BELOVED SALUTATIONS-
To God be the Glory;
May His perfect love dwell in us?
Agape no greater love from man;
Yet He in us (does nor do sustains);
Beloved Dear one may His favor, grace and peace;
Permeate your spirit, vessel, mind and home;
We are whose we are;
And we’re covered by the Father Our Lord;
Glorious and Wonderful, Hallelujah;
Good day, good night, I love you as well;

True Story
Tooling down the highway, through a New South country town
Listen to the crackle on CB
A voice comes through the speaker, faint and on its own
I wonder if they could be calling me
Now the CB things illegal, so we need to take some care
It could be an Inspector or a Cop
I'd like to reply to them, but do I really dare
I found an isolated place where I could stop
I made an answer to the call, asked roughly where they were
Turns out that they were not far down the road
I returned to say where I was, but made the spot a blur
There is no such thing as safety overload
Along comes a red Cortina, with antenna on the guard
I put out my left hand to flag him down
I was closer than he thought I was, so put the brakes on hard
The first stop that they had made since Sydney Town
He got out and came towards me, his wife still in the car
We had a yarn and planned to meet another day
Now that was forty years ago, and I can say that they still are
The closest friends, that we have had up to this day

He is a lamp light diffusing a glimmer
of life’s silhouettes, of intangible wisdom
through this poet’s desire to impart subtle
word-beams: that I travel within his universe
filled with awakenings…and I immerse in verses
brightly warmed by his gentle yet lofty flames,
pulsing within me, refreshed and victorious.

When I feel worried,
Without delay I open
Jan's poetry page
She makes me laugh out loud for
she is the limerick queen

While Broken Wings enchant with deep refrains,
Jo cleanses my night through her songs of hope…
As day ends, Laura’s love melody wanes
Till Jan pipes funny lilts…how can I mope?
