No matter how big our sin is,
No matter how annoying we are,
No matter how bad our behavior is,
Never leave praying to cease,
Because with God can abort sin,
He will also help us after death.

Each person,
possesses a breaking point.
But this point,
is unknown until taking place.
Lately I’ve felt,
I was near my flashpoint.
Then I sought,
from God HIS helping of grace.
No matter how hard life be
At the end of the day
We can still survive
This is how good God is
Don't be sad if you have
A lot of problems right now
Everything has a reason and a solution
Be positive; don't lose hope
You will overcome all of these trials
Just pray without ceasing.

You cannot have a meaningful life,
if days are filled with meaningless clock.
If days are filled with internal strife,
you’re busy living your life ad hoc.
On those days, when you find you are stressed,
in prayer seek one who truly cares.
Quickly recall how God has blessed,
He takes our burdens through daily prayers.
Don't use prayer as a last resort,
in every life it should have some space.
Without a prayer life we fall short,
God takes our stress giving us more grace.
She touched each one but soon they cleared like smoke
little infant rogues, always ready for the heady toke
She prayed to the Gods above but all she got was pain
drenched to the bone by torrents that gave way to rain
So in the end she chose the middle way of no return
Icarus moments in the sun that didn't crash or burn
Resting in God's love she got to see the other side,
feeling vibrant and blissful like the slow ebbing tide.

The world has become filled,
with hatred and division.
Many times we let pettiness,
impair our good vision.
Compromise is a word,
most no longer embrace.
Which leads us full scale,
in our effort to abase.
We find it hard to ask,
so instead, we demand.
Seeking an advantage,
to gain the upper hand.
As a nation we’ve become,
morally bankrupt today.
Prayer changes things,
but too many don’t pray.
There is a never-ceasing fountain
Found beneath the Master’s throne
And from beneath the holy mountain
Living water streams have flown
Oh, hear His call: “Come all ye weary
Eat and drink without a price”
Whatever ailment, pain or worry
His great mercy shall suffice
His streams of grace shall never falter
Those who trust in Him shall be
Like fertile trees by endless water
Fearing not when drought shall be
All sinners, come and choose salvation
Wash yourselves in His clean stream
Experience His restoration
He does more than we could dream
How precious is Your loving-kindness
From Your stream are we supplied
And from Your house’s pleasant goodness
Are Your people satisfied
There is a never-ceasing fountain
Found beneath the throne of grace
Beside His stream, upon His mountain
I have found my resting place
Inspired by Psalm 36:7&8 and Isaiah 55:1&2
O how important it is to believe in prayers
Also the power of the almighty Lord God
Thoughful to offer fervent prayers daily
More important is our words and actions
To match what we pray from a contrite heart
We are free to offer sacrificial prayers
But, the Lord God Almighty knows our hearts

red pill or blue pill
wherefrom flows our will
that makes us so choose
rhythm of our heart’s muse
go there oh hermit
straight to the summit
oh breath by breath thus
aboard God’s bliss bus

Ceasing striving, poised in the void
We play out our life role
Fearless, desireless, by love buoyed
Bliss throbs make us feel whole
Journey without movement
In quiet contentment
Love’s our sole sentiment
Joy reviving
Ceasing striving

Quietus
There is a veil shielding the divine light
We know something is there but cannot see
Unawakened is as yet inner sight
The blockage self imposed by our folly
Shift material to ethereal
Requires tuning into domain subtle
Thus if ego cravings still hold appeal
Divine connect koan far from simple
Upon choosing mind body emptiness
We create within joyful magnetism
Imbibing bliss in delightful fullness
Radiating from our mind body prism
To discover new lands let go of shore
Let us entwine with love keeping no score

Since the scourge of coronavirus seems to be increasing,
Now is the time, as St Paul said, to "pray without ceasing!"
With a song in our hearts and joy in our steps
We should praise the Lord Jesus
without ceasing my friends
Shout to the Lord, sing praises to him
Who was and who is and who will come again
With a song in our hearts we sing praises to him
To Our father our God and our Savior and King
Jesus blood was shed for the remission of sins
So with a song in our heart
We sing praises to him
Gods glory is forever world without end
So with a song in our hearts
and Joy in our steps
We should praise God and Jesus
Without ceasing my friends
ceasing to be
what once was reality
penetrating the fabric
of time gone by
taking stock of the
here and now
altering the mind
set
cultivating something new
out of something old
creating betterment through
experience gained through out
time and space
live and learn
is the name of this
game that we all play life

teardrops emanate from within
inner bane, anguish perforatin'
space for vigour devoured by pain
driblets of tears pour like incessant dewdrops of rain
melancholy cuddled my psyche's being
whinging flashbacks juxtaposed - reminiscing
nightmares, incubuses in tight sleep bedtime
death comes, humming lyrical requiem in rhyme
dreams swallow me with fear - exasperate
like ceasing ... expiring ...it's a fate
now, crying ...bemoaning ... myriad tears fell
reverberates like infant thrown to hell.
