Pray ... !


The war will not be long-friends.
The one that is said to come.


About as long as this...

Truly ... . 


What-an-honor, this-sweet-grace ...
perfect a righteous gift-it-is.
 
The day waiting patiently-in the morning,
coffee-in-hand moccasin slippers-
waking-up-to-it-the-gentle-waterfall-awaiting-me ... 
cascading-into-a-shimmering-crystal-
still-fresh-rippling, gently-churning-pool-of-dreams,
the many-wonders-of an alliterate life.


Breathing ... breathtaking-to be sure-it-is-a-chore-itself ... 
 
it-takes-time.
 
 
Round and round-a throw-down-
in-and-out-tic-tock-goes the clock-
knock-it-down-drag-it out-
though-it-may-be-a-crucial, bloody,
treacherous seemingly listless brutal ... 
bruising, got beaten-up-again, lowdown hoedown-
gasping-for air-sometimes-
discouraging ... kind of-a-thing ... .


Sill-so-it-gets-up-early-raring-to-go, 
continues fighting ...
with mercy in hand-
forgiveness-taken-into-the-battle with-it,
it-can't be-lost.


Can't be lost.


Tender tales tall tell-timely
in-earnest the-fervency ... divinity-relevancy, 
 
reality of-the-story. 


Stars shine-cast-their-beauty-liberally ...
sheen's of glassy rays-of-overt light-
sparkle-freely-in-their delight-
under-the-moon-laughter ...
fills the-night ... .


Swallows in their benignity ...
wade about puff-up-full-and-billow ... 
shadow's in their whimsy way, 
cast their welcoming ... 
in-the-warming, 
as the weeping tree weeps. 


Cool-pools shallow of-crystal-rock-and-alabaster-sands 
promote their-gentle fondness upon the pond floor. 


Kindred the swallows in-their-promise, 
beauty-benignity ...
in-the-moonlight-they-are one with love, 


and running felicitous ... 

touched by the union 
follows closely the dove ... 
divinity has found a home.


Liberty residing-evolving-
evermore-abounding well-
beside desire, 

the heart-makes-haste. 


Peace stakes its claim in faith, 
in-the-Son's-glorious-arrival, abandon, 
absolution, return. 

 
Cast-about-in-the gesture, 
blowing-free-in the wind growing-
abundantly like the humming bird-
sipping on wild-honey-dripping-
fresh-in-the-rising Summer-Sun ... .
 
 
Splashing-onto dew-drops-
glistening as you-know-
they always do lying upon lilac-
flower petals, dandelions-
growing even-more-
elaborate-carried along-
with-the-blueberry-
cakes-popcorn-soda-
I've-just-consumed ... ....

"True abhorrence and blind tendentiousness, devoid of conscience 
strive only to nullify freedoms' humble cry-for-peace".


Love, patient, 

proven;-

the memory of God's surrender, tested lay in question.
Mercy receives no rejoinder for her desire, unholy banter, rules the day.
Forgiveness, proper and forthright, in-your-hands-I-place-certain this hope.


Help me ... lift me up ... secure me ... 


They rip and tare, at the fabric of my being,
breaking-into-the-cradle-of-my-beliefs, shouting, 
"where is Your master, He has left you, 
why do you still hold on"?


And I say to them, 

"I believe-that-my-faith-and-I, walk-hand-in-hand-with Jesus, my deliverer.
So therefore ... will-I-never-walk-alone".


So show me beauty; true love beheld ... 
butter cups thorny white milky baby, budding roses-
playing beside dancing lilies caught up in their passions, 
mid the prevalence ... of the new morning winds, undying 
laughter ... unable to be kept, purely acquired sown of faith 
through the fresh wounds; of our Lords treasured innocence.
As so it is I feel ... the beauty, you will feel, and too will see, 
what it means to be truly falling in love with God, furthermore, 
as you embrace the chance again ... .To view, and live moreover 
even greater as you look, openly upon these things,  coming to 
know and accept the Joy that all God's creation ... already 
knows, and holds up for you each day
maturing and arriving, 
in the welcome found adrift 
and proving within the honest winds, 
offered, to you through the love of our Lord 
swirled up today here, and now, again just for you ...

~
Because I 
believe 
"Love 
is hopeful-
awaits patiently-
openly believes, 
because it knows 
grace always...
