No matter where we are in life or who we are with we come together as family
You’re supposed to know
the people you know,
and not the people you don’t
You’re supposed to feel
the things you can feel,
and not the things that you can’t
You’re supposed to be
what your nature portends,
and not what convention ascribes
You’re supposed to love
without borders or fear
—those moments forever alive

Two sets of footprints merge on the beach
Earth wind fire and water
Chariots of passion as lips lubricate desire
Body mind spirit and soul
An Eightfold Noble Path squared in heaven
Love peace desire and lust
Drift wood applauds high and low waters
Corals caress chorus crescendo
A fog horn sounds hope at the lighthouse
Oyster union tantra and waves
Pheromones moan prelude rhythm and cadence
Tremors volcanoes tsunamis vibration
Orgasmic glow blushes the poets’ cheeks
Two tongues and double vision

On a day a number of centuries ago
John Calvin met the great heroine, Joan of Arc,
they both had much indeed in common
in their lives, on God's side, they made their mark
Both were born and came from France
so language was not a problem at all
they had both been mightily used of God
humbly both bowed to obey God's call
John spoke admirably of Joan's bravery
asking did you really hear a voice?
one so audible so clear to be God
oh yes Joan said it was no ordinary noise
Joan spoke of Calvin's work in Geneva
what was it like to see such transformation?
John answered it wasn't me, the spirit of God
it was His work to speak through God's revelation
So much to share can't tell it all now
John and Joan were now real true friends
their great love for Jesus their saviour
who died for their sins for their souls to mend
(I've brought together John Calvin the Swiss reformer(1509-1564) and Joan of Arc who rescued France from English domination. (1412-1431), both French by birth and both mightily used of God. They both lived in different periods of history but thought it would be nice to bring them together and imagine what friends they could be)
A Coming Together
Lizzie Treetop
We reach out to each other across space and time
What an incredible, challenging world we live in
Joining together as one, different people different cultures
Reaching out to each other through modern technology
Accepting things that once could only be dreamed
People recognizing a kindred spirit searching seeking
Exchanging ideas, beliefs, beauty, pain, tears and... fears
Artists joining together beholding sheer beauty
Contributing ideas, thoughts and their many varied talents
Some even sharing a poem, a picture, a piece of music
Friendships, growing developing, becoming everlasting
Even love suddenly spanning across space and time
Awakening an all consuming passion, desire and need
Tis a wondrous world that we have all suddenly entered
To be a citizen of this internet age, such an adventure
Barriers even, maybe one day, seeming obsolete unnecessary
All fears of the unknown disappear as we become as one
A family of the internet age, together across time and space
A Coming Together
Of Family and Friends
These times of years
When friends
Stop and call
It's Christmas after all
Christmas Lights
Adorn the tree
As all the presents we see
People open their hearts with joy
On this Christmas Day
Best wishes are given
As with toys the little children play
We seek to know
All of the reasons
Of this Christmas Season
And though the reason why
The new baby Jesus
This Christ child was born
On the First Christmas Morn

Put water and leaf together
on the stove they make a
zealous, illustrious marriage
a passion, so intense it makes
a leaf, coming to a pleasurable
boiling...
But wait! Anything comes change
as the Milk enters the home,
spilling all of its intents
onto the water and leafs
changing its substance forever
meshing and embracing
until the act comes
as it must
to a stop
finally you have the finished
product
a delicious experience born out
of that effort
sit down and enjoy that Chai
don't forget the sugar!
I feel God's presence and experience His love no matter how
A single touch of His hand is more than enough
I read God's word so I can really grow
God teaches values and guides thru life and that's so
He's always there for me when feeling sad and low
All I have to do is to call upon His Holy name that's all I know
Sometimes tribulations and problems seem to multiply and grow
But I know God will just hold me all the way through.
A single touch of His hand is more than enough
So I fasten my eyes on the Lord as I go
Feeling in my heart His divine love and that's so
Life can be sweet and life at times can be sad and bad
You know that life sucks sometimes and that people run mad
Pain pierces your heart and love can be tough
But the Word of God tells the truth and kicks Satan out
Mistakes are made and life's key just turns rough
I read God's Word so I can really grow
And in my heart I feel God's love and that's truly so!
