A court-ordered fist full of responsibility.
An anonymous man, unraveling beneath the weight of his own faulty circuitry.
Infidelity sparked a chain of conformity—one so unfortunate, it defied precedent.
His kin, stripped of their once-rooted masculinity, wandered into an unfulfilling life.
When faced with strange anger, they clung to a mask—gleaming with false superiority.
Only a fool’s bargain could birth such a belief:
That fatherhood was never his choice,
But a manipulative ploy by a siren
Intent on masking her own deceit.
Though her intentions seemed dubious,
He clung to his delusions.
He chose alliance with a malicious visage—
A portrait of discontent and whispered wishes.
He refused to relent.
But in doing so,
He became consumed.
Exhausted by the very aftermath
Of the rattled child
He once claimed to care for.
Beloved, Agape
I covenant
I come unto you
In Holy reverence
I earnestly do, soul, spirit, mind… love you
I attest to and commit myself to you
Both of us together, in ever
Always we endeavor
Come on to, into me believing receiving me
We belonging together, Our Father in heaven gives us
His due reverence and purposed blessings
Beloved, Agape
I covenant
Covenant EyE to you

“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking~
we attained God consciousness unblinking”
- UnseekingSeeker
I pledge myself to You
I sign this covenant
with the eyes of my heart open
step through the veil you rent
The logical mind cannot fathom
the love you feel for us
So believe we with our souls
the seat of love and trust
For all your mighty power
you do not see with the eye
without fovea, cone and rod,
without retina besides
To you we have no gender!
No color, race, or social class!
For “the last shall be first
and first shall be the last”
No deformity will challenge
your choice to know us and care
Nor the price we pay for clothing
we stand before you bare
The minds of men are unequal
to the task to comprehend
Yet with the soul, the heart
we can truly understand
We catch a tiny glimpse
when first our eyes behold
the gift of a child placed
in weary arms to hold
In the eyes of a bride
as her beloved husband to be
Swears his vows of love eternal
and fierce fidelity
So this covenant between us
of love and loyalty
I pledge not just with my mind
but with all I have in me.
A wind-induced smile greets me. Cradling the baby’s head, floccose like a ripe raspberry; I’m both filled with wonder and dread. The fragrance of the care products is a stark contrast to the latibule I’ve habituated for many years during my tours of duty. How am I to care for this fragile being when mankind is hell-bent on extirpation? The eminent threat is daily updated on the Doomsday Clock. Paradise razed by conflagration like the residue of a charred batch of jam: irredeemable! I can but sigh while I vow to protect him and his mother to the best of my ability.
Televised is the burden of my heart cries;
Lovely is the often awesome struck guise;
We soul, hearts mind envisions together;
Rise in us darling, please the covenant of God
~
For Him in Him His glory and honor:
Energies combine electric triumph;
I dear heart love you more there’s no less;
This coupling is soar heavenly bless;

Would your promise be worth keeping
if it meant my heart would mend?
Or would your promise be worth breaking
for some dope and an empty bed?
February 29 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Deuteronomy 5-7
Key Verse– Deuteronomy 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO FULFILLS
HIS COVENANT WITH US
Praise be to God for fulfilling His covenant with us through His:
Salvation we must thank, value and cherish
Scriptures we must trust, learn, and meditate
Statutes we must keep, do, and teach
Standards we must observe, uphold, and submit to
Satisfaction we must lean on, stick to, and enjoy
Deuteronomy 6:5 Praise be to the Lord for
loving us as He commands us to love Him with:
Renewed heart along His graciousness
Redeemed soul by His goodness
Revived might through His greatness
Rejuvenated faith upon His governance
Refreshed spirit midst His guidance
Deuteronomy 7:9 Praise be to the Saviour
Who is constantly faithful to us:
Filling our consecration with His blessings
Feeding our contentment with His bounty
Fueling our commitment with His bracing
Fixing our clamor toward His best
Furthering our championship by His benefits. Amen.

In mine suffering, I'm not suffering;
I refuse to reject my mind blessings;
Core to promise, I admonish my covering;
I am highly blessed in the witness, of my covenant;
Elohim, creator all power, His purpose is dwelling, indwelling me;
Reciprocity

From the time of Adam God left
For they never kept his covenant
And Noah received the instructions
But they never followed
And salvation was upon his house and judgement was upon the rest
Do you remember Moses
the man that God chose to save his people
And he gave them the covenant that they never kept
For the love that God has for his people
He gave them a new covenant
Through his son Emmanuel
That is God with us
God lived with his people through Jesus whom they rejected and killed
The covenant that assures salvation from the spirit of death to life
And gives assurance for the eternal life
The new covenant not like that of our fathers that provided an adoption for us to be children of God and have the right to inherit in his kingdom
For we all know what the new covenant is all about and if we don’t we should seek and learn
For salvation and eternal life is only provided through knowing and keeping it
For whoever adds to or subtract from the new covenant will be judged and will never enter heaven
My pen is lacking ink for I wanted to write everything engraved in my heart
The New Testament
For New Jew in spirit,
You come and repent.
The Old Testament
Is for the Physical Jews
Fighting life these views.

Covenant Blessing of Light
Radiant sun, redolent rains
Create an arching prism
Reveries of colorful delights
Resident rainbow remembers promise.
Eternal Word -- nailed to a cross of wood
Our New Covenant, written with His Blood
Redemption's Friday is True-- and so Good
Because Divine Mercy gushed like a flood!
We will look upon Him whom we have pierced :(
All Christ's blood and water poured -- from that spear
Our One True Love -- indivisibly tierced
The Father, Son, Holy Ghost's Mercy's-- here
Did our future zeal comfort His sad Heart? :)
Unleashing Pardon to renew the earth?
In Communion, we never have to part
His Lamb's Supper alleviates our dearth
I dream of a place
Where difference will come
And gather what is needed
Regardless of what's been done
There'll be fruits, vegetables
Legumes and grains
Cleaning products, necessities
And the sacred offering each will bring
....to the altar
No cash register will be seen
Because there'll be no pockets to line
Under the government of LOVE
Everything yielded, belongs to the DIVINE
....CREATOR
There will be no theft...possible
For taking has its price
The consumed product
Will reveal the sacrifice
Patience is the golden key
We will watch lives transform
The value of difference
Will become the norm
...AFTER the GREAT STORM
