We are FRIENDS of God through Christ Jesus.
Father Jesus prayed; “I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” 
(John 17:24)

Risen “He knows they are looking for

Loose bird
in huge aviary
lives trapped and unhappy...
Captive bird
in the green field
lives freely and
blissfully

Gentle as the sunlight,
Reflecting hope over snow covered ground,
Softening the heart and soul…
	With a soothing whisper,
The kiss of kindness, blissful – healing,
	Wistful memories, silent dreams
All the blessings, the many things…
That make up a lifetime, timeless truths
Creative gestures, faith that moves…
	Mountains and fluid motion
Water rushing past the beds of smooth
Stones, erasing the past with a heartfelt

Wildly wonderful whacky ideas
Oscillating ordinary objects
Recreating reinventing rejuvenating
Developing deliriously delightful dendrites
Striving for succulently sassy sentences.

I've been whining for years

And I know you'll agree

That it's now safe to say

It sucks ... to be me

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

B-A-P-I-A-D-S

Words spreading across the page, 
limitless in their power, yet completely 
reliant on achieving one goal.
In failing, they seep into the paper
lost as more words steal the limelight,
shattered aspirations crack as they are trampled.

Dedication. Followed by forlorn drooping characters.
Did you ever know delighted letters could feel so mournful?
Who knew painting wilted whispers could dash the

Premium MemberD S Ngashang, An Elegy

Across the length and breath
Of humour land,
None so far has touched
 hearts
 in
A close interplay of service
 and humour like you did

A gem is gone across
 the river
But lives touched
 still evoke
Subdued laughter 
 in whispers
Because laughter is
 gone with the 
Wind of eternity.

Adieu! My friend
Your theatrical jokes embraced
 by friends and foes
Are ever living

~Clouds~
(Hop-Scotch)


Clouds are nice and take many shapes
If you don't believe take a look
They travel fast and can reshape
Clouds I see like a picture book
Sometimes see angels or an ape
Observe in sky they can't escape
They're great to watch from site or nook

Clouds fantastic God's  creation
Benefit man are here to stay
They're like marshmallows in motion
Moving fast

M I N D S

Unsounded minds 
  whispered twice,
Unopened minds
  blinked twice,
Unresolved minds 
  fought twice,
Unclouded minds 
  fathomed twice.

Distorted minds
  twisted twice,
Disproportionate minds 
  measured twice,
Disinterested minds 
  yawned twice,
Disintegrated minds 
  shattered twice.

Inculcated minds
  nodded twice,
Inconclusive minds
  repeated twice,
Inexplicable minds
  questioned twice,
Irrepressible minds
  damned twice.

gentle words I hear
but when written they appear
      to burn and to sear.

              BUT

      misunderstandings
   can all be erased if we
       say "I am

F R I E N D S

I once remember how amazing it was
To be in a daytrip where everyone
Strolled in a dim with hazel eyes closed
But ended up in a new beginning

There was a clear picture of fake smiles
This made me awake of dramatic reality
Right where I was sitting and crying
I’ll never forget those hands of sincerity

It was indeed an overwhelming

Moonlit Pool No H-E-A-D-S

Moonlit pool - 
Icy, wintry
Ignoring my buoy
Ignoring my will
No control
I jump in  
Boggy, limp, put out  
For you
But you point
You run
My tomorrow -
Forlorn 
Lowly I bow 
In my icy, wintry
Moonlit pool
