JOURNEYING WITH WISDOM
Like the sun and its being,
Wisdom knows no dimness;
Her light is eternal, and where she is,
There can never be ignorance of darkness:-
For like the sun, she shines forever bright
In the inner sanctum of the ego of mind:
Inevitable truths, flowing like an enlightening river
From the valley of the womb of God’s infallibility,
Forever birthing the living word of the tree of life;
With the divineness of guidance always available
To those seeking her cosmic counseling:-
And may the source of wisdom’s floating river
Forever stream the depths of the valley of my spirit,
Spewing service to all, in dedicated labors of love:
My wages, her flowing baptizing waters:-

Sing a new song the divineness
of it all the rapture of the coming
hour the sheer need for abundance
created so bountiful throughout
this wondrous beauty a subtleness
awakening mere virtue while the
mild mannerism moves in delightful
colorful hues dancing between glorious
stain glass windows while weeping
willow trees sway cardinals perch
as the eagle soars the sky a wonderful
hymn springs forth beckoning my soul
as fear anxiety sadness sorrow drowns
my soul sings loudly over the mountaintop
I hardly recognizes her today assumption
the beauty within shines as warmth
compassion kindness blossom's in the
hearts and minds of on lookers flowers
bloom as I stroll pass wisdom shakes
emptiness is mortified by my edification
a proud peacock absorbs my purity
I am angelically lifted by harmonic
melodies vibrantly shaking my tail
feather simply singing my new song

Alerting me to the awareness of the Almighty
Is this soul-soothing taste merely the essence of caffeine?
The coffeeness, as the divineness, has concocted tightly.
Leads my unconscious conscience from the seen to the unseen.
Though taste buds are within me, a scent from far I savour
Towards the unknown, like smokes of frankincense, moods arise.
An ambrosial blend of human-divine is its flavour.
It brings the soft sweetness of self-surrender as a prize.
Every food and drink mingles with the psyche and physique.
Atma-Brahma fusion is the soul of all our actions.
No deed is great or small, as each deed leads me to the peak.
Of heaven-experience, though they're filled with abstractions
Be in concord within, hence I say, as you sip each drop.
Its flavour should last long, like the resonance of a harp.

Thankful for my creator I praise Her nobody's greater,
The hidden denominator a mystical commentator,
I'm wishing to find Her later I'm traveling slowly but surely,
Learning lessons I'm purely a child of God She assured me,
She'll save me from hell's fury Her mercy always prevails,
Vicegerence man's duty I honor people as well,
While hoping to get my blessings I'm washing my inner essence,
Cleanse it til I'm perfected Im serving Divine Perfection,
The Maker of all of this Allah is all It is,
Shaytan will always tempt me but God absolves my fears,
With faith in Her commission I'm trying to be more consistent,
Being still as I listen for inspiration and wisdom,
Cause idol worship's forbidden I'm changing my way of living,
To God my praise given a slave that stay sinning,
But working to earn forgiveness everyday I'm repenting,
Must admit I be slipping but that don't stop my conviction,
All the Prophets exhibit instructions for our upliftment,
Peace to them for existing thanking the All Existing.

River forever stream my volcanic spirit

Of love and baptizing wisdom being my wages

SEPARATED SPIRIT FROM THE MOUND OF DIRT AND CLAY---
As I walk across the silver sands, winds;
Blows throughout my daughterly brazen hair;
Whisk away seldom the sun dims, its grin;
Shining brightly those grinning light shines there;
Kicks the pebbles corner stone’s made of gold;
Harboring the renaissance of stories told;
I yet still walk through the Holy Garden;
Never forgetting, never seeing sin;
Placed in the heart of the Jesus mercies grace;
Never deny the Father’s primal space;
Caring and sharing alms of misplace;
Comforting and soothing man’s divineness;
Made up of clay and dirt covering spirit;
Departed death walks lands no one hears it…

Bits and pieces of your heart and soul
bits and pieces, fillet and sautéed
for the sad amusement of cruel men with mindless erections
Who snicker and grin
as they lay you down on a bed of nails
Naked and anesthetized
for the purpose of insensate insemination
s and feces, from hearts without soul
s and feces, from cruel little boys, masquerading as men,
with pointless erections, who grimace and sin,
As they fornicate and fail
Naked and cautertized from the meaning of erotic sensations
And that is: sweet tender love and kindness
approximating Divineness
Which the sad woman is so longing for
and the little boy is running from

Do not peer inside,
The mind,
For my eyes only,
Taken into view,
Dancing around,
Watch it skip the beat,
The noisy rancid beat,
Laden with love and understanding,
Yet still bearing the
Inconceivable possibility,
Sharing its trunk,
Its contents,
The disheveled austerity
Of man,
Deep with righteousness,
Civility,
Divineness,
And thirst to quench
The vanquished,
Lumbering soul.

I feel your spirit in the trees
As your blessed birds
Surround me with their song.
That first warm sip
Of morning tea,
My closed eyes,
deep long breaths
As I meditate and
I sense your divineness in me.
I feel your breath upon my cheek
In a caressing breeze
That wanders by,
That faintest floral scent
That lingers in the air
Lets me know
You are everywhere.
I feel one with the rising sun
As twilight skies
Gently morph from lavender to blue,
And your fingers of light behind
Silver clouds subtlety filters through.
I am thrilled to spend
Another glorious day with you.

As I looked upon her face
Beauty she did hold
Capturing my soul
Divineness of an angel
Everyday loving her more
Forever she will have my love
Greater is my heart beat
Happier is my soul
In love with an angel
Just happy she loves me.

Christmas is to me
Something very spiritually
Christ was born for you and me
To cleanse our souls of impurity
An innocent child he came to us
With a great divineness
Sent from Heaven by his father
He is our chosen savior
He lived a life so selfless
To try and save all of us
His only goal was to set us free
We chose instead to ignore his plea
Eternity can be ours to receive
If we really want to believe
This is what Christmas is to me
