From all the sorrow veiling this pith of Fire,
From all the greyness obscuring our martyr,
To all the shame Creations’ breathing satire,
Man, what do you hope, you liar?
What do you dream? What do you mean?
What do you deem? What do you seem?
What be your judgement from Supreme?
Why should you be let to breathe?
From all the Beauty you have seen,
From all the Earthliness in your sight, albeit dim,
Mercy from the Lord should hallowed be extreme,
For otherwise, you shan’t be living!

"A music group has transformed the words of this poem into a heartfelt song, it's recorded in the audio sound"
One of the radical conditions for happiness
We stay one with nature, trees, and loveliness.
For the bond between humanity and the earth.
We won't let guilt or fear rule our worth.
Earthliness is what we must embrace.
For it is our common ground.
The land, the sea, the sky, and the space
From which our lives are bound
The air we breathe and the water we drink
The soil that nurtures our needs
All things come from the earth, don't you think?
It's where our life force feeds.
But man has taken beyond what he gives.
And nature's balance is disturbed.
The earth, our common ground, now lives.
With resources overused and curbed
We must learn to live in harmony.
With the earth that sustains us all
For a healthier planet, it's our duty.
To hear nature's clarion call
Reduce, reuse, recycle, and conserve.
These words are what our creed deserves.

Beyond earth’s pull, celestial rules abide
a miracle that moons and asteroids do not collide
out in their vast expanse of nothingness
there is an order beyond known earthliness
an infinite canvas for the multitude of stars
and certainty this harmony can be ours
But really, is it all even possible
and not utterly insurmountable
when distinct realms want to intertwine
for virtuous intentions most divine
to have boundaries disappear
to know balance in each hemisphere
so souls unite and join as one
for celestial righteousness to have won

"To Touch That Blessed Word"
What is the difference?
how must i know?
but infatuated with your cool glance and clothes
infatuated with how you made me fell wanted,
with your acceptance
pride, and belief in me
Fascinated by you, persisting to
the golden glow in your eyes
the tenderness of your touch
appreciation and devout care
was it but only how you made me feel that caused me to return
is that enough for it to be granted that blessed word
or is it but only my imagination
creating something that years prolonged do search
where in earthliness i am left empty handed
with my head amongst the clouds
i question
through my death would you mourn?
for you said you loved me
but is love, love if not eternal...
How can my lips form these words
when my mind can not articulate
but then have i never loved?
As Death narrows in on the other
to call out its name bringing it to run rather, upon you
for that immensity and power, is the truest of unfiltered love
To lay down fear and step together
amongst the darkness of that inarticulate mind.
determines the hierarchy of this word
in which we persistently search.

God’s mercy* brought to us our spiritual freedom
Acquitting us by His sacrificial ransom
Against our iniquities’ entangling stardom
Ushering us to His everlasting kingdom.
With God’s mercy is sure heavenly fulfillment!
Satisfying us with His blessed contentment
Subduing earthliness’ vanity-enrichment.
Granting inheritance of priceless settlement.
God’s mercy is at work in our joyful worship
As the Father meets us within His fellowship
When we draw nigh to Him in prayer-partnership
Being invited to His throne-of-grace friendship.
Along God’s mercy is His wondrous victory
Honouring Him while exalting His name’s glory
Prevailing over sins’ afflicting misery
Triumphant in declaring Gospel’s love story.
*Psalm 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

ENCOMPASSED by shadows...of the trees
In my mind...CONSTERNATION awakens me
My PREDILECTION... of a midnights breeze
APATHY invades...let's me be
The moon is full...my REVERENCE shows
An EARTHLINESS feeling...when it glows
A cloudy CONDEMNATION...blowing free

When you look up there yonder the eye
Every centimeter on God’s body and cloth
Each star in the universe of the unknown
Permeates God’s tears of mercy and redemption
Involved in making God weep are stained souls
Nursery bed of criminal sin thrives in their hearts
Goons of earthliness tend rainbow beautiful sins
God’s grief sows hunger, wars, disease and fear
On the land perceived as the cradle of humanity
Divine force only can delete the durable vices

my consumptions consume me
they consume my thoughts
my time
my worth
my earthliness
my consumptions consume me
they show my weakness
they unveil my evil
they hide my smile
my consumptions swallow light to usher darkness
