PROOF

Shall I record every WORD
Dreams given in the night
Should I seek confirmation
From those who don't know the Light

Should I show prophecy
And attest to the TRUTH
Open books of warning
I've given since my youth

Will Kings and kingdoms
Rise up and claim allegiance
Approving of WISDOM
They act out in appalling grievance

.....against all evil

That is of Spirit is Spirit
No flesh can clothe LOVE
The purity of His heart
Cannot align with anything that matter is made of

The eternal record is finished
Recorded on the Spirit of man
When the soul arrives in the space
The resonance reveals the plan

Unchangeable, undiminished
The resilience rings forth His glory
What a privilege to be
A single WORD in the everlasting story

....grace has walked us through

Premium Member Imagine A Riddle

Peep day matrix,
    of willowy fog,
      grey sprinkled usher,
       to ephemeral epiphany,
          frail  cloud mantle,
         vacuous veneer,
             or token inkling,
           amorphous tweet,
         encoded riddle flimsy,
        sunshine arbitrator,
         dispells hazy, 
       symbolism

Premium Member Reflections on Childhood Days SK

I sigh, remembering moments in time
Enjoying life in my younger years, just being a child.
I remember times living out in the country,
Surrounded by rows of young plants emerging from loose soil
And orange tree groves around our home.
I loved to sit or climb on their cool, dense, shaded limbs,
Extending and bending out like roots in the sky.

Temptation never failed to pull, peel, and enjoy the sweet, juicy oranges.
Or wash a freshly green top, an orange crisp carrot pulled from the soil.

The sun-glowing sea slowly moved toward the horizon,
Disappearing into the deep blues of the evening and the twilight hours.
A delightful flurry of fireflies would appear.
They drifted, glowing, an ethereal presence
With a delicate, rhythmic wing motion that made them appear
To float and twinkle among the foliage in the night,
Landing and perching among the foliage or on the ground.
I would run out into the high grass, in joyous excitement,
With a glass jar in hand to chase a whimsical scene.
I loved the feeling of joy watching them glow in flashes up close.


Premium Member There is war '

It is ongiing..Its in the spiritual places, its
On the living of a viable life, its on your freedom.? Its on your thought pattern, on
Your movement, its always been so' yet now its more visible, all is being revealed.'
Leading to a push to cut back regular 
access, the Bible once was under lock and key, its always been like this, information control by some.? Do we 
Wish to enlist? And fight our indivudual self.'  Also do we recognise the scenery.?

Mariage

Marriage 

The body still crossed by yesterday’s gentle fatigue,
and yet the mind light, moments drifting,
as if something had moved between us
and refused to fade.

Yesterday, a movement brought us together,
one of those rare moments
when glances answer each other,
when gestures take on a meaning larger than their form,
when one feels that time itself
paused to let us breathe.

Each one, in their own way,
carried a part of that light —
in a smile,
in a silence,
in a hand resting on another.
And this morning,
in the heaviness of bodies still charged with celebration,
a clarity remains,
like a discreet thread that still connects us
to what we shared.

And perhaps nothing is truly over,
for what we lived
continues to walk within us,
like a softness that seeks no name.
In the silence of the day that pushes us,
something remains,
a simple heartbeat,
a simple link,
and that is enough to illuminate our paths.

Premium Member NOT TO BE MAKE BELIEVE--

Not it be, make believe

back to your hometown, lost
my childhood house, loss

once a favorite spot
in nature that feels like home at cost

a personal state getting back lost
loosed clock

uncosted lost  on a vacate lot
my childhood house, loss

condemn, yuck
all, ahhh!! shucks

Can it truly be 
make believe, Not it be,

Premium Member Becoming Part Two

Becoming my own essence that quest,
    of marked candid  introspection,
       a disposition to embark on,
recondite global.bold voyage,
    jettison vacuous self-distrust, 
          that sabotaging virus veneer,
I once did sanction as odious habit, 
   for protracted periods at first blush,
            phases I squandered, lost tally of,
so immaterial to core perception
