Covered by grace, blessed with faith, anointed with favour
Yah is all I need to get through the day
Bless me, Yah, as I seek thee, make me your prologue
While I am building faith, hold on to me
When I am afraid, come down and stay near me
Bear my burdens and cover my scars
Wipe my tears and reassure me that you have me
Let my spirit dance in your glory and light
Lead me to your sanctuary and enlarge my territory, help me
to avoid temptation as I come your way
Holy Father, send down peace to rejuvenate me
Set my feet upon higher grounds, whereby my enemies cannot reach me
Yah cover me, take full control
Forsake me not in this season or world
Cast me not away, bring me back when I stray
Be my strength, salvation and light
Father, who shall I be afraid of when you are my Shepherd and shield
You are the reason I am alive and have survived
In your presence, I am safe
Yah is my refuge, fortress, armour and strong tower in whom I trust.

Flower does not bloom right away
It start with a green contour in the stem
Then, slowly enlarge its mound
Force a little of showing its tip
Another day giving its first outburst
On early morn the first color bright
Which welcome the early bee first sip
To the early waterer brings an early grin
Care a lover that wears a morning romantic smile.

Wrote a poem just four years ago
reminding myself how I must grow.
Entitled it then "Looking Ahead";
Each year, new verse I add to that thread.
“Looking inward in 2-O-2-2.
a more intentional me for You
Resolutions help me get onboard
and glorify the Almighty Lord."
Looking outward in 2-O-2-3
treasuring what Christ has meant to me,
wishing God's commonwealth to enlarge,
thanking my Savior who has full charge.
Looking forward in 2-O-2-4
fulfillment - what God put me here for -
to share my faith as I run this race
knowing that no one deserves His grace.
Looking upward in 2-O-2-5
God’s spirit alone will help me thrive.
Wishing does no justice to His cause;
but obedience wins His applause.

magnetised palms poised to heal
entwine with humble soles of feet
we know not which leaf on the tree
will capture the rays of God’s light
fragrance of jasmine fills the air
all we do is simply follow the scent
totality of presence feels complete
breathing in the sublime elixir of love
radiant warmth spreads at navel
all nodes within form collaborate
fontanel as always remains in focus
conjoined with our toroidal heart
we wear the crown of ethereal bliss
gemstone of light adorns third eye
eyeballs enlarge to take in the glow
of the divine light that lights all lights

She masquerades by candle light
hope unparaded
triumphs
Lady Eleanor will you dream tonight
waiting for the stone gargoyles
by the wayside
by someones achilles heel
you are the slayer
akin to something sinister
you walk to the tower
where you can see enlarge
your designs
by the misty morning

Though the house be untidy, let the grandchildren come.
They will give you the energy you need to get things done.
—Poet
every stinking time, let the stinkers’ feet
be found at your door, footprints adored
on sparkling floors - they shine
let bubbles decorate the air
kid’s smiles - they pop
every stinking time, answer their call
“Grandma…Grandma…”
they’ll exhaust your moniker
but enlarge your heart
they’re a gas, a godsend, a blast

Subtle adrift in inundation
Enlarge can never behold the grip
Forsake bounty repel all cliff
Unprepared to kindle kisses
Child that never orphan
Endless bonds search knots
Wail of wind catches despair
Sands answerless all homes
Migrant birds flock to warmth
Flamingo across continents, forever.
Wasps festive in spring
Fragrance faint in day dry
Rays escort us everyday
As insects master their freedom
Delightful wings endeavor, butterfly
Colors and adorable motley flowers
Beauty everytime wanes
Between two beautiful fares
Paint the truth inside
Infinite that sincere utterless
Exquisite are speechless forever
Who can define softness
Charms of eternal belongs
Savor once in realization.

meet my muse Trixie.
I want to draw.
she wants to play in the Thesaurus.
Trixie is a freebooter, marauder, pirate, she plans to win.
I sketch a monkey, elephant and acrobat.
I am in circus mode.
Trixie slams her green eyes over the big book.
she is persnickety, determined, and forceful.
fat blue Thesaurus is a harpy; she flips open.
I stare at these words - deaden, anesthetized, stupefy.
write them down! Trixie demands.
she is more trouble than a gewgaw, trinket or knickknack.
I avert my eyes, not wanting to play with words
now drawing a circus tent, and a popcorn box.
red and white striped popcorn box has arms and legs.
he sticks out his tongue in maniacal cartoon laughter.
Trixie flips some pages of this dreaded book.
gleaming, sparkling, glistening stand out.
magnify, enlarge and amplify bite me on the left arm.
I am not writing right now! I tell her.
she sticks out her tongue.
eager to work on a magnum opus, creative masterpiece.
I can hardly work on the giraffe.
curious I am to read words where she is pointing
lionize, glorify, elevate
vanish, disappear, dissolve
I begin drawing a lion, trying to break my muse's spell.

Seconds On The Pie Please
Written: by Miracle Man
5/17/2024
Caravans of Illegals,
swarm our borders with ease.
Once here, many are choosing,
to just do as they please.
Each claiming their free slice ,
of the American pie.
while many citizens struggle,
each day to get by.
Our drug and crime problem,
is beginning to enlarge.
Now they’re listing their demands,
as if suddenly in charge.
Upon arrival each gets a stipend,
and brand new phone.
This could all have been avoided,
by a president with backbone.
In case you’re wondering,
a Republican, I am not.
I’m another troubled citizen,
unintentionally, stirring the pot.

Enormous I’m becoming. I am greed.
The neighbor’s car and house and lawn I want.
And even more than that becomes my need.
Know this. If I’m not fed, I’ll then grow gaunt.
Since some can have a void they cannot fill,
incessantly I’ll clamor to be fed.
A demon and unseen, I’m growing still.
I scream inside the quenchless person’s head.
I grasp and squeeze and bleed his inner core.
I do this more and more as I enlarge.
Then charity can stay with him no more.
Indulge me, do, and let ME be in charge!

GOLD AND BLOOD
Mantis eyes magnetised her sister’s heart
felt its imprisoned glint of gold
willed it to enlarge into a
lotus leaf upon a sea
It floats on a lake of blood before
dawn turning hot burning blue
heat of her own blood
gold of her own heat
‘Let her not drown in
bloodied gold of red
running thick and deep’
So she murmured, so they did
To a shore of soft sand
Heart sailed escorted by
obsidian lidded dragons
gloomy gold unshackling
Guts, throat, tongue
puddle, pond, lake of
blood transmuted to turquoise
gold and blood morphing
Cupids created decoupage dishes
with bloodied dollars gold
called for another stint
to alchemise pentacles cold

Dream
It is the joy of life
As a boy or girl
You often saw your potential
Believing it today is not inconsequential
Always apply light
Not heat to your dreams
Dreaming can get you through the struggle
Dreaming can enlarge your life
And take you out of any situation
Only living in a bubble can result in some trouble
Because at times you need to enlarge your vision
So always apply light
Not heat to your dreams
You are bigger than the present
So cement your dream by taking action
A fraction of your life will be
Filled with joy and pain
But you must maintain the desire to grow
Dreaming will show you the way so
Always apply light
Not heat to your dreams
