The Owl-Father was asked many questions that year
Others did not make a move unless he gave the all-clear
Which one is he? The little yellow chick asked me.
He’s the pompous one standing straight up in that tree.
She flew up and waited for her turn to ask a favor of him.
He blustered and blathered, and turned his pocket watch in.
Staring at her through his monocle, he threw his weight around.
To her credit, she waited for a yes, before flying back down.
When the sun shines
After the rain
I remember…
When the stars smile
Despite the dark
I remember…
When the forests sigh
Amid the clouds
I remember…
When the night falls
Silencing the sun
I remember….
When the winter comes
After the fall
I remember…
When the music plays
In notes so small,
I remember…
When the grief suffers
Beyond the graveside
I remember…
When the fear startles
And a scream is heard
I remember…
When the love begins
Without end
I remember…
You are with me,
Through it all
And, my Friend…
I praise You, adore You
Write all my words for You
Thank You, God…
Without You, I’m lost
Without You, I’m not
Without You, I’m what…
I never wanted to be,
A dark, a shadow, a grief
But with You, I see…
The love that lives in me
The love that You stirred
The Love from Your word
Thank You, God…
For revealing to me
A love that set my soul free!
I never planned it this way,
nor imagined this road, this day.
Yet here I am, and here you are,
walking together under God’s favor.
Fear is personal
Attacking business, you fight
Force to legal action endless
Till resources found exhausting.
Favor is contagious
Blind eyes pass with fervor
Pallor recognized in sincerity
Caught off-guard along the way.
Fear is torment
But love cast evil deeds
Obscurity beyond who sees darkness
Such fearful always hinder success.
Favor is a protector
A comfort for the mind and fervor
Least an assurance to excellence
A sweet wine to drink for thirsty.
Fear oppose favor
Yet, you can manage both with ease
It's a matter of whom you apply the most
For your own good and lifestyle worth.
Hell’s fire does not now exist
for those who die apart from Christ.
The wicked dead are food for worms
As are the bodies of dead saints.
But death for all is not the end.
The God who made heaven and earth
is God of life and not of death,
and it’s his will that men should live.
When sin brought death, He sent His son
To die for man and pay sin’s price.
So, those who in His Son believe
E’en though they die, will one day live.
Those who refuse to turn from sin
Will pay the price of sin themselves.
When the fire of God from heaven fall
With Satan’s host in hell will burn.
As fire burns while fuel lasts
Hell’s fire will burn ‘til nothing’s left.
The fire purifies the earth
And paves the way for the new earth.
God who created heaven and earth
Will once again repeat the feat.
The earth He makes will be the home
Of those who in His Son believed.
The wicked chose the fire of hell
But heaven’s favor others chose.
Men choose their fate of heaven or hell
And God rewards them as they choose.
God does not will that any die
but to repentance, all should come.
Each one must choose his own estate
Choose God my friend and you shall live.
‘Por favor’ means ‘for a favor’
‘cos that’s what ‘please’ is about
A pleasant way to request one’s desire ~
unlike ‘our leaders’ who scream and who shout
The river winds just around the bend
I can't wait to see the majestic mountains
Made by God's precious hands
The sky is full of billowy clouds
Like cotton in the palm of my hand
Lord send down Your Spirit
Where hearts and minds then collide
Bless me with all of Your favor
Never from You will I ever hide
I see the meadow just below me
Oh my feet have left the ground
I now know God's calling me
And now I'm heaven bound
One of my new guys has got these big beautiful brown eyes.
One other night ago he got it going on between my thighs,
Making love to me in terms of symbol of Cancer sign.
Written By: D. Collins 2/8/25
God shows me favor in so many, many ways.
He lets me atone for my life back in the days.
He allowed me to become one of His favorite sons.
He gave me "Meika" who stands second to none.
He gives me the strength to take down my foes.
And, gives me knowledge to stay on my toes.
If God has favor in somebody like me.
I'm down with Him through all eternity.
Visions of Visions
Far in the misty mountains they live,
Cloudy and lousy the skies are not limits as
Beyond they go Visions of Visions .
Deep in the far lands that ,less men enter
Flowing with passion,with rhythm of grace
Maneuver the foundation of Visions .
Cohabiting the epitome, the grace and beauties of this world
Shining bright as light from that of the stars
Standing up and high in the skies
Can they only be seen from afar with the naked eye?
But thee with Visions can see forth
Climbing higher to reach the stars
It takes Visions of Visions for one to,
Attain the greatness that comes with
Thee Visions of Visions
In Crackling peddles they will step
In hard rock they will work
In steep slopes they will climb
They will drench in sweat at cold nights.
Their touch like a gentle bear's caress
Milk and honey flow in the realm of Visions
Their fragrance as equal to that of a nursery of roses
Giggling melodic tunes in my ear
Faint and soft like angelic voices that
Only those with ears of the heart can bear
Are Visions of Visions hawling deep inside
Oh whispering wind, my sensuous friend
I ask of you today
With love I send, caress her skin
To steal her breath away
Breathe in her ear, sweet words so dear
Words that I cannot find
For I am here and she's not near
But always on my mind
A seductive tone, an ardent moan
A feathery light kiss
But for a while, her knowing smile
Would bring my heart such bliss.
by Daniel Turner
Think who would bargain
For his cultivated rose
Better buy than rot.

Time
In a new season of favor, we stand
With open doors to our destined land
It is time to bridge the mind-body gap
Letting go to embrace the new field map.
Transitioning into the unknown
Where tabernacle and miracles are sown
New wine flows, bursting out
Shattering chains of trauma, fear and doubt.
The old structures of pain and strife
Fall, making way for reward and life
Joy, liberty and freedom are found
In this mind-metamorphosis, we abound.
Thoughts reborn, fighting the past
Clearing confusion into new future vast
Crossing over to our miracle field
Where dreams and destiny are revealed.
flippant great white was turned into a peninsula by Poseidon.
others protested on her behalf, but she was happy about it;
now she would be immortal
people would visit her for centuries.
her relatives faded away, or died one at a time.
she remains Shark Rock, a favorite of children.
