Break the wall -
question all,
resist fear,
but be clear.
Watch a wild flower -
with little power,
blooms all day,
making its way,
with its little big might,
it puts up a good fight
casting every doubt
out!
forging on.
The sun it gazes upon -
without a helping hand
it emerges so grand
beyond the wall,
abiding by its call
pursuing its vision
finishing its mission!

Revelations tell of a sobering time.? Nay mournfull indeed, of which i here rhyme.
A dragon tail sweeping down stars?
Rumor war earthquakes both near and
far' as the anti-christ; the beast; the false
Prophet too, will be locked in battle with me and you.' Fire called down yet un-holy
My mind returns, unto Laheina the way it
Burned.' The mysterious actions of those
In charge, if you think it'll be easy for us
Let me mark your cards.' No life without
Victory, no victory outside of Christ, hold
The line dig into the Bible, before the last
Trumpets blast.!
At head of a firm`s protocol
A differently able soul,
I have known for many a year,
Executes her job without fear.
Hunchbacked, she wears a welcome grace
A thousand watts smile lights her face;
No dimmer switch can blur her gleam,
A waking, smiling joyful dream.
Her smiles brighten the dreary days,
Chase from the blues, grey clouds away.
A warmth that spills from heart to eye,
Beneath the vast infinite sky.
Swift winds,
Soft morning dew.
Smells surround me,
Sudden thoughts of you.
You left so soon,
I did not know what to do.
I close my eyes,
Bitter days gone by.
In your time, did you think of me?
Did you wonder where I could be?
One day comes,
Another day leaves.
You did not cherish all that was good,
You did not love me the way you should.
You passed from this life,
No more longing, no more strife.
Bough breaks, flowers toil.
Feet planted firm, planted firm in the soil.
Stand firm and stay strong
Don't do wrong
Because you don't know
What tomorrow may bring
Stay bold so you don't fold
Stay hold, on your ten toes
Facing the foes, making them woes
Which are opposition to your goals.
Life is not all about applause
But a lifetime course
The game is not to be liked
But to stay alive
So you can thrive and strive
Surviving to pay the price
For where you want to be or what you want.
Be proud of scars
They make you what you are
Walk with the smart and hardworking
Let go of your pride
Stay with the wise
So you can rise
Only then you'll be surprised
Because everything you lost starts revising.
P - Peace can come from enjoying this sweet fruit.
L - Love is in every firm and juicy bite.
U - Understanding we can eat fresh, dried, jam or as brandy to enjoy.
M - Mercy me, how fun can a plum be in any form.
Keep smiling through dark times,
life’s a rollercoaster of ups and downs
~ your attitude your only strength

Hold firm resolve, to remain still,
gentling thought, word and deed,
that thus by relinquishing will,
we let love take the lead.
Awake dear heart, awake
Be tranquil like a lake
Our soul’s growth is at stake
If we’d evolve
Hold firm resolve
The farmer stands with weathered hands,
Tending soils, nurturing the lands.
His heart beats with the Earth's own song,
Though seasons shift and days grow long.
Through drought and storm, he does not break,
For in the soil, his dreams awake.
A quiet strength, both firm and kind,
A bond with nature is intertwined.
Slow down, Democrat!
Another Trump Bump;
speed again controlled --
your downhill throttle,
your Radical in a green
bottle...corked, the lessen:
Don't Drink and fanatically
drive --
All US gears back in Thrive!
Our Nation having had full,
of your screwy, Woke Jive --
You've been overwhelmingly
voted out, to unclog the Nation's
impacted, suffering Republic Orifice;
The People have loudly spoken~
showing the exit-corridors,
to Left Politicians lacking acceptable,
sane, moral borders --
American has taken a huge laxative dump
Bowel corrected, clear for freshly discharging
those newly elected given firm, purging orders!
Ego no doubt played its role
but shrouded light of our soul,
so we now lay fears to rest,
that we may rise in light jest.
Earth life is designed to test,
that soul may rise to the crest
but God’s path of love and light,
holds firm delight, day and night.
With the flag of love unfurled,
thus in but not of the world,
we feel bliss mists in us spear,
till ego does disappear.
Ego that dies, never was
other than cause of our flaws
and with it gone, soul’s light shines,
as presence with God aligns.
We yet need to walk the talk,
taking care never to balk,
that awareness self-aware,
lays before God, it’s soul bare.
Stir up the roots, let them come alive
For in this season, we will thrive
We will learn, develop and see
In ways we never thought it could be.
Amidst great adjustments, we will steer our way
For in Him we are strong, we will not sway
We will change our minds to think like Him
The God of the impossible, the faithful One.
He is Elohim, the God of amazing miracles
With His grace, we will overcome obstacles
When troubles roll in, and fear takes hold
We will stand in His promises and be bold.
For there is a place where we can stand
Where the foundation is steady and grand
We will step back into that new place
Where His love and grace we embrace.
Rains may come and winds may blow
But our faith in Him will continue to grow
For our house is built on the firm foundation
In Him, we find safety and timely consolation.
Hold Firm Your Immovable Sacred Heart
Your sword that badly broken thrown away
night winds blowing another world apart
seven nuns, heads bowed slightly to pray
but what of my loving heart that gave your start
has this terrible world defeated us
did the black river decide to flow west
pure gold or did the dying man just cuss
as those spitting words cursed you the best.
Hold firm your immovable sacred heart
that pierces very deep my troubled soul
in the Heavens, across Poseidon's chart
red roses strewn celebrating your goal.
Your sword that badly broken thrown away.
Seven nuns, heads bowed slightly to pray.

EDIT-
age 24, getting more serious..
Something about her heart, beating;
Something in her soul, intriguing;
The God in her, in her is God;
I standing a firm foundation
Hallelujah
Something in her smile Jesus;
Her voice so wonderful Jesus;
She walks with head held high;
Praising the All Mighty
Something about her faith;
Doesn’t dissipate;
She often late, To the glory of the Father she concentrates;
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
Something in her smile Jesus;
Her voice so wonderful Jesus;
She walks with head held high;
Praising the All Mighty
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
Something about her heart, beating;
Something in her soul, intriguing;
The God in her, in her is God;
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
I standing a firm foundation
Hallelujah

the harder you must try to find a new way to fly.
