Peaceful
More stresses and strains
Next day filled with Peace Talks
Calms down Mind and Heart
God's Loyal Love
Loyal to Trueness
Stickability does count
Tried but True always
Foresight
Lemons grow with thorns
Foresight is lemon meringue
Sour will become Sweet
Aqua Marine: 16 January, 2025
Miles apart in the gleam, I believe her,
Upright on the porch, staring at the mighty above,
Her glassy eyes shimmering with a deceptive smile,
Her loose hair flowing like ocean waves.
Must she be seeing the moon similar as mine?
Our children lie in slumber deep,
Too young to grasp the storms we face.
Here I stand, lost in whispers of the dark,
Unformed, without any foresight.
Oh, my love! How will I ever repay those emotions?
The deepest depths no longer sting,
Perhaps the Almighty is a reconsideration away.
What have I done so horrendous,
For you to endure this?
My soul feels lost in its entirety.
Where a blink's separation takes us closer to certainty,
My beloved, forgive me for this single night of parting.
Looking back at what's happened is hindsight
looking into the present moment is insight
looking ahead into the future is foresight
but looking in all three ways at once
is all-seeing; OMNISCIENT and
the way that God would see.
------------------
Glory and praise to You
Oh Lord. Please bless,
guide and protect
us all now and
forever more
Amen.

We stand at a crossroad,
look right, look left, look up
don't just stand there, speak up
do turn your eyes to God.
Of right, and left, and up,
Detour always beckons
Light is life we reckon
we don't believe in luck.
Detour always beckons,
Of choice we must beware
Lift up your voice in prayers,
Mercy equals pardon.

Whispers of autumn's approach, Apocalyspe ready to roll?
Heaven had seen one struggle. Good and evil clashed,
which found Lucifer & Staff cast to earth in shame.
Why in his hometown did Jesus bind his own control?
At Babel, mighty men plotted strength and had crashed.
God upset their language; now we all play word games.
Are whispers of autumn a mere oversight - why bother?
Nazareth had its little gods, folks with too much clout.
Christ had set his sights on this earth with infinite foresight -
coupled with hindsight, the timely wisdom of His Father.
Does God cloud the eyes and ears of those who dare to doubt?
Who knows? sovereign perspective, way beyond my sight.
Welcome whispers to earth as our world nears rock bottom -
inconvenient, noisesome insights from Agent Autumn.

peeling layers off
realizing something is left
the feeling so right
so lovely she is
time and life made me forget
slowdown so needed
once wanted to leave
lying to myself in droves
my heart was my guide
reunion kiss welcomed
hand strokes so medicinal
fingers expose truth
Love's Welcome Mat Heals
Vibe Easier When We Try
God's Foresight Teaching
FORESIGHT
Dragging myself deeper
in the pit of despair
Trudging through things
in need of repair
Wincing at the memories
stinging my eyes
Staring through the window
gazing at the skys
Stuck here in the mire
stuck inside myself
Feeling like I’m trapped
in a box on the shelf
Self imposed distance
from companionship
Sitting wide awake
biting on my lip
Ancestors tried to warn
of what was to come
But in my infinite wisdom
I chose blind, deaf and dumb
Tears upon my pillow
things that could have been
If what I know now
I had chosen to learn then
The Symbionese Liberation Army hushed
Dusk paved the way for a new day.
Who speak for poor, once rich?
Murderous men surmised-
Women, too, brewed wealth.
God forbid we stay enslaved,
Numbing, numbing, as with
Sexual molestations...
Chasing blood from our brain
Coagulated into pain.
We hurt ourselves not knowing
Why we pine, yet
Long before that final breath,
Moment after moment will meet us,
Forgiving as new day's light.
*
Right here and now the past is gone
Each and every soul renews and mount, and
Give, forgive, and is forgiven, like
Radicals, relatives, and reality of you
Endlessly hopeful just for
Today. You are not the same you.

The poet balances heavy heart
for those needing to know of life's art
The poet knows the rise and fall of love
a wave of pure forgiveness streams from above
The poet see through layers beyond pores
the sinews of souls equally exposed
The poet touches rain with reverence
the breath of God forever presence
The poet smell words of antiquity
that soothes and offers stability
The poet will revisit moments of clarity
so as to share what equals humility
The poet journeys towards Sea
sure of buffering by The Almighty.

The foresight
When I look back on my life, which I seldom do
I think in my writing, I should be deeper; alas, my self-mockery gets in the way.
Why should I think I`m intellectual to have any worth to say?
It appears to me that many on Facebook feel important enough to enlightening us with their homilies?
If you live like this or that, you will find peace and happiness.
Balderdash!
Reading what philosophers said, is interesting but it does not change your mind.
Nor does reading the bible makes you a Christian.
Gladness is a gift and the place for village idiots who lack the ability
to reflect upon life.
speculated on what life is for is useless; the only cure is acceptance
that life is cruel, and if you live long enough, friends may drive you around
asking you about the old days, a time you rather forget.
No religion or philosophy will rescue you; you are on your own until death.
What if eyes could scan the globe?
core of earth, us shifting forward with
Legacies for us to cherish and explore
like coins, in fountain waters of clarity-
The bold, the brave helping each to weigh in
as though sky would fall with weight of sin,
The enemy of man as man himself
befriending the Maker of all things made well.
What if eyes could scan the globe
the core of our heart, us of one accord,
Ladies leading nations: right with brotherhood of man,
equality of spirits rising from ruins to see the clearing,
Creation made new in concert with the Master
class beginning anew, from
A to Z of minds over matter,
Would we study war no more?
Blind we are ,
Tomorrow is pregnant with sadness,
Hunger looms around ,
Humanity in danger of famine,
Food is reducing,weapons increasing,
Minds directed to space,moon,mars,
Farming forgotten, almost killed,
We all need food,clean natural,
I smell doom to great nations , hunger as their closest neighbor,
Humanity let's sit up,
Let's arise,
Let's plant ,
Food food food getting scarce.
