Of feet crinkles crispy snaps with your mate,
as the ebbing tides that breaths winter's fate.
Echoes summons a dusty field in white,
closets freed skis and sleds still not quite right.
Few sunflowers escort its mentored sun,
facing their eastward repose position.
Brisk breeze tails a crafted shawl snuggly wrapped,
home, hot cider, lit fire, read book is lapped.
A forested cabin that's well-engaged
coast reservedly entertained assuage
A prominence forestalls in burgundy,
copper, and blonde. Snowflakes smooch tenderly
the fallen perianths. Forgivingly
melts to a smooth touch that norms Autumn's eve.

Inquisitive sorts enigmatic notions as positions--scaled left for the right-hander--behold various perceptions, thus preserving perfection as a cure for misdirection's subtle draw.
Earnest forgivingly weakens its posture as truth betrays, incredulously, amidst reality outfitted in non-traditions; Judas kisses a face, while the strummed favors oils embrace a straining revelation that pleasures the muted.
Distractions of another sort muse the ne'er-do-wells, while diligence inks the lost, ambulates ambitious quill of risqué 'Olympia' whose indecency is shaded decently.
Tryst loses in translation, forms anew in an altered view; observant exposed a chapter; a spilled review cores a novel of two; meeting of the minds formed upon a ruinous and trifle distraction, whereto whenever praise ventures, "A dull knife makes a cutting edge."

A MESSAGE AFTER DEATH
And I have died,
in antiquity,
and noone ached for me.
Some rejoiced,
young as I was, as I bled on the cross,
drenched in blood, in agony.
Not a single tear rolled down for me,
when they nailed my bones to yew,
the dzelats were singing sneeringly.
and I was smiling, forgivingly.
In that life so brief,
in that cauldron of hell
in the tarnished jaws
I begged for love with poetry,
fruitlessly.
And as I have perished
to all I have forgiven,
soaring to Third Heaven.
Into the mountains of crimson jade,
Barefoot with the angels I stroll,
It is raining milk and honey
on the squares of the city of gold,
just as it did before.
Here, there is no pain and misery,
resentment and poverty, fear and sin,
by the beautiful streams,
sweet fruits are blossoming,
here, love is always waiting for you
when you come to stay from far, far away.

We knelt beside her with all our sin,
with all our horrors hid deep within,
and yet she offered us a smile,
knowingly, lovingly, forgivingly.
Our lives she captured in her eyes,
all the wherefore's, what-fore's, whys,
all the half-truths, fibs, and lies,
all the ways we made her cry;
and yet she smiled when she passed on,
her tears were wisdom to carry on,
let light shine ever from her eyes
to guide us through our darkened lives.

MANKIND FORGIVINGLY I SHALL LOVE YOU ALWAYS-
No matter what you do to me;
I will love you more certainly;
You may not believe, this;
But if I could love anyone it would be
That person whom hurt me the most;
You see if I would love anyone;
It would be the one who cause me hurt;
And if I could love anyone who would it be;
That fellow sinner for it’s enough grace for him and me;
And if I could love anyone below;
I’d ask of the Father to restore their soul;
And I am forgiving, as I am forgiving;
So let’s all be forgiving beyond our last breathe;

He tapped the keys in his pocket
as the sound of the music moved
them both down the highway.
Streetlights painted the way
forgivingly, and eased the
transition.
He would be home soon,
back to the place where
she had first retrieved
this man
and in slightly better tune.
Sometimes all you need is a good friend,
and a radio.

Time slows next to stopping
A small glimpse, of what death might feel like
Everything, I've heard about this moment is true..
Crunching gravel scraping my back, fuels my rage
Then a lifetime of memories return of you
While God forgivingly, holds us in the palm of His hand
Screeching metal drowns out the anger in my head
Breaking glass flying - I know we're in danger
I cry out your name, we're now totally in His care
Upside down - rolling towards death's door
I realize the fault was mine
Too fast - too determined
And at what cost
Now convinced, both our lives are lost
When we walked away, a miracle that day
Not even one scratch anywhere
The rage was gone forever
And I'll never again drive that way!
Being angry......
Affects everything.......

I will watch over you
To protect you from all harm
You will never have to fear
What lies there grinning in the dark
You will sleep soundly as I stand guard
Surrounding you with comforting awareness
Dancing and swirling in your soothing dreams
Your mind saturated in lovely things
And as darkness scours the earth around you
I will sing you songs of hope
Praising you for holding on
When all else seems to fail
When all freedom falls
Entrusted companionship will give us permission
To forgivingly prevail

Lost souls in hollow of his hands complete,
Emptiness seems to continue to repeat.
Forgotten souls running wildly discreet,
New souls planning total deceit.
Embracing emptiness of his holy hands,
Gracious and giving souls see the sands.
Walking not alone, forever across lands,
Hear glorious sounds of Heavens bands.
Hollowness of his hands forgivingly filled.
Blesses those who solemnly grace the guild,
Saving ones lost before fate is sealed.
Ask, you shall be given, all he does yield.
inspired by contest but not for the contest.
hopefully another will be coming.
