TO THE VINING CHILDREN…VIBING…
(Apropos Of A Scriptural Inspiration)
Let us be as the Vines
Of The Gardener;
Let us who have been pruned
With love and awareness,
Have branches sharing fruits
Of Truth, Peace, and Love:-
Indeed, may our branches
Never ever be void
Of His divine wisdom’s guidance;
For we are poets of the tree of life:
Rooted, trunked, branched, leaved,
And fruited with the liberated word:-
As chosen vines of His love,
Let us continue vibing,
Fruiting awareness, inspiration,
Guidance, peace, and love,
Through the seeds germinating
In the creative fertile soil
Of our gardening poetic mind;
And its onederful oneness,
In its onement of labors of love;
In our blessed poetic gardening
Of divine liberating inspiration.

In The Weathering Of War
In today’s
storming war
weathering
world peace
is rotting out
and we need
to sow new seeds
of her
germinating
new fruits:
the weary world
Is starving
for new peace
and we need
to get to
plowing new fields
of nourishing peace
and healing grace
in this world
that’s in dire need
of rehabilitation
of war’s
debilitating demise:-
(p.s./n.b.)
In proverbial ways
scripture reminds us
in divine wisdom
and guidance
to never doubt
the power
of sowing
seeds:
thus
in labors
of love
let us
strive to be
sowers
and reapers
of divine
world peace:-

The mind hangs in silence,
All is stilled, thoughts lingering
Lazily, as if in cosmic animation;
No words drip from the faucet that once
Streamed waters of creation, and now is
Only empty air passing over an idle lexis;
How deceiving is the thought, idle mind:-
A dormant volcano creates its explosive flow
Does not the idle mind quietly stream likewise?!
There’s no creation that’s void of time;
God himself used time to speak in creation!
Thus, is not time herself, the plunger of idleness?!
Butterflies are timed in cocooned metamorphosis; babes in wombs;
And likewise, black holes are wombed in the depths of time’s space;
Yes, in all creations, time’s time is an instant of its own self eternity:-
Thus, we poets of the cistern of divine wisdom and guidance,
Must ever be aware that the sacred poem is a creature of time;
Germinating in the womb of mind, and premature birth is also timed.
Yes, while time itself–for anything–does not wait,
We mere mortals must wait on the timing of time,
For it is in its own time that the poem is delivered!

Trees are gifts from God
Rooted, trunked, and barked with love—
We are as God’s trees:-
In labors of love,
Let’s palisade life with love—
Our branches shading:-
Let our lovely leaves
Be as those carpeting love—
Nourishing its grace:-
Let’s fruit pregnant seeds;
Germinating peace and love:
Blooming liberty:-

Lined with a fence of modeling chocolate,
treats and sweets but never gingerbread;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
eat all you like it just keeps germinating;
Treats and sweets but never gingerbread,
my cupboard is all out of fondant;
Eat all you like it just keeps germinating
pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery;
My cupboard is all out of fondant,
such a taste has never tempted me;
Pappi’ caught in sugared shrubbery,
perhaps they wait for a melted heart;
Such a taste has never tempted me,
so sweet it overpowers the bitter;
Perhaps they wait for a melted heart,
I’m not one for pure cane or phony;
So sweet it overpowers the bitter;
My garden grows popcorn and cotton candy
I’m not one for pure cane or phony,
lined with a fence of modeling chocolate.

O Pantocreator! How great are your deeds,
None other than you, Lord, I shall need
You shall make me prosper that of a germinating seed
All creation of the world! Take heed
For the final hour shall arrive,
to the ultimate faith we shall strive,
We shall face the strife,
And we shall seek the divine
O Almighty King,
In your name I shall sing
Your enjoyment shan't be a fling,
And the church bells shall ring
O hope for the elderly,
In the heavens there shall be eternal reverly
O Christ, we love you dearly,
and we shall worship you sincerely,
O Giver of Breath,
You destroyed eternal death,
The enemy shall face Michael's Sheath
And unto the enemy shall be death.
O Lord of the Seas,
Your Glory is what my eyes see,
No enemy shall be able to flee,
And the righteous smile with glee,
My faith shall never weaken,
that the enemy shall be shaken,
that the children of the world shall awaken,
And Satan shall be dumb-strucken.
O you who granted Eternal life,
Grant us your kingdom in the afterlife,
To your standard I fell short,
But my Christianity shall never be abort.

As night time sets in, my arms wrapped around you, waiting
Feelings of warmth I share with you, mine inside totally are elating
A field of darkness springs from the horizon emanating
Star seeds infinity planted throughout it, germinating
I hold you as still water surrounds us, your beauty without debating
You exceed all expectations exceptionally in a word, obliterating
My unhappiness that was brewing and percolating
As you enjoy a dozen red scents, twelve times more happiness, I wish for you than I'm relating
Your enchanting, extraordinary, respecting you even after those growing stars no longer radiating
