Thank God for waking up, for opening our eyes
Another day is at hand
filled with opportunity
perhaps a wedding band
Thank God for releasing our arms from sleep
Thank God for separating the land from the water
For giving us two legs, for letting us upright walk
…not to mention creatures who think and talk
Thank God for girding us with strength
for giving us perception
in three dimensions
height, width, and length
Thank God every minute of every day
for the countless miracles He brings our way
for our elbows, shoulders, our feet down there
for our eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair
Thank Him profusely the day before we die
Do it devotedly ~ we’ll begin to understand ‘WHY’

I'm utterly a hermetic swarm of chemicals.
Our atoms are uniquely spotted over medicals.
Inside every iota arise unique waves of strenuosity.
It is stunning since we're concerned not to see.
The intensity waves in the query are identical.
In each one of us?In the enduring genetical?
Hence, it is the idea of genuine humanity.
My inner being is made up mainly of vitality.
Our planet is a satellite girding a stellar body.
On a heroic endeavor as you rest adequately.
There's a compelling goal needs to echo left or right.
All is cautiously stowed to a programmed flight.
While lying in bed wheezing and having a dream
You'd be flabbergasted at the spots will redeem.
You'd have beheld the divine cores in their glory.
What might have ensued will stall you ever-lively?
The eternal truth, however, is a lot as well peculiar.
If you didn't foresee Earth is, in eternal fact, flatter.
There's a compelling reason that needs to unfold more.
It's superb that we didn't all fall on a live shore.

His light shines
Surrounding me with hope
Everlasting love
Peace that keeps me
Assured of the victory
His light glows bright
Encompassing me with joy
Amazing grace so sweet
Gentle flow of song
Whispered on the heart
His light sparkles
Radiating a tenderness
Kindness so vibrant
It feels like adoration
Breathing pleasure
His light glimmers
Enfolding me with stillness
Silence that believes
Enriches hearts with faith
Assuring with praise
His light glitters
Enclosing me with calm
Certainty that He is alive
Giving hope to every life
Answering prayers
His light twinkles
Enveloping me in compassion
Soothing away all sorrow
Brightening thoughts with surety
Singing silent relief
His light shimmers
Hedging me with protection
Securing my direction
With wonder that is accepting
Of every supplication
His light glistens
Girding me with armor
From the God who is always
There to guide me through the storm
Piercing the dark with His love

Competing spirits move about
seeking a patron, loyal scout,
trailing branches down wooded road
with blessed prod or cursed goad.
Tempting teens on a risky route
competing spirits move about.
Looking, lead in a lustful way
mean spirits look for waves to sway.
Guarding with a license divine
safe spirits shield a tender vine.
Competingspirits move about
guiding, girding the naïve sprout.
Until the forests all close down
two warring natures will abound.
Sheer zeal keeps each from bowing out,
competing spirits move about.

Faithful stewards* strive for “Well done!”
Doing utmost with strength’s fullest
Serving Christ, the eminent One
Who deserves verily the best.
With the Lord’s grace as girding might
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Radiating life-building's bright light
Exemplified by God's great Son.
With masterpiece they had begun
Perfection upon faith-venture
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
Through divine nature and nurture.
Modelling humble excellence
Inspiration for everyone
Working in diligent silence
Faithful stewards strive for “Well done!”
*Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

mystic mind moaning
voluptuous veins vying
hoisted heats hankering
squeezing salient sanity
girding gaunt ice
veiled by vice
hollow joints jangling
eerie echo smirking
felon fun flickering
drooling darkness dances
drooping over vices;
salient silhouettes sketches
on and on
smeared space gnawl.
