WE

We lived many times, like days and nights, the time continued on. 
We lived in many places, we bloomed like the flowers and trees, we grew and achieved. 
We drank from springs, we laughed, we cried, we sang, we moved like the light bright, then dark, marking our marks. 
We lived in love, we lived in him, we lived with all he created and we learned from our sins. 
We let the storms carry away the ugly, the damaged, the deceivers, and all the ones that caused us damage. 
We lived many times, we journeyed through time looking at all the stars, smiling at the moon with its shine. 
We walked up higher in the clouds and tried to get a look at heavens high. 
We dreamed each seasons, and worked toward marking this journey better each time. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

"Set Your Mind On Things Above". - collosians 3:2

Higher, through this loftier
Discretion of mind
Than what does flash, sky-winging
To Earth's space confined

Places one, which bright state in
Is joy's true Heaven.
Clearer, purer. Whose source is
God. Ever risen.

Lyre-clasping, a warbler, too
Myself, of love songs.
Miss, smiling meek, attested!
Which trait there belongs!


Premium Member The Journey of Your Name

Born then drawn on your birth certificate 
A full legal name and identity.
Some simple, short or long and intricate
It follows us always and plain to see.

We learn early on how to write our name
In simple letters or cursive styling
Our name travels with us as plain or vain
Through academia, records, filings.

What of streets, buildings or on monuments
Or long-faded through time and forgotten?
In directories high, like parliaments
Or lineage with children begotten?

In the end, but one written name alights
Is it written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

Premium Member Faith



a fragile thread gleams
connecting heart to unseen~
faith's soft shining dreams

the vast dark ocean
faith's small lamp guides through the storm~
rays of emotions

inner chilling doubts 
faith's steady warmth dispels fears~
soft sunshine sprouts out

when words cannot reach
faith builds a bridge to the soul~
failures, lessons teach

the mountains stand tall
faith whispers, "You can ascend"~
step by step man crawls

a tapestry rolls
each color, each thread, a faith~
a beautiful whole

a quiet morning
faith awakens in the soul~
heaven up high sings

gentle sunrise bright
washes the world, faith returns~
a heavenly light,

Premium Member WALKING AROUND HEAVEN

Biblical promise from the beginning
Preparation well kept
Heaven’s arrival
Meeting all the Disciples, Moses, Joshua, Abraham and many others
Far beyond the ridges of Earth
Eyes have not seen
Seeing my friends who passed before me
The place of sweet and spiritual vibes
Walking around Heaven Day and Night
Golden prayers
Calm, Secrete and Pure
No worries nor pain
Uplift into a new tomorrow
Songs of Glorified
Hallelujah praise
Appreciation being on the highest
Angels fly
Kingdom of Thy
Talking personally to everyone including the Lord face to face
Living on Earth was a waste
Spiritual rise
Heaven’s Revelation energize.


Premium Member The sound of nature

Escaping from work loads and pressure
Gasping for some fresh air and beautiful melody
I listen to the gurgling of water
The whispering of wind
The rustling of leaves
The chirping of worms
And all these commotion and sound of nature
Are like the voice of God
Intimate and heartwarming, soothing and calming 
Coming from heaven

Ready for heaven

Ready for heaven
Sky so pure above
Calling for me
All the long days blessed together
God I can wait to go to
Heaven
Heaven waits quietly
Still morning, still hope
Any day you call, I'LL answer quickly
Heaven I will be ready
To go to heaven
Whenever you send the
Angel down from heaven
To find me here
He'll carry me
On his wings
On his wings
Flying on to heaven

Premium Member Not Made For Goodbye


Not Built For Goodbye

I wonder if you somehow knew?
When you heard my infant cry.
That I was somewhat different.
Im not built for goodbye.

As a child at play with friends
How I longed for them to stay.
But when they’re mother called them in
I’d watch them walk away.

It seems I would grow used to it.
When there’s goodbyes I must bare.
No matter just how hard I tried.
God knows I’ve known my share.

When lovers left, the tears would fall.
Could it be it’s my mistake?
Each love when it reached its end.
Again my heart would break.

I knew one day the day would come.
You would spread your wings and fly.
And on that day I must be strong.
But I’m not built for goodbye.

So mother, turn away from me.
So you won’t see me cry.
The child once held inside your womb.
Not built for goodbye.

Barking.Off, away

Barking. Off, away
By Frank Daub

She is UNAWARE that she cannot stay – too long.
Her time is limited to short intensiveness,
	so, she doesn’t hold back, but plays
	and zooms in circles through every room
open to her padded paws.

Stopping suddenly short –
she remembers the love we share
and she pads back to sit looking up at me.

That is when I pray that pups are part of Heaven.

Uplifted

The stature of the oak tree
Measures holiest if judged 
By natural proximity to sky
But will never reach heaven

And thus by ego of man,
That which extends beyond
But not upon highest
Must be leveled to uplift mankind

Axe to trunk yields the great length
The most capital for human venture
To build the path he may climb
Faith in founded access to sky at last

What we know of uplifting oak
Begs us to recall the sequence
That while man constructs the stair
Too is oak in which he will be buried

For the sacrifice of dear oak
Who was exalted in godly breath, light
Promises that thou who dare tear down
May be buried low, below root, below feet

And when river rise, when mankind pride 
In terrain built higher still
It is man who shall sink deeper
As oak, most faithful, did not defy own nature.

DEEPHEARTED

DEEPHEARTED
By Frank Daub

Softly told –
	in the manner of a wedding vow –
“I am going home”.
Said in the morning light sitting at my side.
I saw the Bride
that she had been. The GIRL
	that willed to give all –
And DID.

I write it now – to help my soul
ACCEPT the fate He sent. 
Belief comes now in waiting
And
Holding tight the Sacrament –
of living as He told us
So.

The recipe book

I picked up an old recipe book looking for something appetizing to cook, the recipes were very old and something unusual was moving in my soul. I wanted a taste and resonate beyond the heaven, a taste that was different and one that would appease the global longinging. I have tried British cuisine but it was too cold and it would have rapture my soul. French and Italian was full of compassion; extremely romantic so I place an asterisk beside it but later I will see if that will fit. Chinese cuisine was too hot and Japanese was too flat, Vietnamese and Thai was too hard to comply; too much noodle would ruin my sleep and cause my spirit to weep. Mexican was too spicy and Middle East was too dicey. I still could not make up my mind and I want to bring the universe alive and appease their appetite and so I turn my head toward the sky and watch the cloud slowly transition in the sky.

Premium Member Woke

We are never Woke! 
Cool, catchy, hip
neat sounding expression

but deceptively misleading!

Best we can do is rest,
shelter at a pillar of Awakening….
-----------------------------------
We choose our possessions -- 
Choose what possesses us -- 
The Devil, with his lures
of power and gem-my babbles -- 
Christ His promise of Soul
Liberation: ever higher expansion,
Awaking consciousness into spheres
of unimaginable cosmic spiritual
wealth – Christ, my heart lightener;
guide through shrouded corridors,
enraptured, trans-versing mystic chambers, 
those sky-high mansions for initiate 
flight.  I become the Light-bearer! No captives in 
Christ, only partners, who serve the Father,
totally dedicated to His Children's uplifting.
There are no dogmatic prisoners in
Christ. I follow Christ, who follows
God, joyful in a journey of unfolding
omnipotence.  What Father wants
less for His Children than he has
For Himself?  The Almighty, ever
present, ever loving, beneficent Great I Am!

Premium Member Stalker

Stalker

Revelation 21:4
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

King James Version (KJV)



The scary thing, the scariest thing
Is it hell? Could be hell
For me, the thought of leaving this earth
Without Him…

To escort me from earth, to everlasting
To usher me from death, to life eternal
To shepherd me, from darkness to light

The scary thing, the scariest thing
Is the hell that is hotter than a fire
The hell where God’s love is never 
A place where God’s light can’t fill up the shadows

Hell is a place where a soul will never know
The sweetness of peace that is death’s great relief
The blessing of a light that shines, forever bright
The beauty of heaven, where He is wiping away tears

Heaven, where He is there to reveal
Heartfelt joy, everlasting wonder
Melodies so rich, like honey, sweeter
Sweeter than the moment of birth
So that death, the dreaded stalker
Fades into the Presence who is eternal,
Full of love, His Son will comfort the soul supernal
