Holy spirit you are welcome
In my life
I am stand still
Like a rooted tree
Old like me
Please don't chop me down
Don't I have the right to live?
Why
I am very old
One you cut me down
There won't be another tree
That will replace me
The odd, faint of blood had soaked the sinner’s body.?
It was the blood of crying repentance unto Christ.
Laid upon a shore of stones,?the body rested where the rocks cut the holy waters.?
On its surface, shimmering stars were scattered by the hand of God.
Justice had been restored-at the cost of one’s life.
And the Sun now glorified one’s soul-for he’s who had witnessed it.
Yet what is the cost of justice?
It is the cost of one’s sanity..

Jesus words John 15 & 16 -how He is in a believer
Asked about
his gender
The Son
says “NO”
“I created
them solely
for procreation
to flow
“The love child
of Mary
and My Father
on high
“I purpose
them both
my Holy Spirit
— alive”

Never
Living to the max
the writing comes easy
(BUT)
You’ll never live easy
— and write to the max

The Temptress
The Divine Tyranny
of Art
Whose anguished temptation
forever imparts
It grows in your spirit
while taking its tole
And leaves you abandoned
¬ — alone unconsoled
********
Come Rocinante
He was a pilgrim
in defense of a shrine
That doesn’t exist
a mirage in the wind
A new Don Quixote
tilting at windmills
His gaze but a portal
— to the fire within

The Holy Spirit Unleashed
Jesus, the Builder so loving and true,
Makes all things beautiful, faithful, and new.
The Holy Spirit gives courage each day,
And strengthens our hearts as He leads the way.
Like Stephen so bold, full of grace and light,
We stand strong for Jesus and choose what is right.
Lord, let Your Spirit shine brightly in us,
To follow and serve You with faith and trust.
When we feel weary, discouraged, or weak,
The Spirit brings comfort and peace that we seek.
He teaches us kindness, compassion, and love,
And points every heart to our Father above.
So let us surrender and answer His call,
For the Holy Spirit can strengthen us all.
May Jesus be King of each word, thought, and choice,
As we walk in His Spirit and lift up our voice.
Short, sweet, and simple, the message is clear:
Avail yourself to the Spirit so near.
For when we surrender and let Him take part,
The Holy Spirit will reign in our heart.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit –
Little is known about its history
But its impact is great to many
Being the soul of God
It prevents us from doing bad
Its presence can be felt in miracles
Like when it descended upon the apostles!

*9th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
You are my God
one Father, one Son, one Holy Spirit.
I lift you up and praise you.
You show me the way.
You speak the truth.
And you give me life.
When I am lost,
You find me and bring me home.
When I am uncertain,
You share your wisdom.
When my days are weary,
You bring me strength.
All my days, you are with me.
You have faith in me, when I have none in myself
You sustain me with hope when I fear all is lost.
Your love overflows within me, when
the depth of spirit runs dry.
I am nothing without you.
And I find no greater joy than sharing my life with you.
I have no greater gratitude for anything
than for the Grace you have given me.
And as I walk this trail that I call my life,
there is nothing I look forward to more
than to spend it with you,
knowing you are always by my side.
Thank you…

3.30.26
angelic being
veiled in light and blissful love —
drifting through my soul
Written on human vellum, He’s scrawling
To each heart The Spirit is calling
This pariah of Jeremiah
Calvin's idol producer a seducer
A place where Satan does his brawling
Jesus fulfilled, The Threefold Cord
The Holy Spirit with you will ford
A veil lifted from each face
In the human heart finds His place
Don’t hinder the work of The Lord
This same Spirit was at Creation
Through peace work not aggravation
Is the work of The Spirit
Please sinner hear it, endear it
His fulfillment is not degradation
So be careful who's work you build upon
Be mindful of the shoulders you stand upon
Of those who went before
Those who've opened a door
To a brighter future, He’s already won

Ode to God the Holy Spirit
Almighty God our Watcher
We bow to You forever
You're alone our prime master!
Thy breath is source of our life
Thy light spurs our sacred strife
Thy grace eternally rife
Thy wings spread all throughout
The universe which Thee clout
Against prying evil's snout
Thy eyes constantly watchful
On everything deem sinful
For Thy righteousness must rule
Thy words are like swords of fire
Striking pain on wrong desire
Useful virtue we acquire
God's manifest of control
Fill with goodness every soul
Steer us, Your faithful people!

*First Incubus Collection
Destiny’s position is clear
It wants to be fulfilled in our lives!
It brings help so that our purpose can be fulfilled!
Wake up and be ready
We must get fixated and captivated with our talents and skills
So that we can manifest the Kingdom of God with His Principles.
The Holy Spirit will encourage us and help us fulfill our destinies!
Now is the time to learn a lesson
There will be a session in life that
We will need a destiny helper, whom we must call on!
Our Destiny helper is a necessity for our fulfillment
So we must chase our purpose
We must raise our expectations and
Strike a chord with the Kingdom of God
We must let our gifts feed humanity even
If a river of darkness comes our way and
We should remember that we belong to His Purpose.
Because we were chosen
Before the foundations of the earth, and that is why
We have a Destiny Helper

A cabin in the pines, it’s been years
It resembles what I remember even as it appears
On New Year’s Adam, it begins to snow
(It was Adam before Eve as you know)
Northern Wisconsin calls me home again
Old memories awaken as night thoughts do stem
The oil lamp flickers on nostalgia’s hem
Blank paper awaits: from old yarns that’ve been spun
Outside winter dances in a frigid hush
Inside warmth permeates
Then a gentle knock, and the silence it breaks
An old friend, a familiar face illuminated by fire light
(Is it a second chance at love at first sight?)
Guided by love, and family’s guiding vane
She enters, seeking warmth and to explain
How loneliness shaped her and years we can’t ignore
We talk of days we once shared afore
Our laughter echoing through the snowy hours
Tonight, no passion, only a friendship’s bowers
God’s presence felt, our presences collide
The fruit of The Spirit towards which we both stride
I honor the woman she has grown to be
The full spectrum of her muliebrity
Through grace and time, His love for us is known
God has guided our paths (to us previously unknown)
Can you stop to listen to the Spirit of God
when you have a whirlwind of things to do?
When burdens weigh heavy on your mind
and your spirit feels cold and blue?
Can you stop to listen to the Spirit of God
when you are distracted with technology?
When the screen is always on will the voices
that break through be divine or evil?
Can you stop to listen to the Spirit of God
when on the mountain top of success?
When the dough is rolling, rising in the oven
and you feel more lucky than blessed?
Yes, you can listen to the Spirit of your God
but many distractions still tug hard on you.
The voice of God is still and small,
so be still and let His voice break through.
