A Quest For Earnest Answer

Where should I go
When my heart is tired 
But in your arms full of warmth 
And comforting soul that giving revival.

Should I go or not
To destiny where it leads me
Or should I stay and cry in silence 
Where sorrow hide and stagnation stay. 

Tell me whom should I see
A lover whose heart is for me
Or

Premium MemberAn earnest entreaty

Slow down now dear, in life’s last lap
The times’ now to reclaim soul’s light
Aglow in heart by day and night

Let’s dwell in the pause, in the gap 
Sans thought our ego disappears 
‘Tis then presence of God appears 

Between two thought forms, take a nap
Whence no longer by mind decoyed
We behold our Self, unalloyed

Know ego

Earnest Ii

He died one year ago today and was laid to rest.
He was a good friend and his name was Earnest.
Earnest was one of three men that I knew who died last year.
He repaired and sold computers but cancer ended his career.
He would still be fixing and selling computers if he was alive.
Earnest tried to beat

Earnest Ernie Van Stickle,
Sat on a mushy pub pickle.
Yeah, Ernie was hot,
He fumed as he bristled.
Now he had a wet spot.
with a big sticky tickler.
He said OH, why not,
and ordered a triple.
Then, even Earnie smiled,
when the bar keep opined,
Van, better wet, than a Thistle.

Lord, help me be who you made me to be,
To be true to myself as well as to others
Help me see the value of every individual,
To live peaceably with sisters and brothers.
Lord, may I be a light to those in darkness
Shining out, a witness to your love and grace,
Not afraid to share the victories of

Premium MemberValue of Earnest Effort

Failure can result from the best of trying
But without it no one would ever succeed --
With this in mind there can be no denying
Success is never fully guaranteed.

Fear of failure is never an excuse to give up
Or cause one to prematurely concede,
Consider that a glitch may be only a hiccup
Success is never fully guaranteed.

Almost everyone

A Restless Cold Night

Hey World!
we all have moments when we need the help of someone else, 
elsewhere we're just out there, 
suffering in the silent struggles of self. 
it's not selfish to be self reliant unless it makes you self centered. 
At the center of one man's island near the gates where the lonely entered. 
The entrance where

Something From Nothing

Something from nothing
Hey, world! Can I ask you a quick question? 
Are we expected to just fantasize until reality ties those self-induced lies to the truth?
Believe that nothing will produce something when nothing is something of a noose! 
Isn't it something or maybe it's nothing and I'm just making a little too much of it?
Like

Earnest

I became a customer when I went to a computer store that's called "Mouse's Pad".
When I learned that the man in charge died of cancer, it was very sad.
He repaired and sold computers and Earnest Owens was his name.
He left this world on July the 29th of 2021 and it's a damn shame.
Earnest was intelligent

In Earnest

I do not know
If what I write
Is good poetry.
I write as I feel.
Words give me a freedom
I have not known in life.
I feel I have a purpose: 
Art has no meaning to me 
If it cannot be employed
To uplift and enlighten
And inspire all humans
To stand in awe and behold
The dynamic, enduring glory
Of God’s Hand in

Premium MemberEarnest Labour of Love

Earnest labour of love for reaching-out pursuits
constrained* by Christ with His grace, keeps bearing fruits…
…unmasking shallow commitment.

Sincere care midst blissful selfishness toward relief-giving
exposes hypocrisy lurking in devotion’s disguise…
…abasing flippant, skin-deep service.

Dedicated ministerial life-building endeavours 
stay triumphant midst rigors so challenging…
…propelling the faithful with peace.

Joyous worship along praise-anchored gratitude
blesses heart for blissful faith performance…
…melting pride’s seething
