JOURNEYING WITH WISDOM
Like the sun and its being,
Wisdom knows no dimness;
Her light is eternal, and where she is,
There can never be ignorance of darkness:-
For like the sun, she shines forever bright
In the inner sanctum of the ego of mind:
Inevitable truths, flowing like an enlightening river
From the valley of the womb of God’s infallibility,
Forever birthing the living word of the tree of life;
With the divineness of guidance always available
To those seeking her cosmic counseling:-
And may the source of wisdom’s floating river
Forever stream the depths of the valley of my spirit,
Spewing service to all, in dedicated labors of love:
My wages, her flowing baptizing waters:-

...or What's science got to do with it?
Galileo looked through a lens one day
And, boy, was he astounded.
The Earth wasn't flat as he'd been told,
It was, in fact, quite rounded.
Pope Urban VIII then came along
And said, "No, that's absolutely wrong,
For, I, the Church, do not agree, and I'm the Wise One.
It's just as plain as plain can be why my pontifical decree's
The Earth is flat and ends right there at the horizon.
And for infallibility, you know, I am renownded."
So Galileo relented and recanted his boast
So he wouldn't be tortured or turned into toast.
A few centuries passed,
A new Pope said he guessed
That his theory might have been misjudged,
Since back then science was begrudged,
And the Church owed him a pardon,
Or a posthumous papal "perhaps", at the most.

It is God against the system
Be still
It is God against the system
The pain of rejection
Through human hands cannot stop the Lord’s purpose
The pain of isolation cannot stop a man's purpose
The situation seems impossible but
According to the Bible
If you say to this ‘mountain’
“Go”, it shall go…
So know that the Lord will fight for you!
You reject my soul but
God will finish the task
Thus, it is God against the system…
Even though they try to shut you down
They will not take your crown
The Lord’s purpose will continue in your town!
Some laugh and claim infallibility
However, God will have none of that so
Know that God fights the system
All glory to Him alone
Job 42:2

Another cabinet of curiosity
What's your super ability
Where endless are the possibilites
What's your philosophy
when it comes to Deuteronomy
Does it carry into Timothy
Do you judge with intensity
And when it comes to invincibility
are you armed with infallibility
or caressed with creativity
What's your identity
As it concerns this activity
Must it be immediatly
and in the immediate vicinity
Can you preform professionally
with perpetuity somehow with duplexity
Or are we still plagued with jealousy
Are your claims contradictory
And all we see just a mystery
And what do we gleen simply from history
something unearned by His posterity
something we learned about super ability

Her light is eternal

There can never be
The ignorance of darkness
For like the sun
She shines forever bright
In the inner sanctum
Of the ego of mind
With inevitable truths
Flowing like an enlightening
River from the mountain of
The womb of God’s infallibility
Forever birthing the living word
Of the tree of life
With the divineness of guidance
Always available to those
Seeking her cosmic counseling
And may the source of her flowing
River forever stream my volcanic spirit
Spewing service to all in dedicated labors
Of love and baptizing wisdom being my wages

The tired soul,
that exerts energy like wildfire,
preempting dark truths of this world,
God questioned of His fairness
The one that lives in assured hope,
Who sees the world's beauty
Beyond its messy evils—
She sings the Father's dreams!
And the moderators—
The ones in the middle—
They can taste the dark and light,
Always chasing infallibility
We need all of these souls,
To unite in their perspectives,
Growing and rising for the other,
To learn to love each other
2.19.20
Note: In this world, we may very well know or run into people with altogether different perspectives - we can find beauty in our differences. For those that don't believe in God or higher power for instance, we can learn how to question things more, and from those that do, we can learn the beauty and value of hope...and to those who are in the middle, we can learn how to be more open minded and levelheaded. Just some thoughts going through my mind... Thank you for taking the time out of your day/evening to read this poem.
Love,
Laura

At this very moment lost in life, predictability
Mind is a mess chaos reigns, steadfastness
Fighting with myself shut out, convertibility
Not through lack of confidence, faithlessness.
Honesty best policy was perfect, vulnerability
Perceived to be bureaucratic, crookedness
Looking into blind darkness is not, gullibility
Rather an inclination to, open-mindedness.
Fatalistic properties impress on, observability
Eternal bliss unlikely basis, straightforwardness
My own admission incurred veto, ineligibility
Life’s knowledge diminishes to backwardness.
Into the abyss keeps tumbling, infallibility
Round and round remorselessness
I’m tired now must keep sleeping, insatiability
In the morning truth is coming, unpreparedness.
Executioner asks any last words, foreseeability
And then comes the answer, breathlessness.

Tried and tested by a virus, novel
I sit by the hearth of my lowly hovel
Taxed some more, without relief
Our kings, of their infallibility, grow in belief
Stimulus packages to the Lords
Home based care for the lowly sods
Dynastic games they play
The masses can only moan and pray

By the Lord’s power, buttressed by His authority
We can subdue our own carnality
Toward righteous walk exemplifying genuine spirituality
While consecrated through His holiness’ beauty
Overcoming enticements of lustful vanity
Relying in His Word’s infallibility
Highlighting divine integrity
Having been redeemed by His grace of compassion-bounty.
Through the Lord’s omnipotent tenacity
We can vanquish selfishness’ futility
Toward joyous service of sweet tranquility
While yielded to His guidance along wisdom-certainty
Learning from Christ’s meekness and humility
Praying with fervency, casting to Him every anxiety
Being upheld against deceit and falsity
Having been strengthened* by His truth’s immutability.
*Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Adversity* builds character's tenacity...
revealing persevering virtuous integrity
smiting attacking afflictions' infirmity
with blows of self-pity
midst lurking false humility
in the guise of arrogant sincerity…
while yielding to, trusting and exalting God Almighty*
upon faith's strength intensifying spiritual certainty
against skepticism, apathy and doubt's obscurity
by the Sovereign power's infallibility
marked with compassionate authority.
*Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

In God’s loving kindness---
Take care of yourself prayerfully
…settled in His graciousness
While you share His goodness
Of blessings’ bountifulness.
By God’s supreme authority---
Take care of yourself serenely
…acknowledging His Word’s certainty
For you to teach with integrity
His truths’ infallibility.
Through God’s sure direction---
Take care of yourself circumspectly
…upheld by His protection and instruction
Before you help the needy in their affliction
Toward triumphant problem-solution.
With God’s perfect wisdom---
Take care of yourself steadfastly
…guarded by His granted freedom
As you lead others to His kingdom
From vanity’s boredom.
For God’s praise---
Take care* of yourself responsibly
…enclosed in His wondrous grace
In proclaiming the Gospel devoid of doubts’ trace
Testifying about redemption and eternal life’s brace.
*1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Eddy lives in the gullibility and cohesibility of a gritty city
Between assimilability civility reality and triviality
Here Eddy’s senility is merely an eligible technicality
A wink of eccentricity fragility debility futility impossibility risibility
Still under that mighty illusion of invincibility virility and viability
Invisibility’s equivalent to gentility favouring stability and incredulity
Eyes void of deceptibility infallibility predictability divisibility
Eddy is still irresistibly witty with intelligibility bordering geniality
The indelibility of his ability versus disability for agility and flexibility
Gives Eddy eligibility admissibility accessibility feasibility visibility and divisibility
Implicit credibility whimsicality spirituality frivolity and squeezability
Eddy believes there’s no margin for self-pity when you own a pretty itty bitty kitty

M-any a thing's broad overview
E-xplains the full summary;
L-ike your wonderful birthday,
O-n the thirteenth of January.
D-etailed and broad overview causes mirth to your mind;
Y-our knowledge increases, information you can find.
A-im to know the broad overview,
U-ltimate truth you shall see;
M-aker's wisdom on creation
E-xpresses His infallibility.
N-ow is the right moment
T-o recognize the one and true
A-lmighty God in heaven,
D-ata provides broad
O-verview.

Will you linger with me when July graces
the spring- dew of my breath
hailing the glow of spring's flowering?
How about the end of summer wind gliding
on a parasol of cloudy hopes burned by
the heat of season's nights?
And come bitter November, would your hands cuddle
mine in a withered age when flakes chime
the whistle of a hundred vague symphonies,
except for unsolicited embraces
ready to enfold you
when votive candles wax
uncertain kiln of infallibility--
If so then lead me on, on...
when autumn spirals through
pensive intervals more frequent than the drift
of upturned leaves in a space of unknowing--
how much more can the eternity of dusk
sketch the piercing trance of time's flames
courting moonlight's evanescence
where forever is but destiny's kismet, not ours ?
Tell me about love ever after...my arms are hungry again.

We claim to love
but foolish pride swallows apologies
wrecks reconciliation and forgoes forgiveness
rendering sweetness bitter
it is an emotional hoarder
an insatiable sin
incessantly collecting resentment
commoditizing the priceless
bankrupting unity and burning optimism to ashes
it is an assassin’s bullet shattering the windows to the soul
it is a death kiss
pernicious and ubiquitous
convinced of its infallibility and yet
the ego is a manifold deception
a blindfold masquerading an x-ray
high octane recklessness eviscerating progress
it is arrogance mimicking affirmation
lending mystery to the vacuous
self-centered gibberish
rippling into infinity
and stripping love of its gist
it is delusions of grandeur
parading naked through town square
and fooling the fool alone
