Action And Reaction
Isaac Newton is said to have stated,
'For every action,
or force in nature,
there is an equal and opposite reaction.'
And the proof in his pudding is...
If I exert myself
in search of who knows what I want to be,
it also brings to bear
an equal and opposite influence on me.
As, by doing so,
my own headwind I create,
which inhibits my

The Peace of Isaac
"Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” Genesis 26:19-20
Do you hear argument’s doorbell?
Jealousy causes a groundswell
like a sink hole.
Antagonists are raising hell
over an underground bombshell
greed's sordid goal.
Contentious opinions foretell
what sounds

Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac once sat in the shade,
When an apple fell, so he swayed,
He thought, "What a sight,
This force must be right,"
And thus gravity’s laws were portrayed.

Isaac Newton
There was once a great scientist named Newton,
apple fell on the head of famed Briton.
Lest the spark of gravity
escapes from brain’s cavity,
all the time he put his thinking hat on.

Hope
Ultimately, it's a matter of seasons,
waiting for dawn.
Through the skylight,
tiny as it is,
my hope resides.
It's a glimpse of the hope I eagerly yearn to meet from my room.
I've longed to find belonging,
pondered and wondered,
if I was meant to have no solace.
The doors are shut,
and I'm enclosed in the

Nura
I decided to keep watch on you from walls,
I moved my shoes away to give you a breath,
Nevertheless, have I ever moved miles away,
I kept a moderate distance to watch every
step of you,
Look all of the tears I have never wept,
When the distance stretched with loose
Communications.
I lost the ears of the taste

A Letter To Sir Isaac Newton
Living without a father wasn’t a good fate
This in the future could bring about immense hate
But this did not stop your talent and purpose
Although you were a premature baby
This would not stop your mental development
Your curiosity became a spark to go beyond the norm
Your best friend was the truth
You needed to know the reality

Jehovah El Roi
I
I am good seed, by Grace
Seed of Abraham
The new testament says
One seed, many fruit in the nations (ethnoi)
But is my fruit good
By worldly terms, Yes
By biblical standards, No
- And does it hurt
Sometines, for no reason, I awake
Sleepless ... Until my wife awakes, too -
Pulls me closer
Then tells me later:
I listen to your breathing

The Living God
I am serving the living God
A God like no other
The Creator of the universe
Omnipresent

The beginning and the end
God who says what He means
And means what He says
I am serving the living God
A God who never lies
A God that loves unconditionally
A covenant keeping God
The same yesterday
Today and forever
I am serving

Life's Shadow
Life's shadow
leaved for centuries
before Christ and Anno Domini.
maneuvering again and again
and its delighted in that.
That it's irreversible.
Life's shadow
moving on waters
on mountains
on fire
and in valleys.
free and easy
making sure every micro
second is felt.
Life's shadow
moving confidently,
in light,
where everyone Sees it
moving quietly
in dark,
where no one sees it.
And it's still maneuvering
for centuries where we might
Be no
