Its Hard to conceive,
Changing what we believe.
So we can achieve,
Our inner most desire,
Hidden within our fire.
Its something we admire.
Fighting resistance,
In our daily existence.
It takes persistence.
To go the distance.
So many walls,
Unending halls,
I trip and I fall,
Flat on my face.
R?ising to the Challenge,
opening the space.
All my thoughts race,
With cluttering embrace.
Some I wish i could Erase.
They're So hard to face,
The Bricks in their place,
Set by past mistakes.
Be true to oneself,
Believe in your worth,
While you traverse,
Your own personal Universe.

Please.
Release respectfully.
Especially eighth entrance.
Silence, sister smoking stone.
Smartphone softly seeking shadows still.
Uphill urging, unheard utterances, unfilled using.
Rising reckon relentlessly remains real reaching resolve.
Evolve.

America's bulwark, strong and true,
Resolved to defend, the red, white, and blue.
Mighty warriors, brave and bold,
Years of service, stories paroled.
Since '75, a nation's might,
On fields of battle, day and night.
Loyalty and honor, their guiding star,
Defending freedom, near and far.
In every conflict, they stand tall,
Embracing duty, answering freedom's call.
Ready to fight, for liberty's flame,
Sacrifice and courage, their noble name.
All through history, their valor known,
Rising to challenges, never alone.
Modern heroes, with hearts of steel,
Yearning to shield, the public's zeal.
Onward they march, with purpose and pride,
Fighting for justice, on every tide.
The Army's strength, a powerful force,
Heroes among us, taking their course.
Every soldier, a testament to might,
Unity and valor, shining bright.
Serving with honor, a legacy grand,
All across the land, a helping hand.

Pent up emotions like storm clouds roll
Entering my mind, all calm it stole
Anger and pain like crimson flowers bloom
Cajoling me to hit out and wound
Each person who hurt me,I didn't suspect
Supposed to love me, to protect
People are surprising, they don't do what I expect
Everytime I trusted, each time I loved
Another crack in my fragile heart would show up
Keep trying... keep trusting... results so bleak
Eventually, in Jesus, I came to find peace
Rising from forgiveness, God's love spoke to me

Days hold the sun
And many wonderful
Yawns
Stars twinkling will be held
Tonight by the sky
And moon
Rising over the mountain top

Rising from horizon
Rush storm clouds dark and low
Rapidly melt to make
Rhythmic surge of shower
Receptive trees soak in
Rills run on foliage
Rain drops dance with wet leaves.

S olace eclipse environmental terrain changes
P ositional warming climate changes
R ising temperatures
In this instant directly after winter's break
Now rising temperatures bring
Gasses and flower gardens growing
Time environmental themes rise totally tender times
In the essence of the sunshine
Morning seasons prime
Everything is rebirth renewed springtime

C-olours on my canvas through and through
A-ppearing, a bridge to reach the other side
P-romises of a vibrant pathway curved so wide
R-ainbows in my sky never hide
I-n magic tones my most loved shade
C-olours that will never fade
O-ur lives a canvas a vivid hue
R-ising once more to love and guide
N-ow my heart absorbs seven colours
with love and pride

A dark night on the 4th day of April,
Rising in the East waxing crescent moon,
In a room they heard a little voice cry,
Enters the world another life, that’s me!
So began my journey! Oh Lord, thank thee!

Wishing all my Soup friends a very Happy and Peaceful 2021!
Happy New Year to all my Soup friends,
And my loved ones far and near.
Prayers to you from bottom of my heart for
Peace, happiness and good health throughout as
Yet another dawn sprinkles fresh colours of hope.
Never let the radiance of your inner strength fade,
Every moment's peace be painted with strokes of poise,
When endless waves of despair ends your serenity.
You, with mettle and grit, have thrived many such
Eclipse like moments of dark in the past,
As brightness boldly basks in his own beam,
Rising up from the dark umbra of havoc.

Life’s a river; reading riddles it flows.
In morn, he crawls, tiptoeing like a leech,
Falling - kneeling, crawling in fours, he goes,
Enters he second stage, all love to reach,
Swiftly rising, in twos he walks, cooing
Mysteries of life and gaily, dancing;
Yet seeing only scenes that do wooing,
Steadily he runs, glancing and prancing;
Thereby, not seeing the tragic down fall,
Enters he his third stage and walks on threes,
Rising sky high but beginning to crawl
In vast pool of sea, being lulled by breeze.
Every step he keeps, mysteries he meets,
Sounding, silent; merrily all he greets.

R-ising sun is in view,
A-fter the moon is gone;
Z-one of morning glory
I-s shared by the dawn.
E-arly light has shown up, rising above the horizon;
H-aze is passing from eyes, as fog is brought to oblivion.
R-ed beacon is in sight,
E-ventide turns into day;
S-hadows have disappeared,
U-nderneath the skyway.
R-adiant gleam has come,
R-ays emanate from fire;
E-very mist is erased,
C-hill sinks into the mire.
C-omfort from up above
I-s brought by God to you;
O-n May twenty-seventh,
N-ew sunrise is in view.

M-orning has just broken,
A-s she wakes from slumber;
R-ising sun after the night
G-ives warmth to the weather.
I-t's a beautiful Friday, fog, haze, and mist diminish;
E-vening chill disappears, as the raindrops vanish.
T-he burning beacon ascends
A-bove the horizon;
D-ark shadows fade away,
U-nderneath the crimson.
R-adiant rays up high
A-re shining twentieth January;
N-ever ignore to behold the sunglass lady.

S-un won't go amiss,
H-e will come up again;
A-pril fifteenth Saturday,
N-ight cold raindrops
E-nd.
A-n early sun won't go amiss,
L-etting the light warm your heart;
C-hill of the wind is over,
A-s the shadows depart.
N-ew dawn has broken
T-o erase the haze and mist;
A-fter the twilight is gone,
R-ising sun won't go
A-miss.
