Knoweth Poems

Fear the Faulty Hand

The Furies in all their rage hath not the vengeance in his soul 
Which boils like the maelstrom and spills upon the shore

The tide rising higher and higher 
til it fills the lowland of their bitter malcontent

If righteous indignation had the power heaven holds
The sea now wormwood should turn crimson in this night 

But darkness has this stake alone which knoweth not the Good
And darkness that comes with the noon blots out the strongest light

Til the sun surrenders all the good that comes upon the day
And nothing grows save inky stain where hatred rules the play

Tilted Laments

Is it my grief?
That i behold?
That i knoweth ongoing sorrow
Waterless doves?
None other, a city?
Just? As a city dweller?
Dwelling, in mired filth?
Unconquered mime, play!
At once! Be tainting…..
Project at them
Boredom? You wandered…..

clouds

as i looked up at the nice blue sky
the clouds so fluffy and white
looking soft like marshmallows
the clouds looked like  waves
lapping upon a beach
and as i thought about the sand
 and we are here walking upon  Gods land
a moment of tanquility
and calm 
just gazing above
looking at the majestic clouds from
afar
reminding us of who we are Amen. 

Father in heaven
how amazing are your
works 
how you wove each and every one of us together
your magesty made the earth the , skies the sea and the sand
the one who made us and forever hold us in your hands Amen

when you see the amazing and beautiful things God has made
know how beutiful we are in his sight. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

psalm139:14
 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well Amen

Who knoweth thoust toad
       than thoust legless load
be ye first to croak
       than thoust frog's now croak.
       Frog caught sight of croc
toad cast eyes on site
       got six of eight legs
ate frog's two, toad all
       Thoust frog apiece lept
thoust toad peace hadst kept
       lily pads, frog's faith
toads, bottomless fate.

Premium MemberPRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GRANTS TIMELY DELIVERANCE

May 28 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Esther 4-6

Key Verse – Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GRANTS TIMELY DELIVERANCE	

Praise be to God Who grants timely deliverance with His:
Victorious leadership
Valuable lessons
Virtuous liberty
Vital lifting-up 
Valiant love

Esther 5:6 Praise be to the Lord 
for granting our petitions asked:
Along His Word’s worth
About His work so wondrous
Amidst His wisdom, not worldly
Around His ways of worshipfulness
According to His will against waywardness

Esther 6:3 Praise be to the Saviour 
for upholding our integrity:
Delighting in our godly honour and dignity
Desiring our good honesty as well as devotion 
Directing our gracious hope along our dedication
Dealing with our guarded holiness and discernment
Defending us while granting us health from distress-despair. Amen!

Premium MemberLIGHT THAT PREVAILS

Countenance reveals heart filled with divine worth 
Reverberating news of faith’s birth
Triumphant midst truth delight
Smiting grievous plight
As life shows
Light* 
Of peace-glows
Toward freedom flight
Vanquishing selfishness blight.
Grateful for God's love of service-mirth,
Countenance reveals heart filled with divine worth.

*John 12:35 - Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

Premium MemberLight of the Soul

John 12:35-36 KJVAAE??
[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. [36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. 

Ephesians 5:8-9 KJVAAE??
[8] For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light; [9] (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 
Jesus,is the One sent to roll away the Stony hearts of mankind. Through the Holy Spirit to purify One into A child of the Living God, but world religion is out to stop this Spirit,for self praise and glory,that these teachings are in vain , within you my friend is where God's promised spirit longs to dwell. : )

Premium MemberIt's Our Love

1 John 4:8 (KJV) “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”



It’s our love that our God expects.
He gives blessings; not just objects.
Perfect gifts like love, hope and grace.
While holding us in His embrace.

Even though it might seem complex,
It’s our love that our God expects.
When He listens to our prayers,
There’s no doubt He really cares.

Let His love shine down in your soul.
Without Him, you’ll never be whole.
It’s our love that our God expects.
Beyond our dreams, His love effects.

Prayers go up, blessings come down.
Without Him, my spirit would drown.
Trust in Him who never rejects.
It’s our love that our God expects.

The Fear of Getting Old

Oh old weed 
Thy feet weathered 
Like that of a tree 

Like a child 
Always carried 
Thy beauty left behind 

Trembling feet 
What a painful joy 
Scattered teeth 

Grandchild taking thy as fun
Knoweth not that 
Old though shall become 

Twisted face 
But beauty glance,once was
Sun,laughing,cause you're at the end of the race 

If this is what it means 
To get old 
Then proudly I will tell the wind 
That it's not in my will!!

Premium MemberIn My Messes

I’m in awe of Him
The One who loves 
Even my most messy efforts
Those verses I write
That don’t really delight
Even me, they seem
So disorderly, so muddled
That I would like to take them apart
And start over with something new
Something improved 

But He loves even these cluttered
Tangled and confused
Inklings that survive my edits
And pour out my soul
My burdens and my thoughts
My needs and my praise

He loves even these,
My fumbles, my mixed-up dreams
He loves even these…
Because it is so very true, 
His love is alive, thriving, surviving
Every test of time, every trial.

His love survives
Even my messes, my troubles
His love survives…
Because His love is alive
Like a fire, alive
On the inside, He abides

I am so very thankful… He is mine!


Romans 8:26(KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Oh Man

OH MAN:

The livelihood of man is vainglorious,
And his final home after death is unknown.
Well, who is man that knoweth not himself,
The man who is condemned by his fellows,
That lack answers to mystical questions?
Who actually is man,
Whose body becomes conscious of nothing,
When he's dead and gone?
And his corpse only returns into soil,
After been fed on by worms and termites?

Oh man, you whose intelligence and dignity,
Can never be identified by your skeleton,
After you've passed away,
And your shadow becomes an invisible module,
Both day and night.
Why are you selling your life for doom,
By being enticed to this fading place,
Instead of a good eternal place for your soul?
Indeed, the story of man is futile,
Especially, when his life is pinned to paganism.
Peace....I'm out!

We speak of words as though they matter
cuts from broken glass that shatter
bleed into our lives through every portal.

And I will tell you this by way of movement
through this corridor whose only light
must come from deep within 
the origins of love:

“that no man knoweth what he is except
within the mind of those he loves.”

We speak of gifts and definitions,
lay upon our treasured meanings
all the prose that generations carry.

All that goes before and after 
all that lies between,
as though by reason of our being
they have birthed a cause.

There is a place that is a further shore 
than any death you might imagine.

All men must walk this place alone,
and know that by their leaving
all the air forever undisturbed
will be as air between the words we speak.

All love that none will ever know
forever leaves this world it's only hope.
