Fears and tears and fantasy
Things we feel but cannot see
Things we hope to someday do
Being in love with you-know-who
At everything we are the best
If you’re a man, then there must be sex
People we haven’t seen in years
In some we face our wildest fears
Some may be in black and white
They can come in shades of day or night
Some we are glad to wake up from
Others we wish were never done
Deep desires; insecurities
Our dreams are made up of all of these
But this you know and you know for sure
By falling asleep you will make some more

~Beautiful Sunrise~
( Whitney Double )
Sunrise shines
Appears again
Spreads around
Cover mountains
Sea, above
Clouds softly pass
A band of seagulls fly high
The air's cool
And the sun's warm
Delightful
Wonderful spring
Warms my heart
Songbirds sings
His love shines upon my face.

Weary, drained spent, shattered,
Deep inside, many of us are spattered & battered.
Oddled once joyous hearts now beat all tattered,
Happiness to the heart is what always mattered.
Delayed, late, belated, in life arrives somber,
Dark, dull, drab, dingy, macomber,
Dismal, solemn, melancholy, lugubrious,
These recur within and indigenous.
I decree to me and myself
To
Unleash from within
Unleash from within me the power of choice,
To take a chance on change and rejoice.
Unleash from within the power to give,
and forget and forgive.
Unleash from within the power of trust,
Work on the “t” or the relationship will rust.
Unleash from within the power to listen,
But not lose your voice or happy face that glistens.
Unleash from within the belief,
That something wonderful will happen today and will be a big relief.
Unleash the power not to criticize yourself,
And see for yourself what happens when you appreciate yourself.
Unleash from within the power to
Love
Learn
Laugh
.
Unleash from within,
Unleash from within……………
The beginning is the hardest but is life’s secret cotter pin………..
He comes to shake the foundations of the earth
the work of every hand of man to prove
to punish the unjust and expose sin
and those who hate righteousness he will remove
He has sent the call into all existing lands
that men should seek peace and it pursue
to separate the wheat and tare
and expose the hidden things men do
To close every mouth that speaks a lie
uncover every thought of hatred done
he has freely offered you a life of truth
but will not spare to scourge when they come
For the stories told in time are now fixed
and what is written in its scroll now firmly set
he will open them for his kings to judge
and those who have found mercy their sins forget
Those appointed to be Kings will take their station
they will rule with Christ for a thousand years
subject to the rule of God is every nation
no war will there exist or the inclement of fears
For though the promise seems long in coming
all the signs are made visable by light
raise your eyes oh Israel your God comes judging
and will reward those who have walked in right
Be reconciled in heart to seek the truth
that who you are you come to understand
You are called to love truth and your brother
until the peace of God lives in the land
The trumpets blast call the armies to their war
the winged ones ride the winds of wrath to charge
and poured out is the fury of his chalice
the cup of violence is deep and large
For all governments of man are chains to slavery
their aim to lift themselves and you to rule
but Christ's intent is to lift you from this knavery
that you might not become the fires fuel
So make your peace and seek his mercy now
for when this time arrives will be too late
though undeserved the offer of forgiveness
the price will be too high if delay you wait

Marshmallow dreams, puffy white clouds
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Get back to reality for crying out loud
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Peace on the planet, first time in history
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Reason you're acting like this is a mystery
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
People loving people no matter their race
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Got a big smirk on this time weathered face
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Republicans and Democrats agreeing on stuff
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Totally blown away sitting here in the buff
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Now hang on a minute, there must be a way
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Though men have failed forever and a day
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Call me a dreamer, there's hope in my heart
Whatcha bin smokin' boy
Let's all set our sights on a shiny new start
Start smokin' peace and joy!

You know its so short lived but do we not think or realise
Who gives it a second thought, it's gone before your eyes
It sounds cynical your born, you live, you die, end of story
One frowns but guess it's part of the cycle of life’s journey
Though I would still question what about the in-between
What’s ones intension we ask our self’s what dose it mean
You know I was once told that time, it will wait for no man
Go with the flow, whinge and whine, or do the best you can
With obstacles to tackle, herldes to jump ,bridges to cross
At times there’s miracles, theirs hope and too, love and loss
What a drag, if not enjoyed, it's endured, where is the rapture
A zigzag, getting annoyed or bored, moments we try to capture
There's no straight path in this life, it's like one side or the other
Makes you laugh or cry at times it's rife , so much too discover
But gone so fast, like your picture taken then faded into obscurity
A touch of a button, a flash, I guess it's just apart of life's journey
WITH THIS I WAS TRYING TO DELVE IN TO THE MEANING OF LIFE LIE SORT OF THING

~Through All~
( Rhyming Couplet )
Without God, I don't know where for sure now I'd be
He sends me so many blessings that's clear to see
He gives His unconditional love today and forever
He grants me His forgiveness, He'll abandon me never
No matter what I do He always sees me through all
There are some days when it's so hard to stand tall
But with Jesus by my side through everything I can go
Because His love and grace helps me more each day grow
With God nothing is really impossible at all, this with certainty I do know
He gives me love, hope peace and strength, and in my heart His love just flow
He helps me see better when things go bad and I'm feeling down and blue
I am so happy and thankful that I know Jesus as my Lord and Saviour too.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

I was left on a island called lonely and despair.
Utter loneliness consumed my whole being.
No one could understand my state. I lived this
way for years and years.Until one day I met a
handsome stranger that understood me very well.
" Sir how do you know about such loneliness"?
" Mam I too live on the island of lonliness and
despair". "
" Where have you been all my life"?
"I come from a wealthy family and I took the
private jet and crashed here. I don't know
how long I've been here. I just remembered
who I was recently".
"Do you think your family is looking for you?
" They probally are but I don't know how long
I've been stranded here. What is today's date"?
"Feb 8, 2016".
" Oh my I left Dec 23, 2012. WoW! It's nearly four
years. How did you get here?
"I was born here. My family and the
rest of the village got ill. I don't understand why
I survived".
"That is such a heartbreaking story.I feel your pain.
But know this, from this day on you will never be
alone again".
I started to cry as if a dam had broken.
"Come lean on my shoulder while you cry.You are the
most beautiful creature I have ever seen.I came from
a place with money and I was still lonely. All of that
vanished the moment I laid eyes on you".As the tears
stopped and I looked in his has handsome face I
knew I would never be alone again.Our hearts and soul
were connected and our love will go on from this life to
the next. Love washed over me on that day and I was
complete.
As a youngster, I looked like a boy…there was nothing girly to be seen
I could run topless without comment until the age of about fifteen.
I could climb the highest tree, jump the highest fence
I even dislocated the shoulder of the man teaching me self defense…
I could run forever eating the wind - but was never really fast
That didn’t matter in any event, I was the one that none could out last.
I could dive and swim from the heights to the depths
I could do so much and never lose my breath.
Then I turned eleven and things started on a decline
I fell out of a tree head first… and it was definitely not by design.
I hit the ground, but remember it not, apart from all the screaming
From thirty foot I took my dive because of too much leaning
They all knew I was the only one able to climb that tree
A mother asked me to save a kite that had cost about 50p
I remember thinking that branch was thin and would break
I was right but for the mother, this risk I did take…
It caught me out and that was when I learnt there was one thing I could not do,
And that was fly like a bird, or float like a butterfly, believe me, I really tried too.
My neck was broken when I landed there and hit the ground,
I remember my toe was the only thing hurting when I came round…
But then a terrible thing happened… and I turned into a girl
My tomboy escapades were gone - it happened in a whirl
I hung on as long as I could but things began to change
One thing was sure at this time… I was never mistaken for a boy again.

Lenina, I cannot deny I was attracted to you.
Knowing you has brought me elation.
You appeared to have feelings for me that were true.
However, this relationship must have a cessation.
I do not understand the ways of this civilization.
Your kind of love has filled me with consternation.
What I used to know is what I have missed.
Our kind of love is different on the reservation.
How could you fall in love with a non-conformist?
For these reasons, please cross me off your list.
I cannot accept these promiscuous ways.
I was hoping for you to love only me.
What strange bedfellows we keep nowadays.
Life in this London appears as an anomaly.
From all of these irregularities, I must flee.
Based on the novel “Brave New World” by the late Aldous Huxley
