within ‘Tristan’s Pollinator Garden,'
which constitutes minute arboretum

yours truly plus eldest and youngest sister
each of us communicated solemn words
to recall admirable, inimitable,
and unfathomable father,
whose passing (evident previous six months,
whereby his declining physical health)
unfettered, presaged, and indicated imminent death
now his invisible spirit
dwells amidst the spiritual abodes
encompassing three offspring,
he and the late Harriet Harris begat,
whose lives analogous
to quasi orphaned grown children
all adults with independent lives of their own.
We (progeny of our father and mother,
the latter deceased
approximately fifteen and a half years)

Come spring two thousand twenty one
a hearty shrub or tree,

When storm clouds hover above your head, and all you want is to stay in bed, just lift your eyes up to the divine, and bow your knees in prayer, align.
For in these moments of despair, God’s love and grace will always be there. He won’t let you down, my dear, He’ll wipe away each falling tear.
You are precious, a gem so rare, a soul that’s meant to soar and share. So wear your crown, hold your head high, let His light guide you through the sky.
In times of darkness, when all seems lost, remember, you’re never alone, at any cost. For God’s embrace is always near, to calm your heart, to ease your fear.
So when the world feels heavy and gray, and you’re unsure of the right way, just lift your voice, let your prayers resound, for in His love, true solace is found.
You are cherished, a masterpiece divine, a reflection of His love, so fine. So wear your crown, embrace your worth, for in His eyes, you’re heaven’s birth.
THERE are brilliant pebbles on fire
within the expansive skies
And there are stones as bright
upon the ground
How both I have walked:
my eyes toward the skies
my eyes toward my feet
How to celebrate the love
of my own personality
i often sing to myself
That I comfort the essence
of my Soul
for every bit belongs to me
as it does with you.
How my house as child was not
a haven of security
but the fragrance of my mother
was there before night
Teenage years: The key in my pocket,
heavy with responsibility
to unlock the door to an uncertain reality
Through the haze of cigarette smoke
I'd navigate, trying not to choke
On the bitterness that hung in the air
A reminder of a life lived in despair
Yet in those moments of solitude
I found solace in my own fortitude
A resilience born from adversity
A strength forged in the flames of uncertainty
For though my childhood was marred
By the demons that haunted and scarred
I learned to find beauty in the cracks
To see the light shining through the tracks
So as I walk these paths of mine
With stars above and stones that shine
I carry with me the lessons learned
From a childhood where I yearned
For love, for safety, for peace of mind
Yet in the absence, I learned to find
The strength within to stand tall
And embrace the journey, flaws and all.

Only God knows who we truly are from our inward to outward parts. God knows what's truly in our hearts, and He knows our deepest desires. We can spend a lifetime with someone and not know who they truly are.
Only God knows and only God's love can reach the depth of despair, and He will always be there. He knows our pain and the terribles that life often brings. There's no greater love than His. His love is so incomprehensible, and His love is plentiful.
No one can love you like God does, His love flows from heaven above. He knows every part of our soul, and His love never grows cold.
God's love is eternal and never does it change, from the beginning and with Him there's no ending. His love will take what's broken, He will do the mending, and He will make you whole again. He is closer than any friend. Trust and know He will be with you until the very end.
He called His disciples from average men
Not many of the elite followed after Him
He healed the poor and ate with the sinner
He wasn’t particular about who God sent Him
He received every heart who accepted Him
He loved us all without conditions
His love is always with us
Always giving
Chorus:
This man named Jesus
He went to the cross
Died for His children
So they could live fully
This man named Jesus
He went to the cross
Died for His children
So they could live forever
He came down to earth from heaven above
Willing to give us all pure, sweet love
He gave generously to heal the sick and disturbed
Made a way for sinners to be born again
He received every heart who accepted Him
He loved us all without conditions
His love is always with us
Always giving
Chorus:
This man named Jesus
He went to the cross
Died for His children
So they could live fully
This man named Jesus
He went to the cross
Died for His children
So they could live forever
He came to give us the second chance
To have the faith that by grace
We could be saved
Live forever
With Him
Jesus
I have written this a day early. When the spirit speaks, we should listen.
Has Been Nine Months
(with love to Barbara)
By Franklin Price
10/18/2022
Has been nine months since God took you
To His home up in the sky
I'll always love you and miss you
No one has to wonder why
Over fifty years together
As a husband and a wife
Wish it could have been forever
There never was a better life
Praise God for all He gave us
As we traveled on our way
Our needs were always satisfied
And they are unto this day
Many wants were also given
In the excess of those needs
We always believed in Jesus
And the wonders of His deeds
I know you're looking down on me
From your place that's up above
You're helping me to move along
By still sending me your love
I miss you every minute
Every hour of the day
You were my lover, and my soul mate
There's nothing more for me to say
This is just an interruption
God has always been our guide
He will know when I am ready
And will take me to your side
Where we will spend eternity
In each others arms, with love
Until then, I am well assured,
That you are watching from above
Shine Bright O' Golden Pen
To Empower & Inspire The Masses Of Men,
Burn Ever Luminous & Blaze As The Sun
And Let Thy Ballpoint Scintillate Like The Chosen One,
Fill Thy Longhand With Prestine Manuscripts
To Great Endeavors That Shall Sail Afar Like Ocean Ships,
Guide Thee To Depths Unknown
When Many Are Lost & Have Lost All Hope,
Illuminate Thy Ink Scrolls For All Of Time
With Knowledge & Wisdom & Light Divine,
Oscillate The Great Duality That Always Was
And Let It Transcend Through The Sword That Descends From Above,
Infuse Thee With Essence As An Emerald Stone
So I Shall Articulate These Jasmine & Fiery Poems
you are the light of the world
you are the light of my heart
from your love
I shall never depart
nothing we have said
nothing we have done
can change your love
your kingdom will come
no matter what people say
no matter what people do
Dear Lord we belong to you
the light of the world
the light of our heart
from your love
we shall never part. Amen
Matthew 5:14-16New International Version (NIV)
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Isaiah 60:1
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
romans 8 v 38
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Christmas
______________________________
The weather is getting colder,
as fireplaces roar
and Christmas is getting closer
it's knocking on the door.
Families all decorating,
their houses and a tree
getting ready for the holiday
and other family they will see.
Meals being planned ahead,
making sure there is enough
make sure you get all you need
and a turkey you can stuff.
We think about the ones not here,
and the ones there overseas
and those who have no home at all
makes you thankful for times like these.
You wish everyone could have the same,
to share in Christmas cheer
but I know how some people hurt
when it comes this time of year.
I may not be able to do that much,
but I help people when I can
treat every day like Christmas
to care and lend a hand.
It doesn't require any money,
to smile and make a persons day
to let them see, they too are loved
on this lonely Christmas Holiday.
Tis the season to be joyful,
celebrating the lord above
So I wish all of you Merry Christmas
and a big virtual hug.
There's an obscurity on the threads of darkness
dare I peer beneath the starless shroud of midnight's veil
as I walk through the misty breath that beclouds my vision
in hopes it leads me to the temple of your soul? My dearest
my comfort is there, yet I feel a quivering in the flames
beneath these gusts that prevail through inaudible voices falling
winded in the distance where these shadows walk between us
I feel discernment in memories as these bony fingers reach out
my heart shudders beneath the orchestra of night as it beckons
a samba from the angel of death as it spans its wings before me
I shiver breathless in its cold as the flames grow dimmer
yet this time love, I fear for you as dissolution ascends above me
Muddled mind ventures through vivid vales of scepticism.
Slowly subsiding to my knees under the shadow of moonlight,
crows gathers as helpless hands clench decomposing soil.
Sapless lips gasp for oxygen, shivering in illusory mistiness.
Death's harbinger stands before me, an uninvited hooded eclipse,
holding me prisoner, strangling my soul with naked tree tendrils.
In silent steps he walks towards me, I have no will left to fight.
He has no mercy, content on me kissing the mouth of the earth.
Words hidden behind metaphors, surface upon shores of regret,
flashbacks are like daggers, reminders of unspoken, unwritten words.
My love mourn for me not, as I fall into the graveyards of poets,
in death we still connect, as my words will always live through you.
