They put on uniforms of courage, at every dawn.no matter, the weather,
Out, in great spiri they come out each dawn!
For this act is for honor of Messiah you,whom His children and His lands,
These young, are the real heroes and the fully sworn!
And to their country, the tiny size of the state of New Jersey.
Under seige, for centuries,by gigantic nations for many centuries!
To the Messiah~soldiers are duly obliged in body and soul sworn.
At eighteen~why, it seems like they were barely born!
They realize that another sunset, they may never see!
Prayers at dawn are said, beneath their flag, in couraged, companies!
To me, all are magnificent, shining, human thunder!
To keep all religions in their country from the ugly specter of going under!
For the Messiah’s return, they know, is most certain!
Whilst evil nations, murder the innocent in that venerable Holy Nation.
They will not allow a mass murder of adults and children ever again!
Wild killers, are most certainly, in no way…no way..their human kin!
Nor are they ours, the unethical beasts, from a murderous zoo,
The masked killers, march and scream like banshees in your country, too!
The enemies’ace card is to murder, to play world victims and to lie.
The few prisoners left, in dark tunnels, yes and starving,‘neath Messiah’s
sunny blue sky.
Whilst masked madmen, supported by the march
with hateful din, fills the streets.
Their hatred for goodness ….is their why!
Feckless news channels lie, immoral flakes!
As innocent lives they assist in the take.
And countries’ borders are no more.
With Torah pages, walked over and shredded on the blood-soaked rugs
on the vanished family home floor.
Even we, in countries, free, no, we do not
even know,
The enemy is at the gate, prepaing a big, horredous
End of our life show!
Burning our countries’ flags, with evil disgusting glee!
Death, awaits in our future! …..into a bloody history!
As for me, I will not surrender, nor to an immoral, killing
world, agree!
The Farmer and his Corn
Snug and warm beneath the earth
The field awaits the coming birth
It holds the richness that they need
Provides the anchor for the seed
The farmer by his hand did sow
Soon he knows his seed will grow
When length of day and rain is right
And sun above shines warm and bright
The rain has come the soil is moist
New life burst forth, it has no choice
With a sudden wondrous surge
A field of green does emerge
The farmer feels it in the air
He comes to see his field so fair
Quietly, just after dawn
His brand new field of corn is born
Quickly grow those humble shoots
Drawing goodness through their roots
All hot and hazy summer long
The shoots thrust upward, straight and strong
Golden now as flaxen hair
New seeds upon them they do bear
The farmer picks an ear to eat
To check then that, his corn is sweet
The farmer comes to field one morn
Another with him that day drawn
No face had he and yet was grim
The corn all knew that it was him
A shrouded hood, his face to hide
He follows just two steps behind
The mice whose nests the stalks had borne
Know soon there will be no more corn
Not daring now to take a peep
They know for them they’ve come to reap
Both the men they carried scythes
They know they’ve come to end their lives
The farmer lifts the implement
To cut them down is his intent
A shadow fell, with mighty stroke
The farmers gone, with man in cloak.
Sensing the shadow of your heat,
your warmth upon my skin,
thump of a heart that still beats,
reminding me that agony awaits within.
The ghost of your arms surround,
tears fall in endless streams,
for you are nowhere to be found,
I can only hold you in my dreams.
Endless days,
sleepless I lay.
Terrified to shut my eyes,
yet yearning to see your face,
for the images are just lies,
you're no longer a part of this time and space.
Your voice echoes down the hall,
my mind tormenting me more,
for if I look my heart will fall,
you're not here, so I ignore.
I'm slowly unraveling at the seams,
for I can only hold you in my dreams.
It was only a few days
On their barren soil
Through a doorway he went
So many lives now spoiled
An explosive device
Plastic in design
Could never be detected
Now a life resigns
The regimental medic
Rushes to his aid
To stem his internal bleeding
Through his eyes he fades
His lifeless soul lies lonely
As he is gently stretchered away
Where he will be flown back home
To where the angels play
In honoured ceremony
As he is carried to his carriage
On the tarmac awaits
His fiance, without marriage
In the chapel of rest
She stands in a tear laden pose
Her tribute to her lost one
With him goes a Rose
For tomorrow she will awake
A new day in her life
As she remembers her love
Who would have made her his wife

Like a Child
Like a child you tenderly gather me into the soft folds of the nourishing feast of forgiveness. A shivering lamb living in the distraught, existing in my sparse pastures where only weeds of gorse grow. Where the famine of regret sees me toddle off again into realms of the bleak – kingdoms of hungry drought deaf to your shout of hope. Like a shepherd find me there wallowing in my foolishness. Speak your gentle invitation to me to lay my head upon your broad shoulders in strong caresses open to every cherished lamb returned to your deeply lived Eden aglow with the grace of starlit blessings luminescent with peace in night’s ever evolving, unfinished psalms, wilderness’ fabled poems. In your arms love awaits its turn to glow for this child from a starry perch and capture eternal delight in loveliness’ caress. And like a lamb child, feasting in the technicolor of mercy, robe my scattered heart with your ever-present seamless robe when prophecy shears old wool leaving a new nakedness where wisdom lingers in soft bleating dawns and the promise of your compassion soothes in the cool of the twilight. Like a child I reach to touch the first evening star climbing into your generous lap, the eternal shepherd, to sigh in the corralled contented compassion for this rogue lamb. Amen!

lone lamb braces for whirlwinds ~
love sends guiding stars

Allow me but a moment, I wish to reflect
how your love for me has been only perfect
your grace is warm, your care is my concern
you've stolen my heart, your love I do yearn
If only for a moment, my love for you to take
if this happiness is a dream, that I not awake
you radiate an inner beauty, a blinding light
love I never knew, my heart tells me is right
If only for a moment, let me hold you close
my love awaits, to give you a double dose
let me be someone for you, too, to always hold
a man in whom to find comfort, a heart of gold
If only a moment, let me be a part of your life
a shared happiness, a union as man and wife
physical, mental, spiritual, till the end of time
a love to grow and become eternally sublime
In a single moment, you were created from me
once a hidden part of my body, G-d now let you be
my love is really a part of you, a way for you to see
only by sharing this love, can your happiness be free
Let us now enter this gate of love, never to return
our love to live a life of holiness, heaven to earn
a way for us to be complete, to fulfill life's mission
sharing love with one another, our only submission
Alone in your world of solitude, you do not wait for anyone to care
your mind and thoughts are satisfying, and with you do they share
wisdom and knowledge they are your light, what was once far is now brought near
seeking answers for all of your questions, to them guided by your inner ear
Meditating and illuminating, this world is but a testing ground for your soul
you've been reincarnated, given another chance, this world is really your parole
keep in mind with your time here, many above are watching what you do
your life ceasing and again being brought, to a place which no one has a clue
While judging your life, to the hairsbreadth of truth, your actions they will surely
measure
for sins committed will you be punished, but for your good awaits you unforeseen
pleasure
what is it all for, you question, the wisdom of this world is it really part of life's goal
you don't know, but heaven wishes it so, maximizing the rewards to be earned by
your soul
While reading my words and contemplating their meaning, maybe asking how do I
know
what audacity I must have to write all this, thinking I just made up words for this to
flow
then know, if you follow the truth your soul will not lie, truth is only whispered to the
discerning ear
failing to achieve reward for your soul while still here, something really deserving of
your fear
After all has been said, do not regret, it pays to reevaluate your direction and take
note
if you think that after this life you'll be pushing up daisies, why bother trying to stay
afloat
plan and purpose have we all been put here, expectations for us to try and achieve
desire for us to pass this test, to overcome our challenges and just start to believe
Love’s Ebb and Tide
by Odin Roark
One never picks a tide’s movement
Forces outside one’s mere wishes
Answer to only that which stays
Beneath the surface of our eyes
Allowing this habit of nature
To reign free of man’s control
Even so
We oft times try to emulate nature
But as a species capable of choice
We chance to choose rightly
And wrongly
When the ocean’s force appears
Its shoreline unknown
The energy’s roil considers
To lay back
Or plunge ahead
So too proceeds most relationship decisions
To risk another rocky shore
Or skirt the obstructions
Find smooth grounding
So often guised as safe haven
Yet
Jungle laden danger
Often lurks once ashore
To know of harmony
Emotion often seeks waves fully spent
Where energy’s current willingly gives pause
Affording lapping repose as a cradling comfort
While knowing full well
Keeping control is only nature’s to have
To give
Yet love
Like a weathered pier
Knows of such challenges
Fully aware
Erosion is inevitable
Even as truth’s layered protection
Awaits its timed revelation
Underpinnings’ deeply buried security
Patiently abides its day to reveal
Life’s unification
Only known by ebb’s gentility
Tide’s warrior strength
And the mutual respect
Shared with shore’s embrace
Such a oneness few experience
Even fewer allow the tide its freedom
To be all its genderless wisdom needs
Accepting no ownership
Lease
Or confinement
Such is volition’s character
Devotion’s simple honesty
An open heart’s willingness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stay here love, stay here...
lay beside me on the bed
Hold my weary body near,
fold your arm beneath my head
Guide me now, guide me...
as the evening takes the light
Hide my eyes that I won't see
what awaits me in the night
Sing to me... please sing
one more trembling tenor song
so I cannot hear a thing
but the voice I've loved so long
Hear me now, hear me...
you must know, my cherished wife
though I pay this debt to Death,
it's to you I owe this life
Gently now, gently...
as my breath begins to slow,
whisper of your love for me
one last time... then let me go
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainy deluge
Wetness clouds;
Moody day
~~~~~~~~~
Sitting still
Thoughts subside;
Just being
~~~~~~~~~
Stray stopover
Fluffy white snow;
Harsh elements
~~~~~~~~~
Death configures
Body at rest;
Time cut short
~~~~~~~~~
Snowy cascade
Fluffy feel;
Freezing here
~~~~~~~~~
Old-timers
Strolling hand-in-hand;
Lifetime of love
~~~~~~~~~
Brisk snowfall
Wild swirls here;
White splashes
~~~~~~~~~
Wet departure
Goodbye kiss;
Sad glimpses
~~~~~~~~~
Cold winds blow
Misty wild;
Wintry beauty
~~~~~~~~~
Old hands clutch
Strolling together;
Fond memories
~~~~~~~~~~
Howling wind
Facial caress;
Abrupt moment
~~~~~~~~~
Wind howling
Passing my way;
Stillness loiters
~~~~~~~~~~
Angry hands
White walls echo;
Primal angst
~~~~~~~~~
Workday jigsaw
Frustration swells;
Angry climax
~~~~~~~~~
Hand-in-hand
Evening interlude;
Bliss sublime
~~~~~~~~~
Steep ascent
Happy surprise;
Wonder awaits
~~~~~~~~~~
Chinese tea
Yunnan glimpses;
Eight years since
~~~~~~~~~
Fragrant bite
Chocolate ganache cake;
Ecstasy sums
~~~~~~~~~
Silent stillness
Quiet contemplation;
Devotional
~~~~~~~~~
Joy wears well
Facial contours;
Happy eyes light
~~~~~~~~~
My darling sleeps
Speaks softly;
Pillow caress
~~~~~~~~~
Moments brief
Crystalline tears;
Grief saturates
~~~~~~~~~
