Premium Member Enter His Rest

Have answered the call?
Jesus is calling, enter His Rest
The Son of God took your fall
He paid the price so that you be the best
I love Him because He loved me first
Now He is my shield against evil beast

But have answered His call?
Jesus paid the price for your sins
So that you can stand after the fall
His blood has thrown your sins in the bin
Jesus has made you to reign as a Priest
You are with Him now Kith and kin
 
Jesus Christ is still calling you
Come to Him if you are carrying a burden
He will take you into His banqueting hall
He will present you as the bride in Eden
Jesus is worthy because He took your fall

FAITH IN GOD WHO IS THE ROSE OF SHARON 
AND LILY OF THE VALLEYS	

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who loves our soul
And He draws us toward His heart along heavenly goal
Indeed driving our faith to do our best with wellness-whole
Constantly feeding us through His shepherding role.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who reigns surely
And He leads us toward His fellowship graciously
Indeed enclosing our faith with His peace securely
Constantly bringing us to His restoration daily.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who does what’s great
And He invites us toward His banqueting house against worldly fate
Indeed healing our faith from unbelief's sickness-state
Constantly upholding us by His partnership in His ministry's calendar-date.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who does care
And He ushers us toward His provisions that we can also share
Indeed strengthening our faith with His approval stare
Constantly guarding us from unbelief’s scare.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who is protective
And He moves us toward His ministry to become effective
Indeed reinforcing our faith with His Scriptures’ directive
Constantly guiding us by His holiness against carnality that’s seductive.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who demands the best
And He requires us toward fulfilling duties with our zest
Indeed building our faith for service so we can be earnestly honest
Constantly helping us to overcome trial and test.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who is wonderful
And He seals us toward His ownership permanently blissful
Indeed nurturing our faith to be productively fruitful
Constantly showing us His glory through His deeds, always beautiful.

Premium Member Ur

Not even the shadow of its massive brick walls
Stands sentinel over the place where Ur once stood;
Gone the sound of trumpets in the banqueting halls,
Long decayed the temples framed in fragrant woods.

Its proud people, among the first of our race
To gather together to build a city
Held this earth itself a sacred place
Where they prayed to their gods for succor and pity.

By night the moon, by day the sun
Gods both, smiled down upon their fertile land.
The festivals of seasons passed, one by one
Atonements offered, exploits planned.

Now Enlil alone, god of the Winds
Holds court amid acres of broken stones.
As Ur's glory fades. its memory dims,
As scholars pick over the last of its bones.

Premium Member A Passing Prayer

A Passing Prayer

Unneeded invites for Thanksgiving Day,
Drafts packed table orbs family buffet,
All arranged for this harmonious time,
Relations grace this exalted pastime.

Year after year, the newborns multiply,
Added tables, chairs, and appended rooms,
Through Heaven's wings, beloved souls now fly,
Shifts to calm talks, those gone and baby booms.

Unique for me, banqueting my household,
My siblings too, host their own family,
Further apart, we feast separately,
Heir's hearts warm of those passed, tears swell unfold.

My children phones, traditions express joy,
The Home food tray cools, o'er my corduroy.

A Lily Standing On the Pathway Between March and April

The sun peeks his face out from the passing wind 
still chilly and cold, and in this air the tree branches 
stretch their arms to hold the sun as if sails on the deep and gray sky

The sun that is out of reach of a hand 
may be a hope; no, it ought to be a hope

One night I saw a wayfarer, becoming a moonbeam,
going toward April stepping on the footmarks March 
has left behind 

Although he has gone through so many hills and high waters 
with a knapsack on his back that was full with the countless 
sentiments he put in it for pity’s sake, the sack was emptied;
  
for the lapse of time makes things wear and tear
his garment was worn to rags, and when the wind 
passes through it penetrates the garment to chill the bone 

The deep anxiety he is unable to shake off, and therefore, 
reflected on the running water murmuring through the field 
as ripples of moonbeam, which is not from the fleeting of time 
or his sufferings while he was walking among the foes, but because 
he is sorry for and worries about friends he has to leave behind 

The friends, not many in number shared his happiness 
at the time of banqueting, surrounding the table though 
plain and simple, abundance in God; 

at the time counting the falling stars lying on a stone pillow 
by the gap between rocks. The friends, not in damnation but 
in endurance and warmhearted understanding, talked about better day to come while burning the passions in the bone fire on a day when they were wet and shivering in early spring drizzle

For the days he was with his friends were too short,
it caused him an embarrassment in counting the days,
yet they were unforgettable moments of joyous and happy experiences

As he walked through the field with friends he talked about tomorrow
standing on the hill top side by side, he asked them to pray for him, 
sitting on the sands by the water he sighed for he has to leave 
the friends, the sweet and bitter memories behind

Nonetheless, he cannot just stand by a roadside as an emotionless stone, 
he crosses the hill under the shade of a waning moon, and when 
the humble hearted teary-eyed wanderer blooms as a lily on the other side of 
the hill in dawning, the sunray fall on the lily on the dew
as hope to those who remember him, as happiness to the friends 
he left behind, as the covenant of the Lord to all who trust in him

The Renaissance

Tell all the worlds about the treasures found
Renaissance trace spellbound in the ancient form,
Tender and haunting; an era of time curves around
Past the present to a future beset with tech charm.

Historical pages cling romantically to our eyes,
Each epoch defines a sparkling gem of surprise,
Their fluttered rebirth is like stars changing sizes
Release by time flown from the damp demise.

That dip their limbs to bow unto gloss modernity
Like the artist and sculpture, they paint a world.
Of aesthetic peculiarities and lofty discovery,
Longing to find a place soaring free in the soul.

A vault of citadels says much; then said no more
Deep within, ancient wonders rise from the ashes
Talented beauty weaves from centuries we adore, 
The time and place asleep in a waste wilderness.

The plague of colors survives in medieval triumph,
England, a literary monument of architect literature.
Finds the noble heart to express cherished breath
Creating the etiquette claimed by French culture.
 
Such dept alone could not be paid by metamorphism 
Humanism fading in a mist has its place in society, 
Heightened with extreme lust and erotic mannerism,
Italy removes the conscious veil from bizarre reality.

Ceiling significant through music strings serenade,
Renaissance dazed; allusion lay dreaming half awake
The inquisition of fate went on pilgrimage made,
German sentence commute through the classical gate.
 
The Netherlands explore and navigate all the distances
Byzantine adherence goes beyond impregnable walls,
depict faces of the Tsars persist in the military hypothesis,
And labyrinths take refuge in Russian banqueting halls.

The richest measured proportion of distilled beverage,
Vodka values more than all the dull limited senses,
Spanish religion repository of the myths and rage
Set the path where new western experience commences.
 
Portugal selfie, the pinnacle piece that thirsts for commerce
Lisbon flourished paints and medicines with Flemish.
Poland concept and conflict gain border land dominance,
Spice trade rises high and makes indiscreet allusion flourish.

We travel far beyond renaissance to the greatest monument,
When the transition of culture from the middle age evolved
Mesmerized art is a rediscovery of an enduring cultural movement,
The monarch of the Roman Empire renaissance man inspired.
