Arrogance does reign
hoisting human nature’s gain ---
notwithstanding, we are led toward downfall pain.
Beyond towering pride
that offers us jubilant ride---
nevertheless, there awaits fatal stride.
Admitting weakness blight
we seek God’s help for righteous plight---
now, we walk along divine light.
Freed from selfishness-guile
we are braced to walk along kindness’ mile---
negating heart that projects fake smile.
Exuding confident meekness so vibrant
our spirits glow, graciously radiant
nestled in sincere faith*, serenely triumphant.
*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

My dear fellow care givers and teachers of special kids,
May I share with you my dream --- so therapeutic and liberating...
only God's miraculous power can turn into reality.
By the grace of the Lord, let us imagine ourselves joining our kids
in their freedom-bound realm... blissful, blessed and braced-up
by bestowed love-benefits they can share with their optimum functionality.
This special avenue is inviting us and our children toward exuberant exploration, experience and exposure!!!
Welcome to my newly-paved avenue
Wondrously designed for special children
Wheeling themselves toward zestful freedom
Wanting to zoom around park without bars.
Wisdom leads learners through my avenue
Welcoming them to explore against fear
Wishing guardians with courage to let go
Wake-up toward functional advancement.
Worthy enjoyment marks my avenue
Wasting no time wandering around naught
“Whys???” receive answers warming hearts
Winning against doubts, fears by faith* in God.
It's with jubilant, triumphant and vibrant spirit that I am with you
in helping bring out the best from our children, surmounting
difficulties, disabilities, and despair --- by the grace of the Lord!!!
Dramatic Monologue with personification and alliteration along blank verse.
*1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Higher and bigger is my mind off worry
For grace braced sins' grave in its lorry
To shine the dullness of sinners glory
How magnificent is Thy mercy so hoary
Keeping my legs steadfast and withholding sorry
That laugh won't be forbidden in my story
The universe knows surely of this
Jesus name nullifies sins at ease
Someone stands by the night's door to open us a new day
Thy pretty face shines even in the dark
Each day has given to me Thy loyal gentle hand
Hear this from my heart; it's a sincere say
You will never let go of me, I know, even when times bark
I guess as I hope your mind sincerely understand
Help me to keep tight my poem's net
And stop having with Satan duet
The gaze of your eyes into my mind is awesome
I can't wait until it unfolds the heresy
So, I hold my tongue in a huge rushing ransom
To say all prayers randomly for advocacy
That you never detach my darling half
With you, I laugh and smile to face the change in life
Guide me always to giving keys to raise
My voice in time of amuck, your praise
I can't comprehend how much You love me
But I know You are all about my happiness
Somehow, the cloud and darkness summon me by decree
To follow them when I thought life has lost harkness
You stretches fort hands and gives comfort
Hiding all my pains; You are such a stalwart
What if You aren't in attendance, that you do sleep
Who knows, somethings must have eaten me to the deep
My strength is far away, no where else to fall
God please, hear my say, hear my voice call
Let us in happiness make some more memories
Coming through grace in adorable mysteries
Hiding not Your face from my ear
And Your voice away from me as a seer
For You are my eyes when I can't listen
Definitely, my ears when nothing is seen
Across the sky the Sun could see
The Moon approach, with nervous glee
A longtime coming, an empirical fact
Ninety-Nine years to be exact
The Sun stood ready, her corona ablaze
Moments away from a stellar phase
Not a crescent or harvest or even a full
She wondered about gravitational pull
Now almost upon her, the Moon had a smile
“Hello old friend, It’s been a while.
I’m just passing through” His face was blotching
“Let’s make it quick, the world is watching”
Halfway through his celestial arc
A slow approach as the sky went dark
He braced himself and pursed his lips
And just like that came the solar eclipse!

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” Psalm 127 of the King James Bible
God’s love props home where we belong
There we hear Mom’s sweet caring song
As kindness secures joy of heart
Braced upon Dad’s fortress-rampart.
Christ's peace reigns above dearest home
Under mutual respect dome
Exuding warm forgiveness-bliss
Ending conflicts of Brod and Sis.
The Saviour guards our home so well
Cheering souls inside prayer-cell
Soaring freely toward faith flight
While reaching-out, bearing hope’s light.
Our grace-anchored home is so blest
Where members share with all their best
Since the Lord builds relationship
Midst compassion-filled fellowship.

The faintness of flight overwhelms me
boxed in caged, corseted, in a cattle car of the air
pristine bells and whistles cajole the herd
as the breath is cycled and recycled through the
bellows of plasticine and metal
germs jumping from orifice to orifice
knees crushing bosoms braced for the portent
the potential
the promise
of the fall.
Faintness elicits only minor response
from the tenders who un-tenderly steer the crowd
small moans garner memories of the mallet falls..
but fail to unseat the kindness
so needed..sought
watery eyes wave
and the floor seems the only safety
and still the settlers stay settled in their complacency..
neither rising to gift an aged woman with their perch
or commenting as she hits the floor
ah the joys of twenty first century flight
in the belly of Virgin America.
Be My Guardian, My Fearless Guide
Lend Me An Ear for My Beckoning Cries
Prodigal Pilgrim Prevailing
Where Grace and Mercy Abide
Grace Sufficiently Abstracting Fears
Throughout The Changing Ambiance
Star Seed Parlance, A Gifted Chance
Yea, Bared Feet In the Valley Of Tears!
Landscapes Adorned With Banners Of Ostara
Cobbled Stoned Road, I Thread on the Beaten Path
Inking My Sorcery, Spilling My Heart
Nobility in Meek Humility
Guide Me Gently, Safely
For I am A Traveler Seeking Refuge
Refugee Granted Reprieve, On Bruised, Scabbed Knees
Braced My Joachim and Boaz
I Shall Fear No Insecurities In the Valley of Tears!
Redeemed By Dawning Hope, For I Often Stray Along the Way
Wandering, Wistfully, In Euphoric Bliss, Despair at Bay
Thirst Replenished By The Well of Words that Never Runs Dry
Flooded River Reviving The Roots Of The Ever Fertile Trees
Of The River's Bountiful Side
Bearing Fruits in Destined Time
Governed by The Council Mazzaroth Constellation
Sacred Matron and Paternal Provider Conceiving Salvation
Springing Forth, Under the Dog Star's Intent, Germination
Renewed By Dawn's Dew, With Due Care
Consciously Sincere, Noonday Clear
Consecrated Sweetly In the Valley of Tears.
TWILIGHT HAUNT
In the outskirt of the town ,
Beyond the dragon village,
Seperated by the green pond,
There a castle with two towers,
Wholesome in antiquity of age ,
Beyond the rotten four wheeled carriage.
Inhabited by bats ,owls and ospreys,
Landscaped of blooming prairies,
Non lived there,
Nor has been there,
Voices from there loudly heard,
Culinary smokes puffs overhead,
For the fear of the abstract,
Non dared to venture,
And courage ceased from all.
In the minds of three young men,
Darren ,Garren and Warren,
Courage found venturing hearts not withering,
Horses saddled by Darren and Warren,
Amulets with Garren,
They dared to venture,
And sped towards the castle .
It was a bit night,
In the castle,
Welcomed by onomatopoeic "tywii tywoo" of the owls and bats,
They braced their mights,
Advancing inwards the round table hall,
Began frenetic and apocalyptic shutting of doors and windows,
Glasses broken,metal scraps ontop another.
Came the wind like sirroco,
Thorny hands tossed them up and landed them ontop the roundntable,
Voices shattering round the table ,
Shadow apparitions gearing forward,
Amulets thrown at the gearing crowds,
Captured and locked inside boxes,
The castle baricaded with amulets,
The three young men left the castle,
Never to let open the boxes..
Be courageous midst uncertainty!
Trust in God constantly along His sovereignty
Believe Him Who is the Source of eternal life’s bounty
Rely on His might as your steadfast soul-salvation’s security...
Surely, He will vanquish evil by His omnipotent authority.
Be dauntless despite seemingly bleak future!
Have faith in the Saviour with His compassion’s gesture
He is the good Shepherd Who leads toward grace-pasture
Against cravings offered by vain carnality and materialistic culture...
Truly, He will put to end terror of totalitarianism's torture.
Be steadfast in serving the Lord God!
Abide in Him and in His Word for His approval’s nod
Use the Spirit’s sword as well as steward’s faithfulness-rod
Follow His leading, walking upon servitude paths He earnestly trod...
Forever, He will govern along cheerful gentleness-prod.
Be faithful with the Father’s assurance!
Claim His spiritual abundance and peace-appearance
Keep on praying fervently, braced along faith’s endurance
While testifying about Christ’s love and mercy’s forbearance...
Eternally, He will let us feast around His abundance of no severance.
Be compassionate as love and peace you share!
Be a blessing to others with concern and care
Declare the Gospel* of redemption for souls’ welfare
For them to enjoy grand heavenly wealth, divinely rare...
Soon, He will welcome us to be with Him, delighting in His holy stare.
*Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...
