When you lose your voice,
I hope you’ll still speak with your smile
When you can’t make a choice
I hope you’ll just sit for a while
When you feel the worst struggles,
I hope you can hear the song in your soul,

Singing in vibrant colors,
	Hues of light, blessings of gold
		Stirring the light of sweet hope

When you feel uncertain,
I hope you’re certain you’re loved,
When you feel imperfect,
I hope you know a perfect God,
When you doubt your own feelings,
I hope you feel like love is worthwhile…

Dancing like scarlet leaves,
	Painted by His brush, His finger
		Silencing every fear, all disbelief

When you lose your inspiration,
I hope you’ll pray for a touch of grace,
When you don’t understand what is,
I hope you’ll discover the meaning of peace,
When you misplace your affections,
I hope He will guide you in love’s direction…

Silencing all the darkest fears,
	Restoring your light to its place,
		Whispering hope into your heart

When you can’t find the meaning,
I hope you will discover life’s purpose,
When it all seems to be beyond comprehension,
I hope you reach out to take His hand,
When life gives you confusion and worry,
I hope you find the strength you need to overcome…

Surviving the losses, the lessons,
	Though wounded, growing toward completion,
		Where His plan – you begin to understand!

I hope He challenges you to see love,
When someone hurts your heart, when in pain,
I hope He assures you that He is enough,
When everywhere you look, you see inadequate,
I hope He lights the way so you know His love,
And, when you can’t see – I hope you’ll still believe!

Never give up – God’s light is shining bright,
So you can find the way back from the regret,
Back from the torment – leaving it all in the past,
Knowing that His love is like a gentle breath, 
Kissing away every doubt, reassuring your spirit
That whatever comes, wherever you go…

With God beside you, you’ll know the joy of a kindness
Far more beautiful, more alive than anything in life –
Let His love be the guide, to help you decide…
Throughout life, He’ll provide…
Simply pray, and praise – so He knows you’re thankful
For the love, His only Son, sent to save You
From a cold, dark world… sent to save You from despair,
Sent to save You from a life without…
Meaning, seeing, freedom that comes from simply believing!


It's Not Over Until It's Over

it's not over until it's over until God has His say
and it's not what it looks like until God has His way

when you look at a Pastor of anyone who's in service to the Lord God
you have no idea what they've gone through nor the things that weigh on their hearts
for it's not easy to be a true disciple and teacher of the Holy Word
it's not a walk in the park no matter what you have heard

King David was a true disciple, an anointed gift from God
he was a special type of man who possessed a contrite heart
he was given the huge responsibility of leadership over a nation
the people demanded much from him and had high expectations
a catastrophe occurred one day when all the women and children were taken
David's men were so grievously upset that they were physically shaken
they then became angry and bitter over what had gone down
they held David responsible and wanted to stone him into the ground
yet David himself lost two wives and he was also dismayed and discouraged
but as a true disciple of Christ he knew in God to be encouraged

David had a true calling, he was aware of his divine mission
he was appointed by the Lord God to take on the Great Commission
for whenever God has called on you 
there's not much that you can do
for you can't run and you can't hide from what of you God desires
and He'll equip you for the task by giving you all you'll need and require
and be you a Pastor, a disciple or a deacon and you feel you're at the end of your rope
encourage yourself in the promises of God and hold on to its hope

life may sometimes beat you up and knock you all about
but it's not over until it's over until God calls the final out
encourage yourself in the Lord and embrace His authority
you might be down to your last strike and He'll give you the victory
and even if the final bell has rung
it ain't over until God says its done
and even when you're down to your last shot
it ain't over until God says it's not
and even if it's fourth and long yet you can see the goal
trust in God to make the completion for He's in total control

it's not over until it's over not even when the fat lady starts to sing
as the Lord Our God has the last word when it comes to everything
the buzzer might have sounded, the clock has run out and you're down to the final play
but it's not over until it's over as long as God has something to say

Eloquent Gems Part 2

ELOQUENT GEMS 

Part 2

But it’s show time, word genius making a fuss within ya brain hemispheres,
I’m rear in all the ages, pages outdating your solar systems burning spheres,
I leave ya mind scared with the truth, scared of what you will lose,
These writings are like hip hop and blues, blowing your mental fuse, 
Your used, abused by your ignorance, cant advance from ya current mind stance,
With plans upon this planet, over running ruins, within ya delusions, ya say plans?
You ran away from your divine land, residing instead blind following lies,
Firmly as earning spiritual advice, nice and nicely played out well,
As you fell I tell a real story of glory of the real history with fury,
Furious but word notorious, worry about these things, they are nearly near,
Yeah bearing witness to those that stumble and don’t get up, find ya wings,
Hear the voices singing songs, lethal sequels seeking ears to hear,
Fear the mighty word warrior, steer your vessel, bless you from the summit, right up there,
But I don’t care, I steer a mind behind the vessel, as I wrestle good and evil,
Always climbing levels…. Depart devils, be gone please, ya don’t stand a chance,
One glance of these words puts you in a trance of stagnant brain operation, 
Change up ya station, 
Excellent, your seeds growing,
Into a plant with enhanced reception,
Tuning in, dismantle the stress, 
Confess your ruining ya perception,
In the life of Mass Deception!!!
The completion is to reach them, all of them,
Mindfully seen through intervened letters to them,
Them? Who’s them? Remnants of the mighty men of old?
The Chosen few… come on I don’t know….
So I can’t just follow in blind faith,
Distasteful foul ways of the fools,
Who are schooled within disgraceful enslaved schools,
Check ya schedule, Like King Saul you will fall,
Slayed by your own sword and missed out on the reward,
Plagued by an evil spirit, devils mindset absorbed,
Records show a man that didn’t grow so jumped overboard,
Absorb these words, sort what distorts and delete,
Don’t retreat and be defeated in this heated war of good and evil,
Find your tranquil place and be seated, meet the inner self,
Where the real help resides, inside your house, your temple,
Disassemble and reassemble yourself, resemble principles possible, 
Irreversible when awake!!!

Premium Member Touching An Audience Thoughts On Creating

As Artists Touching an Audience - Thoughts on Creating


Beyond the full experiencing and aims of the creative process in all genres, there are the results, the “made” productions, the works, ready to be sent 
out there
from the self 
to touch other people in some (any) way of giving, 

the created work
presented

to affect the anyone in those moments 
of being-in-audience 
 to an artwork (In the perceiving and receiving of it) 
to any degree.

As writers, musicians, actors, artists, we are gifted through 
the creative process: through 
our Felt involvement 
from onset to culmination of the created works

And also when we, too, pause outside artworks,
as with all perceptions, 
to examine and receive, to be touched in some way: 
sensually, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, creatively…

Nearly always, then, we make a  judgement

about whether we Like what we perceive
 (in all of life as well) in an artist’s composition — 
Here
Is the work we have met with for a time 
and let reach us…

No matter how briefly, the created work 
has thus gone from being some “thing” 
To being an Experience.

This accounts, I think, for why artists of all genres 
feel more than an ownership of “products” about the works done. 
 Like a god-parent might, we 
artists invest our whole being into 
shaping works 
to the full completion of their inspiration.  
And, then, (as a person does for a fostered one or offspring)
 we have a bond…with a desire to follow the path and reception
of our works In the world beyond us.

Our created works poise apart from us…
very like living things…

Lost works are grieved …Others
Also often pass long periods asleep, away 
from any receiving audience, even from us, the creators…
Perhaps going forgotten;
Some envisioned works crafted into reality 
may return to a collection of once unfulfilled dreams,
 which do startle if they eventually wander
 out from dark corners and curled pages.

They may have stayed in sleep…to 
serendipitously rise for notice in a rebirth

Like garden perennials  signaled to stand 
in Spring surprise…in a new season of a gifting presentation.

I Was Alone

I was alone
                                           Lost in this world
                            Trying to find just a glimmer of light
                              I was blinded by misery’s darkness,
                                  Drenched by shame and fright
 
                                                     I was alone
                                               Seeking shelter 
                                                          Hoping
                                      That one day I might find.
                                       A place for my heart to call home, 
                                    Somewhere that was truly mine

                                                 I was alone
                                          Seeking nourishment,
                                 Longing to feed my hungry soul
                                     On a quest for completion, 
                                  To make my flesh feel whole

                                               I was alone 
                                           seeking refuge
                                         A place of tranquility 
                                    then I met my heart’s joy
                                     The missing part of me

                             He took me and clothed me 
                                    in his finest garments
                                          silks, satins
                            And his robe of the pure white
                         He gave me dominion over his heart
                                    And accepted as his wife.

                                              I was alone
                                              And seeking
                            But never know that I was searching
                                     Until I met this man
                       Who showed me that I was worthy to be loved
                              And held my heart in his hands.

                                                    Now, 
                                   I am no longer searching
                              For that something that is true
                           I have found all that I’ve sought after
                                     And I found it in you.

Premium Member Wonder's Darkness

Wonder’s Darkness
             by Odin Roark

He knew wonder well
It could cancel fear
And bestow courage
A nexus for survival

A predawn beginning
His solo-climb of the face
Thought crazy by doubters
Had started swift and easy
The results of plans
Rehearsals
Confidence

The wall’s darkness was his own
Anchoring piton after piton
Securing each meter of ascension by feel
With unharnessed confidence of mind

For this was a climb of defiance
Knowing few if any
Might or would
Ever understand his exhilaration
His unique love of climbing-chalk and sweat
Carabineers and rope
Anchors and ascenders
Tenuous connections to life
All married to his inner eclipse 

Yet at the halfway point…

Exhaustion appeared
Adrenalin waned 
His pendulum traverse had missed
Time seemed to stop
Flesh and rock collided 
Bringing cold panic 
Seizing breath to hold
Suspending threatened fate

Even as the skill of a spider
Had kept him safely vertical until now
Death’s harassment had not been part of the plan

His back rested against cold granite
The lead taste of blood from his nose
Conflicted the balsam and cedar fragrance
Gusting up from the valley floor
Fifteen hundred feet below
His straight down reality

Minutes passed…

Awe and respect
Life’s often ignored necessitude
Hung together with him
Against the sheared mountain 
Some predicted his dreaded finale 

With tenacity as partner
Calmness merged with a blanket of sunrise warmth
The crisis became the past now
This test of tests faced completion

His mind eased back to a climber’s trust
Careful feeling about
Delivered firm grips
Precise movement
Renewed determination
Moving him deftly toward the descent team’s cheers
Waiting on distant topside

Resisting aid
He reached the summit
And gathering minutes of needed rest
Even amidst the accolades and glee
He prepared for the hard part
The trek down the backside

This blind climber knew
Like those with eyes to see
Exhaustion can make even a simple return route
More dangerous than the climb

With the descent team
Assisting his tired body
The crude trail carved
For bushwhacking
Brought danger often missed
Until it was too late
Loose scree
Roots of trees
Ruts and rocks

With sightless vision
He maneuvered the precarious path
His certain smile becoming contagious
Moving shaking heads of doubters once
To embrace a blind climber’s wonder
As their own

Premium Member Holy Spirit Fire - 2

Holy Spirit, dancing fire…
Quiet my heart, blaze through my life
Igniting flames of hope, flames of joy
Flames of exhilaration, flames of grace
Flames of inspiration to fill up my soul
With the amazing wonder that is Your
Spark glowing through my life, burning
Paths of expectations, promises, faith
Born of a Holy Fire, dancing a waltz
Of sacred love raining down from higher
Above where God sits on His throne

Holy Spirit, painting my entire world…
With breathless rays of pleasure,
Rising up from the joy of knowing
God is inside my soul, restoring my dreams
Reassuring my desires, exciting a fire
Penetrating yearnings for more of the love
That is more glorious than I can describe
More beautiful and wise than any kindness
It is a love that is alive, like the rays of
A Son who knows our hearts, minds and souls
Provides us with forgiveness for our sins
Shows us the way to belief that is filled with
Second chances, renewal and grace that prays
For spiritual completion, God’s redemption

Holy Spirit, fire of my heart…
Pour out Your joy through my entire life
Make me into someone who understands
Someone who listens to all Your wisdom
With comprehension who knows Your counsel
Is better than any guidance I will ever have
Your suggestions are alive with passion
And overflowing with boundless grace
Peace that knows no darkness or dread
Kindness that is more brilliant and sensitive
Than the sparkling stardust delights
Of a gentle, starry night filled with moonlight

Holy Spirit, fervor of my soul…
Whisper Your compassion through my thoughts
Fill me up with kindheartedness, gentleness
Peace that surpasses all understanding
A melody that is like a psalm from the scriptures
Prudent and patient, promising a Savior
Who brings deliverance from the shadows
Of sorrow, pain and disappointment
All the things that are stalked through the darkness
Where dread and despair destroy the light
Shining bright from the heart of One
Who knows our hearts and our thoughts, our all
Loves us beyond our wildest imaginings
With a love that is sure, saving, sincere
Love that has no conditions, no fears
Love that is the answer to every prayer
Love that is from a spirit who comes to us
Lives in us, brightening our lives, breathing
His Holy Spirit fire into our souls!

Premium Member Destined Silence

                  Prior to my  final Masters Exam, I spent five months 
                  in Uncle's place on study leave and once chanced to meet
                              my Mr. Perfect and was devastated .
                             No way , my ardent ardour compelled me 
                                            to fall in love :
                                  He was my First Love.

                        Seeds of love were sown in two souls
                                            to sprout .
                     Tender sapling of emotive urge started to grow.
                             Dormant  yearnings formed the stem.
                      Roots of passion pierced the core of heart
                                          in deep dolour.
                     Romance rippled on shivered nascent leaves.
                                              
                      I never interacted direct to Mr.Perfect
                          even both standing face to face.
                     Yet our silent world was magnificent.
                 Mere exchanges of glance was sufficient to tie 
                                 ethereal emotional bond.

               Two soft buds in two minds shone in amorous glow.
                          Dreamy desires danced delight
                            in wobbling dilemma
                 thrashing on different shores through swelling urge.
            Two surrendered minds being chained in social stigma
             are sundered, as none had courage to defy status -quo.
        
                     In the last eve of my leave completion ,
                     we happened to be in a solitary park.     
             Eagerly I was waiting with full expectation.
                       He hurried to approach close to me.
                                  
               I looked straight to his eyes even without blink,
          with a feeling that he has overpowered his hesitance.
                     Eternal Time momentary took pause.
                             We lost worldly link.
             But he couldn't utter a single syllable.
                    Our love sank in Destined Silence .
                            I had to be back on next day.
                              ,

Nine Lives Removed From Royal Dignity

Nine lives removed from royal dignity

Five days after 
getting acquainted with darling cats
pampered like queens courtesy 
thee eldest daughter 
and her partner acquired as kittens
reminiscence occurred regarding
one particular four footed feline
my late mother doted over.

Lion eyes hide predatory wage
sharp retractable sharp claw
never did the late Sage 
exhibit talon nor ferocious jaw
even when getting his nails clipped,
said gentle cat infrequently 
sunk daggers into soft human skin,
but upon completion 
of aforementioned onerous task, 
he voicelessly, soundlessly, passively, 
manly, joyfully did withdraw.

Aye attest tubby reincarnated
(as well mine eldest daughter's beau)
from one male Russian Blue
species Felis silvestris catus
named Morris if that gives 
a handy dandy clue,
and during my fuzzy past
hence, asthma “Cats Cradle” 
segued and Atlas 
shrugged off kitten hood
fur hum lee established
type cats as (tin pan) alley cat,
a rather litter boxed gritty debut

t'wood become (later in life) tabby
quick as greased lightning
snatching in the air,
when tender vittles flew,
technically got fired (acquiring
appropriate nicknames) 
as fame (like a bushy cat tail) grew
viz perfect back up crooner 
for “Cat Stevens”, 
or lead singer for 
the "Stray Cats" oddly

coupled, featured, and
incorporated with the guru
Horton Hears A Hoo,
yes him Elephant resembling
a humongous mandrake
from the, "Animals"
whose body heat could
easily melt an igloo,
whereby Inuits accepted charity from
Korean philanthropists named Joo
(founders of Palaces for Pachyderms)

these lumbering creatures possessed
an exemplary photographic memory
(rivaling that of the amazing
deceased idiot savant
Kim Peek), he knew
practically every detail
incorporating page number, punctuation 
plus citing word for word
never truncating, omitting, 
nor jumbling... any lines,
and could track missing link,

when felines shared common ancestor
but,...such petty files 
would most likely boar
and go way off course, and hence
will shy away being extempore
favoring a deliberate fore
ray padding around basically ignore
ring any rhyme or reason
suddenly ending this persiflage,
and thence to thee bon jour,
cuz yours truly off
in a huff to bang a lore.
