Thank You, Lord, for drawing me near Your presence…
Indeed guarding me in my godliness-evidence
As You strengthen my faith thru Your power’s persistence
Midst carnality’s insistence and humanism’s preference.
Thank You, Lord, for instructing me thru Your counsel…
Indeed enlightening me in my confusion-struggle
As You illumine my understanding thru Your truth’s epistle
Midst doubt’s jingle and deceit’s bugle.
Thank You, Lord, for purifying me for Your glory…
Indeed sanctifying me in my guilt-worry
As You pardon my sinfulness thru Your compassion’s victory
Midst wickedness’ injury and evil’s misery.
*2Thessalonians 1:3 We are bound to thank God always...

No, no, no, no — We will not endure these tortures
Of the ferocious Human beings on us, not any more.
We, Mosquitoes, are the best amongst all creatures
Who remain not idle, accept whatsoever we procure.
The Humans, inhumanly, label us to be the basest
Of creatures and formulate devices to slaughter us.
But we counsel that you at first own evil soul test
And judge your core, inner animals, yourself thus.
You invent coils, sprays, electric tools to demolish
Our race but what regarding you own internal vice.
Try to make something that destroy your Devilish
Nature. You would better try to create that device.
From this night, We, the grand mosquitoes revolt,
We declare, never will we drink the impure blood
Rather would drink the fresh juices from a sprout.
We will not touch blood even if it flows like flood.

A death I have carried since youth—
not the grave’s hush,
but the slow unfastening
of all that was false in me.
Each dawn, a small surrender:
the tongue bridled,
the anger banked,
the shadowed thought laid bare
before the Father of Lights.
I have walked with this inward dying
as one walks beside a stern companion,
learning its counsel—
that faith without its burial
is faith without breath.
For the world woos with crowns
that fade like grass in scorching wind,
but the soul grows only
where it lets go.
So I have lived with death
as with a discipline—
its quiet blade
paring away the double mind,
till what remains can stand upright
and call itself whole.
If this, then, was my long death,
blessed be the One
who taught me to lose myself,
that I might finally live.
A new year has rounded the corner,
with grave news hard on its heels.
A father's friend at kinship's dawn,
a clan's family, by life's sudden dusk.
In so many respects my father's twin,
he could look in a mirror and see Chuck.
To say 'brother' seems not strong enough,
not nearly a sufficing title for the man.
Growing up, he was simply an uncle,
another sarcastic voice in the choir.
Shipmate, soundboard, confidant, kin;
fellow gamer, writer, musical connoisseur.
Buddy, mentor, verbal sparring partner;
hilarious, caring, intelligent, smart-ass.
Always a phone call or a flight away,
each of these things, to each of us or to all.
Thirty years his junior -
yet he asked my advice on,
and I got to be present for,
his first, and sadly only, tattoo.
He got to meet my wife last year,
for which I am beyond thankful.
He sought her counsel for his next tattoo,
which will now be another of hers.
An easy man to like,
with an easy smile and easier laugh,
now a hard man to miss -
but with good stories, of a greater man.
And for those who knew him;
be grateful for having known the dead,
and hold to hope that 'bye' -
is only for now.

In my adolescence, a time so free,
Fun and daring were my decree,
Feelings strong, enchantment profound,
Charmed by love's presence, spellbound.
With peers, we laughed and played,
Unconcerned about right or wrong,
In our minds, fantasies laid,
Youthful dreams, we danced along.
My youthful years, a thrilling ride,
Desires allure, passions untamed,
Indulgence took its toll, on my pride,
Playing with fire, we were inflamed.
Foolish gambles, we dared to take,
Chasing pleasure, reaching for the sun,
Yet like bubbles, our world would break,
Shameful acts, regrets, what we've done.
Now awake from that foolish phase,
Too much fun can be a lure,
An instrument of Satan's ways,
Tainting hearts, impure allure.
For we sought happiness in mirth,
Ignoring counsel from the wise,
Now we bear the pain, the dearth,
Of those who scorned the elders' advice.
