Oh! Sleep come claim me for thine own
My mind it wanders far and deep
To distant lands and shores unknown
Far beyond this castle keep
To fight for God on land and tide
To make the heathen understand
My kindred brethren at my side
A christian vow a sword in hand
Their foreign tongues and ritual chants
Oh! Lord they know not what they do
Forgive them Lord their ignorance
Their demi-gods they falsely woo
God grant me strength to bare the proof
From those that practice to deceive
Sins of the flesh and cloven hoof
Oh! What a tangled web they weave
'Tis only death and death alone
Will cleanse the soul and purge the mind
As rabid dogs tear flesh from bone
The will of God his axe they grind
The Devils work must ne'er be done
Cross not our path nor bar our way
The Lord our God thy will be done
The Judas tree will rock and sway
No equal nowhere on this earth
Cruel deeds to shame Marquis De Sade
Whilst crimson tides iinfuse the dirt
Our just and holy Lords crusade
For Hell i've seen and made my own
Grant me my Lord my endless sleep
What devils deeds and seeds we've sown
In Christs own name how he must weep
~He Lives Forever~
(Tree Of Life)
With
Jesus
We should have
Nothing to fear
With Lord can make it
All possible with Him
This life may be so short
But after this there's eternal life
No matter if world disagree with me
God says there's a "Heaven" and a "Hell" too
Jesus is the "Bridge" between the Father and us
Without Him there's no salvation here for any man
That's why Jesus came,died on the cross for all our sins
But lived again
Rose from the dead
He resurrected
He is Alive
Sits with Father
Wants us with Him.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
Exodus 14: 13 ( NIV )
~Author's Notes:
The "Tree of Life " is a poetry form or style created by Christina R. Jussaume.
Siddharta worked hard for the middle way to appear in silent meditation
Above him a lotus flower shone pure radiance from an indigo moon
Ebb and flow levitated cast in nothingness and droplets of wild motion
Antecedent prologues merged with moments of reflection and hindsight
Waters had risen and he sat cross legged on a fig leaf of sunken Atlantis
Ruins of the belligerent future chanted a story of unconditional forgiveness
The river swelled and delivered a choice between waterfalls and cascades
His ragged loincloth drenched in tears submerged in rapids of colourful Karma
His let go of his begging bowl for he seemed alone with himself and the World
It bobbed up and down before it joined an underworld of reclusive sorrow
Maybe rice grains would find a shallow paddy somewhere in kindness
And seed in the knowledge that the Universe holds hunger and passion
He found an ocean of love so powerful it brought him back to the Source
Of all beginnings and ends of surrender and suffering of Four Noble Truths
Empty Coke bottles plastic bags hindered Nirvana but sealed the path
And with his last worldly touch he freed an octopus onto his Eightfold Path
Praise honour and devotion resurfaced as a dolphin clinging on to a sign post
In the wilderness of destruction greed devious currents and harmony drowned
Circled around a polar bear lost on one last ice floe like a prophet of doom
The Buddha never lost hope though and offered his emaciated body to extinction

Gold Leaf
Gold leaf frescoes on a church wall are very lovely
Saints and angels on display at a pretty price
Just outside, mold takes over, clings to surfaces, settles
Poor people float inside like famished spirits
Transformed with tarnished shoes and souls
They see the glow of heaven at their heels
Marbled floors and altered states of grace
Collection baskets fly by, gobble up dollars
More gold leaf is needed
Walls must be fed
Outside mold clings and grows
Ivy also, on the ancient structure, very pretty
Gold leaf comes at a glowing cost
Lovely frescoes, angels and a cross
The priest promises to feed the congregation
Perhaps next season
Hunger must wait, we understand
More money is needed immediately
Gold leaf angels are more than mysteries
They are financial emergencies, for gold leaf frescoes
JESUS IS OUR LIVING HOPE
My God is a God of forgiveness
He is of unmerited grace
God has given us news of a new birth
When we fall down
He is around
With His loving arms picks us up
Jesus is our living hope
He embraces us
Through the one time resurrection
He's our promised hope
Jesus the one who knew no sin
Died on the cross for you and me
Jesus is our feeling of expectation
Our desire for a certain thing to happen
Jesus my aspiration, my wish, expectation, my ambition
My goal, my plan God design
To forever praise for all eternity
Jesus the one who knew no sin
Died on the cross for you and me
Jesus is our feeling of expectation
Our desire for a certain thing to happen
When we fall down
He is around
With His loving arms picks us up
Through the one time resurrection
He's our promised hope
He embraces us
Jesus is our living hope
He's our promised hope
He embraces us
Jesus is our living hope

Inspired by 1 Peter 1:3
Minerva’s child addressed Lycaons son;
“we owl and wolf are truly one”,
for air and earth guardians we be.
I come my brother from the trees,
to meet with you upon this hour,
for Gaia says she will empower
us for guarding wood and bower;
we are her chosen ones.
We’ll spread the word across water and land;
there’ll be a day of reckoning for man.
All flora and fauna must be prepared,
to defend themselves against man’s snares;
from the skies to earth, beneath,
of devastation we must bespeak,
and warn all life, watch other’s backs;
for spiritual consciousness, so many lack;
the time for action is now at hand.
Awaken all ye sleeping bands,
of field and forest, river and brook;
there’s no one to be overlooked.
Warn in time for them to hide,
including those within the tides.
Extinction bears a mournful cross;
every lost life is Gaia’s loss
and for her we now make a stand.
The trees agree to hide us all,
within the woods and forests shades;
and amid the caverns and caves.
Warn those who dwell to hide away.
from human vessels hold their sway;
to the deepest caverns beneath the sea,
swim there now...flee...flee!
Without us great Gaia ‘neath man’s hand will fall.
After forever, have you forgotten our love -
A love encircled with a turmoil ring?
For i’m lost in a fog, swirling heavily -
The child I carry inside of me.
After forever, she sorts out the shapes.
Some don’t quite fit into their holes,
And the bearded man behind the glasses,
Glances up from time to time.
After forever, an eternity baffled with uncertainty.
A ladder with rungs, weary and worn.
Wondering why each one was necessary,
I see the splinters in my hands and feet.
My own cross seems too thick to embrace.
I see each mirrored mistake, swimming in shame.
The man in the chair sizes me up.
After forever he spins in his chair - letting go.
After forever, you’d think that I’d notice.
I finally see his rosy eyes, his happiness.
Champagne in his incomparable hands:
“We all have this same initiation to heaven, my dear”
After forever, I’m reminded that there was so much more.
The tender feelings return to my child’s core.
Those innermost, make me laugh with laughter bubbling,
As I hug the one, no longer hidden, but in front of me.
After forever twisting, turning, dreaming —
I wake up to the warmth of you in my bed.
You’re so peaceful while sleeping.
My thoughts of you lofty and wistful.
After forever, you wake up,
Don glasses and a beard.
Seems you’ve been dreaming,
Of happily ever after too, my dear.
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth seen from up in space
Like an Agate marble swirling green
How much longer will that be the case
When the broad picture viewed be defaced
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
About an earth that now has many faults
People here are fighting death to brothers bring
When our leaders to us say what is false
But I believe in angels with them I waltz
"I have a dream, a song to sing"
When I cross that river stream
On my way over I'll turn and see
An earth that has healed been redeemed
As I cross that stream_into my everlasting dream
Quote from the song "I Have A Dream" by ABBA

God gives me more love
Than my heart can hold
He whispers joy to my soul
And hope to my heart
God answers my prayers
With assurance that he’s there
Awaiting my questions
Willing to provide answers
God gives me a new day
Sunshine lights my way
He fills me up with thanks
For all that He has given
God sent me His Son
To die on the cross
And then to rise again
The resurrection has come
God saved me from hell
Thanks to Him all is well
He gave me a new life
Without any worry or strife

There’s a train on the track
And it’s not coming back
It will plunge far below
Nowhere else it can go
Up ahead I can see
Where the bridge used to be
Where the bridge used to be
Is a vast cavity
*
When the train whistle blew
On the nine twenty two
There were squeals in the night
From the wheels locking tight
For the train driver knew
There was nought he could do
And the whole of the town
Heard the train crashing down
Heard the shrill whistle blow
From the wreck down below
Heard the screams so afeard
Of the dead that they cleared
For the train thundered on
Upon tracks that were gone
And a train without track
Simply ain’t coming back
*
But there’s one day a year
When the date brings me here
On Saint Valentine’s Day
When the train makes its way
’cross the bridge I can see
Where the bridge used to be
And the train that I see
Takes my girl home to me
But she won’t find me there
For I stepped into air
To be with Emily
Where the bridge used to be
Though on each other day
When the train falls away
I can hold Emily
And she can hold me
