It Started With A Blank Canvas
Blank canvas of my mind was open
from very childhood,
since my consciousness was ready to draw and paint.
I started to use that blank canvas
time to time as I wished.
My dreams and musings ,
my desires and yearnings,
my fulfilment and achievement ,
all colourful happenstances showed spectacular outcome !
While failure , despondency
or if crushed by betrayal or malice,
or sorrowful events etcetera
exhibited ugly sketches,
even couldn’t be deleted.
Those put deep black scars to get permanently pasted.
The wasted space was beyond to recover.
Tried to erase to make my canvas
exhibiting masterpiece but failed.
Ultimate my canvas produced
a collage of juxtaposition.
September 20 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Hosea 11-14
Key Verse – Hosea 11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR BEING IN OUR MIDST
Praise be to God for being in our midst:
Teaching us His testimonies we should trust
Testing us midst terrible turbulent times
Taking us toward triumphant tasks
Training us through tough trials
Telling us His tenacious truths
Hosea 12:6 Praise be to the Lord
for enabling us to turn unto Him:
Rejoicing along His redemption’s regard
Repenting from rebelliousness’ reign
Resting from reproaches’ retorts
Refreshed in His restoration
Rejuvenated by His revival
Hosea 13:4 Praise be to the Saviour for
asserting that He is our Lord Who:
Calls us by His compassion for consecration
Cleanses us with His chastity toward courage
Cares for us along His comfort and cheerfulness
Commands us with His cause for our commitment
Counsels us to charge and convict us against complacency
Hosea 14:9 Praise be to the Almighty
for leading us to His right ways from:
Destruction’s direction by His declaration
Denial’s despondency along His definite defense
Despair’s distress thru His daring dedicated devotion
Defiant disobedience toward delightful discipleship drive
Discouragement’s damage through His determined deliverance
Devil’s darkness and deceitful detours upon His decisive domination. Amen!

Series of scattered suffused sufferings
sprouting from shocks, stress and strain
appearing off and on in agitated brain
sometimes igniting anger
sometimes to lament or repent.
leading to diffused despondency.
reflexing complexity of perplexed mind.
All disarranged disorganised
rather jumbled up creating junk.
How to assemble! ! Totally bewildered, confused.
Juxtaposition in jugglery.
Meaningless thoughts in hazard haphazard manner
get crumpled, entangled, coiled turning surreal
fumbling voice of unimplemented wishes.
Pointless feelings suffocating.
Unfulfilled ambitions grumbling in vain.
Trying to get rid of nuisances.
Peculiar unthinkable happenstances
coming in dreams in streams.
drifting on garage clearance
through nasty nightmare.
May be Freudian slip of subconscious mind
encompassed by smothered sensual feelings.
All fuels are exhausted enfeebling my venture..
In last phase, it's only to ruminate over long past
No energy left to plan for too short future.
Most ridiculous even to think of past achievements,
an those have turned obsolete.
Failure - Success , Love - Betrayal, Happiness - Miseries
are jumbled swinging in juxtaposition.
Faithful Guardian
Just when I think I can’t go on
one more minute or one day
Lord you’re there to encourage me
as my loving protege.
With grace and love you lift me out
of my despondency,
and when I’ve lost direction,
you light the way for me.
When burdens seem to weigh me down
I see the signs you’re there,
to give me faith and hope again
to overcome despair.
The miracles I see each day
are there to enable me
to see that life is a precious thing
despite adversity.
With hope and love you show me Lord
that life is worth the pain,
There’s much to lose if we give up,
but with life, much more to gain.
Lord, can it be now?
I stand before You weary, my spirit weathered and my flesh frail. Can You anoint me while strength yet lingers in my bones? Bless me in this season of vigour, that I may partake of the harvest my hands have sown — to taste the sweet fruit of endurance.
I am fatigued beyond utterance. Tired of weariness itself. Tired of waiting in the antechamber of hope. Tired of tears that carve silent rivers down my face. Tired of rehearsing my exhaustion to myself, as though repetition could dull its edge.
I am tired of importuning others, of becoming a burden in their presence. Tired of derision, of laughter wielded as a weapon against my dignity. Tired of pain that has taken residence in my marrow. Tired of the unrelenting yoke of stress and the shadow of despondency. Tired of seeking aid and finding echoes.
Even my thoughts are spent. My mind, once a sanctuary, has become a battlefield. My entire being — body, soul, and spirit — is exhausted and can bear no more.
So I ask You now, Lord: Can You do it now?
You declared that those who seek shall find; that to those who knock, the door shall be opened; that those who ask shall receive. You asked, what father, when his son requests bread, would place a stone in his hand?
My Saviour, my Father, do it now.
Not for grandeur, not for vanity — but for my family, for those who have sheltered me in their love. Do it for my people, the ones who have wept beside me.
Absolve my transgressions, cleanse me with mercy, and purge the stains of my sins. Wipe away my tears with Your hand, and let sorrow be supplanted by solace.
Lord, let this be the moment. Let dawn break upon my night.
Do it now.
When Mr negativity comes and you open the door,
you find his friends along with him occupying your mind.
Mr. Negative, Mr.Despair, Mr Despondency all are thieves
They steal happiness and peace and make you a pauper,
You feel like dying
Always make lady Hope your best friend
she will bring her friends Positivity and Peace along with her
Create an armour in your mind which Mr negative cannot penetrate
You will lead a blissful life.
Lady hope is around us always, easy to spot
Morning Sun brings rays of hope throughout the day
Moon and stars scatters silver streams of hope at night
Ever flowing breeze conveys God's presence and love, caressess us with hope
Rains pour clean water, drenches earth with hope
Ever flowing rivers of hope nourish surrounds
Umpteen seeds within each fruits, pollens in each flower scatter hope everywhere
Forest flourish on their own, breathing out hope every second
Plants emerge from tiled, concrete grounds, their smile says be hopeful
When you look around and you will spot lady Hope everywhere
She conveys the message - Be hopeful! God is there and takes cares.
Inspired by the hope, the grace
His sensitive light, His way
Healing, helping, heartening
Guiding my thoughts, my mind
Lifting my heart and silencing my doubt
Giving my soul a reason to shout
Invited by the faith, the belief
His wisdom and strength
The wonder of such a sure peace
Reassurance that He fulfills
All of my needs, my desires, my wants
Curing my ills and securing my thoughts
Inspired by the light, the reflection
His song – the psalm that kisses
Away all the sorrows, the depression
Freeing the soul from its darkness
Silencing the uncertainty with the gift
Salvation that is surely God’s will
Invited by the truth, the devotion
His candor, His generosity and genuine
Love – the feeling that decides
Who is a light – who is kind – who is wise
Because love is the reason for the cross
Where Jesus became our sacrifice
Inspired by the One who promised me
To always love, to always bring real peace
To always love – to always bring a dream
To always love – to always leave me faith
To believe when everything appears bleak
To listen to His voice and rejoice…
Because His love will soon reveal to me
The wonder of a hope for eternity
The wonder of a love that is timeless
The wonder of a faith - infinity
The wonder of a Savior who is living
Forever alive – in a home called heaven!
Invited to believe and receive
Grace that assures my spirit of redemption
Deliverance from darkness and sin
Salvation from the despondency of shame
Escape from eternity without the One
Who makes a way where no way was known…
Forever – I will be free
Because His love lives inside of me
Psalms 1:3 (KJV) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Take it all away —
These thoughts of suicide today
Tonight, I’m having them big time, it’s a terrible crime
It’s not at all sublime…maybe, I can wait some time…
Remember me
When I was young and foolish
Remember me
When I was in the waters of anguish
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
I pray you save me from desparity
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
I am in dismay in the sea of calamity
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
Happiness is just a teardrop away from reaching out to hold you, to embrace you
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
Sadness will no longer be your tune of loneliness and you’ll no longer be blue
Get out of here, hatred
Don’t give me any trace of dread
Daily defeated by depression and anxiety, it won’t set me free
It won’t set me free from despondency…I will conquer it all away, you’ll see…
Remember me
When I was young and foolish
Remember me
When I was in the waters of anguish
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
I pray you save me from desparity
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
I am in dismay in the sea of calamity
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
Happiness is just a teardrop away from reaching out to hold you, to embrace you
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
Sadness will no longer be your tune of loneliness and you’ll no longer be blue
Take it all away,
Distress and darkness, coming my way
Take it all the way
I pray you’ll take me away from disarray
Say you’ll stay with me
Say you’ll be my liberty
Say you’ll pray for me
To be set free from my misery…
When I was in the waters of anguish
Take it all away,
Take it all the way
Remember me
When I was young and foolish
Take it all the way,
Take it all away
Remember me
When I was swimming in the sea, single and lonely like a minuscule fish
Reduced to dismay,
Wishing you were here today
Take it all the way…take it all away..
The anguish and turmoil of yesterday
Fatigued eyes droop, lacking sweet slumber
But my eyes are an exception…everything’s a blur
They stare off into space…they ache with displeasure
But I still wonder… my pupils still wander
My pupils still wander… never planted in one spot
Their cup is half full…rather than half empty
My pupils see what others cannot
Because… their too busy to smell the roses of plenty
My pupils project feelings…
They comprehend – they spiral up and down
They express horrendous sorrows…they observe their surroundings
My belongings are misplaced – my smile lowers into a frown
Optimism isn’t in the picture…bestowing infection
Upon my crestfallen heart
I’m a broken compass – I’m losing my direction
My animated heart tears apart
Their voices are high in volume…rather than using half their volume
My pupils glance in many directions – beaming with glee
Because they’re focusing too much on their social lives…let us resume
On with our soothing music
Intrigued eyes lift…willing to wonder in curiosity
But my eyes swelter, wearily drowning in discouragement
They spot what others are too oblivious to see…
Nonetheless, I still ponder…
Are my pupils singing merrily OR are they wandering in bafflement?
Do I witness the fears and woes?
My pupils reject the precious scenery
They are carefree – they are heedless of my despondency
My pupils forever look forward to freedom…observe the hardships and disparity
My surroundings are chaotic and wild – my heart pounds profoundly…
My pupils…
Oh dear pupils…
Will you ever pay the bills?
Will you ever use your skills?
My heart bleeds in the river mills
My pupils ascend…above the dazzling hills
My pupils spew out remorse
My pupils are like open doors…
