Where are you going, my Little Ones?
        Oh, my precious, dear Little Ones ...
            do not dishearten at my absences,
    as with all, they are but evanescence.

Do I not return each twilight to romp?
        Have you yet not grown accustomed?
            Be still, Little Ones, I am but at task,
    inspiring, painting, weaving romance!

My beloved Little Ones, how you vex!
        Endless, our games of hide-and-seek,
            chasing You, (marbled blue at my feet),
    Sol, waiting to wink us into the dawn.

Oh, it matters not how bright you are,
        little consequence, your proportions,
            you charm and beguile the sky itself!
    Is that not an accolade worthy of any?

There gleams none like you, Little Ones,
        I am loved, yes, but my charm is brief,
            your allurement is eternal, perfect, true.
    How I envy you, my darling Little Ones!

Ah, Sol, such a sweet kiss goodnight,
        can you not tarry once to warm us -
            to but burnish this blue face of mine?
    Oh, such a dazzling adventure, that!

But you are the life-giver, Great Sol,
        and ever dutiful in your daily charge -
            I, but night light for Terra, (beneath me),
    callow caretaker of tides ... and dreams.

Ephemeral, my stay in this wondrous realm,
        still, you and your glimmering Little Ones,
            will prance and rollick on heaven's breast
    'til the blessed angels themselves depart!

So I'll ask of you now, Great Sol, please,
        watch over my bright wee friends, alight,
            for our nightly games have warmed me,
    and their companionship, ever soothed ...

My shining ...
        precious ...
            dear ...
    Little Ones!

Struggles can weary my soul
Shadows may darken my hopes
Sorrows bring tears flowing

Through it all, though…
His light stirs my heart
Bringing peace that reminds –
There is love…
So alive it dances through
All the dread, fulfilling my spirit
With gentle grace,
Freeing my soul of its distress
Silencing every feeling of doubt
Coloring my hopes in dreams
So very perfect

Darkness can dim my dreams
Dread may fill me with despair
Depression can dishearten 
Even my prayer

Through it all, though….
His light shines into my thoughts
Creating a sensation of hope
Whispering faith into my plans
Breathing peace through my days
Lifting up with sweet love…
As it rises from the ashes of doubt
Soothing, comforting, bringing out
All the joy that comes from knowing
The love He pours out inside is growing

Yes, the fear and worry and dark
Can create shadows of gloom
But when all is said and done…
His light, His love…
Assures the soul that the truth
Is found in the spirit of His love

Sing praises to the One who gives us
Second chances, new dawns
The way to a life of joy and faith
A life inspired by sweet grace
A life that aspires to give back
A part of the love He shines down
With each sun, each moon, each star
Every flicker of faith that fulfills
With its gentle affection, it’s spirit
The gift of a love that blesses forever!

Humbled Greatly

Humbled Greatly (to the point of returning back to you)

Ready or not, there you are
Ready or not, I wear this scar
It’s handsome and beautiful to me
It’s on my sweater of adversity and poverty

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Ready or not, here I flee
I am so extremely full of glee
I want to be frankly free
Is it a possibility? Can I get the opportunity?

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Thank me later
I pick myself up from the debris
I’m not a debator
So, don’t talk politics to me
That’s my only plea
Humbled greatly
Sarcasm rolling on the tongue in resentment and discouragement
But, I’ll encourage happy and optimistic memories of merriment…merriment…

Dishearten the heartless comments made
Parade in compassionate bliss without spreading hate
Love till your heart gives out — let’s have a trade
With my racing thoughts, with my racing soul in this race towards His gate

Letting go of envy and hatred
Letting go of jealousy and dread
Letting go of lust and temptation
Letting go of the mere frustration 

Humbled greatly
Until it aims your direction
I’m trying my hardest to earn your affection
Heal this impaired iniquity
Possibly, I’m losing my mind honestly

Premium Member Interview With A Grain Of Sand


As I trudge across the Thar desert, western India,
up and down the waves of the undulating dunes,
my inquisitive sight is focused on their shining surface.
One tiny quartz grain of sand catches my eye.
I feel the grain is ready for a dialogue with me.

So I ask : Where do you come from?
Sand grain (SG) : Far from the desert there is a rocky terrain 
        where tireless time weathers the rocks, produces the
        sand grains, and you see me as one of them.
Me :  How long are you here?
SG :  I don’t remember how long, but it seems a long time 
         I have been slipping in what I construe as a hour glass.
Me :  Your body is rotund, you can’t walk. How have you 
         come to where you are now?
SG :   As the storm blows, I along with others have flown 
         in sand mist on the wings of the desert wind to settle 
         on the shining slopes of the dunes. 
Me :   On these slopes dances mystifying mirage in the company
          of your reflective friends. Do you like this?
SG :   No. It deceives the thirsty travelers. I have a pure crystalline
          heart, I don’t dishearten them by making misleading mirage.
Me :    Truly, you have a heart aglow with wisdom and sympathy.
          With this kind of mental make-up you must be bored being
          stuck in the desert dune.
SG :   Yes. I want to roll down free, dance with the rhythm of the 
          dune ripples, listen to the hot music of the scorched wind, 
          and in moonshine waltz with the cool night’s beguiling breeze.
Me :   If you’re made free, the searing squall will blow you away. 
         Would you like it?
SG :   Yes. I’ll fly to the fervid fold of the opalescent oasis and sink 
          suffused with serenity in my blissful core that the rage of the
          desert sun can’t burn anymore. I’ll mark a moment at the 
          end of time.
Me :   Wish you best of luck. Thank you for the interview.

Premium Member God Is Love, Light and Life

He caresses my heart and soul each morning
When the sunlight reflects across the dawn
Reaching into my thoughts with a blessing
Gifting me with joy, serenity and acceptance
Reminding me that His love is always with me

He kisses me softly with each whisper of hope
Breaking through the darkness of fear and deceit
Worries and struggles that always discourage me
Yet remind me that I’m given grace by the One
Who leads and guides me through the storms

He touches my spirit with every new dream
Freeing me of feelings that discourage and shame
Leaving me assured that I have what it takes
To reach toward the endless visions of happiness
Wishes for inspiration and insight into compassion

He reaches into my life with a gentle hand of love
Freeing me from harm that might come when I drift
Into fear, pain and dread, feelings that discourage
Dishearten my hope for better moments, happier days
Light that softens the blows which come from sorrow

He whispers joy into my soul when I allow Him to grow
Bigger inside of me, where He longs to show me that
I have the answers to all my hopes and dreams, the faith
To give back to this world all the inspiration and grace
That He has blessed me with and given to last eternally

He paints the moments in hues of sweetest inspiration
A muse filled with gladness, excitement and exhilaration
The assurance that love this wise and strong and freeing
Will console my heart and soul through any amount of
Discouragement or depression, feelings that dare to pain me

He creates precious faith in me that breathes hope through
My heart and soul, into the center of my desires for a love
That brightens the morning and reaches through the night
To light up the sky with moon and starlight which glow through
My heart like a dance filled with vibrant rhythms which electrify

He is the One who makes my life worthwhile, brings me peace
Which enlightens my thoughts with promises of tomorrows
Filled with beauty, stunning inspirations and brilliant shades
Every color of the rainbow playing softly through my soul
Filing me up with reasons to grow and know… God is Love

“The presence of any humility in my life is purely and completely an evidence of God’s grace. From my perspective, I am not a humble man. I am a proud man pursuing humility by the grace of God.” – C. J. Mahaney

Blessings flow from the One
Who made the heart, the soul, the spirit,
Stirred the wonder in every thought,
The gentle breath of praises sent…

To God above, who saves each tear,
Offers mercy when we fear,
Remembers that we’re only human,
And, despite our doubts, reassures us.

Blessings stream down from above,
Soaked in warmth, peace and love,
Reminding us that He is always with us,
Sending grace and hope to defend us…

From the shadows of despair,
From the worries that dishearten our prayers,
From the darkness that is ever there,
Coloring our faith in shame and despair.

Blessings spring up from the rhythms
Of solace, kindness and everlasting light,
Fulfilling, inspiring, encouraging 
Reminding us that our life is filled with wonders…

Miracles falling all around our spirits,
Descending, like angels who kiss away the hurt,
Gentling the trembling angst that cries,
These miracles of love – we cannot deny!

Blessings flow from the heart of heaven,
Preparing us for eternity with the gift
Love that abides throughout all time,
Love that is ours, because Jesus died…

But, in three days, came back to life,
To reveal a promise that love is alive,
Love will never die – love will always find
A way to shine its light, a way to offer souls…

Salvation from the darkest hell,
Salvation from defeat and doubt,
Salvation from the enemy’s plans,
Salvation – because God’s grace has won!

Alarming Speed

3/20/22


Going at an alarming speed
Taxes and parking fees
Across uncharted seas
I'm in the presence of sharks and trees
Keeping any B.S. far from me
Among constant conflict and chaos, I've only partially
Found harmony
It all use to dishearten me
Experienced much first hand rather harshly
Around me was constant paraphernalia like a pharmacy
In years past, I partook in some carpentry
Sometimes I make chimichurri with ingredients like parsley
Remarkably
What I do will not matter or it shall far exceed
All expectations, meanwhile most continue harming each
It's typical no longer startling
People charm and tease
Cause harm and cheat
A lot of them are a creep

Mama told me, boy get your s*** straight
Otherwise you're ending up in fifth place
Won't exceed if your content with that and think it's great

Someday I'mma drop a mixtape
On B.S. they often fixate
Far too many commit hate
Worldwide instead of just across this state

I'm not jaded
Even though I constantly got cross faded
Often living in space
For a long time I was a bit late
So the ship sank
But after a quick break
It all became innate

Still they treat others worse than inmates
People far too often piss-take
And they love to dictate
At this rate
That'll be their last mistake
Because it all gives shape
To being dim and fake
Leading toward a grim fate

Damn girl you got a thick waist
If I don't shape up, I could end up being fish bait
Can't get by with a higher loss than win rate

Specific crowds targeted
Harmful products continually marketed
Won't catch me in a cardigan
I finished it and now I've started it
Got back to drinking hard again
Risking an arm and leg
In daylight I'm charging in
Or in the dark I hid


Hmm girl, you're so very far from a gem
Often broke the hearts of men
For a long time of love they were hunger-starven

Got to keep a smart head
And a firearm instead
Of just a blade with a sharp edge
Concern for human life is often disregarded
Doesn't matter what you do, like if you bartend
Or became a jarhead
Can't do anything if you are dead

Nodding off in my dilapidated easy chair; a soft gentle knock on the door
           Stand and stagger to answer it; I kick an empty beer can across the floor.
           Bleary eyed I look through the peek hole, I don’t see anyone there.
           Slowly I turn towards the LIVING ROOM , shaking my finger in my ear.
           The noise startled me : TAP  TAP  TAP that’s all I could hear.
           Do I answer the door , or go get a cold beer.
           I turn back around ( I’m getting dizzy ) the door I quickly open wide.
           A dishearten young girl, nine maybe ten; three days dirt on her face:
                                                                                                       I CRIED

Enimies Of My Breath

Enemies Of My Breath.

Like a purple dragon of doom, I breathe fire behind your knecks!

With the quake of the earth, I ensue your essence to the ends of the realms.

Like a volcano I erupt with the rage of gia the mother of storms,

As my wings flap upon your backs, I enact the four winds upon your heels!

Like lightning I arouse fear within your minds, and dishearten your allies!

Driven like the rivers of time, I erode your terrain, and bring you to ground zero.

Just as I breath the last of my stamina, I consequently the elements unearth you once again.

As my incursion enacts itself upon their society, it rupters like an artery and spays your offspring from these planes. 

As the eye of my hurricane enters upon your community, it dissociates you from your truth, and snaps you from the ather!

As your bastion fails i breath my finale upon your souls, your coup de grace is as follows.
 
As give chase like a hell hound i enact the command of the merciless sultan, euthinasia for thy foul fiends of the kingdom of bleeding hearts! 

Yes my liege its has been done as of yesterday, i say as they all lay dying all one hundred fifty fold of them.
