Love is blind
To all the perils
That lie dormant in the mind
Beyond the limits of transgression.
A mortal maiden golden-haired
Priestess of Athena, daughter of the gods
By Poseidon with persuasive honeyed words was wooed
She melted in their alluring warmth and charm.
With guile concealed and flattery he urged her on
Her defences crumbled; the drawbridge lowered
To reveal the gateway to her heart
Forgotten were the vows of celibacy.
Beneath his touch her senses reeled
Her eyelids closed in expectation
He took his chance with urgent need and greed
Her virgin spoils were taken.
As trembling bodies rode the waves of love and lust
Tremors shook the earth, the ocean heaved; the wind enraged
Swept o’er the land and lightning flashed across the sky.
Such was the wrath of gods defied and disobeyed
Terrible and eternal punishment they bestowed.
The mortal maiden golden-haired
A repulsive hideous monster she became
Her fair unblemished skin gave way to loathsome green
Her bloodshot eyes in terror gazed, their previous lustre gone
Each lock of hair a writhing snake that hissed and spouted venom.
Condemned beyond mercy she fled to distant land
Where cursed and shunned she lived in great despair
Turning into stone whosoever fell beneath her vengeful gaze.
At last Perseus took her life. Aided by Athena’s mirrored shield
His scythe tore into flesh and bone; her severed head was lifted high.
Medusa’s misery and shame came to an end
Death – the final liberating act.
Eternal God creates
Conserves all things by His Word
Provides man with constant of Himself
In created realities
Wishing to open up
The way to heavenly salvation
He manifested Himself to our first parents
From the very beginning
He invited them to intimate communion with Himself
Clothed them with grace
Justice
This Revelation was not broken by our first parents ‘sin
After the fall
Eternal God marked them up
With the hope of salvation
By promising redemption
Has never ceased to show His concern
For the human race
For He wishes to give eternal life
To those who seek salvation
By patience in well-doing
Even when he disobeyed you
Lost your friendship
You did not abandon Him
To the power of death
Again and again
You offered a covenant to man

Form:
When Satan uttered through the snake
Eve’s faith in God he sought to shake.
His questions circled in a route
that he sure hoped would create doubt.
His wooing words worked like a charm
they did not in Eve stir alarm.
God’s firm command she disobeyed
And then Adam’s pure mind, she swayed.
When Jesus came in Adam’s place
to rescue our fallen race.
The Devil tried his faith to shake
and to His Father’s will forsake.
Jesus prevailed where Adam failed
His faith held when sorely assailed.
When in Gethsemane He prayed
His faith prevailed, in God’s will He stayed.
And as He died upon the cross
His faith was pure and without dross.
Beyond the tomb, He could not see
In His victory, faith was the key.
The ones who would with Jesus stand
when persecution’s flames are fanned
would be those who His faith retains
and faithful to His law remains.
The faith of Jesus is so strong
It helped Him withstand Satan’s throng.
His faith is bestowed as a gift
to help saints stand and never drift.
The Epidemic
2 Chronicals 7:14 *
The greatest impact of the century
Unlike any seen before
Referred to, as a silent enemy
It rapidly spread from shore to shore
At first, some appeared nonchalant
To the magnitude it did present
They chose to ignore, - - facts
And deem it just another event
Issues involved more than "things"
It was about death and life
Drastic measures were exercised
Most everyone felt the strife
Everyday activities were curtailed
Authorities implemented control
All but basic essentials
Were temporarily put on hold
The epidemic touched rich and poor
A virus does not choose it's prey
The medical world frantically sought
For a way to make it go away
Did it ever occur that mankind
Has drifted away from God
In Eden, when they disobeyed
They were met with a chastening rod
A promise in God's Word declared *
A solution for people in that day
Perhaps this, - - we should consider
Lest we become a castaway

"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs;”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
,
I stand amidst the stillness of the graveyard and browse
My unbearable anguish like drooping flowers surge,
Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs,
While hungry birds fly round twittering a plaintive dirge.
The old oak tree now denuded from all its green leaves
Time pass, forlorn eerie mist descends hiding the grave
Then sparkling white snow flutter down, thus my heart bereaves,
Bringing on hopelessness that dear life can never save.
No flowers by request she always maintained and said.
I could not bear to see others hide her from my view,
I disobeyed her and covered her with roses red.
Memories flooded my mind with thoughts that I pursue.
In the pain stillness of my heart, I know death does part
But like the nude oak tree, no one can refill my heart.
Once it seemed my consciousness sailed upon a sea
in a time when the world was in a state of serenity.
Troubles loomed then, but were perfumed with smiles,
and although the journey in life had its share of trials,
my sails were filled with hope, my travels sun-kissed,
for there was a brotherhood of man that did exist.
But on American shores and all other distant lands,
the sodality of brethren crumbled from the demands
made in the name of equality, but in reality, it was greed.
Those who had more than others said they had a need
to make the world a better place in which to be alive.
It was a facade. The travesty of humanity took a nosedive.
Now, there's no peace in civilizations upon the earth.
For the rebellion of humans, Jesus was offered in birth.
He came because evil doers who wore the shame of sin,
disobeyed the Father. It's the sad state we now live in.
Gone are the days of kindness, replaced with hostility.
The world has been overrun with deceit and immorality.
The seas on which I once sailed have become polluted
and values of the brotherhood of man were uprooted.
War kills the innocent. Woe to those who are persecuted.
Yet, the guilty go free when they should be prosecuted.
Forests are stripped, taking away the animal's habitat,
and global warming is a tragedy that we need to combat.
What next? That's a question, but answers are hard to find.
Will we ever live in harmony in a world that is maligned?
Is it possible to have a melding within the human race?
The world lies in tumult; civilizations are mired in disgrace.
Once, people had scruples, a sense of right from wrong.
Now, peace is for dreamers in the words of Lennon's song.

Bless the work of my hands Oh! Lord
Bring forth your divine design
And dress me with a garment of light
And leave my old robes behind
Redeem me Oh Lord!
Return my glory!
So that I can give praises to the Father
Holy! Holy! Holy!
Bless the work of my hands Oh Lord!
Let me prosper in the light
Give me wisdom and wealth
And an obedient wife
So that my seeds may multiply
And dominate this earth
When you are close to the bosom of the Creator
You can never lose
Because the Lord does as he pleases
And blesses whom he choose
Show pity on your servant Oh Lord!
Because your mercy is great
The ruler of the Heaven and universe
The architect of men’s’ fate
By Your word it was created
And by your spirit you sent life
The Lord will save you from the sea of tribulation and strife
But we are poor and needy Oh my God!
Please do not cast us off
And even though the road may be rough
I will not lose God’s love
The Lord is the keeper of my soul
He is the Shepherd who keeps his sheep from going astray
And protects his chosen ones every night and day
The Lord is wonderful in every way
And he shows mercy to those who fear him
So I will abstain from sin
As I draw myself closer to him
Heathens wallow in a sea of mud
Until their iniquities be found to be evil
Because they disobeyed His word
In the eyes of the world they prosper
But they soon fade away and suffer
The righteous will never lack because the Lord will provide
I am shielded by the Lord
So why should I hide?
My enemies like a potsherd
And are smashed by His rod
He will protect those who obey his word
And make the meek strong
And the little one powerful
I will praise your name in the presence of the throng
I will praise your name because it is right
And never wrong
I will praise your name and make it my favourite song
From everlasting to everlasting
Amen! Amen!
I am going to write about can you lose God
Can you lose the Spirit of God?
Can He go away from you and never come back?
Yes you can lose the Spirit of God
But He will always come back
as He had said "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5)
You would feel His presence left you
if you did something He didn't want you to do
You would feel He temporarily left you
if you annoyed Him
Does God get mad easily?
No
But He does get mad
And only when you did something extremely wrong OR disobey
Yes my friend - disobey
That would get Him leaving you so quick
You don't know what hits you
Take good care of His presence
because in it, you will find life
and you will find you
Need I say more?
When His presence leaves you
you will find you are the most meanest person on earth
Meanest?
My standard - your standard
as you feel you have no heart
When His presence leaves you
you will find you are the most grouchy person on earth
and you just lash out for no reason
as you no longer have that boundary
God keeps you in boundary
God keeps you good
God keeps you not wasted
- not drinking - mind you
God keeps you comfortable
God keeps you loved
How do I know all this?
'cause it happened to me
I disobeyed
Ages ago, in the beginning
God said "Let there be light."
And Satan made his attempt
at darkening man's insight;
having fallen himself by denying
God's power at heaven's height.
Adam and Eve fell for his lies
and disobeyed God's command
to leave that one tree alone
just one tree in all of Eden-land.
The tree of the knowledge
of good and evil must have been grand.
The Light of the World
met his Father's challenge
on the cross, And He changes
lives still today, but I cringe
at the thought of God-asking me,
"did your light, the darkness impinge?"
John, Revelation's time traveler of old,
foretells visions of not needing the moon or sun.
New Jerusalem need never fear a black-out
of understanding, for there dwells the Holy One
the Living light. God Himself will be all the light
mankind will need when time has become undone.
