*My beloved Oval, I fear that my words fall short of what I am feeling in my heart. May you accept these few lines of love as my best effort of expressing my concern for you. I have heard much about you, but I have yet to visit and meet you in person. The pictures of you are rather striking and stunning.
It was during the 90's that I first became gravely concerned about what seemed to me, 'a tarnishing' of your office. Circumstances surrounding your occupants caused a great deal of weeping in my soul. It appeared as if the dark clouds of contamination were setting over you, and determined to drive out the awe and aromatic presence of your enduring reverence. Nevertheless, like the giant I always believed you to be, you came roaring back to a place of renown in the early 2000's. And Oval, it was so good to have you back. A new leader so deserving of your atmosphere took great lengths to restore the sacredness that was so rightfully due. I tell you Oval, the reality of your presence and power is so pervasive that it extends far beyond your palatial walls. For centuries you have adorned the shoulders of presidents in attire befitting their sacred trust.
Again, I stand aghast that I am observing a cloud of low regard for your office. Oval, this concern is not about presidents. More than 40 presidents have sat in your room, but you are still here. Presently, you are the one I am concerned about. It's my duty to speak up for you at this "high tide" of divisiveness.
Oval, in closing, there are many forces parading through our country; and it appears that these opposing forces are conspiring for a 'perfect storm'. Be advised and encouraged that much prayer is also invading the air waves. I see indications that not only shall we prevail and survive, but we shall also thrive because of God's Good Graces and His magnanimous mercies.

We had just finished reading Twas the Night Before Christmas
“Good Night children.” Their mom and I said.
“Wait a minute Dad…something’s not right. We live in Florida.” Our eldest son said.
“It’s too warm down here for the reindeer.” (Our second son said sounding defeated). “How does Santa deliver the presents if all his reindeer become overheated?”
“There’s no snow, it’s not cold and we have no chimney.” (This statement was made by our daughter) “How does Santa deliver presents to those of us who live on the water.”
I looked at my wife and smiled…my hands thoughtfully covering my mouth. “You mean we’ve never told you”, I said sitting down, “how Santa delivers presents to the south?"
“Santa’s reindeer love to fly…high across the winter sky they soar…but even they get tired so when Santa’s sleigh reaches our shore he gives his reindeer a break on the beach with some suntan lotion and a bale of hay…and hooks up nine Florida dolphins who take over guiding his sleigh.”
“Thank you for helping all my dolphin friends!” each year Santa happily exclaims.
Then one by one they smile and nod as Santa Claus calls them by name.
On Aqua, on Ocean, on Brooke, on Marina…Noelani are you ready for me?
On Splash, on Delta, on Raindrop…it's time to guide me out over the sea.”
“Over and under the sea we will swim…look smart, please stay in two rows…and when it gets too dark to see out there…on Coral…please light up your nose.
“You see Santa is very resourceful.” Dad said…”I hope you now understand…how he can deliver his presents on the water as easily as on the land.”
“Many children all over the world see Santa and his reindeer and instantly believe...but only the children in Florida see Santa and his dolphins on Christmas Eve.”
If you look out your window tonight you might see…on the water…in the moon light arise...a sleigh pulled by nine dolphins, Santa in short sleeves with sunglasses covering eyes.
And if you're lucky you even might hear him exclaim as he and his dolphin drive out of sight.
Happy Christmas to all the children in Florida…
and to all the children in Florida…
a good night.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.”
I often wish to dwell in the light
But there are always those useless excuses
That allows me to lose insight
But I always end up with these endless bruises
“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
I try to disregard the hate burning inside
But there are always those people who I don’t appreciate
Sometimes I just want to cower and hide
Away from the love that has transformed into impure hate
But someone will come out to stand up for what is truly ours
And, eventually love will prevail!
My friend’s house caught on fire when she was gone.
It was a gorgeous house, in the country, on fifty acres.
She had painted custom murals and decorated every room fancy.
The kind of house people “ooh and ahh” over, due to its beauty.
She had worked on this house for over twenty-seven years.
She was gone that day. It was a devastation. A total wipe out fire.
Not only did people drive out to watch the fire, they brought snacks.
I don’t know which was worse, she told me.
Losing my house or picking up the trash people threw out of their cars.
I was horrified and of course, she was devastated.
Who does this? Some people did, driving up into the yard to watch.
As if it was a bonfire. Sadly, some treated it like a tailgate party.
Utter disrespect for another, leaving trash in her yard like that.
I was at the bar tonight – I’m sorry, father
I am the crow of the night, so don’t bother,
Releasing me, for I have wings of flight already
I bore these scars for far too long…the stars are my confetti…
I’m feeling lonely tonight
I’m not that bright, alright?
I’m swimming in my emptiness
I’m flying too high into this mess
The tablet and I are in love again…love again…
Technology has taken advantaged of me
Then again, it makes me feel good and then…
Someone has to bully me online…you see?
I have been in so many bars
To try to thrill me in many ways…many ways
In His eyes, I am like a billion stars
I’m just going through one of those days
I must rise above the waters of woe
I must drive out the lies of your goodbyes
I am that lonesome crow, you know?
Change is a challenging chore…yeah, no lies…
I am restless and can’t seem to shut my mind down
I am confident that tomorrow will lift up my frown
Grieve not, love of mine, for I am no longer sad
Leave not, darling angel, for I am no longer mad
I am the silence amongst crowds
I am the leather amongst your loads
Your laundry pile makes me smile
Because my own is less than style
I believe there are brighter days out there
I am the introvert amongst extroverts
Tear away the sorrow from within oh so bear
Comfort me in the shadows…it hurts…
I’m soaring too low in my slight distress
I’m ascending from my sheer emptiness
I’m feeling no longer lonely tonight
Will you be my one and only friend?
You shed some light upon my night
Will you be my best friend till the end?
I’m descending from my horrifying fears
I’m rising above the ashes of our nightmares
I will not hate you no matter what you do to me
You whipped me in the boiling sun, I am in pain but I will not hate you
My back is scarred from your torture, with that belt you have over my head
I will not hate you
My eyes will still see the rising sun my soul has no darkness
I am in the shackles you put me in but I will not hate you
My son is beneath the ground because of your hate, I will not hate you
I see your daughter smiling face as you teach her how to hate me
You try to take my pride and dignity but I will not hate you
My feet are grounded in love I will not hate you "darkness cannot drive out darkness" said Martin Luther King, only the light can
I will not let you pull me so low as to hate you ...I will look in your eyes with the light of love that guides me, I will not hate you
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Light, racing from the heavens to the earth
Blazing through shadows and resting on dreams,
Painting the dawn in gentle peace…
Light, laughing like the wind in the trees
Promising the soul to always quiet the grief,
Erasing the darkness with sensations of grace…
Light, reflecting the music of joy’s embrace
Singing to the moments who silence the rain,
Kindling a feeling, blazing with melodies of gratitude…
Light, sighing into the mists rising around the peaks,
Kissing each thought with a blend of intimacy and love,
Telling the heart to listen, hear the beautiful glistening…
Light, dancing like the twisting of a storm’s silhouette,
Inviting the soul to hear the meaning of elation,
Trembling with pearls of wisdom, the gentling praise…
Light, rousing the wisps of language and faith,
Reassuring the moments, unburdened by doubts,
Even the hills seem to cry out with a longing for the sparks…
Light, beaming from the clouds with an invitation,
Moments awaiting the crispness of dew flavored dawns,
Stirring the spirit to hear the songs played by the heart…
Light, echoing over the alluring moments, mysteries,
In tones of feathery favors, mercies falling over the night,
Healing the memories of a past filled with fears, tears…
Light, softly playing poetry, flowing through the mind,
Rebuilding the dreams with a sense of love’s bliss,
Secreting the memories in the crisp, clear autumn notes…
Light, quivering, quaking with a need to breathe,
Erasing the darkness with the wonder of a new day,
Smiling through the branches, clinging to the prayers…
Light, a moment when God glances through the fog,
Enthuses the spirit to read the effortless hues, flowing,
Leaving the feelings in tune with adoration from a soul…
Light, listening to the blessings, faithful like yesterday,
Piercing the present with its remembrance – the music,
Liquid sun, slipping past the branches in a creative praise of God!
Would you still love me if I wasn’t a poet?
Sensing my spirit, my rhythms, my rhymes…
Musings revealing me, one breath at a time!
Flowery flow : Enchanting elegance.
Flowery fairness with fragrance fantastic
Flowers grow and glow on Nature-kingdom.
Playing pretty role in love and romance.
Broad spectrum : Diversity of flowers
Beauty of flowers to drive out boredom.
Charm of sundry colors on competence.
Some single, some in cluster or florets
Buds and blossoms in happiness and glee.
Some spreading sweet soothing scent to solace
Some in aroma on amorous flow
Floral wisdom producing seed in spree.

STARRY, STARRY NIGHT
I often look up towards the sky at night,
And wonder who or what is there,
I shout out loud, if you see or hear me, I love you,
I do this every night, the starry sky, an absolute delight!
I drive out of the city to the Kruger Park,
There, not only am I close to nature and serenity,
But to the universe, I look up, no pollution,
I stretch my arms up high, excited, it is very dark!
No street lights, or cars headlights, or any noise,
The moon is so bright and full, it smiles at me,
Quite rare, for normally the moon looks a little sullen,
The stars, I’ve lost count, as they twinkle with such poise!
The Milky Way so clear, I feel I want to reach up high,
As it allures me, and weaves across the sky,
Milky, so graceful and silent, as it, and I watch
Sparkling stars, and planets rotating, unknown
To mankind, yet to be discovered in our eternal
Galaxy to which I want to fly!
Our universe has constellations of stars, named mostly
After mythology’s gods, who beckon, tempt and wink
And entice me, but I am on planet earth, how near
Could I reach this flamboyant display, body, soul
And mind, holistically!
So maybe if I look up into our never ending
Sky at night,
And wish upon one star, with imagination
That runs rampant,
I will see above and far beyond with breathless anticipation,
What I could never imagine, an explosion that blinds me,
An aura, translucently bright!
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18 NIV
God is love
Satan is trying to keep all in fear
Jesus came in perfect love
That we might seek Him to drive out fear
With His spirit to dwell within
Only those which reject Jesus shall fear
Of the punishment to come
Ever wander why this world
Loves confusion, fear and hate
This is where Jesus came to save us from
How many medications will we come up with
To try and make mankind happy
How many different drugs and alcohol
To try and satisfy these impure spirits
Why not call upon Jesus to cast them out
So one might live in love, peace and joy
To set their eyes above
Not on worldly things lusting after things
Of the flesh never to satisfy that void
Please don't rely on this world to help you
But seek the anointing of the spirit
To reveal the truth in God's word
No longer needing teaching from mankind
1 John chp. 3-5 tells so much
Of what's going on around us
It's the same today as then
But getting worse and worse daily
Mankind still living in the first covenant
Trying to live good by the laws not to sin
Instead of the new covenant
Where Christ dwells within to mold one
Pulling one away from this world
With a new vision of looking from outside
Of the chaos once living among in foolishness
Dying moment by moment of thy will
So Christ might reign within
And reject all these impure spirits
From entering His temple
