When my mind is aligned
with my astrological sign
my poetical energy flow intensifies
and the power
of the Capricorn mind comes alive
so I can verbalize
the inner thoughts of my mind
and spout poetry
that can touch the public mind
beautifully
because the synergy
of my mind and spirit
gives birth to a soulful vibe
which allows my words to glide
through the air
and slide
through your earlobes
and probe your mental
penetrate your membranes
tickle your senses
while putting you in harmony
with reality
when it comes to life and love
my spoken words
have the power to inspire
to lift you higher
inject you with the desire
to see things from
a different perspective
you see
my message is to edify
uplift
educate the hearer
to feed the hungry mind
through lyrical rhyme
the strength of my dialogue
is designed
is designed to be a thought
rearranger
to turn a procrastinator
into a dream chaser
to make a follower
become a visionary
to teach someone to be
objective
and selective
when choosing the right roads
to travel
in their journey through life
let's be clear
I'm not a motivational speaker
I'm just a deep-thinker
and when my mind is aligned
with my astrological sign
my poetical energy intensifies
and the power
of the Capricorn mind
comes alive
and I can create
a well blended melody
in my mind
which has the capability
to put sweet music
in the heart of the listener
at least
this is the mind-set
of this Capricorn poet
Learn from the eagle how to soar with winds
Spanning your wings to conquer tall peaks
Float hopes high reaching sapphire blue skies
Triumph with your smile as the world goes by
When beset in clutches of troublesome plight
Know that a new dawn always follows night
My child, when it’s your turn, do what’s right
Even a bright sunny day must cede to twilight
If you want things easy, they won't be worth it
Learn to swing ably if you wish to score a hit
When the climb gets hard you must never quit
Things that you regret, you may never repeat
Glint someone’s clouds, be the rainbow on arc
Be the emissary of light for the adrift in dark
Edify your doldrums, be always on your mark
Lift somebody’s dawn, be the sweet song of lark
Walk along humility when tempted by pride
Learn from those saintly, living lives dignified
Hold your balance or you’ll tumble and fall
Let the mountains teach you how to stand tall
When something goes wrong, do not justify
What’s spurious and superficial, do not glorify
How well you do, rests on how hard you try
When you hear the call of duty, never ask why
Let happy thoughts reign your state of mind
When emotions overwhelm, always choose kind
Spread the wealth of love to help mankind
Be the precious gemstone that is hard to find
Glint someone’s clouds, be the rainbow on arc
Be the emissary of light for the adrift in dark
Edify your doldrums, be always on your mark
Lift somebody’s dawn, be the sweet song of lark

Placed 1st: Your advice to the youth poetry contest

Placed 5th: Your choice (41) contest by Brian Strand
God, you want us to believe you
But you don’t want us to guess you
God, how can we believe if we can’t guess you?
You are majestic God
And you do whatever You want
You will let us know though
God and you don’t want us to count on you
Yet you want us to depend and live not without you
You are a source of contradiction
Amazement – all your own
We live not knowing
Walking by faith
But you will make it all come together
In the end
God, is there anything you don’t want us to believe?
You don’t want us to guess and take you for granted
That I know
What else Lord?
You don’t want to answer to no one
You are all your own
We bless You Lord
Our magnificient, unfathomable, unpredictable, All-able
You are just beyond description
Words cannot justify you
Edify you, magnify you
Oh Father
We give you our own
Heart, soul, and mind
To glorify you Lord
To give you obeisance
Lord – Jesus is your name
And you are
All your own
Some 25 or more years ago, a fellow parishioner connected with me
by gifting me with a can of coffee. Ten years ago, my first posting
on Poetry Soup was entitled "A Can of Coffee" which was about
my new found friend.
There was once a poet who welcomed me into this community
of online poets. Not long afterwards, that poet said goodbye
to the entire poet community which included me. It's been
10 years since I heard from that poet via poems posted on
the website. Perhaps the parting was meant to be, but there
is no way to know.
What I do know is that, at a major intersection, in the crossroad
of my life, a poet connected with me with words of kindness.
As a result, my life has been greatly enriched since joining the
community. Words of welcome were given that emboldened
and embraced me with courage and inspiration to go forward
with my embryotic poetic pursuit.
In conclusion, please allow me to remind my fellow 'Soupers'
that writing poems is much more enriching and priceless as
we touch and edify each other with the kind of kindness that
I have experienced. And may I always give back far more than
I have received. Coffee, parishioner, poetic connections. Who knew?
Sisters
My best friend
And worst enemy
Just leave me alone
Always there for me
I steal her clothes
We share everything
She buys me things
That she needs
Envious again
Competing beauty
They say we look like twins
She's prettier than me
Too long without a visit
Moved in right next door
Came 800 miles
Just To be ignored
Her option of me
Matters more than most
Too my face, critical
Behind my back, boasts
Support and edify
Build up and inspire
Ensuring she understands
Her help is not required
Curse when near
Cry when away
The only one to trust
To keeps secrets safe
But I'm the only one
Allowed to criticize
Don't mess with my sister
Don't even try
how does one sustain and retain spiritual revival
to go to the next level and have spiritual survival?
how do you move higher and increase your faith
and not regress nor become stagnant?
we need to be saturated in God's holy word
read the basic instructions before leaving earth
if you can't seem to understand the manual of God
how can you know your purpose in life or even where to start?
we're all in this world trying to make some sense
dealing with reality hoping not to get warped nor bent
know your basic instructions before leaving earth
be aware of what it is that God wants you to know first
when reading His manual in order for everything to turn out right
you must follow the basic principles sent down from the Kingdom of Light
we always get in trouble whenever we veer from God's hands
we always have to struggle when we don't follow His master plan
but for the grace of God, but for His will
but for His mercy that you are here still
you can tell much about some people by how they maintain the Lord's temple
it's a way to measure their faith and obedience, plain and simple
so stop worrying about worldly possessions forget all of that stuff
don't be a slave to material things that can't help when life gets too rough
don't worry about what you have nor what you think you own
for all you see belongs to God, the Kingdom and the throne
it's a matter of trust, it's about putting God first
it's about reading the basic instructions before leaving earth
to grow in your faith just study the Word every day
and stand on It's foundation for It will guide your way
advance in godly spirit and discover your true worth
by reading your basic instructions before leaving earth
you're a child of Christ so exult and edify the Lord
use the Holy manual and all will be in accord
yes, the Bible is required for it's the focal point
It's the prerequisite for one to get anoint
for the Bible is the primary source for spiritual preparation
It's the guiding light to spiritual revelation
so read and study God's manual and develop a powerful thirst
for reading the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth
Sovreign Lord, my most gracious King,
He whom created everything.
Save my life, make all darkness flee,
Holy Spirit, Lord, set my heart free.
My Saviour, friend, oh Prince of Peace,
make fear fade, anxiety cease.
Remove my chains, Lord rescue me,
Holy Spirit, Lord, set my heart free.
Both Son of Man, and Son of God,
mark my road, be my staff, my rod.
Be my strength, in both sorrow, glee,
Holy Spirit, Lord, set my heart free.
Oh Spirit, Lord, resting in me,
Fill my soul up, let all else flee.
In my weakness, edify me,
Holy Spirit, Lord, set my heart free.

God glorifying words so in lack
such desires seem not at heart
this is abhorrence to God's law
which commands perfection not a part
The one who commands such things
is perfect in character and holiness
absolutely without flaw or blemish
for He offers redemptive blessedness
So be sure to speak wholesomeness
such communication that's truly pure
words that hold you up respectfully
knowing this God forever will endure
Edifying speech is its result
for it will produce edifying grace
to edify all hear such words
then God and truth do embrace
Ephesians 4:29 (KJV)
( 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.)
Sweet hope has taught no truth more fair -
the soul should like a garment wear
divine righteousness; mine, threadbare.
I'm stunned by doubt that passes by
Christ’s majesty… to edify
man's shallow robes. Feet and hands lie
exposed to the world’s suspect eye,
rough clouds obscure and fog love's sky.
Emotions reign; disdain runs deep;
in dogma’s cup, reactions steep.
Snubbing the Spirit’s sway, men sweep...
rejecting virgin birth; their drill
denying Sonship, overkill.
Launching trust as on a treadmill,
rather than reckoning God’s will.
Devotee daydreams his way uphill
leaving his faith at a standstill.

William Kekaula's contest: Impact and Metaphors
I go to a place where I can be alone
a place that I call my comfort zone
peaceful, quiet serenity
the ultimate tranquility
I go to a place that I call my own
my heaven on earth, my comfort zone
Idyllic, stressless totally relaxed
my mind is at rest and not being taxed
I go to that place, my comfort zone
to confess my transgressions and atone
my heart to be cleansed, my mind to be cleared
a place of solitude to draw the Lord God near
to meditate, to contemplate
to ponder and deliberate
to remember and reflect
my soul searching project
I go to a place where I always pray
to thank God for showing me the right way
to exalt and edify the body of Christ
on the journey that is my life
I go to a place where I can be
free from life's adversities
to unburden, unload, relax and release
my comfort zone, my slice of peace
free from the world's preconceived ideals
a place where my heart, mind and spirit may heal
my comfort zone, my own personal space
my sanctuary, my saving grace
