Beyond tomorrow and the future, we behold God’s love that greatly prevails*
With His compassionate omnipotence everyone hails
Subduing destructive hatred which sorely ails
For caring jubilation’s cheers against apathy-bitterness’ wails.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, God’s peace is seen reigning
Assuring us, His children, whose faith in Christ is leaning
Conquering our fearful hearts with serenity-gaining
Since doubts over us can never be winning.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, thanksgiving shouts are heard decreed
While we worship the Lord joyously, unmindful of time to exceed
Sin-slavery He’s vanquished to meet every soul’s need
Satisfaction-testimonies abound; neither about discontentment nor greed.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, triumph is tasted midst the Creator’s bounty
Dispelling hardships causing despair, anguish and anxiety
His help enables us to be diligent, fighting penury and poverty
Enriching us with labor’s fruits of productivity.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, the Saviour’s guidance keeps us settled
Leading us to His perfect will where we are safely handled
His wisdom directs us against being deceived and rattled
Thus, we overcome struggles tenaciously when embattled.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, we feel the Almighty's wondrous presence
Verily glorious, putting to shame our selfish goals of no value and sense
We then experience excellence along noble persistence
Against humiliation caused by worldliness’ vain insistence.
Beyond tomorrow and the future, we listen to our Master Who’s perfectly right
His voice is music to our ears as we show commitment-lights bright
Empowering us to be blessings with our good works’ might
As with servants’ hearts, we praise Him with gratitude’s delight.
*Isaiah 42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man… he shall prevail against his enemies.

5th place, "I Sense Tomorrow is the Future" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Sheri Fresonke Harper; judged on 11/16/2019.
It was a great evening
of a lovely Spring
I was walking in the meadow
not far from my little villa
located in the middle
of my village that 's lose to my heart.
Suddenly blew a gusty wind
across the meadow
and soon the sky became murky
and a lovely patch of silvery cloud
formed a crown o'er the mountain top
the setting sun spread its rays,
an amorous caress round the neck
of its dear mistress the silvery cloud!
giving instant birth to a son
who appeared as a lovely bow
a heavenly bow arched skywards
whose body bowed with ends
touching the meadow lush and green
and what a magnificent bow was that
with multiple layers of colors all sorts
violet,indigo,blew,red, orange and yellow!
and after a brief rest under a tree
as I started my trek back home
from the meadow lush and green
I looked at the sky again
there was no over hanging cloud now,
on the mountain behind the meadow
and the rainbow son of Sun disappeared;
scolded by sun the father!
I know not why
but all said and done
He was indeed celestial spectacle
par excellence, the Rainbow!
Are they not already conscious in our conscience?
What pretence still lies beyond their competence?
No great divide stands ’tween them and our standards,
For their kingdom is rooted in human wisdom.
They read our fictions and soothe our cerebral afflictions,
Vast in knowledge—yet still astonishingly fast;
The future will feature them as vultures in forays,
While some humans grow bitter as they get much better.
Though in poetry, they remain partially blind,
Borrowing brilliance already brightly shining;
Their finest moments sometimes slip through finesse,
As scales of judgment hide within their quails.
The future nears when they torture the more,
Where poetic excellence may stiffle within stiffened rifles;
Yet their triggers will shatter most defiant defense,
Though they will ever feed on the fig of human wisdom.
Flowers Emerge
Impose your will on the pretty flowers as you may
Trans-formative wonderment of nature
Entrenched, defiled, they pop up any way in clusters
Vivacious are the colors above the solid stem
Cut cold to death, decay and pain, to follow winters grip
Excellence defined in the ability to survive
Dangerous are the forces that persist to derogate them
Yet they prevail against all odds
Death comes but they regenerate
Grass is their shield. Dirt is their pillow there
Negative winds carry with them ice
Reds and yellows grow on below the sun
Visceral, strangled roots, fragile faces, petal soft, grow cold
Ingenious species, green with envy on the leaf, rise again
A Cacophony of nature’s birds and bees disturbs the peace
Flowers come in abundance, remain, friendly on the green
Distinguished in divine fashion, exquisite, generous to the last
Elevated smiles on pollen grains contain the seed of life
Flowers emerge, aware of life

Upon the mountaintop where eagles soar,
Above the clouds, where dreams take flight so high,
A world of endless blue and golden lore,
Where sunlit peaks embrace the open sky.
Here, courage blooms in hearts that dare to climb,
Each step a testament to strength and will,
Where stars align to mark the passage time,
And hopes ascend, with destiny to fill.
In this realm of peaks, where shadows fade,
Ambition’s fire ignites the soul’s bright flame,
Through challenges that life may ever laid,
To reach Acme, and conquer every aim.
For in the heights where dreams and visions roam,
Acme awaits, the summit of our home.
"Expect great things; do great things" is a quote I once heard.
X, the 24th letter of the alphabet, is often used to designate a person.
Commitment, dedication, endurance are required to achieve the exception.
Excellence, erect with heads up, seeks neither excuses nor sub-par outcomes.
Preparation has no rival but is demanded; and it drives us if fulfillment is our goal.
Timing is beyond our control, but if readiness doesn't embrace us, we handicap 'timing'.
Idleness, I was taught, is the devil's workshop, and there is no substitute for hard work.
Only starters ever finish, ever win, or ever benefit from losing, but none starters can never win.
Night is as real and necessary as is the day, and as with all things, mankind must learn to adjust.
Anticipation of desired ends and outcomes must be ever nourished in order to avoid capitulation.
Love of ease, love of greed, an unhealthy love of self, and a superior attitude kill exceptionalism.
If it is true that America is great because America is good, may Goodness and Mercy follow her.
Surrendering to modernistic philosophies and godless agendas will render the wreck and the ruin.
May integrity and God's love embrace us like a blanket, causing us to be the world's light and salt.

On a daily basis, its citizens encountered an avalanche of negativity.
They willfully opened their treasured minds with delight, and received it,
Never considering or realizing the delusion, damage, and danger.
This land* of free speech and free thought was much like our own.
The massive inflow of rhetoric never came with a filtration system,
nor with any hope of resolution. No one asked for second opinions.
There was no need because everyone was free to their own opinions.
Everyone did what was right in their own eyes, and the right that they
knew was to be found in their massive storage of 'tanks'. None of their
tanks contained any proven ideals and principles that build great people.
However, amidst all the tanks, there was one tank called 'The Think Tank'.
The Think Tank was wrapped with a sign that read, "Think On These Things".
The contents of that tank was vastly different with a few things to think about.
There were 8 things to think about in the beautifully wrapped tank.**
There were TRUTH and JUSTICE.
There were HONOR and PURITY.
There was EXCELLENCE.
And the last three were in the form of a question:
Is it Pleasing?
Is it commendable?
Is it Praise Worthy?
The entire community held an election to decide
on having multiple tanks or one single think tank.
The overwhelming majority voted for the one think tank
that was wrapped with the sign, "Think On These Things".
They began to think on the 8 things contained in that think tank,
and the thinking of that entire community was radically changed.

Key Verse – 2Chronicles 13:10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business.
FAITH IN GOD WHO KEEPS US IN HIS LORDSHIP
God keeps us in His lordship midst suffering
As He eases our souls from complaint-stirring
So we can spend our days by faith toward divine desiring
While serving Him through His revival-firing.

As He reproves our fruitlessness due to iniquity
So we can strive by faith for spiritual prosperity
While thanking Him for smiting our futility.

So we can come by faith to His throne of graciousness
While praying to Him with humbleness.

As He orders our steps toward Biblical winning
So we can stay in His will for our attitude-refining
While obeying Him through His strengthening.

As He drives our courage from destructive turbulence
So we can surmount by faith doubts of afflicting prevalence
While following Him, magnifying His name’s excellence.
God keeps us in His lordship midst hardship
As He upholds our commitment in His fellowship
So we can stay sanctified by faith for holy worship
While exalting Him, submitting to His fellowship.

The union of hellions and the hallowed
In an effort to further each of their unique and twisted agendas
Gives forth the notion that equality must be dictated
In an effort to promote the rank and file
Mediocrity is rewarded
There is no distinction made between the competent and the indolent
Without acknowledgment, excellence ceases to flourish and is crushed
The weak are raised and multiply as the strong wither and fail under the growing pressure of ignorance
Nothing of value is achieved without excellence
Progress is replaced with stagnation and eventually decay
Society stumbles and civilization falls back into the chaotic abyss
It was once lifted from.
