Oh fallen star of Bethlehem, your established moment shines,
upon canvas of harsh intent, descendent of heavenly design?
A mighty angel’s leading light to those befallen, pleasure-bent?
Are gleaming eyes masking spites or, our demands, aspiring content?
Looking toward skies o’er Bethlehem, as prides of mortal men delight;
bearing gifts; coffered obedience, marking paths, Magi alight.
When losing sight of stellar sign, in Jerusalem they did quick inquire,
at palace great, to a king divined; hoped route, from Herod, to acquire.

We saw a star (when in the east) and have come to render our obeisance,
said light has left us briefly, too the wakes of our continuance.
While in the kingdom his star was seen, glancing eyes into glass orbs stared.
Expectant sighs at skies portending, bejeweled fingers into cauldrons stirred.
A caravan of mystics then gathering, consigned to cross harsh lands at night.
Postured gifts, too much appeasing, a source of imminences, expelling light.
Great Herod stirred with agitation, “Summon to me, scribes and priest,”
and they spoke to him of Bethlehem, from whence shall come a Jewish King.
Elsewhere God’s swift messenger, arrives with tidings of glad news:
Rejoice! Rejoice for the Lamb’s shepherd! Blessed are borne Jacob’s sons to truth.
That one drawing light from the light’s giver, firstborn of heaven’s womb.
He has taken breath that men be delivered, fear no more, door’s enclosing tombs.

One question, in cautious need; discerns plucked from common threads.
What purposed such judicious leads, as that star’s light to Jesus led?
What cause that such symbol did cease, perhaps a plan most devious shed?
To turn also eyes of Herod east, these, jealous guards of scriptures read.
Oh bright stars over Christendom, look! Your beam’s a turning compass,
your ray, as flames with many tongues, scouring Earth in hopes of bliss.
Misleading truths, mounting traditions, swallowed lies drunk from waters shallow.
The wise one is made fool again, if needs a lamp, above a Christ we can follow.
With signs, divinities are misconstrued, as such, a star; still you teach our youth?
As light into the night deludes, beware, convincing knees to bending truths.
It was a night,very dark night
no moon and not its small light in the sky
so dark,everywhere dark
sitting alone a girl in her window all night gazing that sky
with full of hope in her watery eyes,
that a blinking object she will definitely find,
which she knows-it's her and will always be looking at her,
no matter it is day or night.
still dark and no hope of single light in that night,
but waiting, wants to wave her hand, talk, and cry,
to say how much she loves him,
how much she misses him,
again wants to say please come back,
to that blinking object in the sky,
which is a STAR, THE MOST BRIGHTEST, SHE COULD ALWAYS SEE AND FIND
oh! almighty,have you made that star to go away somewhere?
she asked......sighes.........took a long deep breath
with the sharp pain she feels at that time
in the middle of her chest everywhere,
with teary eyes,
BUT,
still smiling to welcome,
still strong and lots of hopes in her heart ,
that her star will come and twinkle above her window, beside.
gathering all the memories as much she recognize
as once she was told,
that every beloved becomes STAR after they died
AND she is convinced and has been waiting so long,
that her beloved star will come back twinkling
and she will say,
“HE IS MY DAD”..........................
-this poem is dedicated to my father who always taught me to always love and care

Blessed are the Ones,
Who follow in the footsteps of our Creator, living to spread His word
They find their way home when temptation has made them turn
Blessed are the Ones,
Who are always ready and willing to answer to the call
They keep us safe from harm as the darkness begins to fall
Blessed are the Ones,
Who save the lives of those whom had no hope left that they would live
They spend years preparing themselves just for the moments that they can give
Blessed are the Ones,
Who greet the less fortunate with open arms allowing them to see
That there are good people left, the world is not such an awful place to be
Blessed are the Ones,
Who give us hope and strength when the light is fading out
They fuel our faith and help to clear away our many doubts
Blessed are the Ones,
Who are never selfish, they are here to assist in anyway they can
They do good only because their hearts tell them to, no need to understand
Blessed are the Ones,
Who stand strong in the face of evil and never turn to walk away
With no fear at all of losing as they keep all the demons at bay
Blessed are the Ones,
Who teach us as we grow, giving us the knowledge needed to succeed
They show such patience and virtue as they take on this sometimes-arduous deed
Blessed are the Ones,
Who have strong moral values, so much honor and integrity
They show us the light at those times when we are not quite able to see
Blessed are,
The angels as they watch over us from the glorious heavens above
They have proven they earned their wings, as they offer us so much love
The End
By Greg P
Before I bulit the wall every terrorist of torment...at my expense,would make long
and short distance,close encounter,house calls
Laughing as I'd crawl into a corner
I'd long desperately to disappear...full of fright and full of fear
Clapping and cheering and singing their savage songs
Bricks onto bricks...I built a strong and mighty wall
Behind the wall made of a heart of stone and a head of steel
Never believing the lie
Not believing what's real
No love...No light...No deal
Keep the bad ones out and the good ones to
Deserted on an island full of isolation blues
Paying my debts...paying my dues
Walking alone in solitary shoes
From the east to the west my wall I could see
From the ground to the sky my wall eclpised eternity
I could hear Gods spoken words from a distance just like thunder
I could hear His angels sing until I could not sleep or slumber
Loneliness to lunacy one brick crumbled then another
Sunlight shooting in bringing life instead of emptiness and hunger
Beyond the wall I see dark and light each day still I keep a brick or two just to keep
me sound and safe
With Gods angels and His agents they keep the worthless and the wicked far away
Now I can live a life that has purpose,plans,and peace
God gives me His discernment and it disarms destructions deeds
I don't have to isolate and shun the world...all creatures great and small
Because I'm living in the light and I live beyond the wall
When light passes between the smoke and mirrors
Evil illusions of the specter of lies disappear
Keep the light between you and he
The other is a Pharisee fantasy
The true truth sets us free
The thief revealed he always steals
Blood spilled the veil torn
You must again be born
A Spirit love and truth as we yet without sin the Lord Jesus
You can not steal from one
Who has given everything
You will receive if you ask for truth
Don’t be deceived by perception
It's used in deception just believe
Jesus the messiah set you free
You are free indeed if you only ask
Evil illusions of the specter of lies disappear
When light passes between the smoke and mirrors
Feed the white light for me....
feed the white light for me....
feed the white light for me....
feed the white light!
Your heart in my hand
your blood on my skin
you look into my face
but you dont see me...
hands firmly grappling the neck
the nails deep in the flesh
I whisper in your ear
but you dont hear me...
Do you hear the angels singing???
do you feel their soft wings???
has the wait been worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
do you see the white light???
Do you hear the angels singing???
do you hear the harps???
wasn't suffering worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
don't you see heaven???
Your breath in my hand
your tears on my skin
I press you firmly to me
but don't you feel me...
fingers softly stroke the stomach
the body's screaming response
I moan in your ear
but you don't hear me...
Do you hear the angels singing???
do you feel their soft wings???
has the wait been worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
do you see the white light???
Do you hear the angels singing???
do you hear the harps???
wasn't suffering worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth???
have you climbed the mountain???
don't you see heaven???
A very large auction was held one day
For all the lost souls who had passed away
A strong fiery man stood straight and tall
And called his price for them one and all!
I bid on each one there in that line
I want them, you hear, THEY'RE MINE ALL MINE!
They took no time, to learn the truth!
Look at their souls; see there's your proof!
Then suddenly a silence came over them all
For a Beautiful Light fell over that hall!
The strong fierce man seemed suddenly on fire
For he knew right then what was to transpire!
SET THOSE FREE WHO BELIEVED said the voice from the Light
It was I who paid it all that dark lonely night!
These souls can't pay the price, for their future, you see
It must be My blood that sets them free!
Not one was pulled from that long, long line
The Light passed over, but not one could HE find?
The strong evil man screamed loud to all
NO NO look again these turned from your call.
They heard your promise and though it was good
They did not believe and beside me stood!
Quickly the light faded, total darkness fell still
Then the wails and moans came loud and shrill
For it was too late, the gavel slammed down
SOLD to the man where darkness is found!
Sold now forever to burn and pay
Oh why, Oh why, did they turn away?
I believe in more than just what I can see.
For faith is the substance of that, that is yet unseen.
I believe that a man I have yet to meet, laid down his life for me.
And I know that it was his sacrifice that washed me clean.
I believe that he gave his whole life, to give to me.
And one day all will bow, every head, every knee.
I believe that all things happen for a reason
And each of us are called to love and lead
I believe that we are only passing through for a season.
So we must plant carefully the truth, when it is a seed.
I believe someday we will all take our place.
And that I will thank him face to face.
Someday we will have arrived in the place we will abide.
There will be neither darkness nor fear.
For we will all stand in the light of the Son.
And there will be a great wiping away of every tear.
We will come into your kingdom as one.
To sit at the foot of the throne,
To stand in his presence, in a warm embrace.
He’ll take me in, and say “My child, I have never forsaken, nor left you alone.”
And the light of his smile will shine on my face.

Insanity is like beauty
In the eye of the beholder
At least that is what she had to believe
The memory of her mother
Boucing off the padded walls
Chilled her
No candle could light her up
From the dark spot of that time in her mind
But the Holy Spirit is not a candle
Nor a flashlight
Nor any ordinary thing
Industrial strength brilliance at the speed of God!
She reruns yesterday through her mind
That Halloween party
She in her hippy jeans
And with her heart on her sleeve
No one stomped on it
And she was so relieved
Now she sits and hears the political chatter
She doesn't shatter
November 4 is right around the corner
And she thinks she knows what she will do
Praying us all through.
Beauty is like hope
It thrives
Best in sunshine
But can bloom in darkness
And she is aware that inner loveliness
Is so much more dear
Hope is like faith
It floats
And the feather is as light as a summer breeze
The leaves fall
And she smiles
She loves the snow
Lost & Found
Lost in Darkness is where I stood
But imminent I've seen THEE gracious hand
A Daring light I wont resist and fight
Pride stumbles me
So its quickly out of sight
When the ground shook
My troubles appeared
Clinging to flesh
But speedily they all disappeared
But from the midst came a promising glory
one who nourished me
and your plan is to set me free
From uncontrollable sin, to keep the light from growing dim
Show us how to walk in your presence
Fulfilling your will through our essence
I repent and therefore Zealous, So please tell us
As a Father and Majesty, show us the way to Mt. Calvary
to wash my robe in the blood of the lamb
So when I come to you I can never be banned
I was lost now I'm found
Thanks to the almighty I shall never drown
