Cat and mouse
Within a garden somewhere out there,
butterflies were dancing free from care.
Thousands of flowers loving the dance,
love the lovers and loving romance.
A lot of butterflies full of lust,
drinking and dancing in love they trust.
Daffodil pitchers filled with the wine,
drinking that wine was wholly, divine.
Roses and jasmines fully bloomed,
enchanted aromas sweetly perfumed.
From its hiding a devious mouse,
saw the butterflies right from his house.
He ran to the garden, chased the fly,
grabbed him tightly, bit him to die.
Ate him like candy tenderly sweet,
the smell of jasmines made it complete.
Loving his food and loving its taste,
the mouse was happy nothing got waste.
Until he saw a ghostly shape,
scary giant, he couldn’t escape.
There was a cat with a smiley face,
growled and meowed and started the chase.
Running like wind, he didn’t gave in,
hunting for food is never a sin.
He grabbed the mouse in a playful way,
ate him so fast then rested all day.
The mouse tasted like jasmine and rose,
the flavor of butterfly joined with those.
The cat was happy and licked his paws,
adored his power sharpened his claws.
Until the next day there was a dog,
with big shaggy tail, fat like a hog.
Ugly and old he ran after cat,
hunted the cat and ate him like rat.
The dog was old and his fate foretold,
he died in winter when air was cold.
He died and buried and turned to dust
nothing can escape from time and rust.
The months have passed and years gone by,
what else can we do except comply?
Living and dying is a part of life.
Life and death are in constant strife.
The flesh of the dog made the jasmines grew,
butterflies came with their lives renew.
Roses and lilies grew one more time,
butterflies dancing, dancing in rhyme.
Another mouse and another cat,
the playful cat, that ate up the rat.
Another dog and another feast,
after a while the death chose the beast.
Life is a circle, circle like a chain.
Everything goes and comes back again.
There will be death for me and you,
like roses and jasmines lives renew.

See the sure truth that now conspires,
Move that sane proof in grand attire.
Live this new day with laughter dear,
Love comes to play with message clear.
Sense joy profound that fills your soul,
Be sight and sound in passage whole.
Wit sings of pun when jest greets joy,
Feast where you run as quest meets ploy.
Time fills the space with mortal grief,
Heart seeds the trace of feelings brief.
Too soon the wick blown with the wind,
Moments now tick away unseen.
Coming feeds time as going will,
Static the rhymes that cannot fill.
By these sad shores the tragic toils,
Lust gathers more of foreign spoils.
All seems in vain if you must know,
Empty these gains that empty shows.

But why, Lord? Why do we suffer so?
Why must the innocent reap what they don’t sow?
Why bear the weight of sins before our birth,
Punished for shadows we never put to earth?
Why do we reach, and still our hands come bare?
Why do we lose what our hearts need most to care?
Why does every love we plant end in thorns and rain?
Why does hatred root while kindness dies in pain?
Why, Lord, this line drawn in skin and name?
Why does the color of us spark the fire of shame?
Why must we beg for water, pay for air,
For a world You gave us yet we’re told “not fair”?
Why must we dig to find the gift inside,
While others feast and we are left outside?
Why is one table full and one table bare?
Why does one child laugh while one gasps for air?
Why do the wicked rise and seem to stay?
Why do the righteous fall and fade away?
Why is sickness swift, and healing slow?
Why is happiness a seed so hard to grow?
Oh God, I’m asking not in doubt, but need
To understand the soil where all these questions feed.
I see the devil laughing in the green,
I see Your children hungry, unseen.
But even here, Lord, in the dark I pray:
If suffering is the road, then walk it with me today.
If love is hard to find, then teach my heart to see
That maybe all these “whys” are leading me to Thee.
So I’ll lay my questions down, not to pretend they’re gone,
But to trust the One who holds both dusk and dawn.
For if the rich and poor must drink from the same rain,
Then let Your mercy fall and wash away the pain.
Amen. And still why, Lord? And still I trust.
As soon as I sit
There’s a bird at my feet,
Just checking to see
If I’ve something to eat.
I don’t feed the pigeons
Or sparrows I see.
The crumbs that they want
Come from others, not me.
They soon figure out
That no treats I’ll supply,
So a couple of pecks,
And they take to the sky.
I’ll give them some credit
For trying, at least.
Each person who sits
Holds a possible feast.
Reminds me of those
Who play Lotto each week.
They never give up
As their fortune they seek.
The odds are the same
As the pigeons who’ve been
Thinking one of these days
They will certainly win!
Hello, you may all call me Lucifer.
I dearly, want to be the best of friends.
And I, wish that none will ever suffer.
For I'll, defend all my friends till time ends.
I, have remedies for the sick and sad.
I'll, be listening when no one else is.
You, can look to me when your feeling mad.
And, when it comes to revenge I'm a whiz.
All kidding aside, I just want your soul.
I'll, make false promises, to earn your trust.
So, I can feast upon your sad heart whole.
If there's any fuss, I'll make you combust.
For I, am as evil as they come.
With, my artillery of trickery.
That I, will use on the weak to succumb.
To, an eternity of misery.
Heed this warning, for you can not turn back.
If, you don't trust in God your soul is mine.
Then, my army of darkness will attack.
Once caught, your soul, I'll forever confine.

Once upon a midnight, ghostly,
Partied many, dead ones mostly.
Feasting in the graveyard, sprightly,
White eyed werewolves gorged, engrossedly.
In the bone yard, drab and squalid,
Apparitions (staring stolid
Neath the veiled moon, clouded lightly)
Sought fresh bodies, lean but solid.
Fiendish eyes shone, light and sparkly,
Ghouls and demons danced so darkly.
Maggots munching mush unsightly,
Black blood streamed like ink, quite starkly.
Fetid flesh oozed, flowing freely
Through the crypt doors, cold and steely.
Shadows, ashen, pranced contritely,
Ebon serpents slithered eely.
As it happens, all too often,
Zombies dimly closed the coffin –
Ra, the sun god, rising slightly
Hunger pangs were soon to soften.
If you ask, I’ll tell you blankly,
When you’re feeling dark and dankly
Come to where this happens nightly.
They’ll enjoy the feast, quite frankly...
I think we are ment
To be together source of light
Give me one hour
of your precious time
I will give you
a brand new life
As this earth changes around
growing inside our union
The pathway
is clear cut diamond
as you command
the rising deep ocean waves
I warmly salted them with spices
As they rise and fall calming ocean breaths
Softly mesmerised
loving your beauty
Turning the wheel
steering this ship
blowing in one direction sings
I hunger your love
Source of each other
Can be found a million miles away
we feast at the alter of purity
With wings we fly together from the final table
Moving along in the pilgrim way
making sure it's very circumspect
so every step is taken carefully
avoiding every kind of insect
To make it further along pathway
a little speeds needed be fast
so the enemy's kept behind you
get dancing that's the task
These toes need to be busy dancing
moving at speed keep ahead of game
winning your spiritual battle to victory
dance along together burning aflame
Make the divine word be a real feast
dance among it's pages fill the mind
gather this eternal truth for production
for in God's kingdom it's light for blind
Down on your knees crying aloud
to spiritual dance as you pray
looking to God to come down
dance along in the spirit each day

“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”*
Such is my Saviour’s loving assurance
While He sails with me along life’s vast sea
In His peace-boat midst voyage endurance.
With God, my journey becomes victorious
He upholds me in facing challenges
Bracing my faith for worship that’s glorious
So I can row well in service-plunges.
In Christ, I enjoy my spiritual ride
While succouring others by His grace-might
Praying, reaching-out with compassion’s stride
Triumphing to do what’s best, true and right.
Arriving at the Lord’s blessing-pasture
We feast while our boat waits for next venture.
*Hebrews 13:5
