Be Thankful For the Desolate Dark Times

We regret words said; causing others pain
And before we know it, friendships are slain
We can't stop spiraling thoughts in our minds
But only be guided with words so kind
We can't force man to look into their souls
We can only help and hope they will know
to contemplate and to better themselves
in helping their character to excel

Be thankful for the desolate dark times
They're our life's trials made of building blocks
forming our resilience and our rock
Be thankful for the hardships and sorrow
That brought a feeling inside so hollow
That tears us apart but then passes by
And the distress of life that makes us cry
Be thankful to God for pain that has passed
Taught us that whirlwinds of torment don't last

The cup is half full, never half empty
From our fervent hardships stems plenty
Of blessings around us. Reap them gently!
Sweet Life will never be a blissful breeze
Assurance and hopefulness are the keys 
For verily after hardship comes ease


*Note to the reader
This is a motivational poem which is firstly a reminder to myself but also meant for anybody and everybody who is going through hardship. Soon the sun will shine and there will be light. Be patient and soon you will see light at the end of the tunnel.

Wems Henry Temmy Psalm 12

Peace without a piercing police 
Pictures partial pressure from Pilate
But when problem post players on duty
Then true disciples' hearts show beauty 
I become a burning offering in the hand of fiery furnace 
In close proximity to my unaccountable sternness

Behind the need of my annoyance is His deviance from humans' eyes' acquaintance
To a nailed abundance in availability cum anytime, my Blessed Assurance

Scary tale of my untold challenge among Noble
If I tell to all ears probably would have get me ennoble 
But firstly I charge my lips against the snitch 
Cool and calm with foaming wounds so hard to stitch 
Yet, I am surrounded by vicious darling beasts 
Standing despite known of the power in the name of the Holy Priest of priests

Sure spirit alert in Him and all wonders done yet Judas fear not such act
As unknown to him let it be to mine he is making brio protract 

Pointless view as background of checkmate 
To the ego that boost enemies' pride of  hate
Is the energy calling unto love to rise 
And act accordingly without staging any deceitful eye
But all in all, I know the perished adorable one
Will still not count it a grace rather make out only fun

Let s/he be known for the agony of h/her plot
That the chart fits perfectly a good turnaround lot 

Violence keep up pace with peace in silent trouble
Yet, with smile everyone dines as brothers for cheers to double
Lest relationship becomes a rubbling affair 
Running in a circle of lifeless concern less occupied to repair 
The mighty giant's warfare up against benevolence
With piercing heart, pure eyes viewing violence
 
Without hesitation I call, on the Name of the Lord. 
I know He saves; for my prayer, won’t be ignored. 

Praise be to the Name of Jesus
For through it, world becomes no bonus
To deceitfulness in particular of Satan
That all one by one would become an aten 
What more to attribute great CHEAT to the heavenly Judas ever live
In his allusive acts, pleasing canal; ever active

Save us from all form of deceitfulness with heart 
That fallacy stopped by to be not seen an art 

Amen!

Premium Member After Death Where Will We Be

Firstly let me be clear what I believe
the existence of heaven and hell is real
in the scriptures that's abundantly clear
all have sinned but God's love seeks to heal

Like me you need faith to believe
so let's think of those who can't so they say
they reckon there's no evidence of God
nothing happens for them even if they pray

They see a world of so much trouble
people dying from cancer, it's so unfair
now there's Covid-19 what's it all about?
life goes from birth to death, does God care?

Life goes around all in a spiral
nothing changes much year by year
one certainty death is on the way
can't be avoided as with many a tear

After death where will we be?
it's certain no one know's for sure
but God gifts faith for believers
trust God's word to bring home a cure

( I was asked recently "Do you believe the existence of Heaven and Hell?"
"Are Heaven and Hell the only places to go after life?"
So this is written in response to these questions.)

Premium Member Interview with the Colour Blue

“Colours are precious jewels of sky and earth, no one could put a value on their worth.”
* * *
Firstly tell me why you are always blue
”It's my true colour, I was born this hue.”

Ever desire to alter your colour
”No, I am me and wouldn't be another.”

Why do you adore being blue always
”Just look at the sky, blue brightens our days.”

Indeed it does, but what happens at night
”I become midnight blue when stars shine bright.”

So you were not quite truthful at the start
”I was, my colour deepens when it's dark.”

Is there a reason why blue suits you best
”Because blue is nicer than all the rest.”

Are you ever down because you are blue
”Blue makes me feel heavenly, and that’s true.”

Do you mean that it’s blue in paradise
”That is the image held in my mind’s eye.”

Can you say that when you don’t abide there
 ”I am blue and I have been everywhere.”

It’s been grand talking to you mister blue
”Thank you, visit me soon on Blue Bayou.”

Premium Member A Morning Walk Along the River Ness

Taking a lovely morning walk along the Ness
while spending a few days at Inverness
this walk has many grand features on its way
get the winter clothing on, no need to fashion dress

We pass firstly 3 statutes - faith, hope, and charity
at a small garden near the church at Ness bank
then further along a memorial for Elizabeth Caveth
a WW1 nurse who saved lives then, many gave thanks

Many of nature's highlights may be seen nearby
having some trees with a fountain at the side
along with red squirrels, otters, herons, and bats
on this Ness island such delights on your ride

The river glides past the island on either side
it can be dangerous as its fast flows so deep
this is in middle between a couple of suspension bridges
these were built in 1828 still standing strong to keep

Walking over onto the island you'll find 'Nessie'
the wooden version that's motionless and still
then there's a small amphitheater so grand
where in the 50s summer dancing was the drill

Coming back to the city on the west bank
passing the RNI* chapel and Eden Court theatre
which is a lovely mixture of old and new
St Andrews Cathedral then highlights the highest rank

In coming back along to the city look up high
your eyes feast on the castle along the skyline
well, a lovely way to spend a January morning
strolling along the River Ness, a joy so very fine

(*Royal Northern Infirmary (hospital).

(I have written this piece having spent a few days in the city of Inverness last month, the unofficial capital of the Scottish Highlands.)

Premium Member Freedom Fire

From folly’s flaw, for truth I fled
fiercely fueled, freely faith*-led…

…feeling flared, fearing falling
forward faring, fully unfailing…

…firstly fixed, reinforced to follow
fairly framed for fulfillment-flow...

...freedom from God of salvation-flight
feast of my soul from hell-fight's fright,

*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Premium Member The Kiss of Back

================================================
"Your enemies know you, as you know them, and truth bears on--face to face ... The Mirror Cracks ... Your friends know you, as you know them, and truth bears on--face to back," by the Poet.

An individual's 
persona can be 
best attributed
via personal 
experiences
whether it'd 
be direct or indirect. 
The fault should not bear 
any guilt by association as 
said associates will fall into 
the category firstly as family
entities and secondaries will 
be entities having a consistent 
presence in an individual's life 
that might link to a lifetime. So
entry into the pictured flames 
still as negatives and yet to be 
properly processed are these so-
called Johnny-come-lately's and Mary-had-her-li'l-lamb-swaps in their negative Point of View, see their attributes being threatened as an infection forming on the life that they feel fits into this, --meaning their world best, especially not giving in to sharing--heaven forbid--as an inch 
take a mile concept kicks in, such       B     E
are the so-called contributors they   T   e      t
are the Kiss of Back (a pun on the       r    t
Death adage). Beware of the Trojan   J  a    r       t
Horse that you have welcomed like     u   i    a       u
lambs for the slaughter, gullible prey    d   t    y
traitor in the midst hides the wolf         a    o    e
amongst the lambs, celebrating his       s     r     d
salivating salvation from starvation
by idiocies, --in-sync from behind.

Premium Member Audrey and Sidney - a Class of Their Own

Two stars of a former age
they were a class of their own
superlatives cover them all over
bound for stardom before been known

Firstly a real lady of regal renown
Ms. Hepburn indeed Audrey by name
this lady was an actress so lovely
so attractive even before her true fame

'Breakfast in Tiffanys' and 'Funny Face'
fab movies along with 'Roman Holiday'
Belgium born in '29, passed away in '93
such a loss at 63, still with memories today

Now to make the perfect movie match
Sidney Poitier comes on the scene
one extraordinary human being indeed
and a mighty fine actor to have seen

So influential in so many movies
bringing hope to those of his colour
breaking the racial barriers of his day
such inspiration fully technicolor

'Guess who's coming to dinner'
the movie that brought SP fame
I love it, love to watch it again
renowned for making his name


(Sidney Poitier (1927-2022)
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)
Some thoughts on two of the finest movie stars and human beings who walked this earth, so just some thoughts on the highlights of their lives.)

The Soldier Guard At the Tomb

I was silently watching the two Mary’s sigh and cry, 
When the earthquake hit and I just wanted to cover, 
The ground nearly parted and there was no-one to chi, 
I hit the deck for stones from the tomb threw over. 

Covering my head with my hands and laying tight up, 
I was aware of the two Mary’s moving over speedily, 
To the tomb stone to take advantage of the windup, 
Which just contributed to the terror weighing heavily. 

After six minutes it ceased, and peace did administer, 
The two of them were straight at the caster right in there, 
But I needed another while to recover from the disaster, 
So just sat looking firstly at the grass, then over there. 

By the time I got them they’d given the body determinedly, 
To the gardener who already had lit it and was fanning it, 
So I ran as fast as a chicken away from a fox very quickly, 
Up the mountain to get my head straight to think about it. 

I worked it out that I had to talk with the two Mary’s, 
Because I also appreciated what Jesus did when alive,  
Since he had cured my cousin from quadriplegic paralysis, 
Such that this cousin’s possibility was now to thrive. 

So I did decide to accept Mary’s plans of ingenuity, 
For the continuation of her son’s work with the poor, 
Which would change medical services directivity, 
From the rich monopoly over to with anyone to moor. 

The two woman’s plans would ignite a movement, 
Start a Society, organisation or group to proclaim,  
That the way to live was through love’s enrichment, 
Not by class prized, but by living everyday in His name. 

So we talked, and the two women promised me silence,
About my failure to keep the stone which sealed the tomb, 
If I kept silence about them having a stealing licence, 
And about their real physical action of removing the womb. 

So that was how the resurrection myth took off, started, 
That was how it began, it did come from two parties, 
From the Roman soldier representing the state above, 
And from Jesus’ kin representing the people’s armies. 

I don’t think Christianity would’ve occurred without, 
The soldier man Roman guard of the tomb believing, 
In Jesus plight and in the right of a movement, shout, 
About Jesus, through the religion of Christianity aging.
