Dancing With the Spirit Part 2

The Spirit of the Lord is not mentioned often in the Holy Scriptures 
But if you read the book of Acts you will get the full gospel picture 
Of the power of the Holy Spirit and what It can do
Of the power that God has and how it can delight in you

When you dance with the Spirit your priorities will be rearranged 
When you dance with the Spirit your whole outlook on life will change 
Understand that God desires to be in relationship with us totally 
God wants to be a part of our triumphs and our tragedies 
God wants us to dance with HIm in true harmony 
Cheek to cheek hand in hand is how God wants it to be 

Now when the Spirit comes its more than an emotional two step move 
When the Spirit comes it comes in a full transformal groove 
To touch our souls, to open our hearts and to strengthen our minds
The Spirit wants to dance with us in a manner most kind
The Spirit wants to move us out of our brokenness and our mess
The Spirit wants to call us out on those things we need to address 
To not be so concerned about what society has to say
To not be overwhelmed by life's circumstances as we journey on our way 
Now dancing with life, full of joy and spiritually purified 
Cleansed of those things that God sees as being  horrified 
Baptized by water and forged by the fire of spiritual transformation 
A new creation in Christ now housed on a new foundation 

Dancing with the Spirit jitterbugging with the Lord Christ 
Doing the spiritual salsa, the holy hustle and the tango for the rest of my life 
No longer will I define myself by my worst experience thus far
I'm now dancing with the Spirit no longer bitter nor faint of heart
Stepping out of the boat with courage and holiness abound
A new adjective before my name as the spirit in me has been found
No longer crackhead Sue but now Life Coach Susan
No longer drunken Joe but now Detective Joseph the man

Now dancing with the Spirit delivered from the adversary 
Full of godly power to fight against my enemies 
I'm dancing the merengue, the cha cha and the samba with the Holy Spirit 
I'm dancing the swing, the bolero and the mambo as I'm now with it
Dancing with the Spirit I'm doing the jive
Dancing with the Spirit and I'm feeling so alive 
Doing the gospel waltz, the holy hip-hop and the heavenly electric slide 
I'm dancing with the Holy Spirit cheek to cheek side by side

The Kaz Groove

a woman ask whats wrong with me
that some thing is not the same
she said she still see the fire 
but what happen to the flame

her words take me by surprise
because i didn't notice this before
so i start looking at my self
but cant find the kaz groove no more

lately i been under the weather
with some normal daily stress
but i never let it affect me
because i always rise to the test

now this person in front the mirror
looks like some one i know
but i don't recognize him
where did the kaz groove go

the kaz is really a cool guy
just like a cold Carib beer
but i not see the kaz groove again
looks like he drop it somewhere

he use to be a ladies candy
with words sweet like honey
but now he is like a dinner mint
with no sugar like a diet Pepsi

i,m not seeing the kaz groove
that he always have with him
or maybe he is giving it a rest
and just keeping it hidden

he came from Trinidad with the groove
and he use it across america 
the kaz groove was a chick magnet
like a Mercedes Benz and BMW motorcar

the kaz won dancing competitions
and won best looking at a bazaar
and when goes disco dancing
they use to call him John Travolta

he always have the groove with him
and the girls like him every where
the kaz was like a rear bottle of wine 
but now he is just like a Mexican beer

the girls use to ask him out 
he never once ask a girl for a date
the kaz groove was like a treat
you would see on the ladies plate

he use to be a fashion designer
making suits and beautiful women dress
and if you ask any one in Trinidad
they would he say the kaz was the best

and any sports games he played
he was always the best naturally
and every thing he cooks is so tasty
and some say he writes some nice poetry

"i love myself better than i love my self "
a big hit song by comedian bill Cosby
that song bring out a 'dog dance competitions
and the kaz clean house and take the trophy

the kaz with the smooth dancing move
and the original heart breaker
i don't see him these days at all
looks like he moving undercover

where has the kaz groove gone?
maybe the winter is to cold
and he saving it for the spring break
to bring back the kaz groove to the world

i know very soon the grove will be back
but i just have to wait and see
because i know the kaz groove
is here to stay till eternity

Oddra's Parroty

Oddra was a little birdie who was locked in her gold guilt cage.  
On the eve of her destruction she was too quick in throwing down her page.  
Serendipity had led her to the most wonderful birdie carnival in town.
Little then, did any know, that soon would come WWE, Smack Down.
She spread her wings and danced and sang and flitted all about.
The she started out and shared a bit….OK…she shared a lot!
She was in her groove!  Or At least that’s what she thought.
This is when the lines got crossed, causing the great confusion.
That escalated to pointing fingers blame and accusation of delusion.
Unfortunately, her listening was selective.   So this is all she heard,
whispers,  “What kind of bird is that, a loon, a coo-coo bird?”
“She looks a little parroty to me”.  Writing on the wall read, “sitting duck”
Unwittingly she’d stepped on toes, as misconceptions flowed both ways.
She had no idea that some had known her from before, in better days.
She did not hear nor see them. Did not hear them rapping at her door.
The kept reaching out a hand to say hello. She appeared to just ignore.
Who’d be talking to her there?  She’d never been there before. 
She completely missed her half of her poor friend’s ironic one way conversation.
She shared again, totally unrelated, that fit in perfect context as brutal provocation. 
After this, the demarcation line of friend and foe becomes a little blurry.
Each perceived the others actions as offensive resulting in actions of fury.
Hold a pen in front of you, from end to end, creates a line.
But hold looking down its barrel and it’s circular in design.
Both are true, and also both are lies.  In the end they’re both the same.  
Is an Oddra not an Oddra even with a different name?
Here’s my stamp, Divine Design; classic, tragedy and comedy.  That was the only 
mask.
Oddra, cursed the circled ones. The lines, drawn in the sand, doomed her as their 
task.
The lines devised a brilliant plan:  having placed some peas around a hole they’d 
made in some ice, 
“Apocapus”, as she’d been dubbed, “She has to pee sometime, When she comes up 
to take a pea
 we’ll kick her in the ice hole.”  
There it is my friends.  Oddra was Slammed dunked!! 
This is just tale.  I to this I will fully digress, I am a very Odd Duck!!!
There were those too, caught in the middle, undeserved bad luck!!

The Solitary Tear

Aurora stood at the gravesite close to Robert’s casket on the bier
 “Look at her, why I’ve yet to see a tear”
The lady whispered to the other so Aurora could hear
“Her dress is disrespectful; it’s a heartless thing to wear
“My heart bleeds for her husband lying there”
This was Robert’s favorite dress and he always used to say
 “Aurora, wear it for me when I ‘go away’
If you care and I know you do you’ll dare!
Aurora, promise me please no tears
We’ve known this moment was coming for almost two years.”

Aurora saw a man appear under the oak tree on the knoll
It was Robert walking in an unhurried stroll!
He used the “royal wave” he liked to imitate
Aurora repeated it in reverse, she didn’t even hesitate
She saw and felt him there emotionally reacting
Intellectually realizing “this can’t be happening!”
Staring at each other across the expanse of lawn
Sharing a last loving communication not as two but one
Robert blew her a kiss and walked out of sight
Trembling wildly, Aurora fought to stay upright.

A solitary tear fell from Aurora’s eye, she felt it descending
In slow passage down her cheek carving a groove blistering
Stories abound about this unique and mysterious solitary tear
Report it happens infrequently, only every several years
How or why the tear finds its mourner cannot be explained 
The tear’s origin and source has yet to be discovered or named.
It’s said that a person’s intensity of inexpressible feelings
Make the tear appear by their profound grieving. 

Aurora, like others, is disorganized and unfocused following Robert’s death
Making endless adjustments, trying to catch a breath
One day she touches the scar on her cheek made by that solitary tear
Her mind clears and it becomes an amazing day without confusion or fear
Salvation and comfort take many forms if you pray
Especially if you believe what God imparts in His way
She finally understands that Robert’s soul and spirit were not lost to her
And that living isn’t meant to be a meaningless blur
Robert rejoiced in living and in his love for her taught her to feel the same
They had priceless moments together more than she could count or name
And she starts recalling all the memories they made while husband and wife
Who’s to say what or whom finally brought Aurora back
And gifted her with a tender and loving renewal of her life.

Eternity To Enjoy It

I barely notice the horse as he walks,
his gait is so incredibly smooth,
we’ve been riding all morning on this ridge,
and have settled down into a nice groove.

My friend Joshua rides just behind me,
drinking in this Rocky Mountain scene:
cool breeze, bluebird skies, and a well-marked trail,
with sweeping views right out of a dream.

We’ve been riding for a few days now,
the trip has been nothing but sublime.
“Around the next ridge,”Joshua says,
“We’ll come upon the town of Centerline.”

The thought of a drink, a shave, and hot bath
puts a smile across my tanned face,
so we ride around a pillar of stone,
and gaze down a hill upon the small place.

It’s then that I sensed something not quite right,
I had been to Centerline before.
Where was the highway, the exit ramp?
What had happened to the big box stores?

And why could I see, sharp as a hawk,
when there were no glasses upon my head?
Why were my forearms smooth and muscled,
and why were loose strands of my hair dark red?

What was I even doing riding a horse?
Doctor told me to stop ten years back.
And I should be meeting my son for lunch,
then going to see his boy up at bat!

Joshua sighed,”It can take some time,
for the spirit to accept the change.
Your heart gave out in the shower this morn,
I’m afraid you’ll miss your grandson’s game.”

I turned and realized that I had not
seen this Joshua before that ride,
in fear I blurted,”Who are you man?
And why do you talk as if I’ have died?”

He just smiled, said,”You know who I am,
I’ve carried you when your legs grew weak.
And you know exactly where you are,
it’s the place your soul always did seek.

“You always did love those western tales,
even though you knew they were fantasy.
On Earth, perhaps, but I think you’ll find
that here there is nothing beyond me.

“All the questions spinning in your head
will be answered, have no fear of this.
This world that we’re in is your heaven,
and we’ve eternity to enjoy it.”

I knew at that point that I should speak up,
but couldn’t find words to put to my friend,
he just grinned, said,”There is no need to fear,
you’re going to see all of them again.”

And just like that the worry vanished,
and the only thing that was on my mind
were thoughts of that bath, whiskey, and a shave,
so we rode on down to Centerline.

Smiling Faces

SMILING FACES
Intro: shalom, hi, hey and hello,
welcome to my poem called smiling faces, where all faces are not the SAME.
But some of them, are the face of FAME. And others, are the face of SHAME.
But nonetheless, not all faces here, value their good NAME. And you know? Because some of them are full of GAMES; also out for GAMES; and so, it doesn't matter if their good NAME gets DEFAME. And so, without further a due, here's my poem called SMILING FACES; and goes a little something like this:

Sometimes, some smiling faces,  is the very FACE, that will take you PLACES.
And have you to MOVE, and get you on the GROOVE; have you to go more than a MILE.
And still, have you not to go WILD, be WILD; and also to act WILD.
And be straight foul.
But instead, some of them would PROFILE you, see your FILE; know your STYLE, while they have you to SMILE MILD like a little CHILD.
And sometimes, there are some of them, that would SKIN and GRIN with you and plus, at you, WHILE they give you ah glass of GIN to sip on; and hope that, you don't SIN, but  lift up your CHIN, while they take you IN like a true FRIEND and FAN. 
And see you through, up until you can STAND and FIEND for yourself at the very END.
For sometimes, there are some of them, who would smile at you and plus, smile with you and even smile in your face; and still think that you are a WASTE, simply  because, they cannot get into your good GRACE, SPACE, CASE; also, FACE. And so, therefore, they just want you to be out of the RACE. Because you have such ah beautiful smile, FACE, TASTE,; also PLACE. but anyway, deep down INSIDE, with  all jokes ah SIDE in some of their MINDS; also heart, BEHIND their smiles, some of them are as WILD as a CRODOCILE running on TILES. And trust me, I am not in a DENIAL. For I have been THERE; also HERE, for AWHILE; definitely I know their PROFILE; also STYLES. For  many of them are DEFILE and full of GUILE. and why is that? It is because, some of them, are always LIEING, and have something to HIDE. And so, for that reason, they are  not as open and WIDE like the blue SKIES. For many of them goes under DESGUISE and doesn't want to be RECOGNIZE for their LIES; or for being SLY. And truly that cannot FLY in my EYES, for I find them to be pretty SLY and I cannot let it FLY, SLIDE; or RIDE and DIE without keeping a close EYE.

Premium Member Move Your Body

Move Your Body

                       Get up, get up and move. 
               Keep moving to change your mood,
                to get your groove and to improve
             your muscle strength and muscle tone
                 and your whole body’s circulation.
 
            Don’t just sit there and watch television,
              play video games, chat on the phone,
              be on your computer, your cell phone
                          or let “Alexa” do it all.
  
               Move your body, it will do you good.
               Turn the music on and sway with it.
                   Start slow with your own beat.
               If you could do it faster, the better.
          If not, stay on your own rhythmic manner.

               Stretch your arms and move them.
                 Shake your legs and move them 
          and step sideways, forward and backward
               and don’t be inept or feel awkward
                   to grind and move your hips
          and try to shake your shoulders and booty.

                  Do the jerk, the twist, the bump,
                   or try whatever moves you can.
                   Slow or fast, it does not matter.
              Just keep moving, that’s what matters.
 
             Keep moving your body with the music.
    Now, you’re moving and swaying with the music. 
     You got this!..  keep doing it…  Wow! You got it.
          Keep on doing it and it becomes a habit.

            Cool, you are now exercising for free.
               You don’t even have to pay a fee
                to be a member of a fancy gym
                  or buy expensive equipment
              to get you moving and motivated.

           Stop calling "Alexa” to do simple stuff.
                You can do them, just get up
              and move to burn those calories,
     for burning them is good for your extremities.

         Keep moving your body again and again.
            When there’s no pain, there’s no gain.
               You want to look good, feel good.
                      Move your body, now!

Niap niap

Niap Niap



Niap niap, sometimes things are hard, even when written in plain sight.

Some people read backwards just for fun; for some, it’s all from sight, even when it’s not your eyes.

Sometimes it’s just the brain. Being called dumb doesn’t create any fame.

You and me — we are just not the same.



Niap niap, finding it hard to move, never even getting in any sort of groove.

Fear of falling asleep due to the pain when I wake.

When will this niap leave, for heaven’s sake?



Everyone’s different; we’re not all the same.

Some people can deal with all their pain.

Some are over it, and some just can’t compete

When the niap hits you and makes your soul incomplete.

There’s not much to do but try and sleep.



Recurring issues — it’s always a circle.

This life is a struggle; it’s not always purple.

Round and round the circle we go.

When will it stop? Our brains don’t know.

Left and right — is it all a show?

Why does it make me feel so slow?

Niap niap, just one deviation from left or right,

Just one deviation to give me a good night.

It’s always a circle.

Just remember: this life is a struggle; it’s not always purple.



Delusion, delusion — is it all in our head?

Am I reading this right, or am I just seeing red?

I don’t understand why the blur makes me cry.

Left, right, right to left — I just do not know why.

Brain is backwards; the struggle is real.

How can I keep showing that it’s not a big deal?



Body failing every night — I know I must look like a sorry sight.

I feel for my wife to see me at night,

But she’s such an angel, sent here to fight.

Without her and the kids, the demons would win,

But with them by my side, I’ll happily take it on the chin.



Recurring issues — it’s always a circle.

This life is a struggle; it’s not always purple.

Round and round the circle we go.

When will it stop? Our brains don’t know.

Left and right — is it all a show?

Niap niap, just one deviation from left or right,

Just one deviation to give me a good night.

It’s always a circle.

Just remember: this life is a struggle; it’s not always purple.



Niap niap, the struggle is real.

Remember, reading backwards isn’t a big deal.
