Me think it's true that one day time shall be no more.                                                                                                     Me think that 'mere oblivion' may be the dying wish 

of those claiming to be 'master of their own ship'.                                                                                  In eternity's world, there can be only 'One Master'.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Me think it's not true that all the world's a stage.                                                                   Notwithstanding, there are scenes enough to amaze,                                                                                              

and no shortest of interesting parts and people to engage.                                                                        A broad stage where all may and ought have their say.                                                           

But also narrow stages that invite trouble, darkening our day.                                                   A world of 'make-believe feelings of reality' that  we wish were true.                                          

Platforms and plots enough for all,  including me and you;                                                          plenty of room for the many and the few; and gifted works, old and new.                                                   

Human drama is broad and twisting; faithful as the morning dew.                                                     May all captives of ignorance and fear be released from their cage.                                                                 

Last scene, last act; and for the last time, the curtain is raised.                                                      The story line and character performance left the audience ablaze.                                                            

A staged world, one so predictable, pristine, and finite.                                                                    Eternity's world is a never ending story, and another page.                                            03242017; Premier Contest, Brian Strane

If I Once Made You Smile, Remember

*IF I ONCE MADE YOU SMILE,... REMEMBER*


If I once dropped by to give you roses
And I no longer ring your doorbell lately 
Please buy a Cologne and gift to me 
My palm may be sore with thorns wounds
Remember we all deserve sweet fragrance


If we ever went out for lunch  with the bills on me
If you don't see me go for lunch again in the name of fasting 
Do good and drop a takeaway pack for me 
I may just be broke and not saying it 
Remember we don't deserve to starve to death 

If you ever put up in my crib and we had dinner together 
If I no longer invite you for supper  
Do well to knock on my door  
The journey I told you may be a lie 
I may now be on the Street homeless 
Remember we all deserve a place to lay our heads 


If I ever cracked jokes for you to laugh 
And I now wear long face  all day
Could you please take me out to the park 
I might have soaked my pillow all night
The tears are hidden under the glands for now
Remember we all deserve happiness 


If I once made you smile  
It is time to do the same
I can't be the hero all by myself
I need you just like you need me
The sun don't rise all day
Be the light to my path at my sunset 
If I once made you smile 
Remember this is the time to do the same

Premium Member Stars In His Eyes


Just like his wrinkles,
Gray hair and distant stare
There comes a moment,
When moonlight falls on the night,
Erasing the darkness
With the shimmering of stars
Alive as the heart’s rhythmic pounding
Trembling in his expression,
Soft words pouring out of him,
Reminding me that he is such a blessing,
A treasure and a time…

Now faded, yet timeless as light
Flowing through the heart
Who believes, who can see – he is more
Than memory. 

He is the moment when hope begins,
The fire that survives life’s sin,
The feeling that bleeds joy through the bleak
The sigh that fades beneath shadow’s kiss
The silence lifted from its lonely routine,
The peppering of a heart who sways…
Beneath the prayers proving that love is a place
Beyond the doubts and the dread – love is a place
That is forever breaking through the fears and tears,
Lasting in the soul of those who see the sun
Shining in his eyes, eyes who invite the gaze
Into the affections kindled by One who led the quest
For love without end. Love that is beyond a gift
Love that is heaven sent. Love that is expressed
By the beautiful in a sunset, the wonder in the dew
The freedom of a teardrop – the worship
That comes to those who remember the blessing of God’s Son,
The One who guides the soul into a faith that is more alive
Than the moon and stars of night – more alive
Than the twinkling inside gentle eyes, more alive
Than the sensation of love that will always survive
Because this is the ONE who makes us all whole,
This is the ONE who sings grace to the soul,
This is the ONE who stills doubt and raises hope,
Hope for eternity with the ONE who is real love – genuine
Love, authentic love that can never fade away….

For this love shines brighter than the light of day
This love is the answer to every heart
This love is the promise that the soul isn’t lost
This love is the wonder that only God could have brought
The gift from One who made a way, through faith,
For our hearts and souls to pray and say… Jesus 
Is the way, the truth, the life… God’s sacrifice, His grace
The gift that assures souls they’ve forever been made whole!

Premium Member Searching My Soul

My soul seems to be hidden today.
Where can it conceal itself?
I thought it was always with me,
Roaming the endless paths
That clatter the corridors of my mind,
coursing through my arteries and veins,
invading all essential organs
that keeps me alive all day.
Maybe it flew away
Like some mad eagle that lost its way!
I will not search for it.
It will return when it feels
There is a need for it.
 
My feet follow tracks unknown
Oblivious of time and space.
I meet old friends and strangers,
I pass on,
I do not recognise their mien.
I thread through paths lined
With rampant dark green ferns,
I slush through shallow muddy pools,
I rest below the copious hedgerows.
 
Down in the valley cows are milked,
Geese cackle and cocks crow,
Cats copulate in peace.
Fragrance of new-cut hay
Makes my nostrils flare.
Smoke billows from the chimney
Of an old cottage near the farm.
Should I invite myself,
Betake a country hearty meal?
I am welcome
Urged to taste the home-brewed beer
Or the new fermented cheese.
I feel a kind of peace.
Perhaps my soul is back
Or perhaps it's the beer or the cheese.
Who can say?

Premium Member Highest and Best Use

What is our highest good
as parents,
grandparents,
children of WiseElder mentors,
mountains and valleys,
sun and moon,
planets and plants,
clouds and rivers,
trees and toads,
eagles and dragonflies,
and occasionally parents.

How do we kindly,
with integrity,
invite ourselves
our families
our tribes
and communities
toward more resilient polycultural health,
restoring justice as local through global peace,
reforesting PositivEnergy CoOperative Democracy
wherever our eyes
are happy to see?

How do we support ourselves
and our families
and resilient communities
in staying away from
pathological dangers,
chaos opposing integrity
by marketing itself
with pretentious 
mendacious Theory.

There could be no chaos theory
any more than there could be an unorganized
thoroughly dissonant system.

Where will our great grandchildren
look back to find
their most resonantly healthy WiseElder Allies?

How will they frame their,
and our WinWin game,
Great Transitional gratitude
of and for healthy ZeroZone
polycultural regeneration
across space
and through time?

Premium Member Hope Has Awakened

When Dawn resurrects Sol, a splendiferous Spring sun paints the horizon with light. And an earthy fragrance rides in on a warm morning breeze, refreshing Winter's stagnant breath amidst the remnants of death. Ostentatious songbirds tweet as children play, casually engaging innocence with a smile and a song in their hearts. Nature imbues life with a delicious sweetness, renewing the essence of hope with endless tomorrows, to offset yesterday's bitter dregs. And I bare my heart, shed my armor of skepticism, and reevaluate the future with guarded optimism upon hearing a child's spontaneous laugh. It is a good day to be alive!

Premium Member Listen to the Wind


I listen to the wind as it dries my tears 
     because its flowing current is wiser than all my years.
                                            ~ Quote by poet

Wind is never silent, echoing its cries 
   Sings in the night to stars in celestial skies 
Stories are told upon the rushing wind 
   but in the telling, never does it feel chagrined. 
Quicker than a heartbeat, it errantly flies. 

Across mountain peaks its music is heard. 
   In harmony, I listen to every word. 
I feel the cold of its temperate sting 
   and along with its beckoning lyrics, I sing. 
When its message touches me, I am stirred.   

In a gentle voice through meadows, it talks 
   Capturing my attention on morning walks 
Inviting me along with flowers to take flight  
   to soar to the moon. I'd accept the invite 
if I had pinion wings like eagles and hawks. 

I listen to the wind as it howls without grace, 
blows briny waves of saltwater in my face. 
It speaks of love in such a solemn breath 
In its stillness, sometimes I hear it mourning death.

I am priceless

11 July 2024  2:10 PM

I am priceless there is only one me
Like the tree of life I'm the only me there can be

Father made me in his heart 
He knew my life would be hard from the start

He placed me in the body made by mom and dad
He caused me to grow and let me have the life that I've had

For a purpose I was made
For a purpose I was saved

I will be here until that purpose is served
Then return to my Father when my call is heard

I will give account of what I did and did not do
And through the blood of Yeshua He will invite me through

In that life you had it hard from place to place and chore to chore
But you took it and did not quit now welcome home for ever more

Dancing In the Rain In the Uk

Dancing in the rain in the UK 

The water is pouring and pounding down
And I'm dancing no doubt looking insane, 
But I can feel the rain's rhythm as it beats down,
As it rebounds off the ground again and again,
Each raindrop creates a ripple as it rebounds
Each raindrop has its own sound rain is not plain
It's nature's beat to invite you to move your feet
Let dancing to nature's beat wash away all your troubles 
You might get wet wet wet having a blast skipping through puddles 
Go dance in the rain if you live in the UK do it definitely,
We might as well try to enjoy the cards we've been delt unfortunately, 
Because the rain rain doesn't go away in the UK 
It's still here come mothers washing day 
Thank god for tumble dryers for the 360 days where its raining it's pouring 
The old man is snoring he went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't go to work in the morning because the rain was still bloody pouring.

Premium Member Feels like Christmas


Imagine what they must have felt,
Burning in their heart, to melt
Away the bitterness and fears,
All the darkness from past years….

Imagine how their souls were blessed
Could anyone have truly guessed
That silent night, as a star called down
Sprinkling peace all around….

Imagine when the Lord was born,
In a stable, so old and worn,
To a virgin, the mother of love
Mary, who would praise heaven above…

Imagine the songs that were sung,
By startled souls, both old and young,
Kings and peasants, all knew this birth
Answered prayers, bringing heaven to earth…

Imagine the joy that came, overflowing
Through the heart and soul, spirit’s glowing
Reassured by the presence of this King,
The One who caused all the angels to sing….

Imagine the peace, wonder and hope
Falling from the One who taught us to cope,
With the earth’s darkness, pain and fear
All the reasons we praise Him throughout the year….

Imagine a Christmas when we celebrate the One
Who assured us, he’d one day say well done,
Invite us to a home where our soul shall believe,
He is the light who silences doubt on Christmas Eve.
