Interludes of Solitude

In dreams I'm offered interludes of solitude
where worries are calmed in total quietude
I'm swimming in the depths of a placid night
so don't wake me from my whimsical flight
I'm in still waters, where lotus flowers grow
It's soothing to be among their saffron glow

I'm being gently lulled by the motion of waves
Serenity is the healer that my psyche craves
I find soft glimmers of repose and satisfaction
away from the world's dark fretful distraction
In these moments my heart has sweet release
while I drift along in some semblance of peace

In dreams time stands completely still, so I laze
contentedly floating while my eyes stargaze
Flickering fireflies generously luminate my way
Within these solitary intervals, I wish to stay
I've been told that I'm frivolous to waste time
but dreaming is an indulgence I find sublime

Road Well-Kept

Concrete lanes going north ribbon themselves past barns and fields and small towns. A talk show interview plays on the radio, saying everyone has a story to tell. This morning a ghost of a passing moon hangs to the west, holding onto dreams. As I drive, I feel I’m in some kind of dance with friends of the past and friends of now. All I have to do is to pull to the side, close my eyes and watch the planets and stars dance beyond the blue. This land bears its history of prairies and forests cleared, of natives gone. Just before the turn off, ponds shimmer under the sun, giving a moment’s peace. Just beyond, some other people to greet, memories to envision another day.

As HE taught

The cold November wind blows through the pine trees .. an Erie feeling comes over the fog covering the park, deer are huddled down, perhaps they too are hurt..

The creek calm like glass, only the ducks feet glide across like a knife through butter.. but no noise dare they mutter…

Darkness overcomes us, street lights luminate the path leading through Sunnybrook park..everyone is asleep.. 


My aching body lays down upon the grass, thus  is my happy place, away from people who had no time for me, you had your chance to listen, now only the deer, look into my soul, we’ve made thus place our home..


For GOD created thus place for us.

The sky upon which to seek HIS wisdom,
Deer in which to graze on grass He sowed,
Tall Pine Trees in which to give us Shelter,
Sun from which to warm us.. .


My body is at peace,
my breathing slows,


Winter will soon be amongst us; blankets of white, seeking food will be a chore, but HE who created the earth will provide; for THOSE who seek with an Un righteous heart..  

I seek and GIVE to HIS heart to others in private as THAT is what HE taught;  in my own way  with out fear of judgement..

Premium Member I'M God's Pin Light- My Spokenword

Digital pin light, energize being of flight
In the heavenly hand rised Father pick me, pick me
Having no one present yet I'm present
I am God's pin light shining ever bright

I am alone, alone. (with you alone and I'm good)
Standing in the corner midst the darkness thought I shine
My flame, my fire, my light so shines
Darkness stands before me, it adhors me
Now in this world, so dark is this world
I'm my Father's child in fetal position

In this darkness now I stand
My light vividly shines
I am alone, alone
Yet there's Holy Fires surrounding me
In this dark world needing only Jesus my righteousness in Him
Luminate me Father 

Standings in the corner midst the darkness thought I shine
More than just a pin light demon covers their face I shine to bright
I am alone, alone
Midst my praise and worship in the darkness of the room
Stands angels pointing, looking down at me I see not what they see
Appointed announced just a pin light energize a shiny dot

From my heart flame on brighten light
I shine, I shine bright
The God in me luminates, His righteousness
I am alone a pin light ever so shine I in the darkest dark
I am alone alone Phoenix risen shining bright

    ~I God's little Pin light in this world dark I walk I shine ever so bright
I am His light

Commanding The Flood

Water takes on form
determined by the container
Its main characteristic
forever to move downward

An army’s defenses 
should act like water
Filling in the empty spaces
of the attacker’s weakness

Where mind and spirit meet
darkness turns to daylight
Once you luminate the battlefield  
you can counter at any time

When your will pierces
the enemy’s fear and turns it against them
You swallow their spirit
digesting it whole

Advancing as one
withdrawing as one
Victory of great consequence
knows no other way

Winning flows in torrents
through the heart of the commander
Whose soldiers fight through strength of hand
—in currents to define
