My heart is beating with upbeat delight
You astound me…in every shape and form
My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might
You surprise me…when you take my hand
And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm
And He dismisses me from my solitude…
My eyes are glistening with bliss…
And I’m far from my demise…
Only to find that there’s no need to feel helpless
Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection?
Just protect me from any harm
Let me make my own decisions…
To see the results in the long run
You prize me as if I’m cherished like your carefree child
You don’t understand – I’m TOO foolish and wild
I haven’t even reached to full maturity
But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free
From the world’s mayhem
Is there a solution to this problem?
And I’m left with no answer…
My eyes are eager to see…another bright day
And the night is coming to haunt me…
I find myself slowly disappearing from sight…
When will God give me a purpose to fight?
When will He feed me His awesome might?
Just support me…especially during my downfalls
Please answer my calls!
And I’m left to venture off into His path…
Eye can’t escape my terrible nightmares
Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton
Let me pour forth my tears –
Do me a favor and cast away my fears
Steer me away from disorder and confusion
Eye can see you’re making great progress
You’re heading towards a brighter, superb future…
My eyes
No longer witness oblivion
My eyes
Looks beyond the earthly pain…
bEyOnD the affliction
I spot a rope in the distance. . . . .
Push aside the waves…and let me
Grab it this instant!
God feeds me His love…and treats me
Like a newborn infant!
Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes
I feel rare content
And I feel hardly any resentment
Eye
cherish
that
REMARKABLE
moment
Only if God would allow;
If I could see a prayer;
And if only, if only the Father allowed;
Yet He doesn't need my help;
I just stay hidden in His light;
The darkness has fled is gone;
Light the wick on the candle;
Let there be light;
He is light;
Asleep yet awake eyes;
Open let there be light;
Hold your holy adoring presence ever sight;
Let there be light;
So His is righteousness;
So is His glory so, shines;
All I can do;
All I can say;
All I can do is pray;
Speak Lord;
if granted for just a bit;
The speech is power allowed, if granted;
If just for a moment I could see His face;
Yet in my dismal dismay, I would Grace;
His presence, Holy is His presence;
I wouldn't endeavor to rise up to heaven;
I wouldn't endeavor to praise His name forever;
Just a drop of the Father's heart beats;
Embracing all those now once present;
Those broken hearts;
I am in the darkest light;
Yet I shine ever bright;
God I'm praying my heart worshiping you right;
Rebuking Satan's Powers swords and knives;
Get out devil there be no sin from me this day this night;
Asleep yet I awoke my eyes I see the face;
The amazing Grace;
Jesus released us
Jesus has released us
Jesus released us
He freed me from myself from my sins;
He delivered me;
He speaks true, He speaks truth speaks truths from my sins ;
He speaks truth I am truth I am birth born again no longer am I endowed;
In the swindling the Father allies;
I've ignored now I am adorned Mercy's Grace;
Shines Mercy Grace, shines, shines Mercy's Grace ;
All over my face;
All of this because of me I pray ;
Let there be light, let there be light this day;

Listen, God…
Please hear my plea
I’ve sinned and again….
Need Your grace
Your forgiveness and mercy
Your compassion and pity
Listen, God…
To the heart who believes
In Your wonderful grace
Your pardon of my iniquity
Your absolution of my crime
Your forgiveness of my wrong
Listen, God….
Please heed my heart’s cries
I need Your kindness, Your clemency
The blessing of Your grace
Freeing me of all this guilt and shame
Because You shed Your light
Across the shadow of my regret
Remorse for this doubt
Without You, dear God…
I would be lost, beyond hope
Without a chance of knowing the way
Toward peace that encompasses me
When I pray… for Your grace
The whisper of a love so amazing
It saves my soul from misery
Listen, God…
To the thankfulness of a heart
Who knows You are the answer
To every prayer for hope, faith and love
All the joy that rains down from above
All the wonder of Your one and only Son!
Isaiah 55:7 KJV - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
There is only one antagonist
In this story of life
He appears in different forms, to us
He works inside our minds
There is only one, authentic foe
From title page, to end
On every leaf, your book bestows
The impact of his sin
But long before, your chapter one
A misconception surfaced
An image that won’t be undone
Perception was it’s purpose
This illustration left him red
A pitchfork, tail and horns
Imaginations would be fed
But doubt would soon be born
The epitome of a cartoon villain
And star of Halloween
An aching tooth in need of filling
Hideous to extremes
But, despite his soul’s appearance
That’s never what we see
He hides behind a face and scent
An addictive recipe
Sometimes it takes a tragedy
To get you started
To get your heart in
Like somebody's heart
Has just departed.
And while it's gone,
Somebody else
Just tries to dart in
And steal parts
And leave you in the dark
Just tryna start it.
Sometimes the hardest course
Is what is best
To pass the test
Cuz you can handle it
So nothin less.
He wont just leave you stranded
And left to guess
I'll take a rest
Before I end up in a pool of cess
And that's exactly what
This world has prov'n to be
Escusé me
Please,
What will I do to see?
If you're not God,
Then what can you do to me?
Or do for me?
I've got time,
Let's wait and see.
The message here
Is simply plain and clear.
So my dear,
Take cheer.
I'll be here
To catch the tear.
You don't have to worry,
No girl, no need to fear
'Cuz the last thing I've got
On my mind is to disappear.
Form:
He’s been listening to the news,
All up to date about I-raq,
His kit has been laid out
Sorted and ready to pack.
The camel’s on combat rations
So its mood is just a little mean
But it’s a trim and fit and ready
Desert transport machine.
He sleeps out in the garden
In an army surplus tent
It may be second hand but
Its money so well spent.
It’s all in cam colours
Insipid and quite bland
So to fit in with the others
In the hot desert sand.
He’s informed Buck Palace
And Tonee the Vee Pee,
He’s planned for the occasion
And kept some holidays free.
Once the summons comes
That very same day
Lawrence of Neasden
Can be off on his way,
To fight for Queen and Country,
Old Tonee and Georgie Bush,
He knows he’s not heard back yet,
His offer’s been kept very hush,
But come the day
Come the need
Lawrence and his camel
Will carry out the deed,
And lo and behold
It shall come to pass
Lawrence and his Camel
Will help save ol' Tonee's ass.
To be continued

Call it kindness or kind-heartedness, helpfulness or humanity, compassion or sympathy, all human attributes, yet, sometimes it is felt that Nature often scores over humanity. The poet here that observes trees envies them, their flowers and fruits. He envies bees and butterflies, for, they seem to live for others, be kind to each other and support others of their kind, even mankind. How much humans care for them? Here, they seem to respond to him:
We feel there’s no choice,
They all said and in one voice,
From kindness come joys,
Stop living in greed,
There’s enough for every need,
Kindly care to give,
Joy there’s in giving—
For its own sake, enjoying,
Not for self to live!

I suppose,
as a pretentiously self-uberespecting Wise Elder,
I should be alpha-embarrassed to admit
my youngest son,
unable to speak or even sign,
unable to even successfully chew and swallow food,
unable to walk without warm-embraced assistance,
is also my guardian angel.
Without him
I would undoubtedly forget
each day and night
is a re-newing challenge
to laugh with others' screeching terrors
and shared miseries of sobbing tragedy,
to listen patiently,
maintaining eye contact as best you can,
as long as necessary,
appearing to actually be interested and following,
or, even better,
actually become totally immersed in hearing
resonance and dissonance and timbre,
resolution and irresolution,
rhythm and patterns of song and dancing relationship
and absence of healthy co-relationship,
all before we speak,
or squawk,
as in the case of my guardian angel,
Who also occasionally graces us with shared laughter
about how silly we all are together,
or how great the front porch breeze feels
up against the birdsong.
My nearly egoless zero-sum WinWin mentor,
my youngest sacred graced perfection son.
How would I ever have survived his sister,
who is my Egyptian Princess AlphaPharoah BiPolar *****,
in a kind of a Nubian DiPolar Witchy Wu-Wei,
if you know what I mean.
Kind of like living with a five-year-old Donald Trump
if he were also a fifteen-year-old transexual
with bipolar oppositional ***** disorder.
I just read that to my guardian angel.
He didn't think that was funny,
so I thought I would share it with you,
while he's still listening,
in his guardian angel graced way.
We each take only what we yang and yin need
and do our best to cooperatively re-invest
all of it,
including the ecopolitical ****.
Cleopatra, The-Deo-Swagger
I swagger on up, up onto the top,
yet it wasn't my style, being Queen of the Nile,
they saw me a leader, who filled up their jigger,
for the praises they sound, I need to keep them around,
being a swag I was high, being tagged a nice guy
for the love they bestow, I just had to know,
was all this too much, or just a nice touch,
was it good or bad, was it sweet or sad,
but you know what they say, hands together and pray,
for the swag world she love, was her anointing dove.

~~Line Gauthier
2025, you were a year uncertain
Felt a pull of a curtain to cover up
The world was faced with reality
Months upon months questionable
Tomorrow seemed like an abrupt yesterday
Harder and harder to survive
Noble mind rhetoric thought
2026 hope for newness and uplifting
A desire in must try
Determined hope
Will cope
No matter what year, there is always hope
Horizon peace
Togetherness at least
Respectful world
Love swirl
Hatred thrown out
Maneuvering inspiration about
Daily praying in keeping Faith strong
Real change
Transformational survival
Better year
Preserver
Need and desire
Crime a turnaround
Let 2026 bring solvency our way
Embrace minds, heart and souls in ok
Happy Prosperous New Year 2026 I say
Make it the best in every way
Don’t drink and drive
Arrive in the New Year alive.
