Nurse Anne

Nurse Anne

Snow steeped in mountains and mountains steeped in snow
Evergreens and pine trees hold the earth with purpose
Nurse Anne steps into hospital from brutal winter cold
Measures stethoscopes and takes gentle pulses
Takes care of bullet wounds and children on her rounds
Wears white, green or blue uniforms or gowns while working
That’s pure speculation as you know
Nurse Anne is not a lawyer according to close sources
She writes poetry on line, refines them in her leisure time
Her prescription for good health and life is simple
Eat vegetables, fishes and less meat
Most importantly, Breath, (it helps a lot) 
Take moderation in everything
Get plenty of rest and sleep
And if you can’t be intelligent or stay on your toes
At least stay on your feet
Naturally a life spent vertically is not advised
Nurse Anne wants us all to exercise 
She will help you to get by and back to skiing
With her good guidance and by being wise
She does her noble work then travels home
Returns to evening
To writing poems at her own leisure

Taking Time

We were sent to be our brother’s keeper,
To be there and know each other deeper.
May we live to anxiously fill each other’s needs,
And remember the ones, in very deed.

To put others before ourselves, and serve the least of these,
Is to live with true freedom in our hearts, pleasing deity.
May we live to love and share with our families,
Being a servant of each other’s pleadings.

In lifting our fellow being’s burdens, making them light,
We do know our Lord’s loyal and holy sacrifice.
He makes our lights shine bright,
And refines, while humbling like a child.

Peace and light anchor hope,
In a world so desperately needing love and healing.
Let us be harnessed in our Savior’s yoke,
Seeking to be His peacemakers appealing.

Comforting, and sustaining the widow,
Sick, and lonely in their distress,
Is nothing less, than living pure religion,
Undefiled and acceptable before God.

To ensure that your life is not in vain,
Look to our Savior’s example, and do the same.
Take time to look around and serve,
Then let the consequences uphold and preserve.

In losing yourself in the Lord’s will,
You will find yourself in His Kingdom again,
Never to go out, but to live worthy still,
Exalted in joy, renewed, in glorious divinity, Amen.

Premium Member In the twilight of our consciousness, where shadows intertwine with subtle grace

In the twilight of our consciousness, where shadows intertwine with subtle grace,
I wander through endless corridors, seeking truths in this forsaken place.
This world, the sole reality, with all its terror and tender embrace,
Demands our love, lest we lose ourselves in imaginary space.
Through the labyrinth of thoughts, where dreams and fears entwine,
I glimpse the dismal utopias, where false hopes align.
The politicians' empty promises, like stars that cease to shine,
And the futile whispers of reward, which the misled call divine.
How can we live in a realm where terror and beauty blend,
And not surrender our hearts to this paradox without end?
For if we scorn this earthly tether, where shadows and light amend,
We fall into self-deceit, where illusions grow and bend.
In the deep valleys of our souls, where echoes of existence ring,
We must find the courage to embrace this world, its horror and its spring.
To love it in its entirety, in every tear and triumph, to cling,
For in this acceptance lies our freedom, where only truth can bring.
The utopias of the misguided are but mirages on the sand,
Promises that dissolve in time, slipping through our hand.
We must root ourselves in the present, in this tangible land,
Where terror and wonder coexist, a realm we must understand.
The religion of the future, a whisper of comforting lies,
Attempts to mask the terror, but leads to our demise.
The imaginary world, an echo that never satisfies,
Dispels the fragrant beauty that in the present flies.
In this sacred waltz of thoughts, where consciousness aligns,
I strive to love this world, with all its dark and bright designs.
To see the terror as part of life, where beauty too refines,
A place where dreams and reality, in perfect balance, combine.
Through the misty veils of day and night, where dawn's first light appears,
I walk the path of acceptance, embracing hopes and fears.
For only in loving this world, with all its pain and cheers,
Can we find our truest selves, beyond the false veneers.
So let us cherish the terror, and the beauty that it brings,
And love this world in its entirety, to the rhythm of its wings.
For in this dance of reality, where every shadow sings,
We find the essence of our being, the truth in all things.

On Reading Old Letters

I can't remember 
how many friends I had
after I departed to Illinois. 
It's true they were far away and 
I enjoyed their affection 
only through the mail 
with its own kind of sensuosness. 
The  tracings of pens and pencils, 
dribblings and stains 
informed me of bodies. 
.
How much they professed missing me 
and asked for my return. 
To be asked when you are coming back
is one of the most touching endearments,
especially when you
have no intention to.
I should have felt beloved. 
.
I thought I was superman in those days. 
So kind and knowing. 
Knowledge always precedes education. 
Education only refines, adds patina, 
gains you names, arguments, 
but knowledge is constant. 
I survive by inventing theories.

Premium Member You Are More Than Your Wounds - A Whisper of Strength

Pain refines, 
but grace restores.
This is the whisper 
of strength.

There are days
when the world feels heavy, 
when the echoes of yesterday 
press against the walls of today. 
You walk forward, 
yet the past lingers like a shadow . . . 
a silent presence 
reminding you 
where you’ve been.

But hear this: 
You are not bound 
by what was. 
You are shaped 
by your resilience, 
by the moments 
when you chose to rise, 
even when 
the weight of it all 
begged you 
to fall.

Pain has touched you, 
but it has not 
broken you. 
Instead, 
it carved wisdom
into your bones, 
strength 
into your spirit, 
and grace 
into your steps. 
Healing comes.

Whatever storm
you walk through now, 
it is not here 
to consume you. 
It is here 
to remind you 
of the fire within, 
the unwavering light 
that refuses to dim. 
Rescue comes.

And in this chapter . . . 
you choose to rise.

Let these words 
settle within you. 
Breathe in 
strength, 
exhale 
doubt. 
You are seen, 
you are heard, 
and 
you are never alone.

Premium Member Lord God, You Are My Service Commander

January 20 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Exodus 8-10

Key Verse – Exodus 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY SERVICE COMMANDER
				
Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stretching over me Your hand of authority
Thank You for bringing me to Your realm of submissive humility
I entreat that You take away my arrogance that makes me haughty…
Please forgive my selfishness and carnality.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stirring me with Your finger of compassion
Thank You for building me up to rise above weak devotion
I know that You are omnipotent to break my rebellious reaction…
Please forgive my stubbornness and corruption.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
sacrificing for me by Your heart of lovingkindness
Thank You for binding me to Your gracious dealing against deceitfulness
I trust that You remain in Your caring faithfulness…
Please forgive my unbelief and doubtfulness.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stabilizing me through Your mind of work-fulfillment
Thank You for beholding me to grow within Your designed development
I realize that You want the best for my heavenly achievement…
Please forgive my discontentment and lack of commitment.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
strengthening me along Your power of miraculous deed
Thank You for breaking me of my worldliness that leads toward vain greed
I understand that You must discipline me since such I need…
Please forgive my disobedience-creed and pride-breed.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
satisfying me by Your presence of divine signs
Thank You for blessing me when I follow Your truth, bright light that shines
I beseech that You transform me along faith which virtuously refines…
Please forgive my motives and desires outside Your standard lines.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
settling me toward Your throne of prayer responses
Thank You for blinding me against darkness of materialism’s curses
I find that You never leave me to be overtaken by evil practices…
Please forgive my clinging to and craving for worthless influences.
