Salt is the seasoning, the spice of life
The reason for giving out
Flavors to heal hurt
Herbs to relieve grief
Suggestions that fill minds
With hope, faith and love
Salt is the zest of giving
The tang that touches
Upon the heart’s feelings
The additive that suggests
We all need God’s healing
With the adoring light of living
Salt is the flavoring, the hint of
Hope that rises inside one
Who knows that love is there
Alive on the inside of the soul
Where the Holy Spirit lives
And guides us toward much more
Salt is the sense of truth
That beckons to our minds
Heavenly suggestions of joy
Inspiring the spirit to delight
In the wisdom of sending out
Laughter, smiles and gentleness
Salt is the aroma of tears and sunshine
The grasp of feeling inside one
Who knows that faith is alive
Providing a sense of assurance
Insight into the scriptural blessings
That thrive with pure inspiration
Salt is the touch of color pouring down
From the edge of the rainbow
From beginning to end, shades
Of pastel gentleness relieving souls
Of the sorrow, worry and fear
Sending love through that stunning arc
Salt is the essence of God’s breath
Sighing with the whisper of a caress
Gentle appreciation sent down to us
Who know that He lives and sends us
Quiet joy, hope, faith, serenity and more
To fill us up with unconditional love
Matthew 5:13 King James Version
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

"I'm talking in rhyme during our weekly group session
about panic attacks, schizophrenia and depression.
I can't stop rhyming, it's becoming an obsession.
I can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session.
Hello Carl, Hello Barbara, Kathy and Donna.
Want to talk about smoking marijuana?
Perhaps a different substance abuse?
Oh what the hell, what's the use?
I just can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session.
Let's talk anger issues or maybe passive aggression.
Will I ever stop rhyming during this weekly group session?
And hey, did I happen to mention
that I can't stop rhyming during our weekly group session?
How are you today Kamar?
What do you think of all this so far?
All of my rhyming during our weekly group session.
Will my condition get worse if I continue to converse
in poetic verse during our weekly group session?
Would medication do the trick or would it just leave me sick?
Sick here still rhyming during our weekly group session.
I must get in control of this soon or I'm mentally doomed.
I'm exhausted from rhyming during our weekly group session.
I can't take this anymore. I'm marching out that door.
I'm relieving you all of this annoying obsession.
Please don't take this personally but I'll keep on rhyming obsessively
if I spend one more moment at our weekly group session.
I think I just learned a very valuable lesson.
I should never speak in rhyme during our weekly group session,
because as you all can plainly see I ramble on endlessly
whenever I speak in rhyme during our weekly group session."
...then I walked out the door and said no more.
Agonizing with guilt-inflicted ailment
divine healing I earnestly seek
pacifying heart
against frustration-angst
toward soothing of soul
overwhelmed by self-pity…
Indeed, in need of healing*
through the great Physician
here am I beseeching, midst supplication
pleading for wholeness-rejuvenation
along speedy recovery
since brokenness has gripped me due to despair…
As healing offered from God works in my being
miraculously, I am cured ---
against blurred vision and impaired perspective
through heavenly ointment
unveiling truth, mercy and grace
illuminating perception with hope…
With healing of pardon that brings peace
along faith’s acknowledgment
relieving pain of selfishness, apathy and pride
reducing high blood pressure caused by stress
my spirit receives restoration glow
as well as freedom toward reaching-out...
Thankful for the healing of the Almighty
I now volunteer to be one of His therapists
sharing kindness, spreading love
serving as a blessing to the hurting
while aiding the aching ones
with prayer for their comfort.
*Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

The sky had faked us out before,
Grown dark with hints of thunder,
But then the sun resumed control
And left us all to wonder…
Well, will it rain today or not?
The heat needs some relieving.
Yet once the clouds turned white again,
We gave up on believing.
Then all at once, the daylight dimmed
And thunder rumbled, booming.
The stormy weather we’d expected
Suddenly was looming.
The rain, at last, came crashing down -
Relentless, teeming, pounding.
Protected by my screened-in porch,
I felt its force resounding.
Ten minutes passed and with a snap,
The afternoon just brightened.
The show was over, leaving me
With all my senses heightened.
Comes our God motherly, motherly, motherly,
Holding us tenderly when we're in pain.
Comes our God fatherly, fatherly, fatherly,
Strength'ning us daily to face life again.
Just what will tomorrow bring causes me worry
With so many tasks that I plan to complete,
And the thought of it makes me feel weary already.
I lay down my head and then struggle to sleep.
Holy Ghost hovering, hovering, hovering,
Spirit of wisdom to bring us God's peace.
Calming the chaos, relieving anxiety
Giving us courage so faith may increase.
With Jesus beside me as friend and companion
I rise from my sleeping to face a new day.
So whatever the challenges him I am trusting.
Through rough times and smooth I will hold to his Way.
God who's so genderful, genderful, genderful,
Spirit and Son now in union as One,
Shelt'ring us safely beneath her warm spreading wings,
Fending off evil till God's Kingdom comes.
To be sung to the tune of – Blow the Wind Southerly
The mist washes the hills
In a hazy comfort,
Soothing away every thought
Releasing the promises
Worthiness, like the dewdrop
Silencing fears, tears
The mist, like a heavy fog,
Caressing oak and pine
Stardust falls, pouring out
Rhymes, rhythms
Poetry on the emotional
Ride through eventide
The mist rinses the peaks
Destroying darkness
Erasing the mysterious
Coloring creation
Blinding the elation
Whispering intimacy, joy
The mist, reminds me
Like a vapor, my life is passing by me
Rich in blessings, fading
From the seas of enchantment
Relieving me of doubt
Promising that I will always bloom
The mist baths the mountains
In shadows of dignity
Faded reasons for faith in dreams
Promising wisdom, peace
Cleverly hidden beneath the gray
Steam that shrouds faith
The mist, alive like the wind
Dancing in the spirit
Whimsical, wishful, wistful
Praising a God who is alive
Singing through the spray of love
Poured out on all flesh…
From His breath, His gasp
Exhaling blessings
On the ones He accepts
Through salvation
Saving grace that admits
Jesus saves completely!

Each year, in spring, I remember days of the past
When we started our family, how we made it last
Looking through the window, out across the fields
Wondering if rains will come, to increase my yield
We plan for our baby and needs for the coming fall
To plant more or less, should I wait, hoping to recall
Speaking with the Father, I put my mind at peace
Remembering past years, what I should increase
With work, in the ground, your left with only hope
Look at the morning sky, will I smile or mope
That day the clouds arrive and the cool spring rain
We dance for joy, crops fed, relieving all the strain

There’s so much history
Of the many things
Said by you and me.
Reading on through:
The graying fondness
Begins returning to a colorful hue.
I’m trying to stop believing
In my own daydreaming…
Yet when I am missing you,
I then see my mind as deceiving.
In a way, you’re of the few
Who makes an old wish of mine
Become real and true.
Was once far down in sorrow,
Yet through your concern
I became more hopeful
And happier thereafter.
You seem so ideal
When it comes to what one
May long for.
Yet inside your mind
There may only be a closed door.
If only somehow,
One could be made yours.
Funny how you are able to discern
Through how I seem to be feeling
While changing my typing to my moods,
And which personality I seem to be.?
So easy you are, it’s relieving
When I’m allowed letting out all these
Bottled and secretly-kept thoughts and feelings.
Always seem to be listening,
So kind of you to even like my singing.
Wonderfully genuine,
Or at least you say so truthfully.
How would life be for me
If I never met you.
Thinking of it, reading on through,
Who knows what’d I do
If neither of us knew me or you.
Honestly I admire how you are,
But my conscience’s told me
That not even wishing on a shooting star
Could make the wish to see you become true.
I accept this decision of mine:
I’m choosing to believe we’ll be friends?
Thick and through even the boundaries of time…
"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?" By Rumi
love blended with light
soothing, inspiring, smiling
blessing my life, feels so right
beauty inspired, beguiling
love kissing my thoughts, my dreams
with the embrace of peace
the feeling, so beautiful, goes to extremes
a wonderful the heart won’t release
love silencing my every fear
shining hope into the shadows
erasing all sadness, every tear
with a kindness as amazing as the rose
love colors my heart in hues of hope
shines faith through the sorrows, the dread
frees my thoughts so I can cope
with the doubt, the intolerance that’s spread
love follows me with the heavy perfume
dreams stirred, burning through grief
relieving souls from the fears they assume
fall across the spirit of darkness, a relief
love knows the wonder of a touch
embracing the music of a hush
breathing in joy, burning so much
hearts blaze with the heat of elation’s rush
love silences all the worst that occurs
restoring beauty and peace to the soul
wisdom to those who joy prefers
promising hearts will be made whole
love, gentling each feeling
preparing for forever
with the miracle that is revealing
grace that is alive for whosoever!
Simply believe in the love.
