Premium Member Dear God

Dear God

Thank you for your love
For the hope that lives inside
For the heart that you gave
For the joy that you made

Thank you for your breathe
For the kindness you express
For inspiration that you whisper
For imagination you enthuse

Thank you for your word
For the feeling of fulfillment
For the wisdom within the scriptures
For the faith to appreciate your wisdom

Thank you for your peace
For the caress of dawn’s brilliance
For the miracle of a gentle thought
For the laughter living in my heart

Thank you for your perfect love
For the music in the tender songs
For the intensity of the moon’s glow
For the twinkle in a child’s eyes

Thank you for your grace
For the affection you provide
For the answers to my prayers
For the sense of purpose I have

Thank you for your silent assurance
For the guidance that you provide
For the love that lives on the inside
For the miracle of your Son

I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done!

Never forget to thank God for the gift…
Of hope, faith and love… and eternity with His Son!


Premium Member If I Were the Color of Love - 1

If I were the color of darkness
Night blackening my vision
While my eyes twinkle gentle
Like the stars, drifting in song
Caressing the sky with tones
Of life beyond the blessings

If I were the color of laughter
Lighting the soul with joy
Elating the world with warmth
Vibrant and pure, feelings so true
They cry out with delight
Insight into the heart’s beauty

If I were the color of storms
Rainbows pouring across the noon
After the rain has departed
Left only the music of pastel lines
To embrace the mind who sees
God’s artwork flowing over the trees

If I were the color of silence
Serene and soulful as peaceful dreams
Faded into the smiles of kindness
Brought to the one who knows only
Prayers felt on the heart’s shadows
Praising the Lord for His stillness

If I were the color of blessings
Sent on the wings of angel’s breath
Shining on hopes and devotions
Reflecting on the simplicity of joy
That lingers on the touch of His hand
Reaching down to my spirit with a caress

If I were the color of love
I would sing to God above of the many
Miracles He’s given me in this life
And thank Him for grace, faith and more…
The sense of purpose that comes from
Living for the Son who is so pure and good!

With your feet rooted deep in the earth,
And your mind soaring high into rebirth
Claim your excellence, embrace your worth,
Subsume the duality that governs your mirth. 
 
For it is in acknowledging both light and dark,
True beauty and growth can embark,
The vitality you emit will aid self-acceptance,
A journey toward inner balance and transcendence.

With your heart resonating with divine beauty,
Arrant alignment with your true destiny,
Connect with the vibrational vitality of the universe,
Invoke within your spirit a sense of purpose,

Shine your light upon your soul's deepest desires,
Agape doors of wisdom and claim your acquires.
With every step you bear, grounded and aware,
Let the earth's embrace guide you without despair,

For within its roots lies the wisdom of ages,
An ancient connection that never wavers.
And as your mind soars high in the endless sky,
Let your dreams and aspirations reach raw heights,

It is in the vastness of neoteric that options arise,
Where limitations dissolve and greatness lies.
With your feet rooted deep in the earth,
And your mind soaring high to its worth.

Embrace the duality that exists, and empower.
For it is the key to unlocking your true power 
With this balance of opposites, you shall succeed,
Unleashing the potential that lies within your creed.

cold
physically, emotionally, spiritually
hollowed out like a two hundred year old redwood 
ravaged by fire, i didn’t care
my sense of purpose had long lost its relevance
spiraling out of control and letting it happen.
i had to admit, i needed help 
we had a relationship once, You and me, 
we used to chat, 
though it’d been a while.
i believed You would help me. 
thats what You do.
So i called on You
and waited for a response. 
… crickets
maybe a little more reflecting wouldn’t hurt.
…so i waited and i called on You again.
You must have known i would reach out. 
You must have heard my cries. 
where were You? away on business?
i thought it was ego or pride. 
or both.
not coming to You regularly 
seems to piss You off
maybe there’s a lesson to be learned
i knew one of us had to blink.
then i remembered, You don’t blink.
it’s pretty much Your way or the highway. 
i realized this time i wasn’t going to blink either.
now what? 
… more crickets
i learned early i am responsible 
for my actions
i read a person must trust in himself
ultimately, one can’t rely on anyone else
one needs to develop inner strength 
be honest with himself, face life, face reality. 
no one or thing is going to save me
only i can
in the past, i believed in myself 
when most wrote me off.
and in a moment of clarity,
i figured it out

the righteous will say You did hear me
You heard my cries and answered
my action was Your response.
giving me the strength to ask for help
to pull myself up, to be a light for others
it was You working through me. 
they’ll say there’s a bigger picture 
that i don’t see or get.
someday an explanation will be revealed.
i suppose those are possibilities 
but i don’t understand; 
what’s Your point?
is this about me
or about You or
You and me?
teaching? compassion?
put them before myself?
feel the pain i inflicted on others?
exalt You as the only one who can “fix things?” 
how does that work? 
i get credit for failing and You for healing.
maybe someday if You have time, 
we can have coffee and chat about it.
we’ll meet some place where we can
sit outside and You can blow more smoke

Premium Member Zully's Apology

I’m glad to hear that your meditation practice gives you the means to define your sense of purpose in life. That is an enviable state of affairs. My own charter would be less ambiguous and my agenda more coherent had I certainty regarding the disposition of such matters. 

It seems to me my sand has nearly run out; the frontier is closed and I don't do reservations. You'll never know whatever became of me. You'll think about it once or twice, then forget I ever existed. Till one day you'll come across something that brings me to mind and you'll hurt to imagine lost might-have-beens. 

Like 24 karat gold, my kind of purity makes me too soft to be of much use in any practical sense. That's my problem. As a result, I have cultivated an outer shell that is hard and crusty. I think it might crack soon. I don't want anyone to be around when it does. The mystery of existence will continue to puzzle me, but I’ll not accept institutional dogma as answer to the question of why I’m here. A little dogma creates a big stink. 

As a result, I make it a point to always go out of my way to avoid stepping in it whenever I choose to take a stroll. There is no truth, but that which one chooses to believe. Any other notion is childish speculation. Oh, and I am sorry about the time I told you have a fat ass. I didn’t really mean it the way it came out. What I meant to say is –  you have a fat ego. But that didn’t sound angry enough. And I was very angry.


A Short Essay Concerning People In the United States Having Babies That They Can't Support

In the United States, the decision to have children, even when financial support is uncertain, can be influenced by a myriad of complex factors.
One significant factor is the societal expectation and cultural norms surrounding family life.

The American Dream often includes the aspiration of building a family, and individuals may feel societal pressure to conform to this ideal despite financial constraints.

Moreover, limited access to comprehensive sex education and contraceptive resources can contribute to unplanned pregnancies.
Inadequate awareness and education on family planning may lead individuals to underestimate the financial responsibilities associated with raising a child.

Additionally, socio-economic disparities and systemic issues such as unequal access to education and healthcare can create barriers, limiting individuals' ability to make informed decisions about family planning.

Furthermore, emotional or personal reasons, such as a desire for companionship or a sense of purpose, can override pragmatic considerations. Some individuals may believe that their circumstances will improve over time, underestimating the long-term financial commitment that raising a child entails.

In conclusion, the decision to have children despite financial uncertainties in the United States is a complex interplay of societal expectations, limited access to education and resources, and personal motivations.

Addressing these multifaceted issues requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses improved access to education, healthcare, and social support systems to empower individuals to make informed choices about family planning.

Do Too You Value

Why did I believe in good that I had never seen 
the nasty horrible people who are truly mean 
growing up together after meeting as a teen 
thinking there was good in them though it has never been 

Are my peers prepared to be 
someone who is there for me 
do they compete compare and see 
themselves above the hierarchy 

As if there’s something that they do 
to help their friends who have no clue 
a skill they have that’s not in you 
a priceless gift hard to value 

They will talk of what they do 
how good they are and think it true 
saying things not said by you 
about a skill you don’t value 

Something you would never do 
hence the reason you’ve no clue 
there’s a different route for you 
with self respect that you value 

If you’re good at things you do 
other people know it too 
they will talk of it to you 
as they can see the true value 

When you speak of what you do 
and no one ever says it too
the idea only comes from you 
something only you value 

So maybe what you need to do 
is learn a skill that they have too 
a use for others not just you 
a skill that is of true value 

once it’s something you can do 
other people notice too 
they’ll give praise and credit you 
a sense of purpose and value 

You do what you do 
because you need too 
and no one else but you 
thinks it has value 

Why think it’s something to do 
when nobody else does it too 
tells the world all about you 
a life unnoticed lacks value

I know you like to think you do 
what others wish they could too 
but they haven’t skills like you 
in this belief you find value 

You’re a peer too scared to be 
a human with ability 
and it is very clear to see 
thwarting insecurity 

Why do you think you are good in ways you’ve never been 
grasping hold of possibilities existing in a dream
growing up not too clever painting your own scene 
you may look like an adult now but inside you’re a teen!

Maybe I can help you, troubles to amend.
Maybe as I like to do, write a word or two.
Maybe I can love you, surely be your friend.
Maybe even stand by you, anything for you.

    Let me walk with you, through your newness.
    Let me face with you, times you flee to meet.
    Let a sense of purpose fill your heart.
    Let your soul free, & begin to speak.

    Know the fears that have bound you.
    Know this heart of mine will ease.
    Know the burdens you have carried
    Know these hands of mine will free.

Please open your door, to words I do pray.
Please understand, what I have to say.
Please know we will be lovers, til my dying day.
Please try and live your life, in each and every way.

You are on your own

The Journey of Unity

In the tapestry of life, we wander,  
Threads of hope unraveling yonder.  
"I am because you are," a truth so profound,  
Yet in our pursuits, it's lost, never found.  

Chasing tomorrow, a mirage in our sight,  
While the present whispers, "You're missing the light."  
We gather possessions, they glitter and gleam,  
Yet hollow the heart when the joy's just a dream.  

A girl with a vision, a spark in her eye,  
Longs for connection beneath the vast sky.  
In her quest for support, all she hears is the hush,  
No hands reach to lift her, just silence, a rush.  

"Where is the unity?" her heart softly cries,  
"When did we forget the warmth of our ties?"  
In a world that spins fast, we lose sight of the grace,  
The joy of togetherness, a warm embrace.  

Yet still, in the shadows, a glimmer remains,  
The courage to change and break free from our chains.  
For what we give to others, we find in our souls,  
A shared sense of purpose that makes us whole.  

So let us awaken, this truth to ignite,  
To stand by each other, to share in the light.  
In the journey of living, let kindness be our guide,  
For in helping one another, we take hope's bright ride.

Premium Member Gentle Nature

Soft light of sunlight mists across the smoky gray
Of the blue ridges where colors of emerald pine
Surface in the distance, creating a brilliant waltz
Of cloudless dreams which signal to my spirit
Whispering silence and serenity through the forest
Inspiring me to believe in the joy this peace ignites
Creating a sense of truth inside which gently soothes
Then colors my hopes with hues of dancing lights
Beckoning from the sun’s graceful insight into reveries

Soon, I will be more than mere mystery to nature
I will be the breath of fresh air to the flowers that 
Captivate my spirit with their tender caress of silence
Nurturing the secret visions of those who happen upon
Phenomenal joys within the natural world which arrest
The sentiments of those who share such sweet pleasure
As dewdrops caressing the petal with tranquil liquid
That enlivens stem and leaf with a sense of purpose
Purity that resembles a rose’s compassionate sigh

When I speak to the trees and earth, conversing with 
The wind and sun, trembling within due to fauna awareness
Answers to prayers seem to single me out through 
Touches from limb and spray, creations from the heavens
Sent to us mere mortals on the wings of silent prayers
Solitude built with gentle figs and favors from old oaks
Soothing rains single me out with feelings of compassion
Blended with shades of inspiration that will grow into
Heartfelt miracles of character built with natural instincts
