Direct Intention

Sitting in a body with intention,
Lifting my heart to listen.
Focusing my attention,
Searching for the lesson,
Through astral projection.
Thoughts travel best when,
Sitting silent with intention,
Allowing the mind to open.
Know you've been chosen,
Your name being spoken,
Across the ocean.
The Book Of Life open,
The plan set in motion,
Through actions and devotion.
A magic potion I'm holding,
Creation I'm molding,
Reality unfolding.
Information downloading,
Flowing with precision,
The right to decision.
Choose to accept your mission,
Step into your vision,
Listen to your intuition.
Evolution through intention,
Open hearts feel the lesson,
Opening to a new direction.

Premium Member Our Love

Impromptu meeting... lightning romance
our hearts, minds, bodies and souls
became one... man and wife
a long time ago... love grew stronger

With no idea what was set in motion
each part of the whole... at times lost
with help from God
a long time ago... love grew stronger

Life stuff happened... at times we were lost
I was sure he would leave me
he worked hard to give us
a life I could cherish... as he did me
a long time ago... love grew stronger

He was seriously injured... again we were lost
he was sure I would leave him
I worked hard to give him
a life he could cherish...as I did him
a long time ago... love grew stronger

Now forty years later... another life phase
our plan is to face our fears
enjoy the life we cherish... and each other
with faith in God... like a long time ago
our love will grow stronger

Premium Member Words

The power of the spoken word,
Can cure or it can kill.
It's up to you who wields the sword,
To use it as you will;

Defending those attacked by words,
Or helping to bring down,
The tongue can be a weapon, Friend,
Or see that wounds are bound.

A two edged sword will swing both ways,
To bring down friend or foe,
And once it's set in motion,
There's no telling where it goes.

We can but stand and watch the waves,
Of wrath that it will bring,
And hope that soon the squall is spent,
And learn from what we've seen;

But if we use it wisely,
The word can be a balm,
To bind up wounds quite nicely,
And bring the heart a song.


A WORD FITLY SPOKEN IS LIKE APPLES OF GOLD IN PICTURES OF SILVER.
                                                                                             Proverbs 25:11

IN THE MULTITUDE OF WORDS THERE WANTETH NOT SIN:
BUT HE THAT REFRAINETH HIS LIPS IS WISE.
                                                                  Proverbs 10:19

REIGNING SPIRIT

Like a ravenous fire is my tongue.
The spirit of a wild wolf resides inside my restless flesh
I was sent to devour and destroy misnomers…
Mortar bricks and clay shall wash away *chomers
Trust only in God’s promise and not in the lore.
I was sent to reveal the lies.

I despise what God despises:
I love that which God does Love;
Surrender to my words of wisdom,
Walk not behind the jolly who follow folly’
The miserable will soon be, forever free.!
The day of reckoning is near and all who suffer
even as a child will be cleared.

All who gather their wealth will feel the wrath…
and so, it has been set in motion
can never be rescinded.
As what you have done to the least of us
on earth shall be the destroyer of you.
Retribution and Karma are the relentless force
that no evil can conquer.
The face of the creator
shall never bless your internal eyes.
For you are without the God Spirit
and are without shame or truth.

You have no eyes, nor mouth, nor tongue. ~
Soon we will all be free… from this temporary flesh.
I do not rejoice in your ignorance
neither do I fear your temporary power.
Yea though I walk in wisdom
I am still but one grain of sand in all of the mighty oceans.

As the sun shines down near all the oceans;
I am that tiny particle that glistens.
So please listen…
Stand up and be counted.
Speak up and be heard …
“Attempt your utmost endeavor”
Pray for a discerning spirit and know that…
Though the wicked ones are at large-
God is still in charge.
From now until forever!

Premium Member What Makes America Great

No mere artist or poet can ever portray in oil or verse,
The grandeur of this great land and its people so diverse.
Never since The Founding Fathers set in motion its creation,
Has there been on all the earth a more grand and glorious nation!

Generations of valiant patriots from The Revolution to the present day,
Who placed national destiny above their own, now lie 'neath hallowed clay.
They sacrificed to preserve the precious freedoms God upon us did bestow.
So much, so very much to each of those courageous souls we owe!

Though they seldom get a word of thanks and work for meager pay,
'Tis the ordinary blokes who keep the gears running smoothly every day.
The farmer, the truck driver, the plumber, the postman who delivers mail;
Patriotic, hard working folks who carry their lunch in a beat-up dinner pail.

'Tis the land of opportunity where you can be all you aspire to be,
And enjoy the inalienable rights that The Constitution doth guarantee.
Among these the freedom of speech and the right to worship as you choose.
We are independent souls, yet can agree to disagree about our divergent views!

The pioneering spirit is alive and well in the people of this youthful nation.
We are renowned worldwide for our ingenuity and our innovation.
When it comes to being a generous people, we will not be outdone.
'Tis the people that make America great when all is said and done!

Premium Member Gnostic Thirst

The Lord is never threatened by the devil's ability to deceive and destroy,                                                       nor is He in the lease overwhelmed by man's wayward decent and defiance.                                                    
The Lord Himself put the timelines in the layers of earth, rocks, and trees.                                                                  These same lines have given reasons by many to disbelieve in the creation 
story.  It's not just the timelines, but the heavens also declare God's glory   and the open sky His handiwork. The entire universe in His vast domain has 
been set in motion to rise and fall by His decrees.  It was the Lord who gave GPS to the birds and the bees and stop signs to the waves of the seas.  
When He used His loving hands to form man from the dust, or when God 
wrote the 10 Commandments with His own fiery hands, or when He inspired  
Moses to record the 5 books of the Pentateuch, He was not attempting to prove to anyone that he existed or explain the age and meaning of the 
universe.  He was building relationships with the objects of His affection and was deeply hurt and saddened by man's mad rush to defection and defiance.   
I tell you, God encourages the pursuit of man's rule of the earth and the exploration of this great universe. So, if we should choose to expand our  
minds until our gnostic thirst is satisfied, or even until we replace our brains with millions of computers and A I devices, let none assume that their 'findings' 
will detect a world devoid of God. God has always been. God always is. God  will always be. God will continue pursuing and loving us until the bitter end. 
Earthly satisfaction of the human thirst is limited to none. My prayer is that we agree with St. Augustine's conclusion of finding no rest except in God.

Premium Member Dew

At EIGHT o'clock we ATE dinner
The soft BABEL heard once again 
Then became a DIN when the babe
Awoke with BABBLE coming from the DEN

The CURRENT course was CURRANT cake
Which was the most luscious DESSERT
One DUDE DEWED upon Mountain DEW
Hard to DO in a dry DESERT

That DUDE was the DEVISOR of the plan
The DEVISER who set in motion
All who were PRESENT inheritance
A PRESENT from THEIR parent's notion

I could go on and on but I don't have TIME
Because I need to set out the THYME..

I do not have a match for THEIR but THERE
is one match for it..

Premium Member Journey-F

I know that at times it feels that all our lives
are about high crimes and misdemeanors.
But all of life is about space and time; and all
of earth's creatures occupy and move in space.
Our earthly abode, set in motion by God, journeys                                                                                              
along the beats of time and seems so brief, so limited.

Although in the course of our lives,                                                                                                                        
many batons are handed off from
other people to us, life is not about                                                                                                                                
a team winning or losing in a relay race.

Rather, this journey of life is about each of us                                                                                                         
individually excelling in the purpose of glorifying God                                                                                                
and crossing the finish line in God's Gracious timeline.
Riddled with many adversities, complexities, and uncertainties, 
Our journey begins at birth from which we head for our destiny.

Many are the highlights shedding light on the highways of our lives.
Along the way, we experience both the thrills of victory and the agonies             of defeat.

Astronauts are sent into space in spacecrafts developed and designed to bring them back. Whether the goal is to perform experiments and run tests in space or to land on a planet, returning home is the ultimate destiny; and everything in between is a part of the journey.

Sometimes the most crucial part of the space journey is breaking through   the heated atmosphere on the return to earth.  Unless success is achieved in life's challenging areas, the journey to our destiny remains uncertain,  and the mission itself could be a failure. However difficult, the journey must continue. If Journey were a personality, it would be married to destiny for a lifetime. Journey on.

Premium Member His Goodness


The canopy lies still as it has since the beginning.
From space and outer space, the entire milky way
awaits new orders from its loving creator.

The canopy nor any of their kin knows when.
They only know that change is heading their way.
But until then, they wait patiently in the month of May.

Before time and eternity were ever set in motion, God knew.
Before light broke forth from the void of nothingness, God knew.
Before Lucifer's fall, God knew that He would make all things new.

Yes, the entire universe knows that God is up to something;
The timing of which not even the angels are informed.
We mortals keep attempting to predict the unpredictable.

Regardless of who or where we are, The whole earth is 'Ground Zero'.
The word 'huge' cannot begin to describe what God is up to.
But for all who trust Him, we can boldly say, "I'm good".

I'm not good in terms of the beauty and quality of my life,
nor have I done or could I do anything to deserve His mercy.
But His Goodness and love will cause all of creation to rejoice.

Premium Member What Then Is Life and Why

Before the Big Bang brought star dust 
To the interstellar scene
It must have been something like 
An unfathomably immeasurable self-inducing 
Divinely driven dream machine.
Mind forming matter as imagination 
Up the ladder 
Rungs of time;
Step by step and star by star
Unfolding Love sublime. 
Reaching out, emanating
From the center of All meaning;
Building blocks of trees and rocks 
More beautiful than being.   Born again 
Out of ashes
When fire filled the air
And all we knew was something drew
Us to life somewhere. 
Out of clay or the primordial egg
So the ancient stories subscribe
Old Adam and Eve and the snake in the tree
And history's first truth or dare or lie.  
What then, is life and why?
Could it be the unquenchable thirst for knowledge 
Hidden or forgotten throughout time?
Our inner connections to the Cosmic 
Creation, that set in motion every ocean 
And notion left to find?
Life is a living, dying, loving, lying
Uplifting, lowdown axe to grind.
With every minute of every breath
We suck in deep to breath
All the space, ideas and feelings,
Hopes, wants, cares and needs.  
And the long armed quest for nobleness
And the chance to reach deep realms, 
As Jason and the Argonauts were seeking 
Secrets in themselves. 
Down in the waves and dark filled caves
Where memories are never devoured;
Life is a terribly wonder-filled trip
Filled with heroes, 
         Monsters 
                And the beautiful 
                            Wild flowers.
