Because I live, I cannot alter the wind, but I can adjust my sails to ensure that I land safely all the time. By Poet
Because I live among humans and not angels
I cherish affection in all aspects of my life
We shall remain in love as long as we are alive
In our world, beauty is becoming scarcer
Moreover, we act as if nothing is significant
Because I live, delight stems solely from love
As social beings, that's just how we behave
And we are here to express and bestow passion
Recover cheerfully when life knocks you down
Our lifestyle is absurd, but we are not insane
Love, sympathy, and respect are what fuel us
Wealth is essential, but it's not everything
Realize that life unfolds as you're scheming
Either you grasp the day or it steers you
Oh, the golden radiance of the past is gone!
Sacred stones are now present everywhere
Our house is a beacon in the pitch-black night
Our mother's voice is audible in the shadows
Oh, poor kids, once worth their weight in gold
They are now regarded as pottery made of clay!
They are living oblivious to the lives they've changed
People gave other people purpose and brightness
Because I am yet alive, leaps are being made
Twists and connections abound throughout
Since our lives are connected, I get hollered at
My influence has been recognized frequently
I am, however, largely focused on my own life.

In the quiet of the night, they come,
Voices raised, hearts undone.
“Lord, Lord,” they cry, with fervent plea,
"Have we not prophesied in Your name, faithfully?
We cast out demons, healed the sick,
In Your name, our hearts did quick.
But in the silence, a voice so clear,
“Depart from Me, for I never knew you, My dear.”
For deeds alone, though grand they seem,
Cannot replace a heart redeemed.
In love and truth, we find our way,
To walk with Him, each blessed day.
So seek not just the works of hand,
But know His heart, and understand.
For in His grace, we find our place,
In the warmth of His eternal embrace.
This verse is from Matthew 7:22-23, where Jesus is teaching about the importance of genuine faith and relationship with Him, rather than just performing religious acts.
Here’s a deeper look into its meaning:
Context:
This passage is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus addresses various aspects of righteous living and warns against false prophets.
Meaning:
• “Many will come and say, ‘Lord, Lord’”: This indicates that many people will claim to know Jesus and call Him their Lord.
• “Have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons, and healed the sick?”: These are significant religious acts, suggesting that the people believe their works should earn them favor with Jesus.
• “And I will proclaim, ‘Depart from Me, for I never knew you!’”: Jesus emphasizes that mere actions, even miraculous ones, are not enough. What matters is a true, personal relationship with Him.
Key Takeaways:
1. Genuine Relationship: Jesus values a sincere, personal relationship over outward religious activities.
2. Heart Over Deeds: It’s not just about what we do, but the state of our heart and our connection with Him.
3. Warning Against Hypocrisy: This serves as a warning to those who might rely solely on their works without truly knowing Jesus.
This verse encourages believers to focus on cultivating a deep, authentic relationship with Jesus, rooted in love and faith, rather than just performing religious duties.
Sometimes a simple question
needs a simple answer,
other times, a lecture.
I adhere to the principle of truthfulness, irrespective of the consequences. He asked if I had any affection for him, which reminded me of a mathematical question posed by my second-grade teacher. Maintaining a composed manner, I replied in the negative. His response exhibited a noticeable change in demeanor. I firmly believe that honesty holds significant value, regardless of potential outcomes. The inquiry, "Do you love me?" has been addressed to me on numerous occasions, more than I am inclined to mention; I interpret it as a politically charged statement.

Sometimes a simple question
Needs a simple answer
Other times, a lecture.
And as for me, I hate having long, drawn-out lectures
Today I am celebrating my 69th Sunday, 2026
It is well with my soul.
"Help me ... to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield"
Quote by - Tennyson
My tears could fill the ocean blue,
because my heart is forever shattered;
your deaths have my soul bleeding,
and my spirit is broken, broken;
Lord, give me strength for today !
Mom, when you died I just withdrew,
I was empty of emotion and done;
and I would not listen to people,
all help and questions I ignored;
Lord, give me courage for today !
When I said farewell and adieu,
to Daddy- gone was my anchor and rock;
it was so sudden that I was lost;
oh, I will always recall the exact time;
Lord, help me to surrender my pain !
Grandma left me with the morn' dew,
she had taken this child in her arms to mend;
and had been my inspiration to write,
the reason poetic words are now my life;
Lord, help me accept all this grief, sorrow!
I visit and pass a statue,
of a weeping angel at his cold grave;
my love, I know you want me to go on,
but to grieving your death I did and do;
Lord, hold me in your arms when I am afraid !
Again, I was in a church pew,
weeping the loss of my sweet baby boy;
we buried him with a little blue teddy bear,
his death took away what was left of me;
Lord, carry me in your arms when I am weeping !
But, somehow this sad girl got through,
it took courage and strength and lots of tears;
it did not happen fast but took me years,
and I now whisper each day healing prayers;
Lord, I give you all my sorrow so I can let it go !
From- The Book of the Prophet Isaiah,
Verse 43:2 When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou
shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

First Place
I thought I would go backwards
Into my uncertain
My awkward
The days of my wondering
What will I be when I grow up?
Will I ever grow up?
Is everyone better than me?
Boy I wish I could be more like that
That guy
Yep him
The athletic confident one
Words come so easy to him
Jokes flow freely from his lips
And they laugh
They love being with him
What's it like to be that self assured?
He has so many friends
None of them would ever talk to me
What would it be like to hang out with the cool kids?
I try telling myself
It doesn't matter
I have a few friends
I want it to be enough
I think it's enough
With them
I imagine and pretend
To be funny
Interesting
Until
One smile
One chuckle at a time
I gradually become me
A better more confident self
Assured
Witty
A lover of words
Dialogue
Conversation
I talk my way towards my future
While listening for clues
Building myself two by twos
Real friends are the ones I choose
Their words
Teach me about them and myself
I don't hide on lonely street
There are more people to meet
So I jump up off my seat
Rewrite myself on many a sheet
Until I can follow and hear my internal beat
Do what needs doing
Repeat and repeat
Until I come to here and now
Breathless with WOW
Understanding HOW
That uncertain and awkward part
Changed everything
It still is
And
Always
Will be
An important part of me
Because it helped me see
There are many many
Incredible
Significant and individual
ways to be
So now I choose

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
LOVE, REVOLUTIONARY MAGIC
The word, the love act
it's totally significant
and revolutionary ...
Plots beauty in ugliness,
joy in sadness ...
It is fullness in emptiness,
immensity in nothing,
union in disunity,
concord in discord,
I agree in disagreement,
peace in war ...
All. even without
reciprocity...
If shared,
it's multiple ...
divine ...!
Westernmost in its regional placement and traditional identity,
rare but indigenous is its Arabian flavour,
and a significant bridge of peace
between its brothers and their common enemy.
Displays an open tradition, appreciative of diabolism
as witches are integral part of its cultural settlements.
Typical of its nucleus is a combination of minarets structured worship centers,
Bazaars, sections called medinas and lasbali fortresses.
Its riches in wood stored up through the Atlas mountains
has milked its way from the dashboards of the Rolls Royce brand
and its possession of the “mother of all flowers”
has given the French creative experts a reason to fancy the world.
Public bath are greatly preferred to private ones
to flatter socialization in shrines of ritual purification.
Its rare ideology in liver displacing the heart in love’s symbolism
gives a perceived cosmic effect of its cute uniqueness.
The “assembly of the dead” and the Tomb of John the Baptist
are hugely important in its global historic relevance.
Just the way Aid al-kebir is held highly
so also is handling of food with the right hand
and as well in the acceptance of offered meat.
The glory of such a symbolic geography never stay silent
because the constant whispers of its honour,
despite not a continental union member
is evidenced by its official friendship to the world power
which is the first ever, among hundreds of many more.
My confusion comes from too much doing. During the news
eating cheese and crackers, drinking wine, thinking the world
needs me.
Or the falling leaves, the days shorter but so much brighter.
How the cloud cover of the canopy has lifted to reveal
maybe God.
The longest continuous democracy may end in another theocracy.
A bunch of voodooists with their hocus pocus blessings
and understandings.
Bombs and poison. Grief. Chiseled, tearless face.
Chants gregorian. Her sad, clear, soulful missives from
the city.
Unbelievable acorn crop this year! Skate on them
like marbles. Last year was a maple year. The ash crop
significant, too.
But not the cherries. Or a single pear. Blackberries
held back too. Sure the towers were a violation, but they came to
hold community.
One stands not apart or alone but an individual within
his or her platoon. Committed to the mission and survival of
the platoon.
Fedex leaves a package. There is or is no anthrax
in it. It is our disappointment as Americans that the world cannot
be trusted.
Yes, New York is the enemy and brother of Kabul. How
does one reconcile those differing communities and be a non-
violent human?
With words. Wendell Berry's words. And service such as
the secretaries of state give, leaving when one's time and work
is done.
Staying in the diatonic. Agreeing first on rules of engagement.
Then engaging. Not stopping the fight or thought or song until the fight
is done.
