Premium Member God Walks Warmly Alongside Death

Warmly describes a human emotion,
understandably applied for humans to
pleasure, as it's biblically written
where the prophets of old and new
entertained the clueless population
yet obstacles hinder The Word's view.
 
Then and now, wrapped up in doubt
full of opinions, mostly their devices
deceptive or modify wherefrom the clout
synagogues or churches, advice is
from the pulpits that sermons rout
the ignorants who'll lose their soul's price.
 
One crucified along the side of Christ
asked for forgiveness before his death
was promised Heaven as his sacrifice
yet the Gospel of John kept his breath
but Matthew, Mark, and Luke spliced
the mocker didn't drink hell's lethe.

Yet Catholicism, Western, and Eastern 
Orthodox, The Gospel of Nicodemus empowers
and Arabics who follow the Abraham version
except for most Protestants distant from cowers
to the acts of The Roman Martyrology diversion
was renamed Saint Dimas for those bowers.

The Word of God anointed Christ, The Prince of Peace
and the first resurrection was Lazarus' versed in The New
and Elijah's wheel was versed in The Old piece
God spake His voice, and Christ virtually knew
and rose from the dead, the advent increased
while death and birth are The Word's points of view.

Birth created life and waits for death to do its part
death identifies those precursors of sin 
and death succeeds forgiveness for those who impart
as the dead will rise and breathe within
while their blessed souls rejuvenate and claim Heaven's depart,
angelic host resurrected flights for Heaven.

Premium Member Flow of Light, Glistening Bright


John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

I walk past the sorrows
breaking through my silent plans –
plans my heart borrows
from the song flowing through my hands…

song of light, a seeker, believer
resting on the words of His mouth
words that I, as a seeker, with a fever
rest in as it journeys from north to south

I walk past the pain
remembering He is with me
it’s all so very plain
so I fall to my knee…

sanctified, holy, blessed
by the wonder of His light
falling over me when I’m stressed
soothing me so I feel all right

I walk past the darkest of nights
and feel Him with me, so alive
comforting, bringing me to new heights
with Him, I’ll continue to thrive

it’s Him, His light, His love
that shines through the skies
answering me from up above
so that I can surely surmise…

this Jesus who silences my doubts
He frees me from all of my fears
my heart, it screams and shouts
when His love wipes away my tears

I walk past all the past’s shadows
and look beyond the grief I’ve known
to the wonderous light who’ll compose
a song for the One who sits on the throne.

listen to the music as it tells of His gift
I’ve been washed by blood that saved me
blood that gave my heart and soul a lift
thanks to Him, I’m saved and forever free!

Premium Member Cries For Healing-Need

"Lord, grant Your divine healing..."
This is my spirit's plea
Now that I'm confronted with my Dad's groaning angst
While he writhes in pain, struggling to express himself
Here in the Intensive Care Unit which is his haven this Christmas season.

"Lord, your miraculous healing is needed..."
This is my soul's whining
Whenever I see my Dad's agonizing response
Toward seemingly endless needle pricks, catheter changes, suction insertions
As he strives, yet suffering, to seek relief.

"Lord, pour out your healing that's merciful..."
This is my constant prayer
Since my Dad's afflicting blood sugar count
Along unstable blood pressure rise
Oppresses him grievously midst laboured breathing.

"Lord, Your gracious healing* is besought..."
This is my humble cry
With faith in His power for my Dad's health-restoration
So as to recuperate from his stroke
Toward praise-filled thanksgiving and joyous homecoming.

*Luke 9:11 ... He (Jesus Christ) received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

Premium Member Salute To Divine Writers

Ordained to declare words divine
reverberating with “Thus saith the Lord”
they documented awesome miracles
exposing wondrous historical occurrences
proclaimed among precepts and statutes.

Inditing* blessed Scriptures
they were scribes of spiritual calling
endowed with understanding and wisdom
not according to their own mind
but upon illumination of the omniscient Holy Ghost.**

Honoured with their diligence
along heavenly vision’s guidance 
they published the Creator’s supreme chronicles
commencing with Genesis patriarchs in their faith fulfilling
to culminate toward Revelation for Christ’s eternal kingdom reign.

Thus, their devotion is commended 
by what they have done, many souls have been freed
reached with the Almighty’s mercy and grace
blessed while reading His living Book with trust…
today, I am what I am by the Saviour’s love, expressed by the Bible.

*Psalm 45:1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

**2Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Premium Member LIGHT THAT LIGHTS ALL LIGHTS

Light* that lights all lights continues to glow 
triumphant midst woe toward jubilant today 'til tomorrow.

Blest light wakes soul up 
perking with God's prop.

Divine light wafts hope
propels faith midst cope.

Sun light for work height
prods glad labour might.

Light to brighten time
sounds achievement chime.

Gentle light ends grief
ushers joy's relief.

Smiling light from face
defies angst; shows grace.

Pardon light we see
makes our spirits free.

Light against stress-hush
quiets heart's strong rush.

Light amidst love bliss
never should we miss.

Lord of light brings joys
cheers restive night’s poise.

Light that lights all lights smites evil darkness' blights
illumining humankind toward goodness' delights.

*John 8:12 - Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Premium Member SYMPHONY OF THE SUNRISE

Invited by the vibrant firmament 
for a celestial spectacle
here am I yielding with exuberance
ready to behold sunrise miracles
yet was likewise divinely enthralled 
by its offered symphony …
     angelic orchestra
     renders heavenly melodies
midst kaleidoscopic blends of dawn radiance
     as harps of praises prevail
     over crescendo of worship-exaltation
while sun continually conquers the sky
with triumphant golden blaze 
      that heralds cheering allegro of jubilant hymns
     accompanying trumpets' staccato for championship march 
proving its assigned function by the sovereign Creator
as the “greater light to rule the day”---
     serenely reigning with the adagio of seraphim's harmony
     and cherubim's rhythmic hums soothingly sweet.
Oh, here am I, captivated spiritually
anticipating the coming of the “Light”* with all His glory…
and yes, thankful for this poetic prompt 
yielding this muse.

*John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO CLEANSES US	

Praise be to God for cleansing us

Power so we can prevail over temptations
Peace against transgression-turbulence
Prosperity so we can progress against trials

encourages us to present ourselves before Him: 
Carried by His salvation-security
Cleansed from sinfulness
Clothed in His sanctification
Commanded by His Scriptures
Called into His sanctuary

Leviticus 15:14 Praise be to the Saviour 
for inviting us to come before Him:
Bathed into His purifying water
Bending to His proven Word
Burning through His powering worship
Blooming around His performing work
Bowing along His pursuing watchfulness
Believing in His protecting perfect ways 
Blessed with His prospering wealth. Amen!

Maintain One's Composure

from  the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 
     the waters shall fill the void
            a new Ocean in Africa
        the East African Rift Valley
wealth and fertility might the men of
             tomorrow  prosper
and might the woman of tomorrow love
                 love there men
    might a world marvel at waters
   life giving and destructive powers

                       might what advice from 
                        Neptune yet his ambition
                       could cause us not to trust
                              the sandy shores
                    to be areas where his mermaids
                               tan and worship him
                      No,no spake Mami Wata through
           the ages they shall marvel at the power of God
                     ever puddle and every stream shall
