Maid arise;
In a village house;
A maiden laid out to rest;
Presumed dead by the family;
But alas...
Even with witness;
She shall arise;
Maid arise;
But alas...
Her eyes closed;
Death clothes worn;
Family scorn;
Villagers and friend and family know!!
A maiden laid out to rest;
Presumed dead by the family;
Maid arise;
But alas...
The parents heard Jesus spoke;
"Fear not, believe only, she shall be whole" this He spoke so.
Those doubters,
He took her by the hand and called out
"Maid arise",
Come open thine eyes
ARISE
Spirit come again into me
ARISE
straightway come
Allow my heart to feel again
Lord, My God help me breathe again
Give me meat for my physical needs
Give me manna for my spiritual needs
Arise Oh! daughter Rise
Yes was in this village house;
A maiden laid out to rest;
Presumed dead by the family;
But alas... before our eyes
Maid arise;

"AKKINA DOWNING"
***Waterfalls***
A river’s passage to rock-walled heights of mountain clifts to no longer find a straightway ahead along more accepting ground but to be soon upset at the sudden edge’s denial of place where
The dynamic current’s bed is sliced away causing the river’s chaos collapse down
Having first started first over Earth-exalted terrain then set hurtling down
The flowing river surging as if in physical angst accelerates flash down
Falling surprised nearly shocked but see how then seemingly gleeful and gleaming from above to below and down
Gurgled splashes in silver streaks thrown shining back up mark the. instants of how storm alarms streamed currents over to down
On down to spiral in a toll of rolling over and over on itself this intent artery having lost shape altering identity from river to falls down
Bottom speeds gyrating wrapping about hunting release to find a new dominion a new level healing ground in another valley of the opening light of life spreading forth…

Thanks be to God
Once when we lived way up north where it's real cold in winter,
We had a dog named Leroy, it's him I now remember.
We took him from a real bad home where he was abused and beaten.
The man was going to shoot him for that man was a cretin.
Leroy was a Beagle cross with Doxie or Corgi mixed in.
Whatever was his background it made a real good blend.
He really took to me straightway, became my biggest fan.
My little buddy through and through and I thought he was grand.
He was a funny little guy, he had a thing for cats.
He didn't want to hurt them but adopted them as pets.
My neighbor came to me one day for help with her new kitten.
It wouldn't play games with her dog as would her big cat, Mitten.
I told her that would come in time that she must just be patient.
The kitten had to learn to trust, she couldn't be impatient.
I went over to her house and there to my surprise,
Was Cougar, our big, buff cat with great big amber eyes.
"Cougar! What are you here for? I better take you home!
I'm sorry that he's in your house. He usually doesn't roam."
My neighbor told me, "That's my cat."
"Oh no' I said, 'he's mine."
Leroy looked up at the cat. No doubt was in his mind.
The cat looked down at Leroy. He stiffened in my arms.
How was he to know this dog really meant no harm.
Leroy leaped up off the ground. He barked,"Come on, let's play!"
The cat exploded in a cloud of cat hair, spit and spray.
My chest and arms were bleeding, pee ran down my shirt.
My neighbor looked concerned and said, "Judy, are you hurt?"
"I really thought he was my cat. You'd think there'd be some sign."
My neighbor looked at me and laughed, "I told you he was mine."
When through my window flew a tiny bird,
she straightway went to where she chose to roost.
I laughed because it seemed a bit absurd
her perching on my bed post! I deduced
she'd lost her way, but now that she was here,
she seemed at home. She cocked her head at me
as if she had a thing to say. No fear
did she display, no sign that she would flee.
She had the sky and trees. What could she need
inside my little room? Why did she stay?
I offered her, from open hand, a seed.
She bent and pecked at it right where it lay.
The world is huge. . . we're free! Yet what explains
that from my room now pours a bird's sweet strains?

The most natural response to any adversity,
Is to groan, plead, or seek another to blame.
But God has a purpose for each of our trials,
Though others, at times, we might try to defame.
The lord allows adversity to enter our lives,
And temptation is inevitable but sin isn’t you know.
For every temptation God makes a way of escape,
And with each temptation our faith should grow.
We can never fathom just what God is planning,
Because HIS thoughts are too profound to know.
We may straightway see results of our trials,
But always we’ll harvest from the seeds we sow.
dramatic verse
LORD, your mission I long to fulfill.
I know at times I hinder Your grace.
BELIEVE, You plead. -- I believe until
HELP is put on hold and doubts displace
THOU, God, the one Master of my will
MY deepest need is strength to erase
UNBELIEF -- to wait patiently still.
I need you Savior, LORD, my Surety,
counting it joy when I profess You are mine.
So when I fail to BELIEVE deplorably,
questioning your HELP, asking for signs,
O how very great THOU art, I sing to thee.
In your presence, MY faith I refine
and break off UNBELIEF, infidelity.
Jesus Christ, my unchanging LORD
totally pardons me I know. Once I
made my original choice to BELIEVE,
He’s always been nearby to HELP.
Reprove me, O Holy Spirit, THOU
can remove what I do not need-- MY
self-seeking pride, alas my UNBELIEF.

inspired by:Mark 9:23-24, (when Christ healed the boy of demonic spirits)
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
The production of godly living
means to put filth and sin away
this is done by being meek
receive the implanted word to stay
Having this word for your souls good
so do what God’s words clearly says
but not just to hear these scriptures only
commit to do this in all your earthly days
Don’t be like that mirror man
looks at himself then does forget
what he has seen there pone wonders
deceiving himself of who he has met
The one who will fully persevere
who’s seen freedom’s law perfectly
will act on what’s been heard
to do God’s revealed will correctly
This is indeed the blessed child of God
receiving grace from their merciful Lord
(James 1:21-25
"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted
word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer
of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth
himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into
the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.")
