You chase sleep into a dream
without any guarantee.
And dance upon a moonbeam
gilding a navy blue sea.
You may ride a shooting star
simply to know how it feels.
Or view your life from afar
in a series of reveals.
Truths dissipate in dreamland:
their existence, swallowed whole.
For time's but a grain of sand
falling into a black hole.
Dreams let you soar to the stars
on imagination's wings.
And walk the surface of Mars:
or run around Saturn's rings.
Secure in fantasy's grip,
sleep conjures dragons to mount.
Letting reality slip,
there's nothing you can't surmount.
Basking in mirth’s pleasure from seizure’s test
striving boy blends well with Mom’s crooning voice
outgrowing not delights of lullabies
wafting joyous bonding blest wonderment.
Around gracious love-sealed partnership-zest
so oblivious of burdensome noise
candid son shows secrets, devoid of lies
through language Mom grasps in her discernment.
By sweet kiss of innocent caress’ best
dear tot greets Mom with his jubilant poise
acting serene, though spastic-angst defies
championing steadfast care merriment.
Mom does surmount nurturing challenges' height
midst thanksgiving bliss for special child's flight.
*2Corinthians 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

I’m driven by a special child
awesomely tame, never has gone wild
though in my service, he’s technically tied
against impact we both have already defied…
such ensures that chaotic challenges keep us on safe side.
By the special child’s gear
forward, we march toward victory flair
onward faith’s venture, we zoom and dare
triumphantly navigating with care, smiting fear…
keeping us hope-propped, brightening cheerers’ joy-filled tear.
Soaring midst miracles’ might
persevering to reach greater height
painstakingly, we vanquish disability’s blight
as he innocently trusts my expertise along prayer-plight…
ignoring his impairment fright, gripped by peace-illumined sight.
Bursting with zest, he conquers spasticity’s pest
hurdling over obstacles’ crest toward milestone’s nest
never letting seizures’ rest to hold his will around comfort’s breast
despite being wheelchair bound, he does surmount imprisonment test…
yes, I’m a genuine witness to the fullest, for to him, I’m the nearest and closest.
As his custom-made mobility device, I want him to fly
indeed, wishing him to giggle with mirth in touching the sky
while together, we explore up high toward championship-sigh
rejuvenated to maximize partnership midst his gestures of “You and I”…
functionally fulfilling our roles with joy against doubts, haunting with “why.”
He, entrusted to the orphanage in his diagnosis pain
accordingly, would “progress toward retrogression” terrain
yet, with God’s compassion and mercy, transformation he did gain
surrounded by kindness-bliss against attacking apathy’s gloom-strain…
now, his “Most Improved” award shows that blest dreams midst nightmares reign.
"There can be no rose without a thorn,
Same applies for humans,
We are all imperfect here,
This acceptance is crucial to life here"
_______________________________________
Am I a rose or a thorn, I often wonder here...
Many a times I have helped others,
brought joy to their faces,
helped them surmount problems,
sprinkled happiness around.
At those times I have been a rose in the life of others,
a rose which spreads it's fragrance,
a rose which gives joy immense.
There have been times when unknowingly, unintentionally,
I have spoken words that are negative,
they've hurt others feelings and emotions,
I have despised myself for that.
At those times I have been a thorn,
a thorn that pricks,
a thorn that hurts.
Although unintentionally, sometimes while trying to help others,
I have made mistakes, messed up things for them,
I have increased problems for them.
At those times I have been a thorn for them,
though unintentional, I have pricked them.
Am I a rose or a thorn? I often wonder here...
We all want to be roses in others life,
but sometimes become thorns.
sometimes unintentionally,
sometimes out of no choice.
Many a times we have to prick,
to save ourselves from hurts and abuses.
If someone hurls false criticism,
we have to prick then and their,
otherwise it will linger on in our mind,
for days all together.
A rape victim cannot be a rose!
Nor can an abused house wife!
We cannot always be roses!
we have to be thorn at time,
for we have a duty towards our body,
its happiness and protection is our duty!
I am a rose and a thorn depending on the situation,
I am a normal human.

July 30 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Isaiah 9-12
Key Verse – Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
HEART THAT SETTLES PEACEFULLY IN THE ZEAL OF THE LORD
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against discouragement
So that we can surmount with faith trials’ entrapment
As steadfast saints by His presence of mighty empowerment
Never more to wallow in frustration-sentiment.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against dissatisfaction
So that we can overcome worldliness’ vexation
As fortunate heirs by His salvation of assured redemption
Never more to complain with discontentment-reaction.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against dishonesty
So that we can resist cheating’s intensity
As converted believers by His forgiveness of gracious authority
Never more to struggle midst righteousness-certainty.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against disturbance
So that we can conquer fear’s dominance
As valiant soldiers by His strength of strong endurance
Never more to cower because of fright-grievance.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against disrespect
So that we can subdue humanism’s intellect
As transformed learners by His guidance of wise aspect
Never more to ponder midst vanity-retrospect.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against distress
So that we can rejoice over gloom’s duress
As jubilant Christians by His sovereignty of supreme fortress
Never more to linger in failure-stress.
Our heart settles peacefully in the zeal of the Lord against dismay
So that we can move on from downfall’s delay
As repentant sinners by His pardon of merciful way
Never more to compromise in worldliness-array.

He won’t fit inside a church
He won’t fit inside a thought
He won’t fit inside a hope
Yet He fits inside a heart
He is light and He is love
He lavishes us, each one, with good
He restores us when we doubt
He reminds us we can always surmount
The enemies that seems to cloud
Our joy, our hope, our inspiration
The feelings that create in us
A grace that rains down His love
He won’t fit inside a dream
He won’t fit inside a house
He won’t fit inside a song
Yet He will fit inside the soul
He is the wonder that leads us on
The feeling of promise that teaches our hearts
The beauty and joy of knowing His love
Abides within us, where He will fulfill us
He is the kindness and the strength
That brings us beyond all the sorrow and grief
He destroys the darkest dread, despair
Reassures our hearts that we always have a prayer
He won’t fit inside a star
He won’t fit inside a cathedral
He won’t fit inside a religion
Yet, He will fit inside the spirit
He is wise and He is trustworthy
His light reflects the peace that is His
Sign – His crest – His insignia that suggests
He knows our hearts, our souls, our spirits
He tears down all the walls we’ve built
With our worries, our fears and our suspicions
He shows us how to love, unconditionally, completely
With a love that He inspires, rousing inside
The one who knows He is the answer to each prayer
The reason for our desires, our hopes, our dreams
The reason for our joy, our kindness, our faith
The reason for a love that lives throughout eternity
He won’t fit inside a mind
But He will fit inside a life!
1 Kings 8:27 (KJV) – But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
“Wondrously overwhelming is God’s goodness that leads recipient toward wondrous good works.” By the Poet
God’s overwhelming love prevails
Freeing heart from sin-chaining pain
Since blest compassion never fails
Offering life eternal gain.
Christ’s overwhelming saving light
Always glows midst radiant grace
Cheering faith toward service height
To surmount tests along life’s race.
The Spirit’s overwhelming peace
Keeps on refreshing weary soul
Midst serene care that does not cease
For zest that props reaching-out goal.
I’m overwhelmed as I draw nigh*
To my Saviour for triumph’s fly.
*James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

for 10 seconds Serena Williams danced
the Crypt walk at the Super Bowl
and because of those ten seconds
the world completely lost control
In 2012 she also danced after
her London tennis championship win
yet the world's perception of that
produced a negative spin
how dare this Black woman
dominate their sport?
how dare this Black woman
dance on their tennis court?
resilience in our joy is what
Black women are all about
we may fall down but we bounce back
with nary a doubt
for our resilience grows out of
our challenges, disappointments and pain
our ability to bounce back
is how we have sustained
somehow, some way we will always
show up and show out
for in our resilience and in our resistance
any situation we will surmount
after fleeing from the Egyptian pharaoh
Miriam and her sisters danced for joy
their resilience and resistance in their oppression
kept their spirits from being destroyed
as women have been resilient
since the beginning of time
because our strength of character and adaptability
gives us the fortitude to perpetually climb
out of life's pits of despair and abysses of hell
women keep on bouncing back
as the joy in us continuously swells
we got biblical joy that allows us to rejoice
and be a joy to God
which gives us our resilience
and the strength of heart
for it is in the presence of God where we find
healing and comfort for our souls
where we get a fullness of spirit
that makes us joyful and whole
we get resilience in our dancing
which is the embodiment of true joy
because dancing releases endorphins
our pleasure hormones get deployed
we get resilience in community
because as women we move in unity
we find our joy in our sisterhood as our strength
in each other manifests communally
transformative resilience allows us
to bounce forward and not bounce backward in life
as we move in resistance with persistence
wielding our Spirit of the Sword in the name of Christ
no longer will we be reluctant to show the world
our Blackity-Black
for we are women with a resilient joy
and we got our godly bounce back
You move with effortless grace.
As I steal a glance of your chiseled face.
A sheepish smile makes my heart stop beating.
To not get hurt again, should I be retreating?
I am "damaged goods" and I can't take that away.
Afraid that forever that's the way I'll stay.
My smile hides all the hurt I have been through.
Tell me, what will be so different about you?
Can you help erase all that has been said and done?
Need me, so that I won't turn around to run.
I have lost myself too many times to count.
Will your affections be enough for my fear to surmount?
You caress my cheek and steal my breath.
Please Goddess take me away from this living death.
Help to favorably bear upon my tattered and bleeding soul.
Use the elements to once again make me whole.
I beseech you to bless me with a favor from your heart.
Have pity on me as I silently fall apart.
I am unsure of how much more heartache I can take.
Listen closely and you can hear my heart slowly break.
I wait for him to hold my face and gently kiss me.
My chest tightens and I can hardly breathe.
I wait with bated breath for his lips to finally meet mine.
Our hearts and bodies long to intertwine.
I feel his gaze on me as I shamelessly daydream.
Heat rushing to my cheeks as the tears fall in a stream.
How could I get caught with my heart out on my sleeve?
I'm not sure his love is a goal I'm able to achieve.
I taciturnly say a prayer to help me find some peace.
In hopes that my fears will acquire a way to cease.
Need me, love me, find me, see me in a different light.
My heart recognizes you and I no longer want to try to fight.
