SPONTANEOUS  ART

My spontaneity
  of pure chance style
is to use
paper on a handheld
A4  clip board as a work board
 &upon it
use a 6 pack of 'primary
  (no smudging/quick drying)
 paint sticks)
then
to experiment 
    therewith randomly
exploring abstractly
with these colours
¬ caring if I
  overlapped onto
 the underlaying
  smaller sized
       paper beneath

 in addition to these sticks
 using other media e.g tippex,pencils biros...
   (whatever came to hand)

Sometimes
using the smaller underlying
smudged artwork to rub( when wet)
    . randomly upon the others
to create
 'spontaneous' effects
& also cutting out shapes
 therefrom
   that appeared to me
as something ie animals faces
   or whatever.

Premium Member Appetite Delight

Pleased with your delightful appetite
I offer freshly-cooked corn*, so sweet
Satiate your cravings for goodness’ might
Enabling cheerful gratitude tweet.

There’s more; get some; great blessings abound
Savor each grain midst contentment cheer
Munch well along heart’s mirth; good health’s sound
Since I’m inspired to feed you, my son, dear.

With food on the table, we’re thankful
Pleased to enjoy fruits of ardent toil 
Sharing with others, indeed blissful
Acknowledging the Source, with faith’s coil.

*Joel 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn … and ye shall be satisfied therewith.

Echoes

Endless sorrow and great danger
Beautiful city filled with blood
The redness will end, so will the dispersing blood
Right or wrong will be a luxury for the weak
Like few waves coursing the calm sea 

Battling the fear of chaos
ladened heart harboured
misery, hatred, bitterness
Spreading like wild night fires 

Conflicting emotions littered heart's dreams
Confessing concealed pains from its archive
awaiting the purgatory that comes therewith
neither grace nor resentment 

Hold aloft the horn of hope
blowing till not a grasp of air left
unburdening the worries that piled as _Olumo_
calling to the heaven, payment to the collar
solace not lost but sold on auction
who have been to the other side and back?......

Premium Member Content By Christ's Strength

Abased, I am content.
Hungry, I suffer need.
Feasting, I rejoice and feed.
Abounding, I am sent.

Abounding, I am sent.
Feasting, I rejoice and feed.
Hungry, I suffer need.
Abased, I am content.

Christ, You provide strength to endure
whatever is my lot.
As strength in You is sought,
my hope remains secure.

Philippians 4:11-13 KJV

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Silver Queen

Spinners twirling,
Silver swirling,
Conjured magic dinner plate.
Her eyes devising,
Hypnotizing,
Glittered, gleaming, polished slate.

She knits a dress
With silky tress,
She puts her prowess in the stitch,
And gives her guest
A lovely rest.
Her kisses halt the latent twitch.

She lays her head,
upon the thread,
and watching sky and sea and moon,
inquires whence about her prince,
and if he'll come to find her soon.

For when his gaze
upon her lays,
and legs creep onto bed and tomb,
Therewith his wife
craft pearls of life,
as he gives his to fill her womb.

Her children grow,
and briskly go,
on strings of air and brazen pride.
they sing goodbye,
and off they fly!
To calling wind, they all abide.

Her great delight
Is pale moonlight,
It makes her shining quilt unseen,
And brings a score
right to her door;
The lofty, royal silver queen.


My Poem

my life
very weak and lonely
It was an isolated life
than the light of the world
in the dark of the world
was happier
When everyone was on their way to success
leaving my life behind
crawling
falling over
Leaning on the enemy's shoulder
tearful
it was such a life
Still in the swamp of my life
a flower has always bloomed
The flower bloomed, withered, and then bloomed again
didn't brag of
stayed by my side, therewith,
as I start to see it
my life
no longer sad
no longer exercise

like now
in the future
like the old days

By evening,
at a table in a quiet restaurant
sitting face to face with you
Noodles and fried fish
When it's time to eat with vegetable sauce
poems are my life
messed up. both
become my flesh and my blood
I wake up again
opening the restaurant door and let me go
towards the world
with you.

Premium Member The Forks of Life

The finest of wisdom and prophetic gifts are limited.
All human knowledge and understanding are finite.
I can think of at least two things that are inevitable.
In one form or other, taxes is certain the world over.                                      All life forms, without exception, are destined to die.

Concerning taxes?  Decisions and choices can be made relative to quantity and regularity.  However, if we live, buy, or sell, we shall pay certain forms or kinds of taxes.  In some respects, even the dead also pay taxes.

Speaking of the dead, death is the certain “inescapable”.
Choices do come into play, relative to lifestyle choices. Accidents, crimes, war, sickness, and diseases are major contributors in assisting us in reaching our final destiny.

Although death is certain, there are certain choices on our  part as well as that of others that may alter or delay death.  Furthermore, there are many factors that determine what become of our lives or what we do therewith.  So much of what I do between the dashes makes a world of difference                  with regards to my destiny.

There are the ‘facts of life’, but there are also the ‘forks of life'.  It is unrealistic for me to say that when I come to a fork in the road, I will take it.  At the fork, a choice is forced upon me to go left, right, or turn around.  Of course I may also choose to do neither, and till death, spend my wheels at the fork.

A tree, a flower, or a roe of vegetable plants have different reasons for existence before they reach their final destinies.  Moreover,  they must be properly and carefully nourished  if they are to realize their ultimate purpose.  Certain interactions have to take place.  Whether it be the sun, the rain, the bees, the human touch, or all the above, there simply is no worthwhile life without cooperation between the solar system, earth elements, and all the species.
Our creator has graciously provided all those ‘facts of life’;
But it is up to us to choose and decide at the ‘forks of life’.

Premium Member Neither Here Nor There

Between neither here nor there
an entire life holds its breath.
as I straddle the inevitable,
marking time between life's lines.

Caught in transition,
Almost here, yet almost there,
living in the footnotes
of an ending hard to bear.

My shadow crosses the line;
the rest of me hesitates.
Time gathers its coat,
weary of waiting at the gate.

Almost this and almost that,
in-between here and there,
the parallel lines at last converge;
there becomes here; then becomes now.

When all horizons disappear
and distance dissolves,
every elsewhere becomes an arrival. 
Here and there intertwine at last,
and every therewith discovers 
it's been a herewith all along.

Premium Member PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR ENABLING US TO SEARCH OUT HIS WISDOM

July 23 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Ecclesiastes 1-4

Key Verse – Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR ENABLING US 
TO SEARCH OUT HIS WISDOM	

Praise be to God for enabling us to search out His wisdom that:
Drives us toward His approval 
Directs us along His affirmation
Defends us against apprehending anxieties
Deters us from anchoring upon awful affairs
Delights us in appreciating His awesomeness midst our adoration

Ecclesiastes 2:26 Praise be to the Lord for 
giving us what is good that is never a:
Vanity along spiritual endeavor
Vexation in the salvation toward eternity 
Void, but satisfying with security so everlasting 
Venture of selfishness that is springing from egotism 
Vagueness, but a vision valued by the Scriptures earnestly

Ecclesiastes 3:14 Praise be to the Saviour for 
doing perfectly best forever by His:
Purpose, propelled along perfection-pursuit
Plan, prompted toward productivity-performance
Provisions, packed with His peace in our prayerfulness
Prudence, prodded through His precepts prevailing persistently
Power, pushed to propel our posture for principled progressive prosperity

Ecclesiastes 4:9 Praise be to the Almighty for 
rewarding our labour:
Governed by His grace
Geared through His goodness
Guided by His good goal gladly
Guarded against guiltiness and grief
Gripped with His greatness for His glory. Amen!

Premium Member HEART THAT SEEKS AND SEARCHES GOD BY HIS WISDOM

July 24 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Ecclesiastes 1-4

Key Verse – Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

HEART THAT SEEKS AND SEARCHES GOD BY HIS WISDOM

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of righteous holiness
While thanking Him for pardoning our confessed sinfulness…
When we struggle in our hard-headedness
He upholds us through His sanctification’s fruitfulness.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of gracious bounty
While praising Him for meeting our oppressive scarcity…
When we complain in our discontentment-filled vanity
He builds us up by His satisfaction’s entirety.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of secured assurance
While trusting Him for the healing of our afflicted appearance…
When we hide in our distressed endurance
He restores us by His love’s deliverance.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of prudent direction
While relying in Him for the molding of our acknowledged imperfection…
When we react in our humanistic disposition
He teaches us by His Word’s instruction.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of compassionate fervency
While depending in Him for the strengthening of our tired persistency…
When we waver in our selfish complacency
He reaches out to us by His kindness’ mercy.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of truthful settlement
While exalting Him for anchoring our prayed-for fulfillment…
When we falter in our vowed commitment
He guides us by His leadership’s engagement.

Our heart seeks and searches God by His wisdom of heavenly territory
While saluting Him for partnering in our ministry’s victory…
When we faint in our weariness-misery
He assists us by His might’s glory.
