Premium Member Words Are To Writers

Words are to writers like flowers to bees, 
Oil to engines and thank you to please. 
They may be as heavy as concrete or lead 
Or light as feather and thoughts in our heads. 

They may cut like a knife and bite like a snake,
Or purr like a kitten and calm all our aches.
Letters combined in word perfect tense
Lift humanity higher like pauper to prince. 

Words are like paint before canvas lay bare
In the hands of the artist, eternity’s there.
Waiting to brush one more story-book tale
From right of nowhere, words take to sail. 

With wind from the writer and ink from the pen, 
Destinies change for women and men. 
From The Iliad and Odyssey to Paine’s Common Sense,
Plato’s Apology to Shelley’s Poetic Defense. 

From Genesis to Leviticus and Matthew to St. John,
Aristotle’s Ethics to White’s Trumpet of the Swan.   
From the US Constitution to King’s “I Have a Dream,”
Words are to writers as air is to breath.

They transcend human consciousness
And send us well past Mars, 
Making movies, plays and music move us
To the moon and stars.    

The possibilities are limitless 
When words are focused clear;
If one merely stops to think it through:
They’re always waiting near.


Premium Member Where True Worship Lies

WHERE TRUE WORSHIP LIES

Listen carefully incline thine ear,
For those with inner ears to hear,

It is not a saying deep or dark,
But even the simple can embark,

A Word to both the aged, and youth,
True worship is in Spirit, and in Truth. 

True worship, is not to be confused,
With faithful warmers of the pews.

Fellowship with the brethren is good and right,
Right living in God’s unfailing sight.

Not in whose service is left right at the door,
though he is rich in giving; his spirit is poor.

Not the one praying skillfully, bold and loud,
Nor the one whose self boasting, arrogant and proud.

But the man within, although unseen,
A man of conscience and conviction, living clean.

He has a gentle heart of love, by which his faith is fueled,
And by God’s Holy Word his spirit ruled.

His work is not for praise, recognition or advance,
His gifts only known by given chance.

This worshipper’s life, often judged and despised,
He wishes he were loved as much as criticized.

Not at all complicated, a simple woman, simple man,
Hard to figure to the world, they just don’t understand.

Suffers in quiet unknowingly, amongst his friends,
He’s the last to even ask, for a hand to lend.

He looks to God to raise him up, from being low to the ground,
Seeks daily to only hear the appointed trumpet sound.

Seeks not his own, always bearing his own shame,
But boldly proclaims the rugged cross, in God’s Holy name.

True worship lies herewith, in the heart and soul within,
God seeks such hearts of true wordhippers to worship Him.

Where true worship lies, is in Spirit and Truth,
The love of God is the true worshipper’s living proof.

John 4:23
But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

Lost In Frame

LOST IN FAME
In a twinkling of an eye,
In a moment of glory
He forget to see the mirror of himself

But live a shadow of himself
Unquestionable he becomes,
Unconquerable he feels,
Uncontrollable he become
Make himself above the gods.

Question the master that taught him,
Challenge them in quest with pride,
Forgetting he was once a servant
To a master.
The four corner winds cries for it downfall
He begins to fall,he never knew.
Bcos he fail to listen.

Oh!how great was his fall.
Blow the trumpet in the city,
And give warning to the sons 
Of men.
How great the might has falling,
Bcos he lost himself in moment 
Of glory.

Worth of Nasturtium

Industrious buzz of solo bee search jackpots
Unashamedly trial diving in each lurid shell
Stickier with every trumpet he giddily accosts
Finds further stupor in fluted sweet compel

Ruffled taffeta petals burn, vibrant five
Three wiggle flame fingered fringe
Other two tatooed with burgundy stripes
From lettuce pincushion, stigma begins 

Sunray stamen sprawl in honey encomber
Moonstone luminous stems prop soft discs
Trajectory of butterfly nimbly discovers
Floating foliage furtively stows gifts

Dragon green bud shyly pokes firey tongue 
Slender tailed specimen, paisley tadpoles
Wrinkled brain seed pod trio, stem strung
drop to dappled damp below leaf parasols 

Peppery nutrients for permaculture novice
Exolosion rockets across neglected plots
Blue hued leaves store vitamins various 
Simmering subdues mustard sting hot

Cultivator pleased by brazen ease of transplant
Straight on dirt section masts round flags raised
Twine's gems invite insect activity, gaity radiant 
Vein laced faces sway atop secret paper blaze

He is sending a message 
Via his lips, 
on a beautiful lily 
His trumpet to pan, 
dreaming frog 
Basking in the sun 

The frog loves 
Beautiful butterflies 
Sleeps at night under the star 
With the moths, 

Peter you get everywhere 
It must be the fairy dust, 
you wear green tight,s 
same colour as brother frog 
Have I gone bananas, 
I keep slipping, 

banging my head 
Now that's a frog in a half, 
the search for Peter begins 
the parrot needs help 
On your shoulder oh ar, oh ar, 
stuck for words the parrot 

Hook he will find him 
Mick's on the prowl 
Blowing his secret weapon, 
we all need a bit of fairy dust 
None of us mind the tights, 
its all a beautiful dream 
With light 

Like a family we write 
Loves dream in fairytales 
You send such beautiful poetry Peter, 
melting almost 
The frogs little heart 

Peter,Peter Pan 
In the land of dreams 
Please don't eat me 
A silly old frog dreams 
You strike the frog 

Ha ha Peter,oh Peter Pan 
Brings out crazy frog 
you wont like 
The one eyed, 
battle of the green monster 

Sorry Peter you are so sweet, 
you entered Mick's secret weapon room 
Did you smell the roses 
The scent left 
By the frog for you


It Won't Be Long

Author Dana Redricks
January 23, 2024

I hear the trumpet, its resounding blast drawing near,
The King approaches, nothing in this world remains as clear.
The stage is set, as the grand finale of time unfolds,
Children of God, in jubilant chorus, homeward bound, behold.

We’ll stand, uplifted, offering praises to our eternal King,
Gathered ‘round His throne, His majesty and glory we’ll sing.

Never shall I be alone, for His presence surrounds me,
In awe, I’ll cast my crown, humbled, at the feet of Jesus, we’ll see.

Oh, the joy that awaits, in that heavenly abode,
Where pain and sorrow cease, replaced with everlasting love bestowed.

Every tear, every trial, transformed into eternal delight,
As we bask in the radiance of His all-consuming light.
No longer shall we wander, in this earthly realm confined,
But in the perfect presence of our Savior, forever entwined.

Unfathomable love and peace, abounding without end,
In the embrace of our Redeemer, eternity we’ll spend.
So, let the trumpet resound, its melody ringing loud and clear,
 for the King is coming, and nothing shall remain as it appears.

We’ll stand, we’ll give God praise, with hearts forever ablaze,
 casting our crowns at the feet of Jesus, lost in eternal amaze.

Hum To Yourself Quietly

I'm heading home after five
humming to myself quietly;
I've missed the December' sunset by an hour,
Christmas lights sparkle, folks greet each other:
hear the joy in their voices!
Jesus will end their worries:
they will thrive, not strive!

Naughty boys laugh at Bozo, he has
red hair and long feet;
he marched in the Halloween Parade
and played his drum with a fast beat!
Oh, hum, hum, hum 
to yourself quietly!
Show them you are in a happy mood,
don't be afraid of being booed and hissed!

Carols take the dullness away,
and they replace it with cheerfulness:
take your trumpet, your guitar,
or just hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly...
feel inside serenity,
listen to golden bells
ringing joyfully!

Oh, hum, hum, hum 
to yourself quietly!
Peter is the new Santa with a white beard,
his favorite visitor is Reed;
look around the corner: there goes funny Elf!
Scrooge grins, he's all for himself:
stay away, don't laugh;
Greedy Scrooge is afraid of Christmas ghosts!
Dickens knew him well:
a guilty conscience won't let
won't let anybody sleep;
everyone expressed ingratitude
to someone who was cheap and rude,

Oh, hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly,
and despite all: be very merry;
oh, hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly:
see snowflakes falling,
and festive kids running!
The frosty evening holds a magical spell,
the whole universe praises Jesus!
Oh, hum, hum, hum 
to yourself quietly!

David understood 
the mysteries of the Heavens,
faith is the only stronghold of the weak;
songs are the humble gifts of the meek!
Oh, hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly...
walk around: who happy, who's sad?
Ah, many don't have 
the strength that faith gives,
walk with the Good Shepherd
and make him your friend:
glory will be yours
of you proclaim Him
your King and shield!
Hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly!

I'm heading home
humming to myself quietly,
decorations are pretty;
snow and silence charm 
and together
with the Christmas music,
we'll disarm
each woeful feeling inside:
let the Jule season bring us more joy!
Carols are played everywhere:
will they warm up all the cold hearts
in the crowded square?
Oh, hum, hum, hum
to yourself quietly!

Gabriel

(A lone voice whispers)

I always used to wonder
Where do Robins go to sleep

Then one dark night 
Within a deep all-consuming lucid dream

At approximately one o'clock

A beautiful deity appeared out of the mist

Wearing a blue and white coat

Holding a Lily and a shining lantern

Across its shoulder, a golden trumpet and a branch from Paradise

On its golden belt 
Hung a scepter and a silver scroll

As it strolled towards me

Within my illustrious sleeping streams

A strange palace of darkness

Where no birds 
Flew or squawked

Its mysterious ever watchful eyes

Held me firmly transfixed
Like an ethereal heavenly hawk

Its bright white orbs 
Swallowed me whole

As it whispered words
I'll remember 
Until I'm old

Within the light of day, 
We appear

Your beloved and even I

To watch over and visit you

To see and follow all that you do

When we, the blessed few

Waiting in the new spectacular bright white lights

In the glorious cathedrals of Atmos, shadowy arches

Cross over 
When allowed a brief time

Before we are eventually 
Reunited in a new form

To rejoice in hymn
Within your All Highs 
Divine Church

Depending upon 
The faith of your choice

To visit those we still 
Love

To leave a sign or sing 
A sonnet

Happily with echoes of our new voice as we too mourn 

Then in here 
At darkness

In 
The Great In-Between 

A place you all visit 
Whenever you fall asleep

In deep dreams, 
We always appear

For real spiritual shapeshifters
Like us

Never really sleep

We just transform into Robins

Through a supernatural technique

For sometimes they are merely vessels
We use

Just one of our everlasting souls keeps

So if you see one 
And it sings

Looking straight at you
Remember this

It's just a beloved loved one

Maybe even me 
Archangel Gabriel

Channelling 
Through

And with that beautiful closing line

It disappeared quietly
Back into the receding winds that whined

Of the Hidden Divine

And when I awoke at eight,
I'm sure it met me

Sat on my old garden's wooden gate

My beautiful friend
Who loves to sit on the washing line

Whispering and singing
Hello

Sending shivers and tingling

Shooting
As I remember that dream

All the way
Up and down 

My sinuous 
spine

The Blues

Saxophones blaring      Deep voices bellowing out      Smoked filled rooms      Whiskey bottles half-empty      More color than not      Going on three nobody cares      No prying eyes      Nobody stares      Guitar strings are crying out      A womans voice echoes the room      Tearful memories being held back      Outside in the street      Loud voices screaming      Police sirens can be heard      Above the pouring rain      A clarinet begins to scream      Silence fills the room      Then a trumpet begins it`s rage      Blaring notes out wildly      Above the beating of the drums      Voices join in      Smiles now can be seen      On all the faces     Chasing away the blues

Premium Member Nothing Blue about this Monday


What  a way to begin the week,
A crystal blue sky reflected in a Mediterranean sea.
A Thousand Kisses Deep by Leonard Cohen,
The melody that is, not the words
Waft out from the speaker 
Of the beach front hotel
In Port de Pollenca, Mallorca.

I'm biding my time, gazing onto the calm
With, coffee and treat.
There's nothing blue about this Monday
An unexpected moment of,
Bliss and solitude
Takes hold
Where everything is perfect
 In a sometimes, imperfect world.

The trumpet players lips caress the melody
of; A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Sending  out its waves onto a 
Blue Mediterranean bay.

Then a text bleeps,
'Leaving in five.'
I arise, take up my bike and walk
In step and on the right note 
For the day ahead.
