The Lord I thank* with zealous praises blest
blessings to share midst joyous freedom zest…
Cheerful spirit subduing anxious pain
does smite worries to bring blissful peace-reign…
Divine liberty granting soul retreat
wondrous moments of fellowship so sweet…
Worship toward triumph of faith serene
propels service vanquishing struggle scene…
Grace-filled prayer along trust-propped delight
assures answers for heart’s desire and plight.
*Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A lot of really big trees had died to make that desk. His mother had probably gnawed them down, used her nails to saw the boards, and finished the decorative cutwork with her tongue.
Jennifer Crusie
My mom kept a patch of zamia trees,
freeze brook zigzagged and zinged,
zesty zephyr's laid cape from breeze,
zap zander tinned.
She accomplished zoning using a zax,
she led my zest and dream,
I can't cool off, I can't relax,
zealous esteem.
She shields me from rain and zenithal wind,
she kept zeal to be strong,
by lead and zaniness of mind,
zigs right from wrong.

SONNET #1028
Once upon here the moment lost,
Note not too late in mindful moan;
End toss marks clear the cause of cost.
Zest at the gate with plate of groans,
Etch fuzzy squeeze that frames odd take,
Reach for a light with fleeting luck;
Orbit cold breeze with broken flakes.
Trick of insight where pain now plucks,
Wealth that could be a blessing boom;
Observe the fate of crash and burn.
Expect sad pleas to fill the gloom,
Indulge sad plate with curious churn;
Glimpse then the show that fails to be,
Hint that now glows in lost fancy;
Taste bitter flow that bothers me.

Here in full measure
Grand thoughts I treasure
Cheer funds peace of mind
Joy flavours sweet finds
Love fashions good grace
Happy lights my face
Zest works with good cheer
Zeal hurls patterns here
Faith to live days dark
Hope to bear bright spark
Troubles bring harsh change
Stern wit to meet strange
See problems as chance
To succeed and dance
When times look so tough
Dare conquer things rough
To write my story
A brave tale of me!
Here I find each start
Face each day with heart
Set my heart and soul
Learn to live one whole

Incite your heart
To see the truth;
See as you start
The grounding proof.
Incite your mind
To know the world;
Seek what you find
In ample swirls.
Incite your soul
To help you grow;
Sense a true whole
That ever glows.
Incite your time
To live fine space;
Feel purpose rhyme
In poise and trace.
Incite your joy
To greet fond peace;
Faith now employs
Love and increase.
Incite your acts
With zest that floods;
Zeal lives a pact
In surge of blood.
Incite your smile
To greet each face;
Wear thoughts worthwhile
To charm your space.
Incite your best
To hurl and spring;
Live your bold quest
With songs you sing.

Bride and groom voice moment of bliss;
Rich with wonder, ideas now spring;
Impress with choice, candour funds list;
Dare can wander here with love's fling;
Apt gestures seek emblems of joy;
Lines of pure grace loiter with place.
Vouch for fond peaks: laughter and ploys;
Explore dress space, enraptured face;
In flowing lines hurl fine designs;
Linger with style, unzip your dreams.
Sense joy unfurl in rapture fine;
One lasting smile: mosaic and theme;
Now your big day imaged with zest;
Go with clear sway, note what works best.

Make impact style, make moments count;
Indulge your heart, indulge your mind;
Charm wears a smile, charm starts the fount;
Hope dares bold start, hope shares new finds;
Ask joy to sum, ask peace to stay;
Embrace the truth, embrace the whole;
Love lives what comes, love knows the way.
Note lovely proof, note lovely souls:
Embrace sure heart, embrace pure feel;
Intent sparks quest, intent streams joy;
Lift precious start, lift cheery will;
Endow fond zest, endow fine ploys;
Etch a sweet smile, etch a good face;
Note times you style, note moves you grace.

Decide dear hearts, decide fond thrills.
Embrace sure quest, embrace true face;
Live precious start, live cheery will;
Endow fond zest, endow fine pace;
Etch a kind face, etch a sweet smile;
Note moves you grace, note worth you style.

I get lost in a dream of my choosing,
A zest fairy tale or reality;
Drawing my heart strings with abstract musing,
Idyllic poetic shared fantasy.
Natural colorants of black silk night,
Glorious effulgent wide azure sky,
Spilled crimson horizon morning sunlight,
white jasmine laden boughs whither so high.
Purple heather on the verge of blue creek.
Rich autumn rainbow play sips its nectar.
A gray wolf bearing its long fangs grows meek,
Flying sapphire dragon, king's gold scepter.
A palette of colour fluidity
Through unwontedly buoyant poetry.

Life, like a practiced comedian on the stage
Keeps smiling and frowning in turn.
Under the embers of joy that spark from our hearts,
Lies the pulverized heap of charcoaled dreams!
Sometimes I find life, a tight rope walk
When a false step can prove so very fatal
And fear it might land me in some bottomless abyss
Demanding me to proceed with utmost caution
At such times, I raise my heart in prayer
For divine assistance and godly intervention
Sure, this abidance in God keeps me on
When life turns a trek through labyrinthine paths
While staying at the Himalayan heights of joy
Sometimes I feel hurled down into the nadir of despair
Soon after proudly flaunting my trophy
I see myself smashed into utter defeat….
When trials and sorrows, thus dominate my life
And joy, I find is only a passing phase,
I turn to inspirational books and biographies of men
Who have dared and won against all odds
And thus fuel my mind with fresh hope
Sometimes when I feel moody for no reason
And am weighed down by an inarticulate ache
I make a stroll into nature, to the silent shade of trees
To hear the nightingales sing, to see the bees collecting pollen
To feast on the beauty that surrounds,
And inhale the salubrious air that comes wafting
Then I am filled with a new vigor and renewed zest
Brightening every corner of my darkened mind
In all ups and downs, when life becomes full of care
I withdraw into a lonely corner with my pen and paper
And tap at the fountain springs of my imagination
When a cascade of feelings plunge down from my heart,
Spurting out in broken jets with or without rhyme
Unveiling inmost secrets and thoughts of joy or gloom
Then it quickly hands me down with a therapeutic effect
And the storm inside ceases and a divine calm settles
