The weight of indecision
Is a force so many in the world can bear,
Yet one that crushes me,
Gnawing away at my fractured sanity.
There's two paths, which one shall we trek?
There's a third choice but the Bible forbids it
My brittle spine can only endure so much.
Make haste with your decision, author,
Before the pillars of love collapse,
Before your lover finds a suitor with a steadfast spine
Like an Ibis Headed Scribe recording the Great Mysteries Of Life
with a Pen Of Light,
I Tap In, you Drip the Gnosis
you plant the Knowledge, I shall Harvest it's Grain
and together we shall Unite under the Sun again,
Ever Higher, in Grace... I Make Haste to the 9th Gate
The colossal sun, a sun that seems on the verge of senile death,
Vomits violently,
Crying out that it can bear no more.
Yet we humans, and all those silent organisms, swallow its emissions,
And the dying creatures of the distant earth spring back to life.
Ah, how wondrous, how marvelous a thing.
Once more, I look upon you.
You throw up, struggling in such agony.
Even your iron-walled presence, now exhausted, collapses at last,
And the next version of me is born.
I am the "Moon."
"Rest now, you!"
Hya! My sun,
Go and taste a sweet, brief slumber.
"Go, save the Earth still trapped in the shroud of darkness!"
That is the message the sun bequeathed to me.
The raging waves, the rough voice, the wild anger—
I swallow them all whole with my moonlight.
Hya! My sun!
Rise up, hurry!
Though I, too, am spent,
I wake the exhausted sun with countless lashes of my whip,
And instantly, the sun reveals the raw welts of my lashing.
"Now I sleep. Burn your fury, make haste.
And when it grows too hard for you, I shall take your place."

Time waits for no one
I’ve always wondered why that was said
To me and many like myself
It meant we must make haste as people
Because we do not have time on our side
But what if….. We did
A constant that last for generations
It stretches beyond where our eyes can’t see
A seasonal friend to the world
A reminder to our memories and meetings
A taste of forevermore
A push and pull with our state of being
A love letter to your future self
A terror to the lazy
A reward to the fervent and patient
A true friend to both life and death
A mediator for choices
A regulator for our emotions
A constant that remains with God
As eternity springs beyond our reach
We call it time
Yet it is more than clocks and numbers
It carries our first cries
And our final goodbyes
A wild and free concept
Unafraid of either
Moving still
Forevermore
Lessons learned from my grandmother
Have served me well over the years.
One lesson was about 'haste and pace'.
She'd say, "Go in a haste; come in a pace".
I'd ask, "Was she being poetic, or was she
Wanting us to be more energetic?" I have
Since Concluded that our grandma was
Teaching us about a life of balance.
Make haste if at times you must.
Make a fuss and kick up dust.
But when the dust has settled,
And the race is on the line,
Have a simple understanding
About time and space.
Finish with a plan in a pace;
Finishing, not hastily, but gracefully.
Heaven indeed is a very real place;
A dwelling place for the human race.
Pursuing heaven is a challenging quest;
And in this mortal state, there are tests.
May we always be content to embrace
Whatever befalls us in this pilgrim race.
We are ever secured by God's grace.
May we be patient and not make haste.
May we be trusting and learn to wait,
Because God has set his very own date.
Through Christ alone do we enter the gate.
Where For Art Thou, Thy Sun That Dwells Within
when the Embers of Night Shimmer and Make Haste to the wind,
and the Sacred that resides to the Flame no more
no longer dancing with the Stars, Insignis and Cold
Blaze Forth than through the Ashes, No More, No Less
through the Clouds and Veils where Bonfires Dwell,
and the Great Light will Shine in Prominentia again
through the Dust shall come the Dawn, no more in Lament
Burn Bright Yet Again, those Feathers Ever Illumined in wrought
for where there is Hope, we shall Raise a Torch Aloft
~
While moonbeams dance 'pon midnight skies
she calls the echoes friend
Midst evergreens and fireflies
as cattail whispers send
Sweet thoughts of joy, a soft confess,
melodic 'fore the breeze
Where lyrics float like dandelion,
adrift among the trees
She rides atop a hummingbird,
it's feathers emerald green
Beneath a starlit canopy,
a cosmic glowing scene
She brings the spring, awaited long,
as winter bids farewell
Like harmonies, the sweetest song,
when gardens feel her spell
While buds anew, now wake from sleep,
be gone such clouded gloom
Each sunny greeting, comes to reap,
their fragrant April bloom
And Jasimine o'er the arbor crawls,
such beauty born the eyes
'long river beds and cascade falls
and crimson butterflies
lo' bluest skies of azure bliss
and dew drops on the lawn
The sunrise sends its gentle kiss,
in tangerine this dawn
So, rise from bed, no longer lay,
make haste, you're sure to see
The glory in each April day,
a springtime majesty

My Adoration to Archangel Michael
Oh Archangel Michael, receive my adoration!
Thou who are hailed as “Defender of Faith”
Fight for me against malicious being & malignant wraith
Cover me with God's blue ray of protection
Be my ardent armor at times of trial & temptation
With your shining sword, cut me from the chains of the devil
From Canadian Rockies at Banff, make haste when my soul is in peril!

*My Angels Collection
A birdhouse hanging from a tree
Has snow piled on its roof.
If there are doubts about the storm,
Well, there’s the real-life proof.
Designed with details to appear
So cottage-like and charming,
Its Wedgewood-colored siding
Both familiar and disarming,
This mini-homestead’s cuteness is
An unexpected treat.
You wouldn’t look for such a thing
On a Manhattan street.
Yet there it is, with bright white door
And next to it, a broom,
Just waiting for a sparrow
To stop by and take up room.
Surrounding it, apartments loom;
Pedestrians make haste.
Still, somehow in this neighborhood,
This dwelling’s been embraced.
love its valentine's day
my Love Valentine's day is upon us
love don't be in a rush
don't make haste we have this day to celebrate
Our love is strong no debate
my love you are my fate
make no mistake
Our love shall never fade away
I am here to stay
happy Valentine's day
Does he know I only see him as a friend
can He not see this is all pretend
my heart unfortunately belongs to another man
I must hurry up and make haste
before I lose the man I chased
wish him Happy valentine's day
before its to late
my Love Valentine's day is upon us
love don't be in a rush
don't make haste we have this day to celebrate
Our love is strong no debate
my love you are my fate
make no mistake
Our love shall never fade away
I am here to stay
happy Valentine's day
Does he know I only see him as a friend
can He not see this is all pretend
my heart unfortunately belongs to another man
I must hurry up and make haste
before I lose the man I chased
wish him Happy valentine's day
before its to late
Beware dear mousey
cat D is stalking
primed to pounce
and visit devastation
upon your nest
of velvet down.
I've plinthed my claws;
a linen napkin
is coiled
round my neck
to mop red gravy
and sumptuous fat
when they dye
my twitching whiskers.
So, nestle close
little mouselings
make haste to scurry!
It's okay to stumble,
to fall in the dust of the day,
feeling the heavy weight of yesterday.
It's fine to feel weak and weary,
losing your footing and your way,
like a ship lost in the endless gray.
For these are just moments,
a breath, a flicker, a sigh,
fleeting shadows in the sun passing by.
They don't define time,
nor the race yet to be run,
and neither who I am beneath the sky.
But for how long, Lord,
for this ache won't cease to be,
and the silence is a heavy sound to me.
Make haste to help me,
make haste to set me free,
to help me stand on solid ground and see.
There is a man with a special fleet
Waiting for you at the corner of the street
He has been waiting there for more than twenty years
With barells of guns a ocean filled with rum
And all the money he collect from the atmosphere
No one wants to deal with him for they say that
His belly is too thin; no one knows about him
For they say that he has too much sins but he has thirty bank accounts buried in the direct. The people don’t know about that
Because his body is full of traps, the believe that he is a poor man wandering all over the land. Make haste to meet him at the corner of the street, he has all the money that you need
If you are the Kings doctor or the president advicer
He has everything that you need and he can make you happy
You would never know that its him, until you noticed
A specific grin, he goes around in womens frock but he
Has everything that you need.You have been searching for him
For many years but he is living right under your nose
Aand he cares.You have got arrange that meeting.
