Turn into love instead
When I am dead, all the things I wrote, all the things I said, that made you criticize, irritated and distressed, made you uncomfortable in your heart and the head, will become dearer, be the sorrow a real good measure, will bring tears if you let the thought stand nearer and will turn into love instead. The love that I wanted and you did not understand. (27.03.2025)...

Premium Member Ever Nearer the Son
The sun stirs my morning softly, fragile like the shyest smile, hesitating... And, You, with YOUR pure light, whisper hope that silences shadows, leaving my fear of the darkest night, reminding me why I know this blessing, so alive, a blessing... Your presence fills me with peace, with serenity so beautiful and sweet, Your light flows grace through my belief, pouring out a message that brings...

Nearer than sky
Above: Blue Heaven. Heavens above: breath in spaces, breadth of wings, winding spirals. Loved ones leave: alive with God. Looking beyond tall ladders, high stairs, finding you, my Lord and my God, beside: Immanuel. ...

Premium Member Nearer My God to Thee, Be A Cross That Raises Me
The hour matters none ... for the energies have exhausted. In the year of our Lord ... nineteen hundred and twelve, April fifteenth. Writes a future living star ... wish their joys so he may shine. 'Tis to be a deliberate endeavor ... they call life. An unaccountable ledger of sums ... know he the worth of it. For in...

Walk Nearer
I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. You all ease by me everyday, breeze through me then slip away. Avoid my glance, never even stay. Hurrying by me quickly down this street in retreat. I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. Forgetting to share our lovely gift, by hurrying by our hearts adrift. Rarely our heads do scarcely lift. Hurrying by me hurrying down this Street...

Premium Member I Come Nearer You
I come nearer You not for fear of lethal wrath (fire and brimstone is not an endearing persuader) knowing damnation never more than a thought away; even this realization (having read the Revelation) has never been enough to alter my deep clay pace; this is not why to You, and to You, alone, I pray… but I run to You after having tried...

Nearer
Its a situation What is gone up Must come down Its circumstances What goes around Must come around The events are unfolding themselves Its a mystery What has been done Cannot be undone Its analysis What has been a regular Cannot be a guest The diary is fully booked Its an honour What has been cherished Must be treasured Its trustworthy What has been soared Must be ploughed The time will tell the tale...

The Nearer Peace
The nearer peace,more savage are the acts Abhorrent to the atheist in us all. History, undigested ,splits and cracks As we whites did evil to the black With little difference, hate for glory calls. The nearer peace, the more savage the acts All of us can disremember facts Israeli hands have gripped and then appalled. History, undigested...
