To infinity and beyond
Orion by name be more than star
Knots in a string
Written October 22, 2025, for Brian Strand contest
***********
I pray
Each day
Harmonic Omnipotent Flow
Form: Grook
Not in force, nor in fear,
the spiral spins clear.
Power that bends is not power that breaks—
it’s the river that sings when the mountain shakes.
The flame doesn’t shout,
it pulses… and things come about.
Almighty, his Majesty, the lord
I am not sure if you are present and listening
Many masses prayed from morning to evening
For your guidance, protection, and support
I, today, declared that no creeds stand out
As omnipotent as a condition of your being
People must acknowledge what they are doing
To rely on understanding and skills that they got
All these are now named skills or wisdom
Of being as philosophy, logic, such as causality
As a fact that nothing could come from vacuum
Nay, none of them against stand logic, obviously
No truths stand out without subjective assumes
Simply akin to butterflies born in the chrysalis
A morn is a graceful reason to seek redemption, Rio Grande
Beyond every other, to gaze beyond the yonder valley, they!
whence the nature thrives in cosmos, floral, allegory, Thine
The exaltation of the omnipotent high, the all-encompassing!

Go now! Get a title down

Our Most Holy Lord
— glorious, omnipotent, eternal ——
yet approachable:
Ever-Present
God
weaving our lives together…
securely knotting the threads
and
as our prayers rise…
His quick blessings quenching
rain

Thanks be to God
No one has seen you,
Oh! Almighty creator.
Let me be among very few,
In this beautiful nature.
I can feel you,
In each and every corner.
In my point of view,
You are within all creatures.
All want to see you,
From the large to the miniature.
Want to experience all new,
With you as a decorator.
It is universally true,
You are the vigilant supervisor.
Got no chance to review,
Oh! My only path finder.
Save the sinking ship, my captain and crews,
Please do the due,
Save it from all signs of danger.
Of the Wowan with the Issue
(Luke 8: 43-48)
———————————-
No synonyms to speak…
No other lines
To divert from this focus…
No parallels existing to such
A tale of faith to power,
I am forever touched
By the telling
Of a simple sister’s soul from
Deep
Rising
— In her desperate struggle
To reach for
An any touch
Of him
— Who she Knew in Truth
Could…Would be
Her…And for the every one,
The
Omnipotent - here has come!
Finally
The healing
By any simple touch of
The
King of kings.

This is the translation of a devotional song by Rabindranath Tagore (1861- 1941), Nobel-laureate Saint Poet from India. This song is taken from his collection of songs, titled "Gitabitan" (Garden Of Songs)
O My Lord, let today's meeting be rewarding, let this night be a grandiose celebration!
out and inside my heart, all around the world let everyone feel blessed -
let the parched hearts be softened with love, bring sacred light to the blank eyes,
let your welcoming door be open with no fear, let your source of immortality flow without hindrance,
let spread in all corners of the sky, your beautiful fascinating decorations,
invite all your followers to this meet, allow those who turn away from you, bow at your feet,
O The Omnipotent, Your ever-lasting wealth causes all other riches lose their glory.
Drink me. Eat me. I stare at the vials.
What kind of rabbit hole have I fallen down?
I blink, trying to adjust to the light.
A blue orb begins to develop.
I watch her get larger and closer.
There is a feeling of love about her.
I am sensing that she is creating a new world for me.
She turns into a blue faerie but with a violet glow.
Without words we communicate.
I am aware that this is my own private world.
Others cannot and will not intrude.
Other humans that is.
A flock of dragonflies flitter past us.
They also communicate a sense of peace and love.
I stay in my inner sanctuary for a long time.
Recognizing it is my private place
Where I can paint, dance, draw or sing.
Talents come to me and smile
I am tantalized and excited
All powerful and omnipotent here.
I never want to leave
Our planet spins on its tilted axis
At a speed of around a thousand
Miles per hour,
Whilst also rotating around the sun
At a speed of sixty-seven-thousand
Miles per hour,
Could all of this be controlled by an
Omnipotent power?
We live in a universe that
Is constantly changing,
Creating, destroying
And continually rearranging,
We live in a world that has more
Questions than answers,
Could there be an
Omnipotent choreographer,
And we’re merely the dancers?
God* --- omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
verily reached down to me
offering His friendship and fellowship.
With trust in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
...I am endowed by faith that pleases HIM, all by His grace
Now, my vibrant relationship with HIM keeps on getting sweeter daily
making me affirm His attributes:
His love, indeed redemptive
His mercy, always restorative
His grace, truly rehabilitative
His power, surely constructive
His kindness, greatly palliative
His peace, divinely sedative
His precepts, wisely informative
His goodness, supremely creative
His statutes, clearly declarative
His admonitions, graciously punitive
His testimonies, joyously affirmative
His doctrines, steadfastly effective
His reproofs, compassionately positive
His commandments, authoritatively imperative.
*Revelation 19:6 ... Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Omen of hope divine
Oasis of blessed calm
Orchard of my plenty
Obscure, yet almighty
Obliged, I seek you out
Obeisant, I kneel down
Obeying your command

OMNIPOTENT GOD
My father was diagnosed with cancer,
Had 6 weeks to live, I was devastated,
That he would die, please God an answer,
He was loved by all, by nobody hated.
I stayed up till late, and had a thought,
Tomorrow I would go and buy only black
Clothes, would not sway from my word.
Exhausted, Sat down for a midnight snack,
I heard a voice boom, the impossible occurred,
Had promised God would wear black for a year,
It was God’s voice I could hear loud and clear,
‘If you do that for me my girl, I will heal
Your father.’ I began to cry uncontrollably!
All the family asleep, I knelt down to pray,
Wore only black from the next day,
Discussed this happening with a priest,
He had been told a similar story at a retreat
Dad lived almost two years longer but died,
At his funeral his grandson read a psalm,
Not a dry eye, everyone present cried.
God with His omnipotent love* prevails
dispels angst of fear engulfing grieved heart
sufficient midst mercy when own strength fails
timely to shield soul from bitterness’ dart
yeah, indeed vanquishing woe that assails
hoists faith along caring and sharing rampart.
*Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us…
