MORNING RUN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
morning run
wind whispers through leaves
thoughts scatter
cool, crisp air
breath a visible prayer
silent confessions

Premium Member GIVING PRAISE

GIVING PRAISES
            
Your wisdom’s cistern,
Filling the cup of my soul;
Guidance overflows:-

My saucer of mind,
Nourishes my word-spirit
With uplifting joy:-

Your enlightenment,
Reveals all that must be sown,
That truth may be reaped:-

May your vibing waves,
Continue frothing my mind’s
Shores with peace and love:-


Symphony

To deepen the secret of God,
every instrument aches, every string complains.

My sound has long suffered,
yearning to dissolve into Him —
yet no single note was ever enough to contain His name.

Still, in the listening,
still, in the playing of our fragile melody,
I pray the silence between us
is what ordains us.

Scatter my dada

Scatter my dada 
Don’t let my enemies laugh at me 
Don’t let me break through this hard times 
Don’t let this Empty bottles of alcohol 
Consume my heart 
Don’t let my worries be my torture 
Don’t let my dreams be my fear 
I have been through this fires with it shadows smokes and flames 
I thought it will shape me a new person 
I have been calling for grace 
I hope it don’t take a life time 
So don’t let me give up on myself 
I have been hoping all this times 
I have been working hard all this days 
Don’t let me break in this era of temptations
I don’t need to 
Scatter my dada





Scatter my dada 
I feel alone despite all around me 
I feel like am drowning with no words 
Yet my silence is louder than my quest 
Don’t let me be far from favour 
Remember my good attribute’s when am down and tired
Remember my words when is night 
There is no sweet pain in darkness 
So Don’t fail me when my energy is done 
I was a survival with no remedy 
My past are full of the art of actions
So don’t let my life be an empty vesel 
Don’t leave me to break my dignity for vanity 
Cos this will make me 
Scatter my dada



A letter to my maker

Premium Member My Prayer Tonight

Stillness in the night
Bless me with insight
Guide me by the light
Let my light shine bright
Strengthen me with might

Always be my stay
Help me every day
Teach me what to say
Listen when I pray
Let me know my way

Speak so I may learn
Help me to discern
With me be not stern
Deepen my concern
Soon let me return

Never more alone
Let me come back home
Let me no more moan
With no flesh or bone
Return to heaven’s zone


THE POPE'S EMPTY CHAIR II

The chair sits empty on the alter floor
Its arms holding memories unseen
Once carrying prayers, uplifting souls
Now a silent witness waiting in sacred stillness
A core hollowed where mercy stood
Longs for the return of the humility of Christ
A muted longing, poised for grace
Where absence rests seeping out into Alberti’s space
The alter listens as prayers of devotion rise
Filling the void with hope
Holiness prepares to pour back in
Like dawn returning after the thinning tortured night 
Fullness shall dwell where emptiness reigns
Strength flowing upon the embroided papal cushion
The sun brushes the valley of the nave
Rosy light spills a quiet promise
Into the incense filled smoky sadness
A renewing earth breathing words still unspoken
Is alive in prayer
Lifting promises beyond the veil of death
Into the warming morning air

Premium Member On the verge of September SS


On the wind, leaves from oaks bless away
prayers, though silent, leave a gentle grace
like cinnamon, pumpkin spice and gray
blessing so quietly it feels like loves here to stay
soon winter will visit with its chilly embrace
and I’ll hear the joy of Christmas as I pray

Premium Member On Bended Knees

He knelt upon dry dirt
A farmer raised his eyes.
Dear Lord, I can’t go on.
My land is a dust bowl.
My livestock pass away.
I beg—Please Let it Rain.

Premium Member Quicksand

My life is crumbling down 
And my walls are caving in
Its been headed down hill
Since i began a life of sin

I could've been a lawful man
And found a respectable way
I should have fought harder 
At keeping temptation away

Now all my wrong choices 
Are showing their ugly face
I can't escape from them
They refuse to give me space 

I feel as though I'm sinking 
Being swallowed by quicksand 
I'm reaching out while Praying 
Someone will grab my hand

Premium Member Prayerful Reflections

"With you is the sorce of life"
The sky, the land, the sea
The wind, the rain, the sun
The very breath in me.

I once asked the question,
Why you yourself did not descend...
If you were to die
The universe would end!

Once you raised your Son from death
You gave him immortality. 
You planned to grant him kingship
For all eternity.

Although his rulership began
In the year 1914,
The physical evidence of his reign
Is still in future to be seen.

Like you, this kind and caring king
Rules from the realms above.
In harmony with your will
He governs your earth with love.

His heart will glow, his eyes will shine
As he reverses the effects of sin,
While he brings to full fruition
The vision you saw to begin.

This mighty king Christ Jesus
Will soon bring wars to an end.
He won't be a distant entity
But forever our close friend.

(Psalm 36:9, Romans 6:9, Psalm 46:9)

Premium Member Phorgiving a Pharisee

Like Simon and me
Phorgiving a Pharisee
Is done Jesus-ly
Like Isaiah, we
Say here I am Lord send me
With Gospel decree
Phorgiving someone
Is the loving thing to do
Convocation-ly
It is the PSabbath
We will pray and sing psalm psongs
Rightly and greatly
Lord we praise You now
Holy, holy, holy is
Lord God Almighty
Phorgive us our
Pharisaical, sinful
Heart attitudes towards You
Help us to be more
Like Jesus, Who gave His life
Fulfilling God’s law
Even so come quick
-ly, we pray as the psalmist
Awake, Arise Lord
So phorgive us Lord
Repent unrepentant we
Graciously Jesus

Nonsectarian
(for Charlie)

A friend asked me recently if I’m still a Buddhist
And I replied no
Without telling him I’m beyond labels.
To me Buddhism and Christianity are no different
In being just different expressions of dharma,
Dharma being Sanskrit for truth.

Today I heard a Buddhist prayer 
Of wishing to become the kind of being
Who makes everyone happy to just see.
And I laughed out loud
And thought, “Hell yeah!”
I want to be that kind of person.

And not to just make them happy,
But to laugh, and play, relax and 
Loosen the chains
That bind their heart.

I know I’m not that person today,
But I thought of someone who was,
And how all over the world
Those chains are now loosening
And people are feeling strong and free
Even as they cry in grief.

(9/13/25)

Prayer, a Citadel

Coins tossed into the wishing well
no match for prayer, a citadel.

Premium Member My Simple Prayer

The Lord is  the portion of my inheritance
 and of my cup thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are  fallen unto me in pleasant places
 yea I have a  goodly heritage I will
bless the Lord who has given me counsel
 my reins also  instruct me in the night seasons
I have set the Lord always before me
 because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved
Therfore my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth
 my flesh shall rest in hope!
