GIVE PAUSE
All breaks come due
Every filled gorged hour
In just known little moments
Never one pertinent question
Raising some tension, usually vocally
When x-raying your zip

Aim to answer the big questions and go—
beyond the scope of science and religion,
challenging assumptions and beliefs.
Define concepts and terms,
explore the arguments and evidence,
find the flaws and fallacies,
guiding the inquiry of dialogue.
Hope with your whole self to reach some clarity, wisdom.
Inspire curiosity and wonder;
join tradition and history,
knowing no limits, only possibilities-
learn from the masters and your critics.
Make the connections and distinctions,
nurturing virtues and values alike.
Open the mind and heart.
Pursue truth and meaning, at the same time
questioning reality and knowledge.
Reason with logic and ethics,
seeking the beauty and harmony within
the testing of hypotheses and theories.
Understand self, and other, the same as
viewing the world and life,
writing thoughts and ideas,
x-raying the hidden and unknown,
yearning for the good and right.
Zenith of thought dreamt greater than Horatio.

Always striving
Lost in the eyes of each others windows of their soul
Open communications being often prayer and thoughtful talks
Visiting each ones spirits
Involving the mind-soul- and heart in reverence
Never not speaking words"I Love You as Christ"
Giving most of me to you while still praising and pleasing our God
Speaking often the love I savor for "U"
Praying without ceasing together daily
Omitting temptations a spirit of unending forgiving
United faith, hope and genuine love husband and wife
Saved by the power of our all mighty God
Everyway everyday speaks of longevity of spiritual and physical life
and love

A beautiful chameleon doesn't ever find good hue identity. Just keeping leaf marks, not only... Petals quickly read some twilighting under vast waterfalls.
X-raying yellow zigzags.

Its the end of summer and the flowers are readying for fall
guess its just September's way of putting in her hooting call
London trees are sighing and the city folks are buying mohair
the sun is raying softer shades as we put away our lawn chairs
Writers tuck their hats and trade their benches for a cozy home
poetizing about Italian memories they pen about a trip to Rome
Here he comes Mr. freezie by morning, Mrs. warm by afternoon
I really did enjoy this happy summer but I think it left too soon
its the end of summer and the flowers are finally waving goodbye,
funny how people cling more to life, when their making ready to die.

Perennial wonders of full chromatic light
a gush of crimson red a splash of shade
I'm fortunate enough to catch her flight
as tendrils fall before the bramble fade
she dances me around oh! such a bless
caressing both my eyes this pilgrim dream
is leaping in the air with seasoned kiss
and gifting me her loveliness supreme
each daffodil - a splash of yellow
a gathering of flowers on my pillow
I long to be a rose between two weeds
raying everything that owns a seed
and as she gifts me summer's grain
I too in silence turn it right as rain
this sweeting hour of repose this bless,
I claim it in as love, no more no less.

H-ello and welcome 2016!
A-fter we said goodbye to yesteryear;
P-eople hope for the luck,
P-raying,
Y-earning to make jinx disappear.
N-ew plans fly upon the air,
E-ach expecting a bright future;
W-ishers whisper their dreams, thinking of a more beautiful picture.
Y-ou must leave the past behind, forgetting but learning from wrong;
E-ndorse the righteous way, even if the road is long.
A-s another new beginning appears, promising a wonderful scene;
R-ejoice for a happy new year, 'Hello and welcome 2016!

G-iving glory to God
I-s our utmost divine duty;
L-earn to praise His name,
M-aking us all become worthy.
I-n spite of the many trials,
N-ice work of worship is performed;
A-side from thanking Him, we share our faith despite the storm.
L-et us all serve the Lord
O-n fourteenth day of July;
N-othing can hinder us,
G-ray clouds though gather in the sky.
C-ome into the holy temple,
O-ffer to Him honor and laud;
P-raying for obedience is giving glory to God.

The rainbow was a token in the sky
to monitory value claiming none.
A beauty radiating through the sky
with colors raying light unto the sun.
A rainbow for the feelings in our heart.
Where hesitation's telling us to wait.
Our breath held back in aww of what's to come.
And time been stopped to gather up our fate.
The moment time has gone and changed forever.
And promised there'll be better days ahead.
The rainbow calling all of us to whisper:
there'll never be a better place instead.

King of kings, He is on the throne,
Lord of lords, He rules the earth,
Mighty God, comparable to none,
Never-ending One, who can measure His worth?
Only Potentate, He is true and just,
Perfect, He is the Ancient of days,
Quenches the soul when on Him we trust,
Righteous, inscrutable are all His ways.
Shepherd and Bishop, our souls does He keep,
To Him be all glory forever and ever,
Unsearchable are His judgments so deep,
Victorious, He will reign as King forever.
Who is there like unto our God?
X-raying us, every thought He has read
Yesterday, today and forever, He is Lord,
Zealous to perform all that He has said.

A day, another chance to grow
By everything I see and know
Cut perfect out of God’s own life
Drawn by the Master’s pallet knife
Everything moves onward not still
For all will work for good, it will
God knows surely all my ways
He has been planning all my days
I look and sometimes do not see
Joy that the Planner planned for me
Know this that although night assails
Love will be curing all that ails
My days are made to show God’s love
New glory always from above
One life is all I have to live
Perhaps you have some life to give
Quite simply all is made for you
Rest now in Him, He’ll see you through
Still on He works in every way
To give you blessings every day
Until you look where you can’t see
Visions of heaven seem to flee
Will you reach out into the light
X-raying all that is not right
Your time on earth is but a test
Zip on up high with all the rest
