It keeps on going as according to some plan
Till all the burning questions turn to embers
Days drag on by like endless caravans
I’ve heard my name is on the list of members
I’ve tried some fortune, like the others do
My income couldn’t cover all expenses
Required paperwork got me subdued
So little privacy was left for recompenses
The time I spent was my invisible co-writer
Of what I meant to say, and what I missed
The evening sun just for a moment burns bit brighter
No mystery unfolds, we've seen all this..
There ain’t no heaven.
There ain’t no hell.
Nothing to come, nothing to become thereafter or still yet to be.
Nothing to live or die for, as a reward.
Nothing to pay for after you die.
All retributions, recompenses and rewards are mortal just like your life after inception is mortal, and you are doomed to die.
So live your life as if there is no tomorrow, with nothing carried over at day's end,
beyond hope to be better at what you do, and what you are and can be, to loved ones and others.
there ain't no heaven
nor no hell down there below
live life here and now
After ten years of marriage, he cast me aside,
For a younger woman with bounce in her stride.
He said he loved her, and she made him feel young.
Then he said I was dated and too overstrung.
So, I looked in my mirror to see what he saw
And saw an old woman whose emotions were raw.
Age took its toll and wrinkles don’t lie,
What I saw in my mirror made my soul cry.
By chance, two years later, we met on the street.
He seemed evasive, and our eyes did not meet.
But I just kept on looking to learn how he fared.
(I still had fond memories of the decades we shared.)
“Can we talk?” I said, when our eyes finally met.
“I hope you’re now happy and have no regrets.”
He thought for a moment, then looked far away,
I could tell from that look he had nothing to say.
Grasses are seductive on the wild side of fences,
And failed relationships lack recompenses.
Old stallions think wild grasses taste best,
But they often find them hard to digest.
It keeps on going as according to some plan
Till all the burning questions turn to embers
Days drag on by like endless caravan
I’ve heard my name is on the list of members
I’ve tried some fortune, like the other people do
My income couldn’t cover all expenses
Required paperwork is not the one I knew
So little privacy is left for recompenses
Time spent, so clock was my co-writer
Of texts unwritten, of the fading memories
I note that embers in the evening burn brighter
As was expected: you’ve already seen all this.
Come all ye nations
Avery Kindred Brotherhood
Let it be said and be known
God is coming for his own
You will
Blossom as the rose
Let it be you known
You will
Blossom as a rose
Wilderness and solitary place
Shall be glad for their Witness
The desert shall rejoice
You hear the singing ringing in all their voice
Cheryl Blossom abundantly
Strengthening the weak hands
Confirmed weak feeble knees
Thorny stem pedals reaching
Toward the skies this is what we choose
Rejoice rejoice and Blossom as the rose
It's the day of the
In a year of recompenses
From generation to generation
Net four generations
You will
Blossom as a rose
Let it be known you will
Blossom as a rose
Steam's turnt to pitch
Nations lie in the waste in a ditch
O' Thorns come nettled and Rambles
I bet you all jackets and coats full of owls
Falls to the ground
Who are my examples
You will Blossom as the rose let it be known
you will ...
Blossom as the rose

Isaiah 35:1
Creure
Creure:
tot passa
per moltes raons.
La gent canvia
perquè aprenguis a deixar anar,
el que és bo es descompon
pel millor que obtingueu.
Per exemple,
Saluda
aquest dia amb amor
en el cor.
Estimar el sol
perquè s'escalfa
però, estimar la pluja,
perquè es renta i dóna vida a la terra.
Estimar la llum que mostra el camí;
Estimar la foscor
Això mostra les estrelles.
Reconeixeu les recompenses,
perquè et pertanyen
reben els obstacles,
perquè són el repte.

Acredite
Acredite:
tudo acontece
por muitas razões.
As pessoas mudam
para você aprender a deixar ir,
o que é bom se desfaz
para o melhor chegar.
Portanto,
Cumprimente
este dia com amor
no coração.
Ame o sol
porque aquece
mas, ame a chuva,
pois lava e dá vida à terra.
Ame a luz que mostra o caminho;
Ame a escuridão
Que mostra as estrelas.
Reconheça as recompensas,
pois elas te pertencem
receba os obstáculos,
pois são o desafio.
1.What world recompenses rain?
Kind unexpects nothing.
2.Earned wealth is to
help the deserving.
3.Rare to find anywhere
as helping acquiescent.
4.Gracious befitting alone lives
others classed dead.
5.Wealth of befitting wise
as people lake.
6.Righteous’ wealth, as ripe
fruit-tree at mid-village.
7.Nobles’ wealth is like
reliable medicinal tree.
8.Acquiscents never fail helping
even fortune drains
9.Complaisant becomes poor, bewailing
inability of bestowing.
10.Co-operating complaisant sell even
self, overcoming poverty

Life and death consequences
by two choices have recompenses
omitting natural or spiritual senses
renew the former omit death dispenses
Death’s protrusion
has an all inclusion
recompensing illusion
an Armageddon conclusion
Life has an exclusion
written for purpose of infusion
of private capital preclusion
`t is of Love’s transfusion...
consequences,
recompenses
of serpent senses
then death dispenses
sharks teeth conclusions
of infusions
`t is illusions
of protrusions
playful Dolphin exclusion
insights infusion
removes teeth of confusion
reality of illusions protrusion...
consequences,
recompenses...
senses,
dispenses...
