Spiritual Gem Inside Me

A jewel breathes inside of me
In a chrysalis where a rose
Breaths the covenant
Promise born from the heart of perfection
Where intoxicating remnants of a garden
Linger 
Whispering,
Beckoning me home
Through the sweet scent of grace
Humming lullabies
As my petals open
To leaves of reconciliation 

My Hope waits in silence
With the promise to circumcise
My uncircumcised heart
With sacred oils
Running over my head, 
Down my chin,
As I put on the mantle of mercy
Bathed in balm and incense
Enfolded in this troth

I, a child in waiting,
Readies to bloom
Like the lotus flower
Rising
From murky depths
Where I have planted my roots
Seeking
The alabaster bouquet of the Daystar 
In floral facets of fragrance -
Goodwill and kindness

My gem, 
My gift, this rose,
No hardened stone
A crystal still forming
Unlike wilted blooms
Refined
By the perfume of the Refiner
A prelude
To an unblemished jewel
Abiding
Among many 
Worn in the victorious crown of glory.

Premium MemberDna's Ecological Confession

I live each breath
each day
each month
each season
each year
each stage of lifespan
each life and death cycle
of passionate memory,
between eternal consciousness
and timeless change.

Breathing in non-zero sum
and exhaling zero-sum
and vice versa spatial Time

Who knows significant differences
in such profound zero balancing,
similarities of emptiness
and fullness,
symmetries,
centers,
sources?

Earth's ecofeminist life span
and Ego's left-hemisphere
mutually reflect dynamic changing passions,
timeless theological play,
passion's eternal re-creative work,
eternal wisdom
as of timeless personal knowledge,
polypaths of correlating wonder
wandering in polyphonic
eternal octaved awe.

I need not become capable
of defining regenerative breath
and spirit of dynamic time
to already be bilateral refiner
of Spirit's renatured fractal Source.

Alicia Keys

A star awoken, of dreams freely spoken 
All equipped – musicianship 
Unbound to conventional forms, to so adorn
A woman’s worth
Au naturel
Transcendence of thought, unveiled soul
Of tears, of joy

Classical calling 
A dazzling butterfly, hearts identify 
Live on stage, delivered diary 
A poetic page, with essence to free
A monumental flow of harmony 
Unique individuality 

A universal language, a mindful connective 
Emotional growth, inner introspective 
Live and unplugged 
With all that jazz
Rhythm refiner, songs in A Minor
A unique find, true state of mind 
Motivational strive 
Such inner drive
The extraordinary, piano mastery
Musical milestone, a class of her own

Chord composition, resounding fruition 
Of passion – piano, vocal poetess 
Authentic standard, of no less

Premium MemberThe Grand Master of All

Don’t think for a minute that 
Whatever it is you do is from your doing
You are not doing anything by chance
Everything has a plan
God’s plan
He plans it all
What to go first 
What will take place
It is all in His master plan
Aren’t you glad to know
You are a part of it?
So the next time when you find the urge to write something
Do something
Say something
Know He is leading you to do it
Nothing happens by chance
He is in control
Totally 
This universe
This domain
Is all His
We are His ground keepers
His workers
His many boys and girls
Sent here to do His bidding
You don’t happen by chance
Just like things don’t happen without His knowledge
All are created
With His supervision
His leading prowess
His majestic authority
So
Aren’t you thankful?
He is into you 
And me
That He thought of it
For you and for me
We are His master plan
Perfected 
By the grand Master of all
God -
The Creator
The Refiner
The Chief Shepherd
The Advocate
The Beginning
The Author and Perfecter of our faith
The Apostle
The Carpenter
The Comforter
The Cornerstone
The Almighty
The Bread of Life
The Bishop of souls

Dream Refiner

His skill
Is far beyond surreal
His face is covered by mask of steel 
He is an angel of horizon will

But even if horizon is his reflection to it he has no reference point
By the greatest power he is anoint
He is definition of sublime from every view point
With him the soul of divine from end of abyss is conjoint

He is a divine elemental dream
That from reference point only to itself he would stream
He is above kraken or other biological extreme
He is the visage of the supreme

Premium MemberHe Sees My Heart

He sees my heart
The deepest part
Where my dark secret lies

He sees my heart
And all I hide
It fills tears in His eyes

He knows my frame
That I am weak
And so he gently waits

For me to ask Him
To come in
And clean all that he hates

I hear the knock
Upon my door
He’s on the other side

He won’t come in
By divine force
Love his hands have tied

I need to invite Him
To my home
And ask Him if He’ll stay

The Refiner of
This soiled heart
Loves to hear me pray

And so He comes
And so He enters
My heart is not the same

He has removed
All that allures
Given my heart His name!
