On my garage floor, the ants hold daily dance rehearsals~
tiny jitterbugs in helmets, warriors, fearless and universal.
Creativity oozed into the conversation
Knowing that an impression would be needed
to curve the conversation from music to
food. We wanted both the music gig and the
catering gig.
The guy loves catfish and scallops so she
Came up with a fused meal that could make
an impact. A blackened catfish and blackened scallop with a coconut shrimp and catfish mousse. The mousse would be baked separye with coconut cream and chili oil with ciatro and lime. Piped and baked and centered between both scallop and fish. Cutting disks from the fillets the scraps to be made into a mousse.
Stacked and served with a salad and vineggerette, . I heard the rehearsals and were impressed, our turn started with the fish dish.Wanting to serve an elk and melon dish for the seafearing. A horseradish and cheese poto side with asparagus and carrots. I called the dish " Ballet El Songo" the rhubarb and raspberry tartes dessert is meant to " clear the way for this tenor to sing".Wish us luck!
When All Seems Lost
Kevin Davis 2025
When all seems lost and pathways fade away,
Listen to your soul — it will not loudly say.
It speaks not quick, nor flickers faint and wane;
When you're prepared to hear, it lives inside your brain.
It's answers bloom from everything you've learned,
A quiet catalog of lessons you've earned.
From day one you've been training for this fight —
Trust that inner lantern guiding you through night.
When all is lost, hush — your soul will show the way:
Quiet echoes of each lesson learned by day.
From childhood's small rehearsals to the trials you've known,
Inside you lives the answer — softly, but your own.
When All Seems Lost
Kevin Davis 2025
When all seems lost, and pathways fade away,
Listen close to your soul — it will not loudly say.
It speaks not quickly, nor flickers faint and wan;
When you're prepared to hear, it lives inside your brain.
Your answers bloom from everything you've learned,
A quiet catalog of the many lessons earned.
From day one, you've been training for this fight —
Trust that inner lantern guiding you through the night.
When all is lost, hush — your soul will show the way:
Quiet echoes of each lesson learned each day.
From childhood's small rehearsals to the trials you've known,
Inside you lives the answer — softly, but your own.

the wonder twins of worship
when it comes to the Lord our God
is praying and playing from the depths of our hearts
to use our instruments to allow
the melody of God to reveal
to use our bodies as living witnesses
to bring forth God's power to heal
for the word of God is the foundation
of the theological message in the song
and the melody will always sit on top of God's words
where it righteously belongs
the raw breath of God does not need our assistance.
it only needs us to apply an unparalleled persistence
yes, preparation is required
when it comes to giving God our best
rehearsals and practice must be approached
with importance and not a mild interest
It's okay to judge the gifts,
just never question those who are anointed
yes, there is great talent
but were they by God assigned and appointed
let your worship be your relationship with God
and let your daily prayer life build a legacy
as we stir up the gifts God gave us
dancing and playing with a dedicated tenacity
so let us prophesize with our instruments
let the movement of dance embody the Holy Spirit,
the twin wonders of worship,
praying and playing with a godly commitment
Life's Rehearsals
Friendly faces, Different time zones
Repeat performances.
A Carousel of entertainment? Different
Emotions encountered by one's life's ups
And downs.
Anger, Discouraged, Joy, Malancholic,
No fear, Objectively, No regrets, take risks.
There are no do overs attentively to live one's
Life.
Live your life to the fullest, It will be some
Loses, wins accept it without any malice.
Portray to be the best of one's ability of Life's Rehearsals.
I’ve sold winter coldness to those who’re huge in their chests oncorners of these abandoned streets, where bars aren’t happy with myfootprints in front of every door. Where I hit myself at close range. Where I pay a price to win no game. However, she’s worked all her lifeto bring up all her children within this magical world of theatre & music.She’s convinced that these children won’t fail to understand & accept opera& early rehearsals. I'm bedridden waiting. Welcome to a pigheaded house. Welcometo your fate that befalls many emigrants you plant like beets beside the beetleto see new growth. Welcome to where you don’t fancy a beer before bier afterthe funeral. Something is bedraggled from the hedgerow & that’s your ex’sspecial brand. However, the twigs are dry & brittle, & cracked beneaththeir feet from the beginning. Her children are looking for more spaciouspremises after that premeditated murder in a blighted area where I prescribe hera daily diet chart.
Clouds can close the stars
But can't extinguish them
It means that I did not see you
But it means what I see in you
No one can guarantee a full success
If you don't, who else will do
If you can't write, someone will do
If you don't take it in your hand
There would always be someone else
In real life there are no rehearsals
Every moment is pure ad lib and that's it
To maintain a state of contentment and happiness
One must always move forward without looking back
Our purpose in life is not to seek love
But finding and removing barriers in our life
In order to return to that wondeful feeling
Our life on Earth is learning and gaining experiences
What we have known and manifest in the material world
Without having the final destination
Except the way home back to God
Surely, you will never go wrong.
(A seductive voice whispers as incense fills the air)
Sat within here
A discarded loop in time and space
Within this room
I see you all in the distance
Shimmering through
Like bright pink desert mirages
In your living tombs
Stood alone
In my magical circle of no rehearsals
Chanting Yaruba tribes
Ancient magical rites
Summoning up the populous of Godhead
So I the shaman can call to you
“When the living ground eats the breathing Sun, I will open the secret doors to take you home.
For eating and tasting words like a new, Grace Dent, at Lent, isn't for you.
Just write this down and burn it in the back garden on a piece of paper.
I'm ready,
Come and take me to the secret amphitheatre
Where the voices of the Serpent
The Beast
And God take to its stage
To showcase who they've taken home and played.”
To then write out your own name in the ruined temples books
Before you line up to watch
Before they return
And choose
Before you are took
And I'll call within a heartbeat
To take you East
To meet
Either God or the Beast

Tape Measure
The very deep breathing of
the tape measure continues to
affect my
USB holders cha-cha rehearsals.
Ice dancing is enchanting
Wonderful and incredible
It requires total dedication
To achieve perfect harmony
There are many exhausting
Rehearsals and tiring executions
On the acting itself on ice rink
They are like birds flying free
A beautiful art representation
Often synchronised with rhythmic
Motion of emotions and grace dancing
In accompanying soulful music theme
The audience see the whole impact
And every round about ordeal of action
Is not exempted in the scrutiny of the jury
The winner is crown the darling of the moment
And the most spectacular in all captured lens
But the glory of them all is one that does
The totality of those actors in the rink
Whose dedication and aspiration is unmatched
The expertise in their craft with love unreserved.
Made up Broadway Show
Had to put you in the know
Marquee is set
Visual aid effect
The theory of Fast
The thought of how long
Rehearsals have been for weeks
You are in for a treat
Just don’t retreat
Clock ticking
Almost showtime
Wardrobe change
The background stage is ready
We can’t be late
Remember your script lines
You will do fine
Audience are in their seats anticipating
Overture has begun
You have been invited among
Spotlight on
Curtain rises
Feel the anxiety
The show of wheeling and dealing
Love affairs
Emotions
True dramatics
Rushes and hushes
Face to Face
Pace to Pace
Never ending
Always surviving
Never ending
The applause
The excitement
Amazement
Cast takes their bow
Curtain goes down
Music decreases
Broadway Night
Dazzle in sight
Entertainment
Fulfilling commitment
Uphill climb with time to waste.
(curtain raises)
costumes torn
lighting wrong
make up melts
rehearsals long
missing props
forgotten lines
nervous looks
backstage whines
feuding stars
director puce
sulky looks
uneasy truce
scenery falls
missing cues
singers flat
poor reviews
backstage romance
budget woes
producer quits
big egos
opening night
mistakes are hid
think no one saw
of course they did
run is done
sigh of relief
new show now
see you next week!
(curtain falls)
Overall repeatedly
In the past living
Future blurred
The trees and woods
Overwhelming
Fogging not to see
Rehearsals over and over again
Until the past wins
Seeking not to be positive
Negativity all around
Moments, up and down.
Motivated to be heard
From boldness to firm
Lessons have been learned.
Note: In an environment of negativity? Stay focused on positivity.
