The Drowning Darkness
When life goes right
it somehow never fails
that something from the past
tries to return and bite you in the tail.
Try as it may
I stand strong and stay
on the path set before me
and nothing will get in the way.
I've been steadfast on this journey so far.
There is no way I can fall off the radar.
I've lived

Saved
--Blossom Monyei--
Beaten,
Hurt,
Whipped,
Nailed,
He paid for me
Not with gold
But with His life
A promise of love.
I won’t forget
His great gift,
The blood He gave,
The price He paid.
When I get lost,
He finds me.
He leaves the rest
Just to bring me back.
My sins were deep,
But His blood cleaned me.
Now I am saved,
With Him forever free.

Saved From Invaders
Seeing the mashed potatoes,
Heaped upon my plate.
Sent me reeling to a past,
I could relate.
With a scoop of potatoes,
Laying in my spoon.
They sailed across the table,
Right in Fathers' face.
Off

The Quiet Things That Saved Me
I was saved by quiet things—
The rustle of the morning breeze,
The way the robin spreads its wings,
The golden drift of autumn leaves.
I was saved by threads of light
That touched my skin through broken blinds,
By distant stars that pierced the night,
By echoes I had left behind.
I was saved by falling rain—
The softest tears the sky could

The sacrifice of drowning so others could be saved
Empty, that's all she felt
She hated the numbness that would blindly attack
She did so much for others
But she couldn't help herself
She carried the weight of being black
Where racism would slowly break her back
She couldn't even go to a hospital they'd probably throw her out
Calling her 'dramatic'
Saying she should go somewhere else
This

He Died For Me
My gosh! Oh how can it be
That Jesus suffered and died for me?
God the Father sent His only Son
Once on the cross the suffering begun
Jesus lifted His eyes to the sky
In His heart He asked the Father why
No answer came, He hadn't a clue
When the answer did come
Jesus then felt brand new
For all were saved

Saved From Hell
Why don't you just quit this nonsense
It's time to give up this very fight
He hung from that cross early morning
Until the bitter chill of the night
Strangers came by to see Him
None offered Him one bit of help
Torn, tattered and beaten
His God came to greet Him
Caressed Him and saved His Son from hell

Fallen
Disobedience is at the root of it.
Deciding not to follow in God’s plan.
Now concupiscence is the fruit of it.
What was done made me what I am.
But, behold, the Savior came, and He gave a heavenly gift.
With His life and love He healed the rift…
Although I’m fallen by nature
By His grace I am saved.
For He opened

It's Free
The earth is beautiful, a sign
of love much greater – God has sketched
His grace and love, come rain or shine
He’s always there, His hand outstretched
The morning glory, the rose and thorn
all His beauties are sent to bestow
hope on a world, a heart and soul reborn
offerings from One to whom I owe…
all my life, my love

Love that saved stork
“It’s a very beautiful bird. It can never be ugly!
It’s the most beautiful bird in the world!”
- Quote by Purnima Devi Barman,
Wildlife biologist who saved
Greater Adjutant stork species
-------------------------------------------------------
Greater Adjutant stork
Uncomely looks
Despised by all
For being ugly
No other fault
No graceful gait
No melody
Awkward height
Impolite eater
Unsettled gaze
A woman fell in love
Raised an all woman
Hargila army

Virat Kohli
Virat..never ersatz..fat cat with the bat
Look at record book stats in every format
Kerching bling King of tats
Vicious & pernicious in the ring
Kohli kidology methodology thing
Tit for tat..spit for spat
Bit of chit chat
Never ending..mind bending
No caveat..rat a tat tat
Doff your hat & all that
Could only be Virat
Parting platitude ”walking away with a heart full of gratitude”

The Seas Took What Couldn't Be Saved
Disconsolate obsidian waves crash over crumbling dunes,
Sweeping afflicted grains of sand back into the depths,
Dragging my paralysed soul with them.
Engulfed in despondent riptides,
I gasp for oxygen amongst rippling currents,
As a fiery moon hangs precariously overhead.
Blood-red reflections illuminate the stark waters,
While calls of the lost sing to me,
Like sirens beckoning sailors to their doom—
Louder and louder,

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
By Amazing Grace your life was saved
United family, friend, foe and God
As we sang your eyes turned to heaven
And you let go of your earthly brethren
By Amazing Grace, mom will bear her grief
Knowing that you are saved, her relief
Her heartache and pain knows no boundaries
When the dawn breaks, all she has is memories
