Carved arches of rainbows competed with the sunbeam clouds.
Stairs from the seen scenes to the unseen secrets sped in shrouds.
Galaxies and constellations like lightning bolts shined and shunned.
Between snow-white clouds, seraphims and cherubims hummed.
I saw the souls of saints around the thrones of the Trinity.
They sang and danced, adorned in robes of divinity.
The hems of the cloaks of the father, the son, and the spirit
Flowed and glowed through the realm, joys implicit and explicit.
Amidst hills, seas, oceans, and valleys, in the velvet green
On the edge of the yard of Eden, Adam and Eve were seen.
The seasons of spring, summer, winter, and autumn looked blended.
With plants, trees, flowers, and fruits, the heavenscape seemed splendid.
The merge of God’s glory and joy of beings is heaven.
Love, peace, kindness, goodness, and fullness there bind everyone.

A stirring storm of lightning like lava caused commotion.
Among seraphims and cherubims… clouded confusion.
The father asked, when all prophets failed, 'who, now, would I send?'
Celestials, like souls of ghosts, stood benumbed at your consent.
Didn't the chorus of 'Holy' give you endless pleasure?
Did the heavens strain you so that you sought earthly leisure?
The galaxies and constellations stood in sombre surprise.
Who could stop you when visions of salvation filled your eyes?
Didn't you know a cross-shaped piece of wood would be your bed?
Your flesh would be torn. Bones would be broken. Blood would be shed.
Stretching your nailed hands and your damaged legs, you would stand dead.
Wasn't it with no knowledge of grief that you went ahead?
The heavens descended on the earth at your incarnation.
Times, O Christ, ticked your timelessly timed perpetuation.

Twinkles the exceptional lights.
Her Christmas eyes, holiday green.
In the dark you can see her whites.
Shines like the moon on Winter nights.
Her acres startle of twilights.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.
Flamboyant blinker-pomp excites;
And heaven’s angels it delights.
Illuminated halo heights.
Seraphims and cherubims praise.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.
She can’t see what’s out of her sights.
On Holiday she set her sights.
For where does she find the brilliance?
God’s moral code - not wrongs but rights.
Twinkles the exceptional lights.

The most mischievous of culprits,
A tough veil over its secrets;
Devilishly keeps patrolling incognito
For the unilateral contracts it enters into.
The Eternally Incommunicado;
But easily us reaching without ado,
No signature endorsing after a collection;
Merchandise shipping to abysmal direction,
The reason why I can’t praise its business empire,
Indeed, any transaction with no umpire.
Fallout of Eve’s naivety,
And unwitting acceptance of Free Captivity,
After “a Do-this-and-not-that” instruction,
Making allowance for reckless decision,
Its fulfillment the handiwork of Cherubims,
Behind leaving their Seraphims,
For a continual swinging of fire-vomiting swords,
That must implement God’s voiced words.
Today, my ugliest frowns at sabotaging spade,
And the longest sigh for being a mortal made.

Listen all that stumble and fallen into arms of Angels.
This of mine' loves so dearly, much more than she can be loved.
Seraphims above and ghastly deities below -
She is the purest form of them all.
Her smiles' elegantly reassuring.
Like a singing bird that deserves a hand of applause.
A bow and a red rose thrown at her feet.
Certainly we are assured -
That a slightest light gives an estranged bird a profound feeling of utmost fortitude.
Alas!
In similar ways, this of mine', pure at heart, glittered with beauty and profoundly made me speak out against the gods, Aphrodite and Eros that had unfairly confined such a beautiful bird that sang the words of Love from dawn to sunset.

wild bramble,

Wishes become a reality but you must manifest them
it's fundamental to be worthy for a proper fit
it worked for me today and anytime I do
no star is necessary just believing it true
You can tell your aspirations and that does no harm
dreams won't be real either if you unarm
when they're scary you can turn them around
and create an adjustment to sleep sound
We're not pawns controlled by the wizard
nothing can force you to do something even a lizard
people are discussing evil oppressed millions
they are Seraphims and not nasty reptilians
They are flawless and smell all right
as they praise God day and night
we must notice only optimistic things
as nature sings

I.
Oh my sweet Heavenly night,
with angels in my eye’s pure sight-
Take me to a place of charming love
with flights of an ivory turtle dove,
I need your sincerity tonight.
II.
Where Cherubs sing in chorus,
and loved ones always adore us-
Where Seraphims harp a tune,
and no one is immune.
This passion is here for us.
Chorus
Oh, save me with wings of gold,
and take me to have and to hold-
When I’m down may you take me in,
to feel the warmth you feel within-
And when my day’s full of sin,
this heavenly night shall begin.
III.
Oh, my sweet Heavenly night,
where all the darkness turns to light-
I’ve seen moments of prevailing dust,
now tonight compassion is a must.
I’ve given up the God-awful fight,
and have been saved by this heavenly night.
Chorus
Oh, save me with wings of gold,
and take me to have and to hold-
When I’m down may you take me in,
to feel the warmth you feel within-
And when my day’s full of sin,
this heavenly night shall begin.
.....I've been saved by this heavenly night.

Serenading with sermons at services,
Serious seraphims searched out self-serving serpents.
But serrated silver certainly surpasses serenity.
Sirloin snake steaks seared and served by servants.

My form of sonnet modified(Holy Spirit).
Now it entails; An Acrostic form with the rhyme scheme aabbcdeeffcdgg. Enjoy!
'HE TWO CHERUBIMS
'Hewn out of mystery,
Endowed with scary physiognomy.
Tensed with eyes and flappy wings
Winning heart-dexterity-often stings.
Owning the shield of Alpha's eyes
Carressing the depth of omega's might.
Heralding six wings and four qualities.
Eloping from eagle's to veil's obscurities.
Ruling of high handedness of his train.
Under the wave of the creator's reign.
Moistured with veils in which they flies.
Inwardly a darkness,abhorring the creator's sight.
Messangers of peace-that did honour raise.
Seraphims' Juniors-lifter of his praise.

I wish to be in the bowl
Where the moon and the sun shine.
Outside here is the Armageddon
Where the saint gnash their teeth
In pain and in vain.
In the bowl lives the repentance:
The gunslingers turn the Seraphims
And the gaolbirds become the Cherubs
Singing sonorously at the treasury gate:
Lord spare the gullible.
I wish to be in the bowl
Where shame becomes fame
Where indolence is the excellence
Where impunity is two for penny
Where immunity is: buy one and take four.
I wish to be in the bowl;
The paradise of the foul.

Heavenly messengers, God-sent,
Who guard us from evil dangers,
Angels are God's secret agents.
Entertained by some as strangers,
They are God's mighty ministers,
Who guard us from evil dangers.
Rejoicing over repenters,
Shining forth with dazzling beauty,
They are God's mighty ministers.
Holy angels do their duty,
As cherubims and seraphims,
Shining forth with dazzling beauty.
Praising God in 'angelic' hymns,
They have their limitations, though,
As cherubims and seraphims.
To 'heirs of salvation' below
Heavenly messengers, God-sent;
They have their limitations, though
Angels are God's secret agents.

One day the son said to God,
“Humans need a laugh squad.”
“Say what son?”
“You mean fun?”
“Wouldn’t that seem a bit odd?”
“No Dad, I think it’d be cool,”
“Maybe even laughter in school!”
He’s sounding coy,
the silly boy,
thought God, Am I a sour old fool?
Then he remembered the rip
in poor Job’s small ill-fated ship
The sound, like split britches
had them laughing in stitches.
Thought God, “When did my humor get stripped?
God pondered and stroked his long beard.
Cherubs and seraphims peered,
though mystified,
they deified.
Downstairs, the outcast one sneered.
“Tell you what son, let’s give ‘em politics.”
“It’s way more fun than sinking small ships.”
So the laughing squads
(two teams at odds),
were loosed on the masses with tricks.
Which, coincidently, was fine
with the one who’d crossed the line,
Beelzebub,
became the hub
for political slime in prime time.

The colored flowers of Spring arc upward
Moving slowly in the grace of splayed light
Their scent gathers us in without regard
Gives life its fragrance of Earthly delight
Dewdrops get caught upon petals, to fall
Dripping slowly to the soft grass below
Tongue of butterflies stay on honey's call
As the Spring silently begins to show
Motion so graceful, without any pause
To grateful eyes bring a song of romance
And seems elegant in its quiet cause
These seraphims from heaven slowly dance
Blooming colors of flowers to amaze,
The flowers of Spring are lavished with praise

What does your life amount to?
when you consider it all in full
without Christ it means nothing
as you're without His godly rule
Life that's full of peace and joy
always having Christ at your side
that's truly life as it's meant to be
Jesus always there able to confide
Life in Christ is a total life
never to leave nor forsake
He is with you always forever
even to glory there to awake
There among the angels and seraphims
with Christ also you will appear
for you are united in Him
where you will shed not a tear
We look forward to that day
where time will be no more
with Christ your eternal life
now on your heavens shore
AUTHOR NOTES: When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians ch3 v. 4 (ESV)
