Bravery
His attribute
Always doing
What others are afraid of
Very determined, not desperate
He's so confident and courageous.
Braveness
He's so fearless
Always ready
To face whatever is ahead
He's a risk taker
He's thy people's hope
Even danger can't stop him.
Braveness
Forward and onward
He's always ready
He's not a coward
Always doing the impossible
By setting new records
None could ever break him
Never settled for anything but greatness.
Alluring, bewitching, captivating, Myra the maid
Engaging, entrancing, enchanting, to the young blade
Her mannerisms and behaviors are most delightful
Words of charming advice, empathetic, and insightful
He brought her home to meet his overbearing mama
She slipped out a side door and rode home on a llama
Confident she could do better than this
A glorious woman who remained forever a miss
All of her life pursued by eager suiters day and night
Never settling, retaining herself, they could not extinguish her light
A rock as hard as granite,
Yet a pebble in the flow of life.
All shapes and sizes come and tumble by.
Satisfaction and contentment when alone
To ponder and digest the information of the day.
The soul becomes restless.
Wanting to be free; to wander and explore,
Yet imperfections impede the progress fully.
Thus, searches for a match of worth with passersby.
A masquerade it must have been
To think of finding thy mate.
Mated to one with endless, jagged, and pointy flaws
Who hurt your worth… abate.
Stuck fast in the present;
Too long you’ve settled in.
Groomed by deceit and lies
Has weathered the shape.
Yet an explosion from a hoof of fate,
Dislodges in a cloud of sand and muck.
To be free once more
Down the stream of life.
SETTLED ?
Settled now what we are here.
Let's give our life our last shot.
Desires appear and disappear,
sometimes fulfilled but sometimes not.
Spread happiness, being humble..
Settled now that we are here.
Drive out junks in mind, that jumbled !
On journey of life, make paths clear.
Proceed free when love leads entire.
Give your best, no greed by mistake.
Settled now that what we are here.
We have come to give not to take.
Love is the best urge we have got.
Transparent open mind clean- clear.
Love can untie Gordian knot.
Settled now that what we are here.

lovely the brilliant
a settled day of sunshine
quiet rose petals
Your keen panther gaze
My hunger tense of lion
settled plot of beasts...
she could have been
his sun
to light his path
to far away
meadows
he could not stand
her piercing
brightness
he settled
for the moon
the night came
the moon
dimmed him further
he groped
in the dark
and wished
for the sun
only the sun
was way beyond
the horizon
of his past
quietly
mooning
over another
in a
faraway land
Speaking positively I speak it out never in doubt unstable in my Earth mind I stand unstable unable to comprehend cursings out of my mouth unholy speech humanity speaks rubbish garbage filth yet onward forward past future present forever our Lord father God also forever oh Lord thy word is settled in heaven again forever oh Lord thy word is settled in heaven for it's not what goes in the body but what comes out the mouth forever oh Lord thy word is settled in heaven as humanity speech is unsettled

Slip, my soul, as sunset into the sea ---
settled to stay serenely shining
shaded by the Saviour’s starlight
shielded against stain of sin-sting sorrow
scintillating spiritedly.
Seeking succor from sufferings and strife
soul of mine, slip as sunset into the sea ---
surrounded with Sovereign solitude
secured midst salvation’s surety
subdued from stubborn self-centeredness.
Sweetly savouring satisfaction of sincere service
sufficed by the Supreme Shepherd*
sealed soul, slip steadfastly, as sunset into the sea ---
silenced against slothfulness-shouts with sleep’s solace
safely sheltered toward tomorrow’s steadfast stewardship.
*Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Would you there strongest tie not your knot
To That which the feeble me fakes not?
To that which the frightened me fears not?
To the sunken souls of the sadist me not?
And on ultimatum live in deceptions of desires,
Drained and dusted by winds long gone.
Would you there at best convince me again,
To the then lost, the love and in vain maintain,
To the then rumours, the winds gone and in it claim,
That for which the hearts heavy find happiness pure,
And on the ultimatum live in receptions of longing,
Dipped and dusted in fines of golden gestures.
Won't you for which I write, read and comprehend,
The codings, the wordings whirled and undefined,
That for which I shall presume to have embodied,
All my give-aways, the swirls centered and settled.

The shock that I felt was enormous,
as the tab on the cat food I pulled,
a fountain of biscuits shot out of the top-
the box, it was actually full !
I stood, disbelieving, bewildered,
this never had happened before,
I finally came to my senses again
and swept all the bits off the floor.
'Contents are liable to settle',
I've seen it on loads of foodstuffs,
in some cereals, where half of it is fresh air
and what's left is just not quite enough.
And bags of crisps, don't get me started,
whatever the flavour or range,
seven flakes, powdered crumbs
which just coat both your thumbs
and then leave your tongue feeling short-changed.
Forgive me, for always believing
(and I think most folks do, by and large)
that the air we breathe in now and always has been
since the dawn of mankind, free of charge.
So why do the makers of products
include something already free?
Just give us lots more of the thing I paid for
and leave all the breathing to me.
And when my time one day is over
and no longer am in fine fettle,
the box I'm carried off in,
on the lid of the coffin
write ' contents are liable to settle'.
In God’s love*, I’m victoriously settled
Safely handled by His compassion
Against deceiving schemes causing downfalls…
Thus, I yield to Him, serenely joyous.
With the Almighty’s care is service-might
Prodding me forward in my stewardship
To bear fruits of sacrificial fervor…
Blessed by His grace in prayer-fellowship.
*Romans 5:5 …The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Settled in the Saviour’s steadfastness...
...satisfied am I within His security.
Saved by God from sin’s wages...
...sure is my soul toward heaven's serenity.
Sealed with the Holy Spirit*...
...set am I to shine forth with Christian sincerity
Sanctified to serve the Lord...
...sweet is my fellowship with Him midst Satan's subtlety.
Strengthened spiritually upon Scriptures...
...studying His statutes subdues my superfluity
Set to spread His love with the Son’s compassion-stirring...
…striving am I since He separates me within His safety.
*Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
March 25, 2019
Settled in my
Saviour* and Lord of
steadfast grace with
security's assurance;
saved by God from
sin’s wages in hell;
sealed with the Holy Spirit;
sanctified by His mercy to
serve Him faithfully;
strengthened by Christ
spiritually upon
Scriptures' truth,
stirred blissfully...
set am I willingly as His
steward, privileged to
spread His love thru His compassion.
*1Timothy 1:1 ... Our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope.

That's right little ole lady
it's here once again
your birthday is back
so let your aches
settle in
What to get you,
something old or new
you kissed my cheek
and said,
your love will do
But to get a gift
is not just for you
when the one
watching you open it
gets excited to
So i went for a walk
and i wandered about
i kicked this old liquor
bottle and a genie
came out
As shocked, startled
and as scared as
i was this gift would
be perfect for the
woman i love
So i scooped
the genie and the
three wishes up
i ran all the way home
while shaking him up
Sitting the bottle
on the kitchen counter
i unscrewed the cap
and never smelt
anything fouler
The bottle fell over
and the genie rolled out
he got back to his feet
when he then passed
out
All i could do
was laugh at the genie
now pittiful and drunk
just needing some
sleepy
So now at this point
there is nothing
i can do
so i went to moma
and said, "pick a hand
One or Two"
The drunken genie man
was the hand she picked
so i handed her the hand
with the half full bottle
and told ger to
wash him down quick
with this foul smelling
whiskey sour
