Do not Fear, will not fade away at these dawns waving crimson flag
Before burns out last owen that fumes above my homeland
It is my nation's star that will shine forever
Its mine, its my nation's however
Do not wrinkle up your visage dear coy crescent, I'll be sacrificed
To my hero race smile once, what is this severity this wrath
Then will not be just for you our bloods that poured out
Deserves independence my nation who is worshipper of God

I wish you were there
When I needed you the most
I thought you were the only one
Who will protect me, at any cost
When my trembling hands
Wiped off the heat of tears
I was going through so much
All that my heart had always feared
The pain I felt right in the chest
Strong enough, to forget the rest
The swollen eyes, were a sign
I had lost the nutrients, the brine
The severity of sorrow, the sorrow
When you know, there is no tomorrow
The decision I had to make that day
The Heart said stay, brain wanted to go
I couldn't hate you for this stuff
You're my love, it wasn't bluff
Now If I stay, I know I'll surely shatter
You can't fix me, you know this better

This candle burns slowly —and with the severity of courage
We pick our way with utter caution down the bombarded stairway
One thing is certain: we must flee from this scoffing pillage.
Aided by fluttering tallow, our vision is haunted by the airway.

He said ' look back at me'
but she didn't want to see
so the conflict carried on
and events, spiraled uncontrolled, from day one
she had to move from home she loved
for the sake of parents, beloved
and when he struggled to find the words
her pride refused , his sense of worth
she thinks he's not responsible actions
but he says he loves her, thought not of her reputation
she misinterprets his brooding nature
only see's his strength of purpose, later
but he finds her wilful pride disturbs him
and he finds her distance nature, very prim
but her wrath towards his severity
is her failing, to see him sincerely
he misinterprets her ...intentions
both stubborn to see each others attraction
but as love is sure to find a way
when he finds the right words to say
'look back, look back at me'

Fragility is quite a strength
just as the crucial bumblebees’ breath
Perhaps not only titularly
gentleness is stronger than severity . . .
Channeling Emily Dickinson : To be a feather in a holocaust
– hope, sewn in the soul, sings the song needed most
A minor thought on regeneration : To regrow the leg the mantis lost
– a marvel on a molecular level - most miraculous
Of majestic beauty : To behold the fragile snowflake - winter’s impetus
– intricate masterpieces exist in the microscopic and minutest
Plant power is undisputed : To reap lemongrass’ healing gifts
– behold a beloved botanical treasure of abundant benefits
Quantity trumps quality when better suited : To cut out the mountains through erosive agency
– water as a weatherer works wondrously
Sources of energy : From the brilliant and prodigious mitochondrion - a natural wonder
to the multifaceted palm frond - suitable as tinder
It can certainly be said that, in the slight
one can perceive preternatural might
So, as the Scots say, “while we breathe we hope”
and our delicate operatives firmly stay a-float

Off the wake-up, open my eyes and start seeking some clarity.
A never-ending search for ‘someone like me’
I guess I’m rich in rarity
No doubt, I have everything a girl could ever want
Starting to feel like I’m just my mom in a different font
What could I possibly be longing for?
My life’s one big blissful whirlwind-wind of whirl- feel like I’m just a very lucky broken girl.
Who to please? God or me? I know the answer seems obvious-but everything ain’t what it seem.
If it weren’t for my mom? Who would I be?
If I had time with my dad? Would I have more security? serenity? Something to ground me and surrender me?
Who to be? What to choose? In return, will I gain for what I lose?
Lie down and close my eyes, say my prayers, pray to God for some clarity.
Why’s nobody tell you you can yearn to such severity?

Looking for a Reason,
To be Okay with Leaving,
The Past behind.
Try and Find My peace of Mind.
Fully Redesign And Realign,
Into the Eyes of The Divine.
To Truly See,
What lies in front of me.
The Balance within Duality.
Bringing us clarity,
And the Severity,
of Each Situation.
The part we play in relation,
To the Paths that could be taken.
Rearranging Reality,
The Past held in Gravity,
As We Lift Off.
Changing the pace,
Expanding our Knowledge base.
Exploring Unlimited Space,
And Evolving as a Race.
Together facing the Unknown,
In spaceships made of Bone.
Our Past set in Stone,
We Leave it alone.
Focusing on how we've Grown,
Shown by Example.
Handling Challenges,
As they are thrown.
Sampling Our Present,
The Gift we Always Own.

I never want to feel that again,
I saw your darkness in the end,
I never understood how you felt,
Until I saw you turning into someone else,
Trapped beyond what I could comprehend,
I was shown the severity behind the man,
Coming towards me from all different directions,
Rebuking while running for my life for protection,
Leading another girl out of the house,
I have no idea who she was but we both got out,
As I looked back into the room you were standing behind a brick wall,
All you could do was stare at me but you couldn't come near me at all,
As I woke from the dream in tears, my heart pounding hard,
I prayed Lord, was this really the condition of his heart?
Layers upon layers that I could not see,
Until I was shown spiritually,
My heart overwhelmed, I just sat and cried,
I asked God to protect his heart and his life,
Through all of this God was protecting my soul,
Showing me in the end how to let him go.

November 26 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Romans 11-13
Key Verse – Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS TO US
Praise be to God for His goodness to us:
Granting us His grace
Girding us by His governance
Greeting to us with His gladness
Gripping us around His guidance-gear
Giving us through His generosity for His glory
Romans 12:1 Praise be to the Lord for
enabling us to present ourselves unto Him:
Making His will fulfilled
Ministering by His ways faithfully
Mentoring through His Word fruitfully
Mastering to walk worthily with Him fervently
Magnifying Him in our worship against worldliness’ futility
Romans 13:14 Praise be to the Saviour for
teaching us to submit to His power along His:
Love with His steadfast leadership
Light midst our sinful lamentation
Lessons for spiritual learning
Laws on Scriptural liberty
Life of salvation-lifting. Amen!

My thoughts of this world lie troubled and profound
As I pause drenched in the golden hues of copper fields
Stretched to the limit of the bronzed horizons that crowned
Beaming with the aspiration of assured hope revealed
As the sun wraps reverently all around
Where old familiars have settled to retreat
I have come where tranquility and serenity abound
Looking for a place of peace
I stand uplifted by a fabled tree of legendary rhyme
That laid its roots sublimely patterned in story
To furrow richly in the swelling soil of time
Gently resting within its landscape’s glory
It grew ever so magnificently
Harvesting the goodness of adaptation
In perfect unison with nature's severity
Relinquished in the passing of generations
Strong and textured with roughness and age
From the scars of hardship it dwells
In its simplicity and synchronicity-a musical page
A soothing lullaby-a song of peace and farewell
And in that golden light I am reminded we must
In a world amid calamity, despair and strife
Find ourselves in this place of calmness and trust
Amidst gardens of hope glowing with harmonious life

Commitment
Dealing with the adversity
Staring into complacency
The fact that they lie is the majority
The moment the truth is an obituary
We stress to test our humanity
To see if we have morality
But we dont know our own limits
So we underestimate our competency
The severity of your impunity
Derived from the clarity of your immunity
The absence of longevity
The presence of obscurity

**Tonight I am beginning Entry thirty-five,
Another day is conquered, & I'm thankful I'm alive.
Also it is now year twenty-twenty-three (2023),
I'm curious as to what this new year has for me.
**As I'm hoping & I'm praying for my pain to be quite low,
But because it changes daily, its severity I just don't know.
So I will just continue to battle & fight like hell,
Perhaps this year we'll find a cure, yet only time will tell.
**Also one thing about me is I don't give up easy at all,
Even through the unbearable times, when I stumble or fall.
Plus I'm still refusing, to show this curse defeat,
When my health & life are concerned, I will not be beat.
**But through this new year twenty-twenty-three,
I vow to remain as happy as I can possibly be.
So if this brand new year of ours, happens to find a cure,
It will be worth every prayer, that I have prayed for sure!

A sweet secret
Waves of depression without waste of opportunity,
Trade with season of whiff of irritation,
Worthy mentioned whirlwind of smoke,
Animates to weight the wiles of innocence,
Tracing the bitterness with a touch of severity,
Train of disasters then transfer factors of agony,
Sweeping the land of tempest of passion,
Surface of events tides the surge of pathos,
slough of ignorance shackles an approach of fate,
A summit of misery with the scrap of adversity,
Staves all rains of life in formless dread,
Rectitude of soul freezes at the thought,
Relishing of its beauty refines the style,
When ravages of time delves crumpled pain,
Qualm of conscience still seems in radiance of morning,
At dusk a ray of hope of peace,
With the pendulum of great feeling of worthy ,
Pules the progress of events with miracles,
Agitation in a sense of meditative content takes,
Sighs at a large contentment over the place,
With a solemn glee possessing utterance of destiny.

What I only wished for most was
another chance to see your glance
another chance to see your dance
as I walked in that door.
You came into my life when
we were both young and healthy
we were learning together it was
going to be a great life for us.
Life threw us many harsh twists and
turns so I was incapable of heeding
what you were requiring because
I was struggling too.
I didn’t recognize the severity
or the frailty that came over you
though you tried to show me many
times with your expressive eyes.
Then you lost your ability to walk
and I began to talk; I told you I loved
you, I tried to take better care of you
but was belated in doing so.
I failed my loyal companion and it was an
irreplaceable love lost when I arrived home
too late that somber day as I watched you take
your last breaths and then you went to death.
With the unfathomable and horrific pain
of losing my beloved dog, Rocky,
I cry out everyday Please, God
Another Chance!
