The brisk wind has commanded 

«It is time to fly!»...

Christian, a baptized person
To believe all that Christ has taught
To do all that He has commanded
As necessary for our salvation...

A preacher commanded the Lord
To end all religious discord
The Devil got hot
And said, "You get squat!
It takes fire to temper a sword!"...

unholy earth calls                              
darkness commanded by sun
powers suspended
resurrection at nightfall
an eternal damnation...

Too many questions...
Not enough action...
Too much talk
Gives no satisfaction,

Not enough hope...
Too much demanded...
Where is the faith
You once commanded?...

The mighty seas controlled by Ginger Beard,
A prolific pirate creepy and feared;
His ship commanded grit,
Filled with obnoxious wit;
The ship sank and the treasures disappeared....

Jesus Was Resurrected

Remember when Jesus was resurrected,
As His Father commanded and directed;
God is His Guide;
Nothing to hide;
Back in heaven both of them are connected.

Bigger than every stage
she commanded
Greater than the sum
of her parts
Braver than the men
who adored her
Sharper than the image
—that endures

I'm from the sea
since remote time
in which electrifyingly
 i sailed paper boats....
Since early ages when i
commanded the white boats of clouds..
Now I sail in the deep sea of myself
where I am always shipwrecked... !...

Placed by God in a
Babling brook, five stones
David took, to fight
Goliath giant man
David shephard lad

Five smooth stones by
God commanded
Make your mark as
God intended

Running fast
One in sling
Listen hear

That stone
Singing

Bling...

Life is a surrealistic ship
  commanded by divine pilots
  that transports us frame by frame
to a strange planet
which is called timeless,
where are we going to live
as if born -again.,
to  accomplish the mission started here,
without us knowing how......

“Your hat's all wrong”, she said,
“On the wrong side of your head”.

“To the mirror”, she commanded.
Discovered I was now left-handed.

I removed the hat with discretion,
Found myself without direction.

Realizing the magnitude of my loss,
I valued the lines I could not cross....

They took all my metal parts. 

Which they said were dangerous. 

And handed me a crayon. 

Convicts, get to work!

Write away your lives.  

And leave them here. 

So you will all be reformed!

They commanded. 

They demanded. 

Until we were trained. 

To act without urgency....

Like an angel she sang
A voice made of silk,
To the heaven she thronged
And came down honey combs.

To the gods I commanded
Someone of your stature,
Then here on earth I found
A brought from the skies.

I cannot love you the 
Way that you deserve,
I can only love you
The best way I can....

lost love is simply that only because both parties are no longer on the same page... yet if one is fighting the fires of confusion single handed... its like their union ...she or he has commanded... love is colorful flame that changes as the intensity of the two... some say its pink others say its blue......

Us,
made from dust
from atoms,

From molecules, from
Quantum spells,

Us,
Forged from the flames of
Eternity,

Formed
from,
Dry bones
Commanded
To Rise from the desert sand,

Us,
a cloud of ghostly shapes,
held together;

By hope,
By Love,
By dreams,

Us,
We are.

Lord, lead my life thru Your love’s light*
    
 Lighten my load as I lean on You.

2Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Suborned to serve without recourse
Bonded to fight in dissonant force
Branded as national material resource
Sanctioned to bridge political discourse.

Constrained to go on amorphous mission
Commanded to kill with cunning precision
Ordered to sacrifice without condition
Feted to die in lowly contrition....

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!...

Why was I given a voice, 
When I was told to be quiet?
Why was I given ears,
When I was commanded to not hear?
Why was I given eyes,
When I was ordered to not see?
Why was I given skin,
When I was instructed to not feel?
Why was I given a soul,
When I was directed to not live?...

I used to believe in things
thoughts were proof of belief
but nothing tangible
could ever be held in hand
these are the things
commanded by faith
it is the leap you proudly make
not knowing where you will land
but strong enough to face anything
believing in his presence

Diamond-bright-eyes,
Like king Solomon wise,
But like those of a rogue,
Lusting for valuables in vogue;
From parcel shifting to parcel,
The unlikeliest to indulge any counsel,
Of money, commanded ears listen to its rustle,
Not to its owners hustle and bustle,
Nor to his heaves of his muscle...

These are not what Christ wants,
Nor the baptisms in his fonts....

Listen to poem:

As if Eden 
David J Walker

Something about the morning 
And the evening

Attracts me to my garden 
As if it were Eden

As if I were Adam  
As if you were Eve

As if we were 
commanded to conceive 

The next generation
or else leave the business of

Perfection of the garden 
to another being 

Affected by the beauty of
the morning and the evening...
