hope encounters devotion
yielding embrace shared
intimate exchange pleading
love endowing hungry hearts

Death. A bright beacon in a sea storm
Endowing warnings of rocky shores.
"All hands on deck!" vessel now prepared;
The time-driven waves directing it
Homeward, no matter the ships technique.

"...I can feel my insides rotting..."...

We often,

Accuse you, oh life,

For

Being heartless and vicious

Reality
                                                     
But

Rarely find time to thank you

For

Endowing us with the Lord's

Spirituality!

Enticing fantasies, Love's ember,
Ensconcing dreams, Love's befriender,
Engendering hopes, Love's lender,
Enthralling desires, Love's tinder
 
Endearing charms, Love's render,
Enterprising schemes, Love's contender,
Endowing passions, Love's commender,
Enduring affections, Love's surrender....

Tranquil is the flower
that sits on the hill,
calm, peaceful -still

Doing its duty,
Endowing its beauty,
Gracing the land,
Affection at hand

No end to
its power,
Eternal,
the flower

A marvel
to view,
The Flower is you.....

We often accuse you, oh life,

                             For being a heartless and vicious reality
                                                     
                                        But seldom do we thank you

                              For endowing us with God's spirituality!

The shade of a swizzle stick dark and drawing
Fear head will fall in shivers while bowing
Snorts for some warmth fighting dreams till endowing
and save you from hugs where illusions are calming

Drooling aside to wiping the stubble
Awaken; then rising, then resting when humble
Sweet sleeping dreamer a'rest in the rubble
Left until morning when words will mean trouble...

The hour arrives when moon and sky unfold

as prelude between day and eve awakes;

till hand of sunset bids goodbye, consoled

and quietude lingers before  dawn breaks

endowing soft pause,   mending workload's aches.

Little things they mean the most
Open minds, beliefs in ghosts
Remembering all this life has taught
Instead of all the pain it’s brought

Knowledge gained from every test
Endowing me to be my best
Rewarded with all it is I’ve got
Rest assured I have a lot
Instilled with emotions over the years
Getting rid of most my fears
As of now I’ve learned to love
Now I believe in God above...

God's arms are wide-open, 
Endowing you with grace; 
Once you obey His commands, 
Rapture is surely in place. 
God's arms are wide-open, having virtually no limits; 
Expect blessings from Him, like requesting some wits. 

Maker's arms are wide-open, 
Over and over again; 
Saturday sixth of May, 
Time to feel the soft wind. 
Almighty Lord in the sky, 
Zenith is under His heaven; 
Allow your life to be blessed, God's arms are wide open....

"It's night before it's afternoon.
 December is here before it's June."



Crystals had fluttered to the ground
And settled gently all around,
White as moistened quilt of feather
Upon the pale evening's heather...
Bare now after November’s hand
Stripped the fields while tints disband, 
Endowing the trees with light finesse
And silver stars of gracefulness.

I will handle this fervor so right 
till sunlit glances wake our day,
and when the moon has tamed its flight
new dawn's wind releases its sway
beholding  our future vows mid-air;
this love from heaven drifts with flair
endowing  pleasure to declare,
as we light up in a moonlit ray.
This brightest tomorrow, I'll face
for deep care is never selfish
when zest of life the years embrace;
forever is ours to relish!
