The year comes to enjoy newly
The cheerful night passes cranky
We resolute good
But life forges truth
Thirty first makes the first carefree

Chrysalis endlessly dreams

A butterfly to become

To fly high and free, one day

Cocoon chain forges

Fearless agile sprinter,
Forges ferociously,
Fights on unrelenting,
Feline wild carnivore,
Faces its prey boldly,
Forestalls attack quickly,
Forward it advances.

Moderation...

is the hammer with which 

justice, meticulously, forges 

the character of the wise

on the anvil of virtue!

Kettle of destiny
Kite that pervades the sky
King of nature’s highway
Kills the lesser lamp's light
Kiln that forges the seen
Kindles the dying glow
Kind and unkind to us

Our character,

Is the mighty sword that destiny forges   

For

To slay the dragons of fear that prevent us

From

Realizing our dreams and aspirations!

Found within
the human heart
love is
on all accounts
indescribable;
defying
words and
synonyms,
it is
what forges
and reshapes
all aspects of your
heart, your soul, and your life;
for
love is magical. ...

The uncertainty with 'I see love'
forges to the dreaming of
another time, another place
enlightening a pure grace
engaging in a warm embrace
security a soft sound bass
slowing beats of heart from chase
creating never ending space....

Believe and achieve

will  iron wrought
                              
                                bent on abandon to bliss

                                        forges a cage

It’s not always a silver lining sought
when the spirit of self is broken…
Much better for self 
is that gold refined touch
sent forth from the forges of heaven…
Ever humbled and grateful 
for the purity of His Love

Journey through Life  ©

happiness, the fire
forges our steel to withstand
pain and thorny times

laughter melts metal
cold bath sets the steel mettle
fine blade to cut life

blade wrapped in fine silk
until the next battle comes
pain and blood drip down...

Pure Christianity forges ahead..'
Amidst these days of dread
Changless, by day; hour years!
Immutable truth ever near.'
Smashing chains and fear
Though the season is drear
It never falters, it holds so dear'
A kernel; that ever seeds; Love
Gifting to humans born from above.!

Release me o adventurer
Wild spirit that forges life into the world
Release me o captor
O mundane cruel world

Your savage spirit lies waiting, stirring, screaming
Release me
I am the wild one
I am the risk taker
The adventurer
It is untamed land I seek
In a world too tame and bleak...

Wrapped in clothes of holy writ,
Evil wears a sacred guise,
Shielded by its faithful flock,
Fooled by decades of comforting lies

Outside its hidden cloister it parades,
The naked ego cloaked in robes of white,
While deep within the dark it forges chains,
To trap the hearts and minds of happy slaves....

Necessity 

is the anvil upon which 

destiny forges one's character 


by using 


the hammer of life's afflictions 

according to divinity's 

Will!

Florid gold funds greed's frivolity

                Sedated mandate of sodden monotiny 

           Forever renewing fields ripen with magnitude

Seeing through the red filter
the sun reflecting on his
iris....
Viewing details through a 
magnifying glass...
A microscope..
A jeweler forges his metal
Sets his stone.
Paying attention to detail
he etches every little hair,
every little speck.
Observing nature's moods,
shifts,changes,he records+
draws in his journal his 
discoveries for this new
Season....
