Short Grand Scheme Of Things Poems

There was a Butterfly
Who didn’t know how brief life was.
So every moment he lived was a lifetime
And every lifetime an Eternity...

upon reflection
in the grand scheme of things
so little matters

We're merely quests on this planet
lest we forget ~
Our life is but a wink
in the wake of eternity

Unity is illusionary,
A dystopia of thoughts and dreams
What is life but a fleeting thing in the grand scheme of things?
Freedom so precious and heavily bought 
cannot compare to one loving thought....

Summer
draws its last breath
and surrenders power.
Autumn takes it's place, seasons change.
Mother nature reigns supreme; time passes.
Immortality is a dream.
Just as seasons change, death
comes to us all
Summer...

Listen to poem:

you’ve been around
the world and back
conquered skies 
and sailed the seven seas

should you set your mind to it
I know nothing would stop you
from reaching out to me
wherever you or I may be

GRACE is neither earned nor deserved

IN the grand scheme of things, all need grace

FAVOR is very similar to grace

TECHNICALLY, God's grace is generalized,
                      and His favor is specialized

SALVATION through Christ is indeed a gift

NEW AGE DYNAMICS 7


New ways for new ideas
Emerging and emergent
Upon these lovely shores
Everywhere with abundance
Where the question is
The answer in a cocoon
In-sync with possibility
And no one is left behind
In the grand scheme of things

You try to control me and I don't know how to resist, you make me feel small so I have no way to exist. I am but miniscule in this world we live, my life worth nothing in the grand scheme of things. All this hatred and all this fear so pointless and unnecessary but lasting for years. Tell me now what do I do? How do I escape? Is there a way to make my way back? Will I ever be free or am I trapped?...

As your beauty commands my attention I ponder my place in the grand scheme of things.

Were it not for my weakness she might lose her vanity which masks itself in a lovers promise of tomorrow.

As she walks by she uses her hypnotic curves to set abound a course to which I must act in accordance with her will.

She turned him into a junkie overnight. Pheromones being his narcotic to which there are no 12 steps to healing....

A bird is a wonder
    flying in the air
    hopping on the ground
    or warbling a song
  Pure entertainment all day long

  A bird is a curiosity
    cocking his head this way and that
    sucking a worm from the ground
    so juicy, so fat
  An aerial and arboreal acrobat

  A bird is a parent too
    in the grand scheme of things
    building a nest for babies
    until they take wing
Gently nurturing, fiercely protecting...

Listen to poem:

fresh autumn crispness 
fills my lungs in early morn
as thoughts of you
swirl in my head
vagrant stray musings
weigh heavy on my heart

we’re not the youths
we used to be
back when no strings
meant no consequences

yet at the same time
so very little matters
in the grand scheme of things
except in matters of the heart
