G-reat place in turbulent times
E-difies your true faith; 
N-o hurricane can crush the path toward heaven's gate.

S-trong fortress in turbulent times
A-ims to bring comfort; 
L-et your hope stay alive, 
C-ome into the Lord's support.
E-arly ninth of September, 
D-efeat the gunk and grimes; 
O-bliterate the wicked ways, be firm in turbulent times....

Start here
Live happy cheer
As profound thoughts ease fear
The cosmic soul that ever steers
Heart clear


End times
Breeze cosmic chimes
As divine beauty rhymes
Wise universe where stillness mimes
Dust grimes


Words ease
Humour and tease
Deep knowing feeling peace
To bring healing to final lease
That please

BECAUSE

I love you, not because…
I love you, but because…
I love you-even if you don’t- love me back…
I love you, not because...
I love you, because it’s right…
Even when it’s wrong…
I love you, because I was told too…
I love you, because it’s free…
I love you, not because…
I love you, because of…
I love you, now...later… after…
I love you, because I am me...

An anagram of Drew Barrymore
‘Merry Wardrobe’ of this I am sure
But with fortune and fame
Some kids get a daft name
‘Grimes’ baby may get issues galore
 
X AE A-Xii is his name
It reminds me of a PC game
The poor little mite
Is in the spotlight
His parents can’t have any shame

Grimes and Elon Musk’s baby is called ‘X AE A-Xii’ - pronounced
 X Ash A Twelve.

A-trocious ailment applies
R-abid blue instead of pink; 
N-otorious nastiness employs
E-pidemic contact and
L-ink.

A-trocious ailment advances
G-erms, grimes, virus, and dirt; 
O-nerous outbreak operates
R-ight here on planet earth.
I-nvisible infection implements
L-ethal threat to attack patient; 
L-ockdown and quarantine
A-bate the atrocious ailment.

Watching death daily, is like watching for the black messy tar/

 to come off your car/ not knowing/ you are driving on it/

the tears in your eyes /pours out/ like a bucket of well water/

your heart/ is racing like / like the horses in the Kentucky Derby/

the souls/  are like muddy water/ 


where is the hope/ can I cope/

watching death/ daily/ and I didn't /see this/ one coming/

A-t risk is the whole world, 
N-ations are exposed to harm; 
G-lobal crisis creates collapse, 
E-mploying economic alarm.
L-ife is horribly put at risk, 
I-ndividuals are in danger; 
C-ontagious jeopardy's dirt
A-pplies the dreaded destroyer.

P-oisonous pandemic's grimes
A-re in remote control and disc; 
C-omputer accesories are not spared, 
E-very state is put at
R-isk.
