Offer
Offer a donative
Offer your prayers
Look into the steaming water and know she cares

Gaze
Gaze at the golden image
Gaze at the beautiful face
Close your eyes and feel her in the holy place...

Holy place above stars 
Heals all wounds and all scars 
Happy winds gently blow 
Hearts do love with full glow 
Hopefuls dwell joyfully 
Heroes live peacefully
Heaven is harmony

Unmissed by these who, garden-bound
Come to honour Spring
What's attuned to, solemnizing
Coronation's hour
Any queen's holy place, throughout
Hovers musically.
Though Flora's, this. Whose bird and bee
Mixed choir's sweet clamour....

A place where man dare not tread;
A place where HOLYNESS is...
Unloose thy sandals and take them off;
Come follow barefoot, come to Jesus;
Let HIM embrace...
A place to go , this HOLY PLACE

The old women
As a white candle
In a holy place, 
So is the beauty
As an angel aged face.

As the radiance 
Of the winter sun,
So is a woman 
With her travail done.

Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still 
As the waters 
Under a ruined mill....

Cleared of all voices
This forested space.
Left with one's thoughts, and the peace
Of a holy place.

Each, a plume weighing.
And lightened, doubly
Through what, for the living God
Who's heart, solace grants
Is felt, blows and flows, enchants.
Not inappreciably!...

Holy place to embrace
Happiness around us
Heights of rapture to boast
Having great memories
However fights arise ,
hassles happen sometimes,still
Home is always the best



Celebrating First year in our new home...It's been a year since we moved into our new home......

But his death, 
Jesus
Opened a new life,
A life-giving way 
For all through ascertain curtain
Into the holiest place, 
a sacred space. 
Jesus-
 in the Holy Place
 Jesus is the sacred space.

Adrenaline rush,
two rose petals brush;
divine love’s wonder ~ 
soundless bliss thunder.

Yearning’s upward rise,
beholds in surprise,
downward arc of grace
in heart’s holy place.

Magical display 
of the divine play ~
throbbing magnetism 
within body prism.

My little fingers,
are now within you,
my presence lingers,
in all that you do.

Up and down,
and in and out,
and all around,
without a doubt.

My fingers now,
are on your face,
my holy presence,
in your holy place.

I move, you shake,
I twist the screw,
I give, you take,
I breathe in you....

At church we thank God for his saving grace,
And honor that is His Holy place.
We don’t realize He sees and hears all,
Not just when we have a close call.

Praise God morning, noon, and night,
During your troubles, when things aren’t right.
He is always there to ease your fears,
Your praise to him is music to His ears....

Breathless Sun
Say thy name
Restless eyes
Shed your tears
Say no more
Thy will be done
This holy place
This mighty blade
Shall pierce this earth
This golden shield
Reflect this light
The hands of God
Shall guide this steel
This God is real
When we walk in faith
Breathless sun
Say no more
Victory has wings in flight...

say thy name
restless eyes
shed your tears
then say no more
thy will be done
this holy place
this mighty blade
shall pierce this earth
this golden shield
reflect this light
the hands of God
shall guide this steel
this God is real
as we walk in faith
oh breathless sun
say no more
victory has
found her wings
oh breathless sun
to heal again...

The floor scrubbed raw but still they reflect
Stains from my own mess of stupidity and regret

A contaminant leper for all to see
This holy place I should be forsaken to be

My tainted soul shown through the cracking mirrors
I do not deserve even one of your tears

This corpse is rotting from the inside out
Cries of forgiveness from my mouth so desperately shout...

Trumpet sounds
penniless dignity
black and white
pavement heart
impoverished souls...

Downtrodden  parade
shameful faces
some look away
others wish you
a blessed day...

Help me Father
ease my hunger
a celebration
of family and friend
thank you Lord...

The soup kitchen
holy place
God help the hungry
who wake up
with the sun
until the day comes
when they can't......

Chance did not cause this bird to land
so boldly in this holy place. 
No, he was led there by God’s hand,
a well planned picture of true grace
for those interred in this small space.

Even most casual passerby
will slow his pace and feel a thrill
or wipe a tear from out his eye,
amazed by noble bird so still,
intent on mission to fulfill.

Heaven will be worth it all
With all its jewels rare.
All the toils and cares of this life
Will be unknown up there.

Gates of pearl and streets of gold
Adorn that Holy Place.
God’s own Son will be the light,
And sorrow will be erased.

Nothing unclean can enter there.
Only those who are free from sin.
Oh, what joy awaits me there,
When into His rest I have entered in....

I
can make 
a delightful thought
appear upon the liquid crystalline
dispaly. I can make a woman cry and
I can make an enemy bloody; I can make 
a place. I can make a holy place in the dirt, a
place rimmed with autumn's cornshucks and cold failures.
And in this meager courtyard, upon this altar I will plant a tree,
a remnant of what good there was. May it furnish us fruit for eternity....

A prayer tree for birds 
where they gather to pray
For there wings they earned
For hunting skills they learned
Their newborn babies warm in their nests
The ability to fly from North to West
To fly through rain up above the clouds
A remarkable feeling that serves them proud
Their daily prayers they sing so loud
So blessed is this prayer tree where they feel so safe
A perfect haven for a holy place...

Another Kind of Temple

Imagine a temple’s arches
To be the boughs of ancient trees;
This is a holy place as sure
As those man-made curves could be.
Here in my back yard cathedral,
I rest in flower  glass windows and stone,
Though its dappled beauty is quiet,
And I am here alone.
Here to dream of Your works
And these You “wonderfully made”
Whether in hot sun they be,
Or morning’s early shade.

When I have slipped beyond
the surly bonds of Earth,
And put on Immortality,
exuberant joy, I will put on like a robe,
When the blessed Saviour I shall see.

Unspeakable joy, peace, and love
will be seen on every face.
Oh, the happy reunions that will abound
In this lovely, Holy place!

Jesus the author of our salvation
and creator of all mankind,
will receive me into a more abundant life
than any on Earth I could find....

 Morning
 My Muse
 Floral gym shoes 
 Terry aqua sleeveless dress
 Eggs frying on my stove
 Whole wheat toast, aroma utterly entrancing
 Brazilian Bossa Nova notes filling all rooms
 Floral tablecloth embracing sparkling utensils, glasses  dishes, cups
 Smiling, red petunias rest on the shiny, tall microwave
 Saying grace, hands folded in the kitchenette, her holy place

K-eep a straight face, 
A-lthough you want to laugh; 
S-tay looking serious, 
S-how the pious effort, not half. 
A-lways keep a straight face, 
N-ever turn a blind eye; 
D-on't turn a deaf ear, 
R-efrain from an 
A-libi. 

U-nder sacred occasion, 
R-emain sober or earnest; 
M-aintain the solemnity, 
I-n spite of some jest. 
N-ever make joke or prank 
I-nside the holy place; 
T-hirtieth of warm July, 
A-im to keep a straight face....

I want to keep you 
In the holy place of my heart
As like people do work ship of god
I want to convert you in great art
May be my work change whole picture
My unknown dream go well-known
Pin drop silence of my heart
Get the echo of tuning birds
Truth is hidden in you
Just need to trace
With my strong vision
I started my fight
I view your appear 
With the view of sunrise
My believe in love
Do definite change
Beauty of your face
Can change earth map...
