A pall of darkness overshadows my existence 
     I am a mummy wrapped in worthless thoughts
             sinking in the devil's quicksand of hell.

Amazingly blue, conspiring dreams extrude fascinations. 
Grand slam hyacinths ignite joyous karma, lighting molds. 
Nature overshadows pulsating quickies, redefined,
Satisfied, triggers unique visions 
Woven XL

dance two-step then back
three-steps, mockingbirds in love....
shadow overhead
fear overshadows my heart
old age, a widow alone

ROSE COLOURED NIGHT
COVERS ME
BATHED IN SILENCE
SOMETHING
CALLS TO ME
THE DARKNESS
BRINGS ME BACK
OVERSHADOWS
ALL
MY BONES
THEY ACHE
FOR YOU
THIS NIGHT
ECHOES THE PAST
I SEE THOUGH YOU
YOU AWAKEN ME
YOU LIVE IN MY HEART....

Hidden by "the cloud, 
now obscure, now luminous"
it overshadows, transfigures, 
--Light numinous--

"From the beginning 
until 'the fullness of time'"
the Word and Spirit's mission 
are hidden, sublime

All that's designed, with that hunger's need
Sharpest grasps to hide, lurk in
Overshadows, for mountain, rock, tree
Frail, inoffensive meek me!

Imagine! I do. And tremble not.
True child; and a free spirit.
Danger for wonder, exchanged. At
Needless care's expense. Take that!...

I should like to come to that place of rest
Where a sweet peace overshadows all poverty,
The mindset has become always doing my best
Where the freed mind allows me pure liberty,
Where my overriding, compelling drive is sincerity.

The beauty from within overshadows 
my brokenness 
A voice of hope spoke unto my hopelessness 
one hopeless rainy night, as my tears 
merged with the raindrops
See, I had to take that walk
The soothing of the rain eased my pain, as
comfort fell upon me in the midst of
my prayer...

Kindling
Cradle by wind
Morph into flames 
Crescending melody
unites both spirit and soul
Refining

Seasoned                                
Embers simmer 
Tempered cooling
Immutably alive
though silence overshadows
Quiescent

so it is the freedom to speak,
the freedom to love, the freedom to see,
to share one's heart in all respects,
reaching out our hearts reflect,
voicing love in all manners arise,
love overshadows the fear from our eyes,
allowing God to move in us from one to another,
placing all of us together to love and learn from each other....

The darkness overshadows me.
I desperately look for light, but all is in vain.
Which awful sin deserves such punishment?
I plead for forgiveness, but no light.
In despair I weep, with no understanding of this darkness.
Why no forgiveness for me?
In the distance I see a flicker of light.
Awe the sweet sight of forgiveness....

Darkness overshadows the light.
Light outshines the darkness.
Darkness appears without light.
Light appears without darkness.
There is no Heaven.
Without Hell.
There is no Hell.
Without Heaven.
There are no Angels.
Without Demons.
There are no Demons.
Without Angels.
Everything needs everything.
Nothing needs nothing....

Sweetheart be mine
My love for you strong 
Invisible valentine 
Live in my song 

Shoot me with arrows
Aimed straight for my heart 
Your troubadour's here 
And will not depart

As long as you want him
He'll wait for the day
When he can on one knee
Finally say

"I love you, now kiss me
My bluebird, my prize"
As bliss overshadows
The tears in his eyes...

I'm not much or little,
I'm glad to be alive,
I'm not opposed to mistakes,
I don't expose myself to ridicule,
nothing sets me up for free
nor does he impose any hidden rules on me...
I defend worthy causes
not from false stories...
  I am cautious  but not afraid,
I'm thoughtful brave...
no one shadows me
that is not my own...
I fully myself and
only I overshadows me...!...

It does not hide its face from anyone,
Though we may be haloed with endless fun,
It’s recalcitrant to shedding its ton,
It stealthily takes and cloaks a loved one,
None can stay its hand despite all it’s done,
On life's journey, it will surely outrun,
Midnight overshadows in the long run,
We all surrender to it one by one, 
“Midnight is a time for dreams”, is a pun.

I want you
the spark of your eyes
overshadows the neon lights

I seek you
everything that you are
the center of your being

I adore you
I need you
I love you

Where I am now
the wind kills
tongue turns small together

I want you
a constant gallop of hunger
mounted by need

My shadow is blurring
the evening fire going out
I'm losing myself too

I want you
until you are here
I smell flowers with no aroma......

Genesis observes the scrap
Proto-EvangeLium

God opposes sinners
Painfully exposing law

God's oracles surprise
Prophets envisage the Lamb

God ordains a Substitute
Purchasing Eternal Life

Grace opens Sola Fide
Prisoners embrace liberty

God orchestrates salvation
People experience loyal-love
 
Glory overshadows suffering
Praise exalts the Lamb

God owns satisfaction
Purposefully exceeding life...

Positivity breeds it graceful wings
Disseminating compassion, to all the lowly things.
'Tis as lustrous as the mellowing sun
delivering exuberance to everyone.
Yet there are shadows, lurking 'hind the good
A true bizarre, A malevolent hood.
But optimism overshadows the Agelasts
It ostracizes the demon, nurturing the outcasts
And so do I bleat, embrace Optimism's virtue
Promulgate saguinity to folks you come through....

deep into ponderance,
not to be confused by predicaments,
pleading and plodding to bring pleasing
where once there was teasing,
the composure overshadows the effort,
so the struggle looks like ease,
onward and onward,
sometimes upward always outward,
ego shrinking the more I grow,
learning and teaching,
wisdom constantly seeking,
fully knowing there is more to know,
chop wood, carry water,
drink wisdom, share hope.
be love....

Yesterday is only a fleeting reminder of what cannot be changed-
  --A source of strength for today, and a reason to move forward for better;
       not to borrow from past sorrows

Today can only be lived to the "good" to ensure for a happy, prosperous future-
   --A chance to be of service to God, others and then oneself-

Which will guide each of us toward a  Tomorrow that outshines and 
overshadows all misfortunes in every walk of life....

Tears of dismay in 
A shroud that slowly withers
Absence overshadows while 
Her life shatters. Love 
Was stolen, a heart broken
As pursed lips sadly quiver

An infinitude 
Of sorrow, death has stolen
Whilst the holy earth has claimed 
A light refection 
That believed and inspired, now 
An infinity of light
