Short Owhere Poems

A probing desire comes over me
L istening to the sounds of the galaxy
I’ m seeing the world as a dream
E nslaved by an unknown dem.on
N owhere to run to, nowhere to hide

S paceship guide to my wildest ride
E scape plans fade away in a gaze
X empowers my will beyond the haze...

L-et your life always win
O-ver the deep darkest hour; 
R-emain composed if lost
E-ven in the midst of 
N-owhere.

J-ust let your heart glow, 
O-ctober twenth-sixth day; 
Y-es, allowing your mind to forget the blue and gray.

R-efrain from giving up, 
E-xpect the new tomorrow; 
Y-ou shall stay steadfast
E-ven in the midst of
S-orrow....

R-ose to fame out of nowhere, 
O-n the twenty-seventh of April; 
L-onely days were over, 
E-xcept the thousand thrill.
Z-one of pure delight was filled with a million mirth; 
A-mount of joy was large on the day of your birth.

A-fter the stormy night, 
L-ight had warmed the weather; 
A-nd you became popular, 
O-r rose to fame out of
N-owhere....

S o very long ago
I love the story told
L ovely night was bestowed
E nd of the great road
N owhere to sleep for the night
T own was full tonight

N ow the two went to a barn
I nsanely beautiful the sight
G reat baby born to us
H alleluiah to the newborn King
T omorrow made brighter due to Him

L-ord God never sleeps, 
Y-es, He watches from the skies; 
N-o one can ever hide from the Almighty's eyes. 

M-aker never sleeps, 
A-nytime, day or night; 
C-omforting the oppressed, 
A-ssuring their delight. 
T-he Father never sleeps, 
A-iming to punish the cruel people; 
N-owhere to run from Him, 
G-od gives fair justice to all. 
A-llow the fourteenth of June to bring the promise it keeps; 
Y-earning to thank the Lord, for God never sleeps....

C-an you feel the fresh morn
A-fter the cold night chill? 
T-wenty-eighth dawn of the first month, 
H-appy birthday brings a thrill.
E-arly haze has passed by, 
R-ain and clouds have faded; 
I-nto the shadows of the dark
N-ightfall has just
E-nded.

C-an you see the dewdrop
E-arly in the morning? 
N-owhere in sight is the mist, 
T-wilight drifts into the evening.
E-ndless lines can be written, 
N-o limitation or bounds; 
O-verflowing like a river where running water abounds....

C-hrist born in Bethlehem
H-as purchased the one fold; 
R-edeeming the chosen servants, 
I-t's the true faith they hold.
S-avior born in Bethlehem
T-aught the will of the Father; 
I-n twenty-third September, 
A-lmighty's day draws 
N-earer.

B-ehold Christ born in Bethlehem
E-difies the flock of sheep; 
L-ord God has sent Him, 
L-etting them rejoice, not weep.
E-very country on earth is made by the Lord in heaven; 
N-owhere else though but in Israel, Christ was born in Bethlehem....
