bearing down on its fiery mantle,

making diamonds harder, stronger:

The struggles of our own times

--- the Spiritual struggle, the economic one ---

summoning the power of the Spirit,

purifying the soul....

I lie in the carpet of sand
Trespassed by many a man
Skin hazed film of white
Sun bleached daily natures' rite
I wish for the seas cleansing pass
A ritual of natures' purifying glass
And I feel the draw of the sea 
What a wondrous feel to be free...

Giving me this place I live
Take away my fears
Look upon my soul
Purifying it white
Lead me not to be tempted

Upon my death set my soul free
And place my bones deep
I will travel to the heavens I see
Releasing me from this time
Setting me free...

Your brown eyes penetrate my skin
like healing sea mineral mud,
blanketing wide and deep within,
enough to purify my blood.

Pouring as an endorphic blush,
rising just like a sauna's heat,
within this purifying flush,
I'm given a renewed heartbeat.

Midnight
is the celestial healing time
where built up stress will disappear
as if it were evaporated water
as seraphim bend moonlight,
shining its rays down upon sleeping denizens
through their windows, purifying their burdens
so every entity is strong enough
to get through the day...

Fresh virgin leaves
Green as the dewy grass
Hiding a golden miracle
As it meets warm water
Soothing to the core
As it uncurls and spreads
A ray of morning light
In every sip
A little sweet
And then a bit bitter
Caressing dry lips and throat
Purifying the soul within
The miracle of green tea

each soul in as identity
be it manifest as form or not
as long as it behaves as an ego
feeling incomplete nurtures desires
thus presupposes separation from God
which is delusion borne of ignorance 
representing the human condition 
spoken of as our fall from grace
redeemed by purifying heart...

body
             mortal, physique
    trembling, aching, perspiring
flesh, clothed, harmony, individual
      living, purifying, searching
            spiritual, immortal
                      soul

Fire falling from the sky.
Hitting earth.
Burning earth.
Blackening earth.

In a way purifying earth.
Purifying the wrongs.
Purifying the sins.
Purifying the hate.

Forgiving all that has occurred in the past.
All the senseless deaths.
All the useless violence.
All the things that have been done....

Chasing stars
Aligned with brilliance


Forging hearts
In stormy signatures

Rain falls as reverence 
Wetting the face of forgiveness
Extinguishing the fire of this soul’s madness
That drifts into the midnight hour
Where darkness searches for light

My blood flows red and alive
Awaiting

lost inside the purifying fire
looking to escape its grasp
trapped inside the corrupted pyre
struggle for the final gasp

fire, bringer of destruction
all consuming, never dying
ever pure is its seduction
indifferent to joy or crying

fire, bringer of the life,
of the light, of the strife
undying part of our suspensions
neither good nor evil in its intentions...

Gray blade of moon, fall blaze of oak
Flame for diamonds, purifying smoke
Change of season, leaves flicker burnt
Lessons saught-- taught, cruelly learnt
Melted heart and flesh depart away
He trickles like dust of earthen clay
A touch, a clutch, so much to flow
The wind remains; I must let go
Worn, I mourn a form outdated
All that remains is cremated

The Lord Jesus Christ invited us through it
The warriors came upon to say
Our prayers on this very day
Refleshing rest within Heaven's waterfalls
Receive the gift God left for all
Coldness of the water
Was inviting upon another
Streaming down the rocks
The mountain purifying each and every drop
Our Lord commends
Born again
Grace upon grace
Splashed upon our faces...

Nature of visions ,voices of expression
from the frieze of life a purifying fire
of confession.In an ode of contentment
a blended passage,an intense yearning
where last things,last.

A ll have anticipated rainy days
P purifying
R rejuvenating
I inch by inch all living things
L let us give thanks
S sing praises to the Most High
H heavenly Creator of all things
O n earth, in our universe.
W e need not know or see all things
E each already have his or her work cut out
R rest assure there's silent reward
S search the scriptures, and see Solomon's soliloquy.

How often in my life have I witnessed 
the vibrant colors of a sunset
and been moved to tears for
having to release that purifying moment
to the enigmas of darkness.

Only to retreat, ponder and sigh.
Will not tomorrow's dawn awaken
from that same 
obscure mystery?

I will dream and await the dawn!


                         At Sunset

    sunsets....

The storm brought in
not a time of destruction
but a time of 
placing our hope in Him 
our only shelter of salvation
A time of purifying our hearts 
of things that breaks His heart
to sculpt us into
the masterpiece of His Son 
A time of elevation
into new levels of glory with Him
and a time of letting Him
bless us with eternal riches
He has laid up for us 
over on the other side of this life...
