Let all the music stop.
Silence all the joyful noises.
Meditate upon His word
As the singers lift their voices.

Dancers hold your movements.
Musicians cease your playing.
Let us sing God's praise together
And think of what we are saying....

“When humanity’s division becomes one and the same God of Love
only then will the house of humanity thrive in harmonious balance…

night is spent
dawn hesitates
selah

between heart beats
silent cesura
holy hush

belief
amid doubt
stands still

a moment
twinkling spark
of recognition

infinitesimal
but
undeniable

Until the end

this world
this world is absurd

A mountain shining in morning glow
Fire looks down from below
It took a strong heart
To bind these thrills

White and sincere
Gleaning off of your joy
The past in rewind
You broke time for me

My enemies, black and red
Took off for good
Such sweet fire
And there was no longer night there

My 'wife', 'husband', sister and brother. 
That principle is a recipe 
That works only in the woods 
Of hollywood, nollywood... and Wood, wood. 
It can't buy you a bicycle 
In your life-cycle to the Holyland 
Where we use the Holybook. 
Hollywood or Holyword? 
Why clinging to wood? 
When you can hinge on the WORD. Selah....

Something over the horizon
It just keeps me going
He stands beside me in my unbelief and my beliefs
He watches over me in my sleep
Before I awaken dreams intact
Look around me you got my back
As I stand tall, in from of this wall
I've heeded my Savior beck and call
Yes! something over the horizon
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
Selah

a Testament of Yonder Embracing I'm Devoted to Your Essence- -


Allow me to caress the solemn of your breath
May I shallow the spirit of your heart
Can I embrace your aroma
Kiss your essence
Touch your hollow
Allow me thine devotion
Focusing not on our emotions
Selah

To argue a point illogical of Precept’s grace...
`Tis argument distinguish of beastly concepts

For the expanse is from Precept advance...
From space a face is given of faith’s grace 

Illogical to set ones pace illogical of grace...
For the face is space without precept of grace
                                                                   Selah

Bleating 
Whisps,
Chattering 
Papyruses,
See as they 
wave their 
Happy 
hands 
to you and 
the wind,
Swerving 
in 
consortium 
to my Jazz 
and Waltz,
Aha! 
waltzing it 
by the 
rushes.. 
Their 
Brushes,
Are they 
Belles or 
Gents,
Are these 
ones Fellas 
or Brutes,
The good 
guy or 
your comic 
villian,
To Egypt, 
Paper and 
This Salient 
Page.

consider bees
bees with stingers,
humming, swarms of bees
resound their presence
inviting hysteria

among the bees
are butterflies
who play out their lives
absorbed in silence
performing musical bliss
moving from task to task
without making a sound
inspiring peace

bees and butterflies
both get the song sung
but butterflies are
the rest notes
on my garden staff

His bones has rested there,
He's no longer here;
in an instant faster than a second,
His truest "self" ascended
  in the twinkling of an eye faster than a second
     he was with the Father, ABBA took His breath back
ALL Almighty Elohim-Father GOD Selah

A Maskil by Anil
Themes that span every emotion
Schemes and plans of enemies
No rhyme but every reason
To thank Creator God for victories

Lord Thy Love bathed us for generations
Lord Thou, ever faithful, so merciful
Lord, without Thee, hate and humiliations
Would be our cup. Worship God Eternal
(Selah! A musical term, or pause)
We praise Him dawn & dusk, First Cause...

From my Love’s mind I have read
teaching me to dread…
my death as little as my bed…
the true Precept bled…
that human concepts be fed.

Only of human mind is human dread…
surviving is my holy curiosity instead.
From my love’s mind I have read…
“Oh death where is thy sting”
doth not disturb holy sleep upon precept bed…
                                                                       Selah!

Amist the broken pieces
 I stand whole shattered and torn 
While in my emotions I stand whole 
My sins have fully laden separate my spirit's soul 
Physically I'm confounded mixed emotions 
Scattered so I've repented been replenished blossomed and grown 
Cause now I have Jesus my Savior and He's never letting me go
Selah/Hallelujah

Living a life in the fall
providing one has gall
proof of no worth at all
handwritten on the wall
proves one is short is all

Precept thus doeth abide
concepts slip and slid
lies thus are hard to hide
precept is eagle’s glide
corpses in dust we hide

Serpents thus do slither 
deeds on slime thither
as storm clouds gather
egos blame each other
deceits of stormy weather…
                                         Selah

Endless is God's breath
 Everlasting  His gift of life
Infinite are His years
Eternal He so cares
Boundless are his dares
Limitless receives our prayers 
Bottomless pit from hell
Unbroken hearts grace saves
 Endless is His forgiveness, endless are His days, Hallelujah! - Selah
