They feast upon us night and day
Praise God be kind

And blow those blood-suckers away!...

You’re not an abstract ideation,
So listen to this supplication:

The supplication goes unheard…
The Christian nation’s bombs increase,
And soon the dove’s a dead white bird....

  Your supplication is rendered an amputee

If ever I leap off the bridge to end it all

          As if in supplication

Elm once clad in gold

   Has shed its colorful cloak

       Awaits winter storms

         Bare limbs lifted heavenward

            As if in supplication.

Tear me down and rip me up
throw the carpets out
all my wires and plugs disrupt
scrAPE AND clean the grout
  wrecking ball ,imploding
brains
drano down in all the drains
bleach my soul of all the stains
cleanse my heart of doubt....

Phantoms eerie, 
burned and blackened
arms upraised in supplication
bent and broken, beckoning.
Driftwood garbed they testify
in shrouded mist, in foggy sky 
Woodland graveyard, petrified
Silent screams 
assault the senses
“Who says fire cleanses”...

Poetry in its essence, 
—renders itself obsolete

Transporting the reader, 
  beyond words though profound

Casting off its burden
  of expressive supplication

Pure thought and pure feeling,
—symbiotic abound

Gods of nature speak though their art
Wings steadily raised in supplication
The spirit world and man not far apart

You pour through my soul
Absinthian elixir
My Mother Gaia.

Sunsets of Ruby,
Elysian fields, golden;
Amethyst mountains.

I taste Bing cherry
Concord Grape fermentation
Tangerine orange.

I drink heartily
I pray for supplication
Needing sustenance.

The offering of prayer and supplication to
Most holy and well known saints
Who beyond mortal life, still touch
The lives of those who believe
And seek a miracle of sorts
In desperate situations 
Plead for divine intervention
As candles blessed, lit in 
Reverence of God’s holy presence...

J-ust open up your heart, 
O-n the twenty-first of June; 
Y-ou will feel God's love, blessing, grace, and boon.

B-e thankful to the Lord, 
R-egardless of the situation; 
I-n the midst of hardship, 
O-ffer prayers and supplication.

E-ach worry will depart; 
S-incerely implore the Father, just open up your heart....

Have more than you show,
humility is not humiliation...
Speak less than you know,
simplicity is not suppression.

Pray more and panic less,
Supplication brings stability...
Worship more and worry less,
Adoration banishes adversity...

Faint not in flood or flame,
The Father is our firm fortress...
Bow not to bruises or blame,
Sail through storms and stress......

D-ivine inspiration from God 
I-s the gift of Holy Spirit; 
N-ever ignore the Lord's dissuasion, 
G-et your soulapt and fit. 

A-nother divine inspiration 
B-rings brightness to the dark; 
R-elaying the message that life 
I-s not a walk in the park. 
G-o to the house of worship, make a humble supplication; 
O-n January thirty-first, ask God for divine inspiration....
