C9 On The Run, I come from the Sun
back into the Sum of One, I Become
Dialed In, En Route to the Oort
Out the Loosh Into Greater, Denser, Absolutes
Into the Great Flame, I find the Center Truths
now I'm Questing, got me High on Ankhs and Infinitudes
a Total Resurrection
I Jettison towards Greater Intercessions,
by the 9th Power I Rise in Light
the Great Solar Crucifixion, I now Fly, Ever Of Life
Into Heavens Gates, I Just might Ignite these Plumages of Light
my Birth Right requires I Seek Heights
Seek, Surreal Eagle Flight, I let my Soul Fly
Full Speed in Hawk Sight
I Beam Bright in Laser Precision Flight
Thriving Off the Greater Mind, Fly High Be Thy Light Percussio
I Go, where Energy Flows, in Ever Infinite Flow
Down Inner Luminous Roads
In comes the Super Light Percussion, Light Strikes I've Mastered Thy Soul
Blazing Wyld Forever Forth
Forever North, Light Smites the Night, like a Wyld Horse
Daily, God* grants me fulltime tasks to spend midst pastime bliss
Creating heaven-on-earth moments I will never miss---
Turning chaotic silence caused by doubt-driven trust
Into vibrant faith that smites honest lies along gladness-crust.
Facing attacks of ephemeral forever doom
My heart perseveres against pain of losing wins’ doom
Bouncing back from woes due to living dead stature
Smiting hellish paradise-angst toward green pasture's nurture.
Leaving cheerful pessimist attitude behind
I behold awfully pretty times as greatly designed
Along bittersweet memories with gratitude’s best
…That though sometimes I'm a wise fool, I always feel blest.
*2 Timothy 1:2 Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

O wretched fate, that smites his brow with thunder in the trembling boughs.
The very sun doth pierce his skull; each leaf conspires with whispered woes.
“Alas, poor me,” he cries, “I knew me well”—then swoons upon the grass.
Radiant, indeed blest
triumphant, grateful am I midst life’s rough terrain
doing best…
Jubilant glow
thankful cheer from my heart does reign
smites woe…
God’s light*
vibrant thanks gain
bright…
Radiant, indeed blest
thankful cheer from my heart does reign
bright!
*1 John 1:5 ... God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7 of the King James Bible
Awesome comfort comes from peace, God does grant
With His love that makes my heart jubilant
Assuring vibrant days midst prayer plight
While basking in blessings so abundant.
Peace from the Lord radiates divine light
Gripping my mind with stewardship delight
Dispelling sorrows that persist to reign
Subduing worry of unbelief’s blight.
With the peace of Christ on my walk’s terrain
Spirit is ensured of triumphant gain
Upon His promises I must not doubt
Despite trials that bring distress and pain.
Grateful am I for peace through kindness-route
With smile that smites greed’s woe or selfish pout
As compassion prevails and never fails
To bring hope, freeing soul from anguish-clout.
Serene dawn smiles with vibrant glow
welcoming blest hope that smites woe...
radiance dispels night's gloom
greeting morn dew midst God's warmth
now pervading along peace
as grace* wakes to reign.
*1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."

Don't bite the hand that feeds

Juniper,* you are a blessed tree, endowed by God for all to see
Umbrella you were to Prophet Elijah when from distress he did flee...
Never denying your sheltering role, helping ecosystem to be whole
Indeed fulfilling goal, as haven for birds, even for tired soul...
Performing best, providing habitat for wildlife with protective zest
Evergreen that smites longevity's pest and stands firm midst test
Ready to grant rest under your foliage toward victory's crest.
*1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

Mind breaks out of fright
seeking peace with plight
needing freedom flight
escaping from gloom’s blight
to love's glowing delight...
Soul in despair, day and night
cries for blest caring sprite
against cursed weakening might
midst what’s unfair, not right...
Faith smites doubt's fight
sans heavenly insight
conquers pouting bite
from guilt’s route and cite…
Pride falls from towering height
heart yearns for God, source of light.
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 of the King James Bible; "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Romans 6:1 KJV
God’s grace abounds where guilt does hide
As pardon reigns above sin’s pain
There --- mercy, hope and love reside.
God’s grace abounds where guilt does hide
Since divine forgiveness smites pride
Toward triumph of blissful gain.
God’s grace abounds where guilt does hide
As pardon reigns above sin’s pain.
