Reflecting...at the end of December 2009 I was homeless. However, in March of 2010 God intervened and provided me a safe roof over my head where I have resided for almost 15 years! He is a good and faithful God, who has never left me alone and I will never cease to give Him Glory, amen.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
H earing God above the chant of scoffers and being
O pen to manisfestations of true joy...I find that His
M ercy and grace 'neon lights'...negate the obvious
E xpected feelings of 'self pity'...thus this revelation
L eaves me with the 'treasure' of a renewed...deep
E stablished trust...that is profoundly and adamantly
S ubstantiated with increased love for a dependable
S ure Savior and a belief in the 'impossible' for 2010
Romans 5:3-5

Serenely blissful while vanquishing apathy
a loving heart, divinely regenerated by faith
keeps abounding* in altruistic opulence
gratefully triumphant in worshiping the Lord.
*Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Brexit Sonnet No. 34
‘Reckless Love’
O my sweet, my dearest Valentine,
I loved you with a passion hard not soft.
So unprepared was I to make you mine,
Foolish, I stumbled, not counting our passion’s cost.
I loved your edges, etched hard in glorious red,
I loved your laugh as snowflakes fell around,
I loved control, my dearest purest bred,
I loved our dreams writ large on bus I found.
Our love, it did protest ‘gainst ‘stablished rule,
Our ardour, defied the expert’s curséd eye.
But no more will I play that stupid fool,
As life we build on Brexit’s toxic lie.
So love me no more, release your jealous grasp,
I craveth not the reckless love you ask.

Breathtaking - Mohonk Mountain House
Breathtaking is this resort set in wilderness,
Resplendent in the hills of the Shawangunk Ridge,
Established long ago in eighteen sixty-nine,
And visited by people from around the world.
This castle, Mohonk Mountain House, magnificent
Hotel with gardens and blue crystal lake ringed by
Tall cliffs of rock with their reflective mirror views,
And winding trails that lead to scenic mountain top.
Kindling with love of outdoor beauty is the glow
Indoors...warm aura of Victorian motif
No other place more beautiful exists than this
Grand National Historic Landmark in New York.

Permanent steps to a height reached by a very few
Reputation highly recognized is the end point
Irreversible standards working hand in hand with personal convictions
Not everyone with friends and family inclusive may approve
Identity is formed which sits on the sofa of respect
Purely executed without a second thought- no going back
Laws of nature as well abide by them to stay distinguished, and can be
Established through discipline’s tutorials
So that life and character stay different and unique

Proper conduct at its best when under check
Returning to originality when freedom is let loose
Experienced to show inactivity while in action or
Traditionally doing while in the real sense not doing
Even the sun isn’t powerful enough to detect foul play
Not until a misstep sets the fake yard ablaze
So engulfed in the presence of the concerned to
Established a false sense of responsibility and honour.

L~egion of angels is a poetic colony of termites.
E~stablished out of a given root of love.
G~reat in vision,great in mission,great in art.
I~ndeed,they appear like ancient Greek writer's knights,
O~rganized in communion,humble as dove.
N~o member stands aback in another's heart.
O~f all cities they've conquered at eastern Anglomore,
F~lairly enough,they continue conquesting more.
A~ngels are watering cans of blessing,
N~atty means of God's messages,
G~littery gold of priceless cost,
E~mmaculate stands their dressing.
L~egion,this colony,for all ages,
S~tand to replace all angels dost.

I was my father's son, tender,
And in the sight of my mother,
Only beloved, for my brother
Became ill on the seventh day;
After Nathan spoke and left, he lay
As consequence in surrender
To death for the king's unmastered
Lust and murder of a just man.
Despising God, though partisan,
He made His foes show utter scorn;
Adultery conceived his first born.
The child's considered the bastard.
So, the king comforted his wife
In her mourning til there was none.
I was brought forth the second son,
Solomon, of both peace and rest.
The prophet returned; I was blest;
Thus, loved by the Lord in life
And named of Him Jedidiah.
As son to Father I was known.
He stablished forever my throne,
Though my brother made himself king
With fifty chariots full swing;
His courts declared, "Adonijah!"
But to Gihon by mule I went
With the horn of oil anointed;
Trumpets sounded as appointed.
My people shouted greater sounds,
Even so much that they shook the grounds
Following me from the sacred tent.
