A coffin closed and sealed up tight,
A person here now out of sight.
A piece of paper final words,
Of things he said and left unheard.
Memories are haunting these rooms,
Not laid to rest inside his tomb.
We’ll weep, we’ll cry, we’ll try to hide,
But nothing stops the hurt inside.
Your wristwatch ticks, goes on and on,
Even after you're dead and gone.
Life goes on after reapers theft,
Even after your spirits left.
Because that watch will tick and tick,
But surely after we fall sick.
When we all rot and sit there dead,
That watch will rest its weary head.
But no that watch still left behind,
Ticks on and on for fate to find.
The death work clock, no heart no breath,
But will stand fast through life and death.
The watch still has no greater plan,
Then to observe the life of man.
Still as that watch will sing its song,
It can’t help but bring death along.
So please don't fear the ticking clocks,
It is not you but life it mocks.
Get data smart, don't let them start.' Such Intended centers, strike at the real heart' of all

Earth.' We must apply all our recourses.'

And any manner, be firm stand fast and
Into this machinery, lets throw every
Bloody spanner !
Oh, to know the whimsy of one’s heart
To track with line and graph each fit and start
To share its blooming beauty with but one
To watch it sadly weep in setting sun
And rise again in beauty self-renewed
The fervor of its passion now subdued
As noon calls forth the heat of flameless dreams
Its shadows disappear ‘mid loving’s schemes
Oh, heart, oh tarnished sword of loving’s plight
Would thou deny the heart its right to fight
To sally forth beneath its healing scars
To view them as the moon’s companion stars
Stand fast and hurl love’s gauntlet at the dark
For love is not the fire but its spark
If you want to last without lust, fast—
Break the hunger of the flesh by choosing what will last.
When the body shouts loud and the soul feels weak,
Silence the cravings by strengthening the meek.
Lust is a fire that feeds on desire,
It grows on neglect and burns ever higher.
But fasting is water that quenches the flame,
It humbles the heart and reorders the frame.
When the eyes start wandering, longing to roam,
Call your spirit to the altar and bring your heart home.
For battles of purity are not won in the night,
They are forged in the daytime by walking in light.
Fast from the screens that poison the mind,
Fast from the voices that tempt and remind,
Fast from the idols that promise delight,
Then feed on the Word that gives strength to fight.
Fast until hunger bows low to your King,
Fast until your spirit learns how to sing,
Fast until holiness becomes your desire,
And purity burns like a sanctified fire.
For lust is defeated when Christ is embraced,
When flesh is denied and the heart is retraced.
If you want to last without lust, fast—
Choose what is eternal, hold firm, stand fast.

The Lions Mystery-
I live in the moment for tomorrow may not come,
I let you reside in the depths of my heart
long ago covered by plated chain,
As Jupiter eclipses the rising sun I'm blinded by your presence,
I've heard your voice anew, I lift my head and breathe you in,
I'll be close as a crow flies soon to put to rest my crown and crest,
To drop my armor and pray the archer flies high an arrow,
For I live in the moment and am dangers friend,
Fly arrow Fly,
The time you soar I'm bold to roar in calm pursuit to see the hunters quiver,
If it's empty I'll know the threat is gone,
The time for fun was just a shiver,
Nock another and be ready for I crouch slow and steady,
Draw it back... pull me in... the feelings are connected,
Let loose if you choose to lure the lions cling,
For I lie in wait to hear it fly as your fingers slip the string,
I run close so nock one more to touch the lions mystery,
It's in my heart but through my eyes is the only way to see,
Draw it back...pull me in...
I pounce quick grab my mane,
Don't let loose but stand fast as Jupiter slips the Sun,
Two hunters connected eyes locked in war for neithers battle is won.
Amidst the shadows of the night,
Silent warriors clad in black,
On a mission to make things right,
They embark on a noble track.
With steely resolve and sharpened swords,
They move with grace and perfect poise,
Protecting the weak, defending the lords,
Their strength and courage never recoils.
Through the trials of fire and ice,
They stand fast, never giving in,
With hearts of steel and souls of sacrifice,
Their bravery and loyalty a sinewy hymn.
The black knights ride on, unafraid,
Ever ready to face their fate,
With conviction in every blade,
And a resolute will, never abate.
So follow the black knights' lead,
With steadfast purpose and fearless heart,
And you too shall be freed,
To make your own noble mark.
Blest freedom
secured imprisonment in God's will
where I enjoy best liberty*.
*Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

My daughters, I’m so very proud of you.
You have grown to become, fine young women.
Let not your hearts or lives be ruled by men.
Stand fast, and to your own desires be true.
Take what you need, but no more than your due.
Act cautiously, you are noblewomen.
Speak softly for, you are gentlewomen.
Let integrity shine, in all you do.
Know this my daughters, I've always loved you.
Every day, you are in my thoughts, my prayers.
That God grant you wisdom, in all affairs.
May your strength and your courage be renewed.
For every challenge in life you pursue.
How I wish I were there to ease your cares.
And to mend your hearts, from life's little tears.
Remember this, I will always love you.
In the business of God
where He is Chief Almighty LORD
perfect Boss, surpassing all best practices
we are sure of a win-win synergy, verily reigning
while we yield to His wisdom of heavenly paradigm
beyond world class status toward ministerial endeavour
reaching-out the next generation with love and care framework.
Upon biblical mission-vision-goals
along divine proactive operationalization
through the optimum power of the Holy Spirit
our servant-heart, faith-propelled mindset prioritizes
eternal values against temporal analysis-paralysis, so sickening
triumphing over ailing reality check, guarded by angelic task force
to stay serenely joyous, going forward in sharing the Gospel* of salvation.
*Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.

God's hand has created many a soul
finding its shape as He did wish
ask of Him for real understanding
help He'll give by His holy word's daily dish
Have a real hope in God's word
so those that fear God can rejoice
in one's heart knowing of God's rules
truly righteous to give a true voice
In one's affliction, God is faithful
so be comforted by His love divine
for in it one will live in your mercy
delightful is His law make it mine
Beware of those that practice falsehood
make sure of in the law to meditate
so to never be in the path of shame
stand fast so learn not to speculate
(This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the tenth poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1 of the King James Bible.
Divine freedom propels faith to soar high
as soul does inhale peace for service fly
reaching-out with steadfast compassion grasp
against selfishness clutch heart can’t deny.
Pardoned by God from sins of pride hued guilt
my spirit was quickened, life now rebuilt
upon Christ’s gracious hold of gentle clasp
so I won’t glide toward worthlessness’ wilt.
Through the grace of the Lord driving day’s goal
I ascend like vines entwined to Life pole
the Almighty Who blows revival gasp
for triumphant fulfillment of blest role.

There's an arch enemy in our midst
who prowl's about like a roaring lion
seeking whoever he can catch out
from the beginning he's always been lying
This is our battle day and night
fighting this enemy we need God's aid
for the Lord defeated him on the cross
there His sacrifice overcame by what Jesus paid
The devil knows our every weakness
exactly where he can find us out
he showed this in the garden with Eve
so beware of Satan he'll make you doubt
Satan always thinks to attack you
for because you're valuable to God
so he hates God likewise His children
combat him by the power of God's sword
Stand fast against the devil's schemes
speak out the divine word supreme
it's your weapon to fight him off
God's got you swimming in His stream
