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
Liberty
propelled by love
leads heart to choose
truth and right midst faith’s might
surmounting doubts, vanquishing fears
conquering selfishness of pride’s dominion
toward joy, worth sharing not kept to be cherished alone.
Love-led liberty
devoid of selfishness
while caring for others
drives ransomed soul
to reach-out along mercy and grace
braced through the Lord's hand of goodness
making possible faith-performance, against vain freedom show.
* 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.

French cuisine for some see it crude.
Eating snails appear horribly lewd,
but well known in France,
its folk took a stance,
as the French cannot stand fast food.
I’m too crazy to be lazy
Or is it to lazy to be crazy?
Something I shall ponder
But for now, I will just wonder
With the thought of why
When I see the lady next to me
Wearing her mask alone in her car
With thoughts of COVID not being far
Submit and obey the fear
There’s a new lovely variant near
Even more deadly than the last
Makes the old Covid look lame
So, stand fast
We got more “dark days” ahead
Here take your vaccine and go to back to bed
We’re cooking up more fear for you to dread
This intense distraction is simply designed
To illicit a reaction
And keep us a fraction
Of what we used to be
Strong, United and most of all… Free
“Never let a crisis go to waste” was once said
A fitting epitaph for the masses of braindead
Eagerly awaiting more gloom and doom
While they cower in a “Covid safe” room
Sucking up the news of submit and obey
Guess what? You get to live another day
Because your safe and do what we say
LOL
Eric (and sometimes not)
No other call, could bring in more love,
Through a baby’s crying tears, than a mother.
No other call, could erase with ease,
A child’s first manifesting fears.
No other call, could give confidence,
To the growing young, as a righteous mother,
For she is a special breed, endowed by God, to fill all needs.
She loves the call she’s been given.
Mothers are given special wisdom in love.
It comes to them, in lieu of who they really are.
Daughters, who are the balance of God’s nurturing glory,
Fulfilling His eternal works of art.
No other call could be so great,
As to give life for another.
And yet, the closest I know of,
Is the sacred call of mother.
They stand fast and strong,
Against the cowardly wrong.
Living what they know brings,
Love and peace, to divine beings.
When the stakes are high,
And the road so long,
They hold on faithful,
Until the family’s wolf is gone.
I give credit, love and gratitude,
To my mother, who’s lived her life like Christ.
She did as was asked of her,
And is still our shining pillar.
Living out our lives in this world
takes many turns and corners by far
a need there is to be your own man
to stand fast showing what you are
I personally seek to stand on truth
the truth of God's inerrant authoritative word
allowing it to soak into my whole being
sending error away to fly like a bird
Living as I do in this godless world
that has no time for God and His way
spreading what everyone thinks is right
nobody's wrong they say as light is day
But God looks for faithful honest men
to hold forth His truth never to stand down
no matter the consequences that come
I stand fast for God when the world will frown
So I seek to hold God's truth
fully as high as the birds that fly
then no matter what this world says
I'll believe in God fully till the day I die
