                       within our bodies
                   are derived from the

   Life originated in the sea, which still bathes all our cells.

Premium MemberTrust In The Lord - Isaiah 26: 4

So many trust in various things
these are found to be vain
for there's only one sure to trust
in the Lord alone who deals with our stain

This trust is everlasting for sure
it brings assurance to your heart
knowing this, the Lord will be with you
to be your anchor in no small part

The Lord Jehovah is His name
always being at your side
providing strength for every trial
giving grace always to abide

This is the God of very God
creator, sustainer and friend
holds your hand through the storm
and tight through to your end

("Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:")
Isaiah 26: 4 (ESV)

Premium MemberMoses Pointed The Way To Christ

Moses one of the great prophets
showing Christ as an even greater prophet
both sent by God to do His will (Ex 3: 1-12/ John 6: 57)
forever we are in their debt

Both born under remarkable circumstances( Ex 2: 1-16/ John 20: 30)
as well as under threat of death at birth (Ex 1: 15-22/Luke 1: 23-38)
God's hand destined to bless them
preserving them in all the earth

Mediators were they before God and man (Ex 20: 19-22/ 1Tim 2: 5)
reconciliation was their required aim
pointing all to Calvary's cross
where the prize redemption had came

Living foodless for a required time (Ex 34: 28/Matt 4: 2)
proving God to be their real sustainer
then provide food for the people (Ex 16: 2-22/John 6: 5-13)
show their authority to be a no-brainer

Teacher,    Prophet,            Lawgiver    and King
(Deut 4:5)(Deut 18:15-19)( Ex 31: 28)(Deut 33: 5)
(Matt 5:12)(Deut 18: 15, 18)(John 1:17)(Matt 21:5)
just a few titles that they held
Moses to be sure a Prophet supreme
pointed to Christ the greater word did bring

Premium MemberSymphony Of Sunrise

Sun at dawn! A sight so spectacular
I wake up and gaze... surreal, stunning, sensational!
Ultramarine sky, a hue of crimson in the east,
A red dot growing bigger and bigger turning the horizon ruby-red!
Mesmerized me! A gush of lavender emotions run through my veins,
How do I describe this kaleidoscopic vision!

A symphony of chimes soaring from a temple far away,
Peaceful, tranquil, harmonious,
My existence fills with prayers, my body kneels
To the almighty who has blessed us with this sunrise,
The source of life on this earth....
Creator, Sustainer, Destroyer!

Cooing melody of birds serenade me away to a forest of dreams,
I find a purpose igniting my saffron imagination,
It spreads its wings, and rises to the celestial sphere!
A moment of silence, a moment of realization for me…
This world wouldn’t be the same without me,
                    and without you!

Premium MemberBulbs Among Sustainers

Set some goals
Set out bulbs
Bulbs planted in garden
Bulbs planted in beds
Beds filled with blooms
Beds are warm
Warm days bring flowers
Warm beds rest
Rest equals health
Rest for weary
Weary souls faint
Weary hearts mourn
Mourn love lost
Mourn departed
Departed is gloom
Departed is pressure
Pressure creates diamonds
Pressure can explode
Explode from anger
Explode from dynamite
Dynamite dangerous
Dynamite has use
Use has purpose
Use for things
Things for jobs
Things are inventions
Inventions make life easy
Inventions save time
Time passes by
Time is rationed
Rationed are minutes
Rationed are seconds
Seconds make minutes
Seconds compose life
Life is good
Life is granted
Granted are your days
Granted each year
Year makes lifetime
Year make one old
Old people die
Old people get weak
Weak seek God 
Weak need help
Help comes from God 
Help is a sustainer
Sustainers keep going
Sustainers are awesome
Awesome
Going

Highway to heaven

Heaven is my goal
Heaven is my hope
Hope against hope
Hope to die for
For an afterlife
For immortality 
Immortality is deathlessness
Immortality is eternal life
Life free of pain
Life free of suffering
Suffering of the flesh
Suffering of the soul 
Soul gone astray
Soul vast and infinite
Infinite as the heavens
Infinite as human mind
Mind is consciousness 
Mind is omnipotent
Omnipotent as God
Omnipotent as Nature 
Nature that nurtures
Nature that nourishes
Nourishes spiritual life
Nourishes astral world
World of mysteries 
World of miracles 
Miracles of life
Miracles of air and water
Water is the sustainer 
Water is unique in universe
Universe of love and dreams
Universe of hope and peace
Peace is that elusive bird
Peace is that relentless quest
Quest that never fulfills
Quest that never expires
Expires as it begins
Expires and reawakens
Reawakens the goal
Reawakens the hope 
Hope for peace
Hope for love
Love alone can redeem 
Love alone can reclaim
Reclaim the lost hope
Reclaim the lost soul
Soul is a beacon of infinity
Soul is the axiom of immortality
Immortality…
Infinity...

Premium MemberThe Fear Of The Lord - Psalm 111: 10

Live in the knowledge of godly fear
paying heed to all this truly means
bow in humble adoration to your God
he who is great be truly sure you lean

This God is the height of all wisdom
nobody knows anything like this king
for He is our creator and the sustainer
causing us to praise Him as we sing

To fear God is wisdom's beginning
for He brings us true understanding
bringing a deep knowledge to obey
all God's word reveals for our standing

Pray to God for you to know
all His precepts and holy word
hold fast in your memory
the fear of the Lord

 (Psalms 111: 10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth forever.)

Untitled

Sweetener of my tea
Listener to my plea
Keeper of my heart
Saver of my soul
I trust that you will lead me home


Potter of my flesh
Sustainer of this life
Giver of love
Healer of wounds
In you,I put all my hope.

Each time I roll the dice,
May your name ever appear.
Whenever I toss the coin,
May your name ever appear,
For without you,
Life is but an empty shell.

Hindus Are Right, In This, Too

I
Hindus and their admirers often speak of their Trinity: Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver/ Sustainer. And Siva the Creative-Destroyer (in the way death of a seed, or if old family members also intimate). One theory of Cosmic origins similar to the Phoenix rising from ashes was also endorsed by the Vatican around 1920 (a Belgian priest-scientist gave us that theory of a cyclical Universe).

II
The dance of atoms, molecules, particles and waves is anticipated in the Hindu teaching that after several thousands of number of years, the cosmos atrophies, so Siva dances Creation again ( dance if molecules?). The Hindu Scripture focus more on all life and creation is nothing but vibrations. Gold and lead are dancing or it's molecules are dancing different dances, yet dancing vibrations all.

Premium MemberA Tale of Two Cities

In the mind of earth’s creator,
towering, tall, majestic walls,
symbol of celestial city,
established on foundation sure.

On the promise of his maker,
Abram’s faith beheld its beauty.
City with a firm foundation,
made by God’s almighty hand.

After God deluged the nations,
steeped in sin, ripe in rebellion,
Noah’s sons and their descendants,
in their travels found a vast plain.

Come let us erect a city,
made of bricks secured by asphalt.
Spread out in the land of Shinar,
with a tower reaching heaven.

But the Lord seeing their motives,
devised a scheme their plans to thwart.
He swooped down, confused their language,
scattering them east, west, north, south.

Babel’s tower stands symbolic,
of man’s pride and perverse scheming,
in his quest for independence,
from his God and sole sustainer.

Zion city, earthly forebear,
of the city with foundation.
Fashioned as the habitation,
Soon to be my eternal home.

Cover Letter

Adam is my ancestor 
Ibrahim is my forefather
Moses is my  mentor 
Jesus is my  teacher 
Muhammad my beloved preacher 
The seal of prophethood, 
The last messenger. 
Allah is my creator, sustainer and master, 
The giver of life and death, 
Breath and the best of life, 
The most gracious, the most merciful, 
I am a Muslim & Islam is my religion.

Premium MemberTrue Love's Wonders

Blest with true love’s precious wonders
My heart with bliss exclaims praises
Exalting God, love*’s Creator
Source, Author, Sustainer indeed.

Having family so caring
Nourished midst parents’ endearment
Along siblings kind, sweet, gentle…
…I’m gripped with great love’s fulfillment.

Surrounded by valuable friends
Granting support graciously best
Inside fellowship’s warm goodness…
…I’m glowing through love’s radiance.

Recipient of compassion’s worth
Exposed to clemency’s full strength
Beloved who can’t be denied…
…I’m a product of genuine love.

Anchored upon steadfast mercy
Experiencing give and share joys
That signifies true love’s essence…
…I’m moved to live by its power.

Benefiting from Christ's pure love
Engulfed by clemency's freedom
Thanking His eternal life gift...
...I'm His own love-propelled servant.

*Romans 5:5 … The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
