A blaze of years, into the kernel of 20 minutes, in front of a crowd praying to see
You made a monument to your past, not to our future
One chose to entertain, another to introduce, a third to baptize in blood
Waiting for the day my petals bud
To discern a nightlight from a fireball
And coo back what I see

The summer has its mission at hand.
A commitment to change lives.
Sitting there smoking and thinking.
With a light that makes up the sunset.
The warmth given with no strings tied.
Yet will run short come the winter snow.
But the blues can't last against the shine.
The noon day sun begins to have power.
And in the sky a shimmering rainbow.
That neon bracelet of the heavenly rays.
Some choose the path of reaching stars.
Yet stardom is found in the inner reaches.
Where you are known for the golden aura.
And the energy that makes you feel so alive!

The symposia on health
Will be on the weekend
Join us and bring a friend
Your body is your wealth
Addresses healthy food
Boiled water as example
Less fat, carbs than the apple
And no need to be chewed
With free t-shirt and ham
And some other offers
Please spread it to the others
Rest assured it's not a sham

Welcome to our symposium on wellness
Showcasing life as God’s gift so precious
For faith-builders and body-weight conscious
Adding more zest to a person’s fitness.
In this conference are seasoned speakers
Who will share their successful health stories
In conquering stress and diet worries
To become grateful blessing-partakers.
Let’s delight in the convention’s fruition
That promotes meaningful life-enjoyment
Along blissful reaching-out engagement
Spreading God’s love* toward jubilation!
*2Corinthians 13:11 ... The God of love and peace shall be with you.

a symposium of feelings
an interchange of emotions
a discussion of differing opinions
a collection of alternate points of view
a form for change
a form for growth
a form for open honest communication
is what once occurred
now the lines of communication
have been severely severed
