SPROUTING LIFE
Growth is challenging…
Germinating life struggles…
Sprouting life has its pain…
God always has pain’s healing…
In faith, live a sprouting life…
A LIFE AND DEATH PERSPECTIVE
Living and dying,
Should not be deemed as surreal;
They are both so real:-
The crucifixion was real;
Likewise, was the ascension:-
Living and dying;
Physical realities,
Canvassing the soul:-
The soul sowing the spirit:
Is not Christ still here with us?
Never fret dying,
And being retired from life;
Spiritual pension waits:-
With washed feet of love’s labors,
Live and die in God’s glory:-
IN AND OF MISSING BELOVED FRIENDS
Need no more troubles,
Stop following Satan’s way;
Be in that of God’s:-
Don’t you miss God’s peace and love?
They didn’t leave you; you left them:-
IN FORGIVENESS AWARENESS
Wow! I slipped and fell!
A wrong decision was made:-
Sad tears flowed for days.
Agony tormented me:
Dear God forgave my mistake.
WHEN IN AND OF UNWARENESS
Rushed, peace slipped and fell;
Love knelt and pulled peace back up:-
God is always there:
Fall down in unawareness,
Seek, knock, and ask God for help:-
FATHER TO ELDER SON: ONCE MORE AGAIN
I am your father;
Let me not be a bother,
Nor your enemy:
Please come and visit with me;
My time here will soon not be:-
The compass of God,
Has never led one astray;
Satan’s does—each day:-
Be in God’s navigation;
And love’s resurrection:-
Have mercy on me,
And forgive me for my sins
Against God and thee:-
Love you more than you can know;
Forgive me before I go:-
Forgiveness of me
Is not about forgetting;
It’s about mercy:
For the pain you’ve given me,
God knows, I’ve forgiven thee.
I’ll die loving you,
I have lived life loving you:
God guiding me on:-
And as death takes me further,
Pray tell, greets from your brother:-
LIFE IS ABOUT TODAY , NOT TOMORROW: BE AWARE
Each day has its trials.
Today, shouldn’t be different;
Just give it to God:-
All days are given by God;
And He will guide you through them:
There’s crucifixion;
There’s also resurrection;
And there’s ascension:
All canvassing days given:-
In living each day,
In God’s healing grace,
Give Him the praises:
Parallel in peace and love,
Perpendicular in life:-
Each day we are given,
Just seek God’s navigation:
Jesus will guide you:-
A tomorrow may not come;
End each day in thanksgiving:
DAWNED AND PERPENDICULAR
Another day dawned:
Sun and I, paralleled and
and perpendicular:-
To others who are likewise,
Let us give God the praises:-
PONDERING THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORDS
WAITING TO BE LIVED
Is it not gospel,
That we are all of one race?!
Yet, there’s racism!
It’s one thing to know the truth;
It’s another to live it:-
God still speaks to us;
But we still do not listen:
To busy hating:-
Belief is one thing;
Practicing it, another:-
We need to live love!
Mercy, mercy, mercy Lord,
Still navigate us:
Sowing and reaping fruitful
Lives of onderful onement:-
A LEAFY ALLEGORICAL MESSAGE
What a great season!
Leaves shall soon be leaving me,
Naked and challenged:-
But I will not be ashamed:
Canvassing life's endurance:-
Our allegory,
Teaches profound barked lessons
Of life's survival:
Despite cold tribulations,
Releaving warm leaves will come:-
THOSE ETERNAL CLOUDS
Clouds are never dry—
When their water breaks,
It’s the birth of rain:
Godly tears aren’t cotton balls;
They are wet nourishing births:-
Aborting Satan,
Often seeks miscarriages
Of God’s birthing tears—
But after such storming tries,
Bright clouds polka dot the sky:-
Clouds aren’t cotton balls.
They are wet bales of God’s love—
And the pregnant sky:
Try imagining a sky,
That’s not pregnant with God’s clouds:-
OF DIVINE WILL AND TESTIMONY: Apropos Of Me And My Queen
We’re moving onward,
84 and 82
Praise God for time together;
Nourishing one another:-
In our love’s oneness,
We have lived in its onement;
Bound onederfully:
Glory to togetherness;
Living our God’s unity:-
Though life is waning,
To God, we’re not complaining;
Our love still waxing:
Ready for who may go first—
Going together—we thirst:-
Happy as can be,
My beautiful Queen and me:
Living supremely:
Praise God for deliverance,
Divine wisdom, and guidance:-
in her humble home
a mirror reminds her life
does not tarry long
once she was beautifully
young now old and aged wiser
regret does not stay
as she wanders a new path
she will not find peace
amongst winter wildflowers~
at last crossing the threshold
the ruby palace
is cloaked by starry cosmos
found by those who dream
winter is home now
my mind the place I wander
ruby red regret
embarrassing memories
glaring back from the mirror
TODAY’S POLITICAL BIRTH CONTROL
They aborted love,
Defertilizing justice:
Birthing injustice:-
Oppression pregnant again:
Democracy miscarried:-
