she says as we hand-in-hand
walk and the dancing
shadows of old trees filtered
from summer sun meet us there.

ON SECOND THOUGHT:   
GLORY TO GOD ON THIS DAY 

What a weary day,
All seemed to have gone astray;
Yet we’ve survived all:-
Glory be to God for His
Navigations through this day:-

What a profound day,
Directions asked and given;
Journey completed:
All challenges overcomed
By divine wisdom’s guidance:-

Never doubt, you two:
You and God in love’s oneness,
And its bound onement:-
Praise such onderful glory: 
Daily journeying with God.
 
Thus, give God glory;
For this, and every day,
Perpendicular:-
For all are gifted blessed days:
Laboring blessed days of love:-

TO BEING INNUMEROUS SHARERS  

It has been written,
“The harvest is plentiful…”
But reapers are few:-
Be aware of God’s sown seeds—
And among His great reapers:-

Sown love seeds will sprout;
Germinating Godly fruits:-
Be in their reaping:
Numbered eaters and drinkers—
Well nourished and energized:-

Be ever mindful,
God’s garden is always full;
Many reapers sought:
His spiritual guidance,
Is in need of your sharing:-

twilight is falling
on the river of Desire
I’m dreaming in vain…
young love never comes to me
by a silent lonely lane

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:-

Premium MemberSpike Down Up -

Drip of melting wings,
love echo cuts low pulse wide,
spill of garnet inks 
wisdom fallen from sky eyes,
love low leads to a heart's highs...

Premium MemberFATHER TO ELDER SON: ONCE MORE AGAIN

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:-

sleep... sweet soul of sun in f a l l hues, lost with ghost heart ~ as leaf of love frails... and I paint pandora's s t a r s in summer that never came...

Premium MemberBreakfast Bliss

orange pekoe tea,
crispy soft pieces of toast,
bowl of strawberries...
and your gentle, loving smile...
the thoughtfulness in your eyes

Premium MemberLIFE IS ABOUT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW: BE AWARE

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:

Premium MemberPONDERING THOUGHTS ON GOD'S WORDS WAITING TO BE LIVED

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:-
