APATHY filled my days and waking nights,
ENCOMPASSED by the PREDILECTION of the moment to moment fights.
That CONSTERNATION that filled my heart and soul was heavy, not light.
The late evening phone call that helped me regain my sight.
"Don't do it, Butch!", was the CONDEMNATION she spoke with its hard bight.
The UNEARTHLINESS that must have led her to feel my pain and fright.
So here I am, alive still, with a REVERENCE that remains because of her
distant yet loving insight.
Her love was amazing—it encompassed all;
Unconditional—never filled with condemnation,
Despite my predilection toward unmitigated gall,
And unrelenting juvenile reverence for flirtation.
The years did lapse, all consternation lost;
All apathy, on my part, long since tossed,
Replaced by unearthliness, for life’s remaining duration.

With a REVERENCE for nature I read the scientist's words of warning
and when I put down the paper, I felt a new CONSTERNATION
while my children ENCOMPASSED the breakfast table that early Sunday morning.
As I sat there looking at them, I was filled with CONDEMNATION
as I thought of all those who ignored this PREDILECTION I feared,
and their APATHY as my children’s world disappeared
with the UNEARTHLINESS of death and eradication

Encompassed by the beauty of the night
I hold no consternation for the dark
as moon holds the predilections of light
I lose all apathy towards his mark
Accompanied by stars, in reverence I stand
beneath the unearthliness of his gentle hand
I hear no condemnation from His lark.

I've a predilection for remote mountain chalets
yet isolated I can be encompassed by snow.
I recognize the unearthliness of Winter's ways
maintaining a reverence for Nature's portfolio.
But apathy runs rampant among the rescue team
where I trigger condemnation should storms get extreme
and to my consternation, they may refuse to show.

All encompassed was my fear
Such consternation knew me well
A predeliction forced a tear
As apathy tolled alarm bell
With reverence I heard that chime
Unearthliness the peels rhyme
As condemnation fell
Apathy can ease in unnoticed over time
as the world evolves in poorly reverenced predilections
by encompassed unearthliness of the unseen and divine
while in the shadows, hidden consternation holds restrictions
all humanity submerged beneath the loss of the wonder of creation
to find only hate and inner self condemnation
but love is slowly rising to restore hope and godly benediction.

A heavy fog encompassed all the amber pines
Her predilection and consternation heightened
Poet now attuned to unusual sounds and signs
The scene's ghostly and unearthliness so frightened
Somehow that apathy she had experienced for days
Floated away and turned into songs of highest praise
Condemnation gone, reverence for scene enlightened

Using the meaning of predilection here of fear...
SPIRITUAL LOVE
There is now no condemnation,
We are encompassed by His love,
No need for dire consternation,
Hold Him in reverence above,
His unearthliness, my reason,
For apathy, there's no season,
It's predilection for His dove.

As a child, my mom would feel condemnation.
If not that, then apathy from her mom instead.
Though this often gave her consternation,
it was by reverence for unearthliness that she was led.
With a predilection for tuning into God,
she found her path, and by the Scriptures she’s been awed.
Encompassed by her faith, by the Spirit she is fed.

Innocence
The consternation can be easily seen on the tiny face
As the grip on him gets tighter ,encompassed by a stranger
Apathy generously shadowed unearthliness
of the innocent soul with an unexpected embrace
Condemnation of the choked voice burst as angry silent tears in acute danger
Until his sobbing stares fixed in reverence of a conversing robot
The gentleman with long flowing white beard had brought
Chuckled the boy of five,his predilection for toys well understood by his distant maternal grandfather

A mystical UNEARTHLINESS of beauty..
She ENCOMPASSED a shell of hidden kernel.
Hot ice burned in lukewarm APATHY...
In REVERENCE ..was a jumbled love triangle.
There was compassion in CONDEMNATION...
There was CONSTERNATION in confession....
PREDILECTIONS tortured three minds in entangle.

His crime encompassed hate and consternation
So her vengeance screamed for all BUT apathy
And should reprisal bring her condemnation
Then she was fine, embracing what would be
A reverence deep within was all that mattered
Not how his predilection found her battered
Unearthliness, untouched ... had kept her free.
The Winding Road
She walked a winding road, encompassed by dark trees,
at first, with apathy and deep thoughts far away;
but soon stopped short with consternation as the breeze
whispered unearthliness in such unnatural sway.
Two paths appeared...her predilection was to veer,
with reverence, towards the right, which made it clear...
God's grace spared condemnation of her life that day.
