Indiginous English, Scots and Welsh..Who are homless, or between accomodation
Should not be, left on the proverbial shelf
As long as they have credentials..Or true
Fellow citizens who will stand, to vouchsafe they are genuine, with best intentions for their own land, it will be to the
Credit of a Nation steeped in, the common good, the better ideals; that burned as it
Were the beacon, that the world would
observe. Thats well understood, the
better optic to observe through, to build their strengths, deep within..
I proffer this in reason
That a balance may, be struck..So the weal of
A Nation be again treasured, now do away with insanity's truck.'
In the early morning fuzz, a smoky inhale of life
the lamppost is lit and the trees are just waking up
Five Forty Two Am: the eyes of the sky are grayly
I hold my stave high as I begin my very first poem
Bushes and creeks containing tiny quakes of light
piercing through a silent heaven, I feel alright
Sleeping in the room next door he is unaware
of the awakened altered state that claims me
Down the path of memories I go alone and safe
standing behind a closed window, vouchsafe !
Smoke blankets the city on this Friday morning
I can't touch the fire, I am only its town crier
as I write about the residue of the wildfires,
I can see the peeling back of its slight
and know instinctively,
It is daylight....
O' crescent glow
of perpetual allure,
candescent vigil,
spirit light.
Vouchsafe
a crystal dream,
so I may brave--
this solemn, eerie night.
But if by chance,
at dawn--this ka,
in slumber's
freeze awaits.
With plumage beings
I beseech ascend--
to greet then
God's destined fate.
Queen of Heaven Alleluia
For He Whom did deserve to bear Alleluia
Has risen as He said Alleluia
(Please) pray for us to Eternal God Alleluia
V. Rejoice and be glad O virgin Mother Mary! Alleluia
R. Because our Divine Lord is truly risen Alleluia
Let us pray
O God
Who by the Resurrection
Of your Son
Our Divine Lord Father Christ
Has vouchsafe (Grant, Concede)
To make glad the whole world
Grant
We implore you
That through the intercession of the Virgin Mother Mary
His mother
We may attain Eternal life
Through the same Christ our Divine Lord
Amen

Quote by: Harry J Horsman
Today experts sole objective, to create
a need for their need.
I won't get political, I won't get religious
I won't even get involved in things of epidemic proportion
Its all about Energy and saving
the last bit of Umph from my fraying body;
Inclining y ear I listen to the incline of the wind,
and lose the clanking of the cymbals, what do they know;
Only the eagle's wing can brush against me here,
only the dog whistles can find my ears,
Only the wolves lair, is a safe place to sleep
and only my soul can take charge, of my vouchsafe...
I won't get deliberate, nor will I bully you
as I close my curtains I pray, they aren't deceiving you
One opinion that matters,
its judgment vouchsafe
Where mountains have melted,
new rivers await
The merit for others,
but truth undenied
Beyond feeling and vision
—exists only I
(The New Room: March, 2021)
From morning until night they fight the good fight
working tirelessly to save every life,
Carrying the weight of the world upon their shoulders
they work tirelessly, battling demons on the way
We need to realize, they are human with great heroic strive
doing their best to keep everyone alive
Lets do our part and not complain about the petty things
pray for them and restrain from taking too many risks
life can be long or it can be brisk
from morning until night they struggle,
God keep them safe,
as they trudge on and on, for the sake of our Vouchsafe.
Lion of Judah, Lamb of God, Light of the world
Logos: Lamp to my feet, Light to my path
Liberator from Lying, Laziness, Lust, Licentiousness
Opal and Onyx of Omniscience and Omnipotence
Overcome my Onerous Offences and Omissions
Outpouring Of Offerings and Oath Of Obedience I Owe
Verily the Veil Vanishes with Virgin birth Visitation
Vouchsafe me Vigor, Valor, and Virtue for Victory in the Valley
Voice of Veneration this Vessel Voluntarily Vows
Eucharist an Embodiment of Eden when Enthusiasm Ebbs
Easter Exuberance Encourages and Enlightens: Eternal life!
Emmanuel Exalted to the Ends of the Earth*
Law? Liberty? The LORD's Life Lesson is L-O-V-E

* Isaiah 42:10 Sing a new song to the LORD; sing His praise from the ends of the earth.

The Inn
Many years ago an uncle of mine
told a story what happened at a small hotel
near the sanatorium, the guest had been visiting loved ones.
The evening meal consisted of meat cakes in gravy with
stewed cabbage an boiled potatoes, Norway is not
famed for French cuisine, but they ate well.
In the end, there was only one meat cake left
and the landlady urged the guests to eat all,
no one wanted to so she switched off the light.
For a moment a stunned silence, then a high pitched
scream alarmed she switched on the light
a man sat there with five forks stuck in his hands.
On reflection, the story has a tinge of sadism,
and I cannot vouchsafe if the story is true.
HANDMADE FROM (the genes of) BOYCE AND HARRIET HARRIS
(poetry my atypical mode at introducing myself).
How apropos and divine to stumble (merely by happenstance) across a chance to claim my (virtual) fifteen minute fragments of fame just in the click and nick of time.
Although gainfully unemployed (do to a series of unfortunate events that now finds me receiving social security disability), I can still vividly visualize utter despair and vouchsafe to acquire the requisite trappings emblematic of psychic misfortune.
Indelible, permanent and unfading abysmal damaging domestic dynamics got etched deep upon the memory of this erstwhile individual! The general gist in the form of quick brush strokes (namely written) of psychologically traumatizing recollection now follows.
I can attest to malevolent mean-spirited objections by my father (and late mother) in regard to my grossly unacceptable attire, deportment and work ethic.
Stephanus Marcus Book I
Canto 2
Verses 6 and 7
This hunting party time prepared that day
was preface introducing coup de main.
At Saint's new grandiose brick manor stay
Prince James would spiel his machinations plain.
At eventide when day's harsh light doth wane,
commitment made must be in place for mind.
The usurpation scheme, all free of pain,
begins when Richard leaves his throne behind.
Then wanting brave crusader knights himself to bind.
Duke Morley knew of James' intent to rule,
but wanted marriage date remain in place.
If nothing came of claim to throne at yule,
both reign and marriage saved as by His grace.
King Richard vessel leaves for pilgrim base,
to Ashkelon the sail would lead him safe.
There see and speak with Phlip face to face;
against much wait his eager soul would chafe.
But Ashkelon in winter no man might vouchsafe.
I am the high priestess
Second only to the magician
I sit between the white and black pillars
Bringing them into unison
I am the channel of communication
Through me all things are memorized
I know my cells each and all
Using them all for my guise.
I sit upon the white cube
This is the Physical plane
To follow me you must not
Allow moods to control your main..
If you cannot see the light
I have the moon at my head
The crescent at my feet
Together we can seek what lies ahead
The curtain behind me leads to deeper things
To knowledge beyond all knowledge
The fruit of the pomegranate adorn its cloth
Hiding the library of information it’s alleged
So to some I am cold, unpredictable, scary
To others too scared to come close vouchsafe
But I am the incubator of the child
Not of flesh but of ‘idea ‘kept stable and safe
I am the High Priestess!!!
