With physical body, formed out of dust by supreme might
I'm alive; yet I confess personal frailty, needing Creator’s assistance
Thankful am I for His hand, ready to reach-out, never from a distance
To help me offer kindness while courageously treading under His light.
Admitting fear of seemingly bleak future
My faith hope leans on the Saviour’s assurance of bliss
Being the good Shepherd Who leads toward peace-abyss
Against cravings offered by vain carnality and feral human nature.
Blest with stature as God’s creation of divine worth
My soul trusts the Almighty along His sovereignty
Believing Him as the Source of eternal life’s bounty
Thus, I rely on His grace midst my obvious dearth.
Now, with courage* to win over lust of selfish will
I trust my Maker to direct steps for loving deed
While praying for functionality over philosophical creed
Since ready am I, His vessel for spiritual mandate to fulfill.
*Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

No matter which way you throw a pyramid it will stand upright
ahead has
is rocky many
whatever bases
way you facing
You could opt to go whenever, to wherever you please.

Wave after wave after wave of affection,
caressing
water
fall misty whispers
come tenderly cascading
The tropic mountain air passes by
the cool seaside
with terrapin flair ... that breezy, slow pace stride
Gently the crescent moon
ebb and flows the tide
Removing her twilight veil,
I see the peace sign of the snow geese in flight,
as I feel the other half of my heart
flutter with quiet ease ~ Softly with silhouette thoughts of desire
It’s so skin good to know
how warm the westerly wind blow
In the turtledove hour of the swan glow night,
between the starlit sighs,
I serenely hear a three syllable echo
Cascading wave after wave after wave,
the pulse beautiful sound
from elevated kissed lips gently rolls
Recurring bosom vibrations
keep oscillating
three-part harmony, so hug tone mellow
From the billowy moon dreams above,
to the pillow sleep slopes below,
I lullaby hear the three syllable echo
Time after time over time,
I’m forever enchanted by that joyous wind chime
Whithersoever it wedding bell goes,
I will surely vow follow
These Mt. Carmel ears can always hear
that three syllable echo

Be strong in the Almighty Father against pride’s demand
Stay conscious in forsaking haughtiness and its selfishness-brand
Let God hide you with His meekness’ hand
Since He’s already humbled you along salvation’s stand.
Be strong* in the Almighty Creator against worldliness
Stay committed in giving up destructive earthly business
Let God grip you with His virtue’s holiness
Since He’s already imputed unto you separation’s righteousness.
Be strong in the Almighty Lord against disobedience-emergence
Stay converted in turning from rebelliousness-insurgence
Let God move you with His might’s resurgence
Since He’s already empowered you toward submission’s diligence.
*Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Standing here inside your heart,
I feel soft vibrations of a harp
Melodious as a gentle tropical breeze
Your thoughts sing of love
in a most heavenly octave
I listen with utmost desire,
as this passion inside of me
rises higher and higher
to the pitch of your voice
What a spectacular view from within,
perched on the edge of your dreams
Enchanting visions of intimate mind melding
Me wrapped inside of you,
with your love encircling me
Wherever I look, you can also see ...
Whithersoever you go, there go I also
It’s such a perfect view,
here from within your heart
I shall forever treasure this bonding invitation;
for granting me a space to stay,
with as much room to roam inside
as I desire
Given as much freedom to pursue
the precious grail
To the innermost place
where sparks your sacred fire

Whencesoever it comes, thence whithersoever it goes
This never-ending road, Oh, why no one seems to care or know?
So, I pitch my camp by the road-side and quietly repose!
