Kingdom’s way
Sunrises to Sunsets
Living enterprises
Decisions in making realizes
Blessing for sure
Praising not to ignore
Living survival
Journeying through experiences
All preparations
Days into tomorrow’s
Night full dreams
Maneuvering through darkened portals
Heaven’s delightful tours
A place the Lord prepared as a promise
A room one day
Peaceful and calm
Joyful and praying flow
Fact and no lies
Story enhanced from glory
Lead me on Father
Walking on the grounds of assurance
Heaven’s influence
Understanding what my Grand Mother said along
By one day after
Now I know
Here I am to say
One day will be Heaven’s gateway.
Eyes unlock the heart
Sorrow births words, bittersweet
Poetic fodder

Sparks of humanity
get a look-see
occasionally
Obama and Trump
engaged in repartee
a smile, a grin, a tee-hee
POTUS’ acting like you and me
I see a rotting occlude on the drywall in my attic at the peak of the ceiling beyond the walls veil for outside of it I came as a worm in a large world at the very core of a rotting apple only being who I am to be cast out as an abomination hoped to be dead but I want to heal everything escape this dreadful red.
Dots have been connecting lately
Picking up on a common theme
Everyone pursuing a similar goal
We are all just looking to be seen
Wrapped in a web of old wounds
Warping our view of present day
Ultimately want to be understood
For who we are despite what others say
I'm shivering, naked, I'm amidst bodies on a cart
All I remember is looking up awaiting the water
Entangled I am seeing grimaced pinked faces
And a solumn looking sky very close to tears
Now discarded, left, sensing a sweet acrid smell
Knowing the await, soon the others and I
Time passes as I drift in and out of reality
Then night falls, as I awaken to quieting sobs
Accents I hear, that I'd only ever heard in movies
Aghast gasps of witnessed horrors befall my ears
Crisp morning airs adorn my emaciated frame
Slowly my eyes open to a cacophony of cries
Gently I feel my skeletal existance being carried
Choked voices console as I blearily scan
A silent emptiness abounds, even chimney stacks
No more I see these ills, these evils, they!
As I cross over the bridge
It lives it lives
Waters flowing splashing
Going
It gives it gives
The moon up above
Moves the waves
To and fro
From the shores
I stand on the bridge
And I gaze up upon the skies
And I see the stars and the Moon reflexes it's light on me

What if I loved you and you said yes
What if I hold you and you said what
What if I gave you a holy kiss
What if I were to be a witness
This relationship heaveness
Yes what kiss witness heaveness

~In kind two young boys watched
They spy on the corner;
As baulk and walked;
then escorted a wheelchair elder;
Across a busy traffic intersection;
With a smile store clerk to my surprise gave me aisle directions;
Such a sport full of kindness and support soft talk;
A mother in the park; On a mid morn walk;
While in a carriage her baby girl;
With nothing but goodwill on their mind;
So little tender-hearted and pure;
Three persons in kind;
generous, gentleness;
concerning, tenderness, selflessness;
These are just a sample of humanity,
kindnesses I've witnessed in many accompany;
Kindness comes, kindness goes;
But kindness a verb and should always be shown;

I witnessed a miracle today
Though still weary, from my grandpa's passing
You helped light the way
It came, in the form, that brings so much joy
An 8lb, 6oz, precious little boy
I witnessed a miracle today
It helped me realize, that there's life, that lives past the grave
Though you're gone, your soul lives on
I know I'll see you some day
I witnessed a miracle today
I witnessed a miracle today
I finally found one, who was willing, to take me this way
I have my past, I have my sins
Yet she, still let me in
I witnessed a miracle today
I witnessed a miracle today
I felt His presence, when I fell, to my knees and prayed
With open ears He granted peace
Even though I've gone astray
I witnessed a miracle today
I witnessed a miracle today
My eyes opened, with the chance, to start a new day
So give thanks, for the time
Through life and love realize
That you've witnessed a miracle today
Yes miracles abound, and they're all around
Your the miracle you witness today...
As Michael slay the dragon under God's command
Reni and Palumbo outstretched their hands
As that ancient serpent was finally cast away
Young Jacopo the dyer painted all the day
As the seraph vanquished the devil forever
Raphael began his draught board endeavor
Finally the mighty spear had met its principal foe
And the brush met the canvas for Giordano
My eyes now captured
Pertness shaped enticing me
Bloused now aroused
Thumb and finger now linger
Their captivity beckons
.
Can your colours for the year:)
Swirl undulations in; concentric."
Vanilla shaded ridges coalesce...
Swells in the pail; then disappear.
Im-pailed
A circle of steel they put it in."
Yet with a flat ended tool,
pop open that tin..!
Draw out with a'plomb
The liquid white;
to brighten the hall,
on christmas nights;
(Gathering the esscence)
The spirit is of colour clear,
When blackness hovers.
Call him near, applied with the soul
Aligned with Love; paint life
With the gifts from God above.."
Bright blinking colors in glass
Hurt feelings still last
Oh how I dreaded Christmas
Dad’s religion held fast
Sat and watched my class
