317 Words Better Than a Life Hell Bent On Hate

Standing up tall holding my own leaning hard headlong into the wind yes I believe I have heard felt seen it all it seams. 


Been down on the row held my hand up high up on the bush - but yes time tells me to not worry - Lord has been carrying me for some time now.


If I could write you a sonnet I would, but; I haven't the clue of that form. 


Yeah all that I know, is to write in Joy and embrace the wind time and the realities as they are; and come. 


Though broken, I feel it can bring one to be enlightened through time, if a prayer is given for this and the heart to remain open with no strings attached and so yes if this is achieved, the Sun so to say is sure to rise again in the morning, and the World will march on together in Peace and so this Hope will remain, "Love Mercy and Forgiveness  - selflessness - will always be the keys to winning with God and one another - and the time it takes to share a kind word with the one who is down - well brilliant; it will always be a greater life - and in general the days will not be as tough as it is to live in a place Hell bent my friend depending solely on-Hate erroneously alluding to and believing that that alone will make all the difference ... and keep one safe.


"Yeah ha ha, I Laugh!"


Yes and having relied on Hate as a fix all answer all before myself well from bitter experience; I tell you it never did help - yeah and I tell you one more thing friend I know now Hate in all of its selfishness intended and ultimate suffering; it-never will ... . No no it never-will.

Stop All Wars

~ (~) ~ "Who is this speaking what can I say for the bereaved - lost amid the shell of their bitterness and abhorrence?" "Who will reject this speak for their plight rejoice with them, us; lest I am anyone the one but who is for everyone who is any one?" "Which friend from the expressions worn upon the falling leaves, I can tell now time a gift is much shorter than what I often believe." ""Like moths with dark shadows in their eyes children running and playing in their absence with no reflection of time driven by their guilt and heavy hands of shame; who are they now the bereaving?" - "Because I know the cost uneven, of pride - the cost is more and is always cutting, cutting me down - one that is always cutting them - you."" ~ Love lost, the aching desire burning within. Frail, though, will I rise, greater before days, because promised, hope chance, verity my faith these gentle whispers echo the opportunity, and so it is to them I answer, fall before. For this, God, I know would never negate. ~ ""For me... all of us, I believe leaves they are the Purest Example of God's Love Patience and Mercy; shown to us - and as Seasons are always changing along with them; what He gave me, you - which is what the Goodness and Promise of what Any True Opportunity is; is what I feel is one that is just as Honest and Open, just as Willing, needed; wanted for any one, "anyone... !"" ""So sown now in this time left friend I must tell you - I would wish to be anything if found worthy to be the one caught, cut, killed - working for The Greater Idea of Peace - and so as he came to the grand corner, he walks away tossing a leaf behind him the last words from him; being - "Stop all wars" time being what it is; is too short!"

True Love

True Love is unconditional and being a big old grump myself sometimes yes a big old grizzly ... without my coffee its the treasure for me so very hard to come by in this world, today." Like the sweet sound of breaking the natural freedom of rhyme, and the certain reverence stirring in the spirit of a home that lives only for this, one pure reason."


Seen now and viewed in the likeness of the orange and red brown and yellow of a joyous leaf blowing free in the ease of the wind, and knowing the sound of a new hope rising to greet the greener grasses, thriving amid the perfect beauty growing in plain view of the other side of the morning. Stirring in the depths of your heart and the well, of your soul riding high atop the puffy white clouds above, billowing up to greet the light of Heaven.


Yes those temperate and ever wonderful things. Like the birds chirping fondly and the gentle sounds of my toddlers' laughter, and slippery wet little kisses given by the tender lips of an angel. As you hear a violent shouting wake up, wake up and a rap tap tapping, on Heavens bedroom door. As then your awakened again get up step up onto a buzzer toy. Slip stumble to the challenge of not spilling the coffee, and you dance once more with your lovely Daughter in the kitchen. In front of your wife's Mother and hers sweet Grandmothers picture. Hanging humbly on the wall as you tip your Daughter again extending yourself as you always do each morning to straiten it. As you fumble about teetering holding on to your Daughter on the edge of your feet as she smiles at you as you spill it and yell oh no tenderly and you ask the wife if she could grab the morning paper. 


Yes that freaky tone of a squeaky wet balloon, and the ongoing run of happy little giggles rising to new heights in the pool underneath the glory of the Summer Sun. As your young son splashes chlorine water in your face; and cup ... and so is Love the prize in all its authenticity. 


A true and raw emotion, boldly running, and wildly shouting! "Hey!" "Those certain conditions and ultimatums are just fine, but don't you dare take my morning coffee!""

Eager

""Papa" "What about Spring ... ? 



"I don't know Son?"


Killdeer' draw you away from their nest, Bluebirds holler to all about it, hungry Father Fox he knows about it ... .


Kinder yes I think much gentler Spring, when the rejuvenation is just first arriving reminds me of the back and breaststrokes holding your breath while doing a crazy twirl, all the World alive with energy surrounded together in warmth. 


Saw three of them Kamikaze my humble dog one day. Samba just hit the grass rolled over boxed away at them old Bluebirds on his back yelping; I laugh now yup-..."Ha ... !" I mean "Woe!" "Close one for him-I guess!" He was just a pup then ... .


Best way to compare it ... I would think Spring;

"The hands of time are alliterate Spring is but the brunt of this each Season carry's snow capped Mountains Berries in the Valleys Lilies in the Meadow Pine in the Woods Squirrels rummaging in the trees.


Bird dogs are quite capable of pointing this out ... as still this Hope presently exists, yes Spring it truly is I believe its sweet Rejoinder to us for all of our Winter's Supplications, the Harvest of the Wheat in the Fall Spring rains I feel remind us ... .


The Summer Sun always toasting the memory's golden brown ... ." - 

""Pearls

Summers, sweet ... warm those days long; strung out tucked each one right there set just left of the middle; everyday, each; just like the other, Lord carry them before us merely, 

and grant for us always their Peace to remember?"


""Peace the fluency, surety; purity forget the wealth bulky it's only collateral damage; - 


Expected He chuckles yes I know He must I believe sometimes probably more than often yes; the Holder of time.


His patience; vision, faith placed solely mid this simple inclusion; His Grace.""


Sweet Summer days yes willing they all remember.


Timeless moreover following Love joyous delighting within itself can be found dancing away upon the crispness mid the gathering up beading up high upon the early June; Morning Dew.


Winter shades of Pail Grey cast their eyes upon them too.


Overt all cry out as they sing God watching His Grace knowing worthy Autumn always, welcomes in the Rain ... !


Yes oh of virtue Tiny Hatch-lings of Many can be seen, as in unison they all bellow out in their innocence as driven by Their hunger; remaining open weeping high in the Willow Father watches, lying ready ... .


As in their mouth puking it up Mother eager, in Her goodness, offers Them Food ... !

Center of Our Lives

~ Center of Our Lives ~ 310 Words Exactly ~ Stars glimmer, oh the grandeur kneeling up low, steady praying on my left soleus down waiting for a miracle in the bush the past is the past stoned washed oh ... so let us learn from it, remember when the blood bled dry? Here, now the Sun albeit God's Peace welcomes in the breaking of a New Dawn ... ! Dust off your trophies;yes; I feel truly we all, just do not recognize; have forgotten ... ? Stow them away yes far far way life's good withholding- nothing ... ! Offering everything carries every new opportunity responsibility obligation given, whatever sacrifice ... ? Yes pain; but not only, is only but a part of what I find steering me ... ? Oh if it were not for the nurturing Illustrious friend yes who will walk talk with Him, us? No doubt I pray I might Stay, might we all stand join together in this? Because yes all things time and again, and again I find are constantly praising Him. Squirrels bowing in the trees, Day Lilies as they open up; rise as my thoughts now ascend to warm thoughts of God, the way He has always protected me, The Son; His birth life, mission, purpose Death, Absolution for all life yes His Son Jesus The Christ. Oh why not then us give some time today to praise Him, what He did all in and through His Greater Love; perfect obedience shone for all of us ... ? Oh yes who-are we then will become thus of us without-Him being placed right dead center; of our lives ... ? I can choose to measure faith not doubt , living life with a fake smile all the days through my travels, or I let God steer the boat whilst I row. The other ways friend I tell the truth, I have tried and failed; utterly; over; and over so yes friend I simply cannot fathom any; other-way ... ? This work contains 310 words exactly. 1. Addiction I choose Addiction. Recovery Determination Love Pain Support Hope Nature Pets

Quote - String Haiku and Nonet Are All Original Works

................................................................................................... "Even that day will come the boy will become the man; and the man will come into his own along side the Mother; Father, to carry his own, and if need be, the whole Family." .................................................................................................. loud gunshots ring out hunters aim to bag their mark deer season again sensing trouble near mother calls from meadows edge protecting young one spirit of the fawn hearing mothers beckoning scurries into woods answering timely love listens protects itself beyond fears advance .............................................................................................. Dead leafs scatter aloft the breezes. Love is an opportunity. Time shared is never wasted. Open minds willing know. Death follows us all. Hope cries out loud. "Share it all!" "Horde not." "Love!"

Divinity - Part One

"Yes, I tell you as I can still dream every day.. I dream of Christmas."


"Clouds lay back as they rise, and fall puff up and billow all in illustrious efforts to greet the Sun.. and as I lay back I admire them and as I see their rising as they grow fuller in the distance they puff up higher and higher above the willows. As a light breeze picks up the leaves on the trees as they sway together in their dance; and so I lay out my hand catch a tumbling leaf by chance."


"Knowing nothing of Love Grace or Mercy, Peace. The leaf now represents for me my gift, of these greater things I give and so I say my life now all of it.. is all but nothing, or it is a joyous opportunity."


Tender tales tall tell timely in earnest the fervency.. Divinity relevancy, reality of the story." - "Stars shine bright cast their welcome liberally.. ."" - 

"Sheen's of glassy rays of overt light sparkle freely in their delight." - 
"Under the Moon laughter.. fills the night." "Swallows in their innocence.. wade about puff up full and billow.. ." - 

"Shadow's in their whimsy way.. cast their welcoming in the warming." - "As the Weeping Tree weeps tears full as cool pool Shallows of Crystal 
Rock and Alabaster Sands promote their gentle fondness upon the pond floor."" - 

"Kindred the Swallows in their Promise, Beauty Honesty.. in the Moonlight they are one with Love." - "And running Felicitous.. touched by the union follows closely the Dove.. ."" - 

"Divinity has found a home.""
