so true, so pretty

LOVE 2 [31]


Do you see
The beauty in the
Flower
Have you felt
Love
Beneath the stars
Do you see the grace
In that child
All arms and legs
At play
Have you
Embraced
A woman’s love
Spurred still on
Even
As she applies
‘easy-off’
To that stained and dirty
Oven
If not
Then you are but a shadow
You have not yet
Seen life
Have not become one
With the Creator
However and whoever
You perceive him/her to be
Beware
Your span is very short
In time
Regulated by the stars
And should you die
While still dead
Then again and again
And yet again
You shall have to walk
This pale
To amend the wrong
In a blind man’s
Sight
When god has smiled
So benevolently.
………………………………………………………………………….

SELF-IMPORTANCE[32]

Beware
Mortal man
Do not forget
Your own
Fallibility
For when
You’ve pressed on
With ‘I’
You’ve let the devil
Ego
Invade
Holy ground
Belittle
God’s very purpose
Upon this earth
Besmirch
The integrity
Of His teaching
So that you and I
May never complete
The mission
That is ours
And come yet again
In frustration
To do
What should have been done
Yesterday.

………………………………………………………………..



VOLUNTEERING[33]

I pray
You take me in hand
Help me
To extend my love
Lend a helping hand
To all who come
My way
I heartily pray
That
I never see the day
When
Self
Will play
A leading role
Overpower
The needs of each one
For as I see
The role I play
There is no self
But God
His love
His way
I pray to remain
His tool
Give me company
On my own way
Home.

…………………………………………………..


TAKE IT IN STRIDE[34

A time of love
On a quest
For life
Seeing a place
For all
Within these bounds
Heaven’s purpose
Blessed
So it is
Good morning
World
Each day of life
Joy and strife
Taken
In stride
A blessing seen
In that
Which is not
But knowing
Without doubt
That
All has its place
Is now
As
It should be
Within the bounds
Of
Holy purpose.

EGO[28]

Ego
Eccentricity of man
Where
Oh where do you lead him
When once he is opened
To the fact
That he is just a tool
For karma and God
Yes, by man against man
The
Last vestige
Of animal life
When
‘I’ was the center
Of all
To carry
A primitive man
Upward to the spheres
To the higher echelon
Of the fated
Human being
Fated
To join the angels
Or doomed to
Extinction
Erased from memory
Ego
You are doomed to die
As die you must
If man is to survive
Keep
Good teaching
Alive.

DRIFTWOOD[29]
[in memory of Jim, and others I have known]


Where did the boy go
In that drunkard over there
The one who looks so lost
So forelorn
What demons
Plague
Control
This lost soul
Where
Are his protectors
Why do I see him
A piece of driftwood
On the beach
In the shallows
Karma
Be done with this soul
Let him regain
The path
Let his conscience
Intuition
Get back in sync
To finish
What he must have started
So long ago.

……………………………………………..


VISION OF A CHILD[30]


Oh, if only adults had
The vision
Of a child
Intuition
Unblemished
By
The scars of time
The beautiful child
Conscience of innocence
Ever clean
With right and wrong
So
Crystal clear
Like
Day and night
No shades of gray
To confuse the way
The sweetness of life
Full
To overflowing
Able
To see
Through an adult’s
Shams
The grace
To go along.

…………………………………………………

KNOWING[25]


Mind
Must always relate
To something
That is known
So listen well
Heed this word
When at last
You know it all
Open wide
Your inner eye
Yes
Then begin again
For never
Ever
Upon this earth
Will
Any ‘one’
Know all
But must relate their knowledge
To others
On this plane
Yes, drowning ego
In wisdom’s well
One may begin
To know
And blend and mix and swell
Pure knowledge
Blessings to us all
Until at last
With hell erased
Ego
Just a memory
The land of God
New Jerusalem
Will at last
Be found
As mankind
And his restless spirit
Will at last
Be God’s grateful guest.

………………………………………………….

FREEDOM
IS GIVING[26]

I see failures piled high
Frustrations tears
Saturate the ground
Yet, still I smile
For life’s lessons
Must be taught
Even in this turmoil
We still can give
Yes
Lend a helping hand
By word and deed
Give solid footing
To another
And likewise
Lift ourselves
That we all
Are made free
See the truth
Of what we have
Are getting
Every single day.

…………………………………………………


WHAT EXCUSE[27]

The honor
Of being alive
Granted
To every living person
Young child
Old person
Every woman here
Is misused
At every turn
Taking the love
And beauty
Here about us
Turning it to hatred
And war
To accepting
And ignoring
Hatred
Disease
Starvation
In the name of society
Hardening us
To the natural caring
Born
Into each one of us
A blessing
From above
What shall we cry
When
He has had enough
Bids us
Pay the price
For the sacrilege
We commit
Each day
On our fellow man.
……………………………………………

WHO ARE WE TO KNOW[22]


Joy
In the thought
That God
Is watching
Over me
Sorrow wells
In the shortcomings
That I see
But then
A thought
What are shortcomings
To He
Who is all
Or
What is perfection
We
Know not
But what our ego
Tells us
Until
Conscience
Our hidden
Private voice
Differentiates
What might be
From what is
And we see
As Christ saw
And
Make a small place
Of love
In the world.

…………………………………………………


A PRAYER[23]

Oh
Light of love
Shine on me
The loner
Who needs someone
The introvert
Who is in fact
A closet extrovert
Who
It seems
Must have surety
Within some bounds
For him to carry on
So help me now
Upon
My quest
For
I’ll not stand
For nothingness
And this
I will pray
To my
God of gods
And
Angels before
Help me
Gain the end
That
Surely waits for me.

…………………………………………


GUARDIAN
ANGEL [24]


In
The light of day
In
The dark of night
God
And His angels
Will
Watch over us
Guiding us
As they may
But
To do their best
We must work
As well
In caring
And in love
So that
All will shine
Through us
Yes
And God
Be magnified.

………………………………………….

ARMAGGEDEN INTERIOR[19]

May the rain of Wisdom
Shower
All of humankind
With the wisdom of love
That divine aspect
Of He who resides above
Below
Without
Within
May the roots of change
In the hearts and minds
Of men
Cause to transpire
That change
To produce Armaggeden
In the hearts
And eternal souls
Of men
Show those who fear
The horror
Of a ‘final’ conflict
That such righteous war
Must transpire
Within
Change
The nature of man
To that of Jesus
The man who of late
Showed us
How to live.

……………………………………………..


LOVE[20]



If
The light of the world
Is not
Shining on you
Smile
Let your love
Show
For
It will plant
Such
Heavenly seed
That there will
Never
Ever
Ever
Be dark
That darkness
To shut out
Divine Light.

…………………………………………..

BE [21]



If you
Want to be a winner
Be it
If you
Want to have success
See it
If you
Want to have true love
Give it
Therefore
To become something
Be
It
God bless us
Every one.
