aloft

hope is knowing
that it cant be crushed

feeling the hurt
the dirt

scrape

like the kings men falling down

but in the midst
lifting again
through it all
living again

knowing nothing can shatter
everything composing you
for eyes belong above

floating above
everything holding eyes captive
never solitude
never left

today

i woke up today again
and again it tried to destroy me

this morn quite early I rose
and indeed it failed to unmake me

indestructible is my hope
unshakable my rock

for I hope
and fall
and rise
and pray

in me lives something
which cannot be swayed

this is proven
today
today
today
and today

her eternally

I want to look into her eyes
and give her eternity

I want to look deeply into her eyes
and give her an eternity

I want to be her eyes
eternally

This Too Shall Pass by Helen Steiner Rice

If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too

Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains

That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.
only


a love so pure
dedicated
and meant to be

so long this thing
my unfaithfulness to thee
my heart still fashioned
to hold a matrimonial desire
its you my love I want
leading the narrow path


you

my only desire

mono culture


let's travel to this land
though the distance is far
we ought not forget
who we are
who we are

this sojourn be great
although we are at threats whim to be marred
this we shall resolve
to remain who we are
who we are

on the floating ship
past gates made with foggy day
packing in suitcase insurmountable odds
when our clothes we unfold at ports not ours
we shall stay and ready with this saying

we shall remain
who we are
who we are

him

and at the waters edge
with all that greenness we usually call park
I saw him there
I call it him
but in fact
it was just a sunny bay
and in that moment I felt lifted here
against the wind
lofty here

for one moment I'm with you
and across the world

here

we all sang
which means we did sing

his glory
his glory
his glory still fills the whole earth
he is watching us
and his glory fills the whole earth


Author's Note: hug a tree, then thank it for the smile :)

fearness my love


fear so dear
been with you so long
you've become warm bonding and old

so near yes my dear
ive grown fond
of these moments we've spent
so far apart from my innermost desire

this break if entertained
would break this spell
chasing me to a point
a joy
that was once my fire


Author's note:
Romans 8:38, 39 - And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[o] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

side note - Fear is death. He came to make us live.

side side note - fearness is a term which I use to mean this. It's a fear that becomes so known someone that one even becomes comfortable with it. It's almost like one gives it a home and a nickname as one would give a lover.

due time


every day a new photo
I fast forward

time

the darkroom assembling arpeggio
every image kneling before me
this being
new mind

sorrow won't take me
this horror will not be mine

a catagory known to memory
a triumph
all divine

remember this
because

this frame be a latter victory
and all good things
are in due time

the day bows down
the promise keeps to morrow's way
the later a distant memory
I believe this lofty

used to

I used to
used to want to
I used to want to see angels appear
to hear harps
my inner desire was to see a pillar of fire
to walk a golden gate
to pause for an epiphany
on the millionth mile

trickled with cloudy bait
all luring me
all for my eye to believe you there

no longer
no fireworks or bangs to sound you here
all I want
is to know you
to know your love will stand with I
right by
right here


Authors Note:
Have a blessed easter. Bless the lord today.
Psalm 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty

a fool's hope


hope
that smallest ray
seen after the darkest note
the smallest ray
after that dagger
with my blood it did coat
from above the sky
down from which it did float
that narrow gate
a sign above
the weight of it
full of hope
the smallest ray
suddenly much more
now I can say
I know the stem
from which grows hope

embrocation


could it be
what I needed was some simple

embrocation

this hurt settled in me for so long

suffocation

worked it's way through me

infestation

but with sweet serendipity you helped me

liberation

bucolic


I watched the birds fly in the sun
and the light hit the trees

in the morning

I watched the birds in the sun
and the light hit the trees

simply put

this morning went up
and my mind raced towards you
thank you for simply loving me
my life an equality
a bucolic man I be
decidedly following you

yesterday?

if one thinks about it
a realization comes that
you truly cannot live in yesterday
all your past sins are twenty four away

wallowing with solitude
no time machine to bring back the foray
freedom it seems
had its period in which it would stay
but unless you see
what stands in your way
looking down at what once was
above
what is
simply put
today

you were beautiful


the problem with sin
err
wrongheadedness and the like
is we get exactly what we want
to that I say this
to that I say goodbye
so long my love
my latter my beautiful mistake
my gorgeous desire with eyes of fire

I'll simply walk away this time
not turning back the clock of time
I'm just walking on the opposing lane
releasing all the misology that weighed me down
releasing all the lovely that weighed me down
no longer a being
weighed down

today I say goodbye to you
goodbye to you my hunchbacked liar
farewell to thee my beautiful desire

Something In The Way


nis

because of this
there will always be
something I won't see
a bit that I can't touch
a serene I'll try but will not smell

a path I'll walk
but wont feel
a sense I'll know
but cannot perceive
the might by which I try
but can't kill

we see through the world partially
vacantly
and with poor clarity
but knowing you reminds us all
of a flighty memory


Author's Note: Nirvana said it best - there is "something in the way"

adora

what a swift and sure
donation to madness this be
to guard one's inner being
kept pure
in adoration of thee
