let me just add
I do not pick or choose
I believe all of the bible
simply that the reality
of it being translated
so very many times
Im sure some of the original
thoughts and writings
were lost by time
and humanity

I breathe deep
for my gathered gloom
quickly evaporates
through each exhale,
as I watch closely
to the birds rest
but not so quietly
cause my pitt chases them,
from their calm comfort
in a pretty peach tree
he knows not right
only what we deem wrong,
nor of the chaos created
in those wee little hearts
covered in colorful wings
while I sit sipping coffee,
so finely ground it settles
into mud on the bottom
of my tiny delicate cup
wishing I had much more,
from a now distant place
I once called home
in another language
as I lay beside the pool,
I emptied it all too early
but Im glad that its clean
as I snooze guilt free
with a wet frisbee at my feet,
and a dog that knows
I'll play when when ready
as he too takes a nap
and lets me listen to the birds

Every once in a while, I like to read my writes. I can see this in my mind still, when writing it.
 
When our Father in heaven speaks to me


when our Father in heaven speaks to me
it could be in waves roaring out at sea
as they await like thunder to crash upon sand
and I learn by observation of His power

sometimes it can be through small flowers
which bloom ever so tenderly and awaken
simply to share their beauty and scent
and I know the happiness He shows us

He is a master artist who paints the skies
in wonder of color and awe of glow to darkness
only to shine the twinkles of stardom
and He teaches me how small I really am

sometimes it is through the Holy Spirit
I sense and feel different things like when to pray
I am special as His child He made me to glorify Him
and when I listen with my heart He is right here

when our Father in heaven speaks to me
it might not be with words I can hear
but He sure has a lot to say to mankind
when we take the time to hear His message :)
 
every single day reminds me of love
our salvation given as a free gift,
from our heavenly Father above
putting off that old self with a new lift,

we are changing with His spirit inside
trying to be what He wishes for us,
sometimes I dont know but Christ is my guide
I feel prayer is a special bonus,

doing my best to be charitable
as a compass of hope in this life we live,
might I help others when I am able
even if it is only an ear to give,

may I sparkle like a star in the night sky
before my soul to heaven does fly...

the temperature is falling and Im cold
no matter what I wrap myself inside,

my aching body is feeling so old
taking my core on a not joyous ride,

oh please do return warmer days now gone
how I certainly miss you this evening,

I anticipate and love light of dawn
as the moon shine now leaves me grieving,

how I wish to frolic in temperance
this mediocre of moderation,

for my heart desires not cold to dance
and heat to think deep contemplation,

I suppose a heating blanket must suffice
before I shiver me timbers loudly,

its better than having body parts of ice
as I can wear it like a robe proudly~
 
Ive been drowning in glitter again
coughing up the stuff with breakfast
I wont see the end of it till after Valentines
as even my laser blue jeep is covered

retail therapy need not apply
do not shop for anything more please
you already have enough decorations
as my wardrobe screams from shinny bits

Im already burnt out on the nonsense
so why cant I hide away till spring?
that sounds like a beautiful plan
I dont think my boss would agree though

so glitter at every mealtime it remains
head to toe regret disguised as festive
when all I want is to wash it all away
as it keeps coming back to haunt me

Good morning, thenami;

You're an artist so I feel you can relate. After I read your poem for some reason this song with lyrics came to mind. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving. - bob

We May Never Pass This Way (Again)
Song by Seals & Crofts ‧ 1973
Lyrics

Life
So they say
Is but a game and they'd let it slip away
Love
Like the autumn sun
Should be dyin'
But it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead
They don't see just where we're goin'
And all the secrets in the universe
Whisper in our ears
All the years will come and go
Take us up
Always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
Dreams
So they say
Are for the fools and they let 'em drift away
Peace
Like the silent dove
Should be flyin'
But it's only just begun
Like Columbus in the olden days
We must gather all our courage
Sail our ships out on the open seas
Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go
Take us up
Always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
So
I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy
I wanna cry if makes it worthwhile
I may never pass this way again
That's why I want it with you
'Cause
You make me feel like I'm more than a friend
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end
I may never pass this way again
That's why I want it with you
Baby
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

the dissolution of lifes woes
can mist away like fresh rain
which brings rainbows of hope
like magic knowing nothing lasts

for everything has a time and reason
but goodwill integrity and compassion
shall persevere onward lifting spirits
to overcome any obstacle

therefor we do not dismay
our Lord is here to get us through
with love prayer and courage
as this day does pass onward

and become nothing but a memory
of the choices we decide to make
one thought one moment one step
for a happier tomorrow :)
