A TRANQUIL SEA

A tranquil sea
glassy with frost tipped waves breaking gently
invites no memories of war machines
a blighted scene with bloodstained bodies heaped dead on sand
demanded lives of international brothers hating on command
with all to lose, nothing to gain by international disdain. … More A TRANQUIL SEA

My Precious Fine Pearl

“Buy truth and never sell it, Also wisdom and discipline and understanding.” Prov. 23:23. * I’m just a girlwho searched and found a precious fine pearl.All pearly white glistening bright. I found this pearlbringing pure delight… Then almost sold it in darkening light. Then remembered that I must fight to do what’s rightEvery new day… … More My Precious Fine Pearl

Merciful

I walked confidently
where my own steps
willingly, me took.

Almost slipped
since a straight path I foolishly forsook.

My heart became divided;
off focus generously looked;

errant, my desires
to a dark forest bent.

Caused faith to fade; dwindle
as increased slightly… my pocketbook: … More Merciful

Esther or Eve; Mordecai or Adam

“Do not imagine within your own soul
that the king’s household will escape
any more than all the other Jews.

For if you are altogether silent at this time,
relief and deliverance themselves will stand up for the Jews from another place;

but as for you and your father’s house,
YOU people will perish.

And who is there knowing whether it is for a time like this that you have attained to royal dignity?””

To prevent these people
from being eternally erased. … More Esther or Eve; Mordecai or Adam

Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (4))

My inwards mellow when I think of rain.
Its pitter patter to stay one sane.

Water that thunders down
upon an unshaded window pane.

This wondrous weather I love seated
or when simply laying

chapbooks and coffee
to enjoy the day and gentle sound. … More Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (4))

Remember the Prophets

“The great day of Jehovah is near!

It is near
and it is approaching very quickly!

The sound of the day of Jehovah
is bitter.

There a warrior cries out.

That day is a day of fury,
A day of distress and anguish,
A day of storm and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick gloom”. Zeph. 1:14, 15.

“And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved”. Joel 2:32. … More Remember the Prophets

Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (2)

So sweet, so bitter
this taste of love
upon my lips.

I sing to soften
as gentle rain,
a storm
that pummels.

In exquisite pain
a wren, no dove
as she to he–
though a servant
forever grateful be.

His touch a pleasure;
eyes heaven
divine.

How will I measure
Beth’s form so fine?

Can he hear
from deep
in this well
I call ‘my soul’
this fear I feel?

This lust so bold?

His wife I am.
His slave, though free.

Lord, let him see

I too am a woman
of refined qualities. … More Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (2)
