“And they sing a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
for you were slaughtered and with your blood
you bought people for God
out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
and you made them to be a kingdom
and priests to our God,
and they are to rule as kings
over the earth.”” … More ‘The End of the Matter’
Tell Me… I’m Listening.
Sing me tales of love.
Sweep my feet off worry’s path.
Kiss my lobs with words
of poets who lift spirits

Listening to splendid winds. … More Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (17) 1st draft

agitated waves
will depart;
a path
tranquil
instilled
to chill
your angry ocean…
Believe…
