POEMS FROM PUBLISHED COMPILATIONS

 

HEALING TREE

IN GOD CONCEIVED

In God conceived,

all forms, thoughts, and creations,

none came forth,

before God' s foundations.

Pillars of brass

origins of conception,

the porch of the temple,

existing within.

Two bowls

on the pillars, of the entrance

ƒire and water,

contained.

The blessings of nature,

the blessings of man,

existing,

in total harmony.

A life conceived,

a lifeline represented;

the life of a man,

and all its consequences.

The letters

from sapphire blazed

superiorly,

coming forth in divination.

Potential of a higher sphere;

remnants of which,

allow,

still believing after the fall, is man awaiting.

  HEALING TREE

Conceived and created

in God¡¦s celestial realm;

perfected,

in harmony and perfect outcomes.

A glimpse of light

a ray amid darkness

for man to grasp,

in a ƒPeeting moment.

The garden ƒOlled

with all God¡¦s trees and creations

abundant beauty,

for us to know.

A ƒig, inƒluenced by Jupiter

brings forth life,

a ruler over

love and divination.

The eagle a bird of Jupiter

a symbol of swiftness,

a ruler,

like the sun.

The oak, a tree

denoting stability,

mandrake a mystical herb

healing and purity in essence.

Grapes, inƒPuenced by the Moon

mind strength,

fertility and ecstasy,

wealth and prosperity.

The deer swift and graceful

aspiring,

is the life

of the soul.

THE POWER

The power to heal is within us,

for faith is mighty,

faithful responses and timely outcomes,

pave the way.

Capturing meaning

from a life fading away;

a face of the living

transforming even dismay.

Quality of beingness

depending on nature of unity;

coming together

bringing order.

For tranquil are the ways

of being;

that seek

and want.

Emulated forms all of creation

are the gatherings of choice;

waited on,

reƒlected in the nature of unity.

A mission,

improvement and movement

touched by the stirring,

oh a higher source.

And attempts at order

is progress

of the living,

for possibility is still.

And motion reminds;

bringing change and novelty;

attempted trial

for man to know.

 

MYRIADS

Myriad of hosts and rulers

expressed and realized

for all to understand in each of their tongue

perception of the mystery of origin.

Creations offering their gifts

abundance and fruitfulness before us,

seventy two sacred names that hold

reƒlections of merit, we contemplate.

And the source

is water;

endlessly ,

it gives.

And the source

is ƒOre;

endlessly,

warming.

And the source

is air

for it is endless

movement.

And the source

is earth

for it is endlessly

containing.

                                                                                              

  ADAM

An earthly man, placed on earth

living as a celestial form;

mankind,

he does inƒluence.

Generations of people

live in his kind

for he was the ƒirst man

created.

From the highest

of worlds, does he shape

the living do emulate

the creative council of the ages.

Banished into darkness and toil

he awaits a return,

and a salvation;

to be in the realms of His Father

Most noble,

unformed;

kinds of idealized

states of adoration.

Emanating

before conception;

urging life

from a higher ground

 

PERMANENCE

Permanence,

an adulated state;

xing a point of devotion,

belief of belonging, expressed.

For atonement of uncertainty

is the surety of deserving

and dwelling is comfort,

for after an end is a road set.

Urgency set aside;

for all roads will join

nothing left

but the initiative and hopes.

And the journey is long

and illuminating are the lessons

revealed,

lifting the hearts.

 

COALS AND DIAMONDS

As a burning coal

burning the tongue

is a lesson

learned.

Lost and found

the body responds,

and reactions

will demand.

For not wanting and requiring;

is true

and needing

is life.

And choosing

elicits a response from the many

for sure

is choice.

And the diamonds

come forth, sparkling,

they belong;

and choice is made.

Diamonds

existing,

among

coals burning.

                                                                                                 

      SLUMBERING

And the waters remain quiet

as slumbering, far from sight

as the latent force that lies within

awaiting to awaken.

And the wise await

for they know

of the coming,

mighty are the waters that sleep.

As waters healing,

is the awakening of the people,

remembering,

they establish.

No rest or cessation they will know,

endless motion returned,

yet in stillness

is their control.

And manhood and womanhood

is the harnessing of the forces

a life contained

and mastered.

 

SEVEN STARS

THE POINT OF RECKONING

Taking account of right and wrong

that point of reckoning is greater then we

the star that governs

shines mightily.

Men, are not yet reaching

this divine intention;

and that awesome day,

that recounts.

A lesser light

and a greater one

illuminating deeds

that none can fathom.

The star that guides remains great,

even greater

than that point,

reckoning.

Under the heavens

sojourning

God’s omnipotence

governs;

the safety

of the inhabitants.

The return

of the souls of men;

is guarded

by the fi rmness of the lights.

 

 

 

 

 

LIGHTENING

Lightening

and thunder shakes

the foundations

of the earth.

And the earth

receives, like pregnant, is the land

quaking with tremors

after birth.

The swelling of the earth

the seeds well underground

ready to manifest

even the rocks take form.

Deep in the earth

the roots take hold

potentiality

of the unknown.

The land swells

and quakes

for the times

are hard.

 

AGAINST THE SHORES

The ocean beating

against the banks

retreating slowly

unto itself.

Against the shores

with strength, beating

manifesting

persistence and power.

And other wonders

like the eclipse of the sun

and moon

remain to witness of actions untold.

The spring equinox,

a meeting of sorts;

for wonders transcend

and tell of God’s glory.

And every form and kind

challenges to become;

for mighty they will be

exceeding is their source.

For nature is their own

creation is a part of their existence;

changing and transforming

the ways before them.

For the failings are silenced

by the waves and the winds;

and through the elements, and Godly spirit

all is formed.

In God’s vision

all exists

yet on earth

the soul comes forth.

Taking form

in a body;

so through creation

he transcends, refi nes and forms.

 

 

THE BREAKING OF MY KNEES

Devotion of mind

and spirit;

even in desolation

love pursued.

Hesitation I feel

for dire are the paths

presented

before my destiny I stand, and I break.

The breaking of the knees

the lowering of the head;

for humbly I understand

the fall.

Binding, what is good

on an alter;

for doubt

has overtaken my call.

Safety thereof

bringing stillness,

to my own devotion,

for peacefulness is fruitful.

Slow are the steps

mine, I must inherit

bestowed

are the blessing of the Lord.

Humbleness of spirit

for destiny is from within

I await

my head bowed.

My eyes have seen

and I expect;

the sun will go down

and I will still believe.

What is mine, to count and hold?

I will try to reach

I recede

I fall.

THE SUN IS HOT

THE SUN IS HOT

 

 

 

CLOTHE MY SOUL

Clothe my soul

give me form

let me shine

let me learn.

A candle, a light

to brighten the night

a beacon a sign

illuminating a right.

Clothe my soul

warm my bones

give me rights

desire my world.

Light my way,

illuminate my night,

release these never-ending questions,

never-ending doubts.

Weariness and hunger

deprivation and neglect

are conditions of humanity

a condition of regret.

 

THE VERY MOMENT

He battled

for his honor,

he battled

for his name.

He fought for his own recall

he yearned for his own longing.

He gave up his honor

for a sin he did not know.

He struggled eternally

to keep up a moment,

the one that let him cry

and let him feel his fright.

That very moment,

made him an equal

thay very moment,

broke him down.

The moment he saw,

the moment he came

he knew he would never lose again,

he knew he would never win.

The very moment he conquered,

the very moment he achieved,

he knew he would never surrender;

he knew of his imperfect state.

That very moment he battled,

that very moment he fought;

he knew it was forever

he knew it was the end.

 

IN CAPTIVITY I WAIT

In captivity I wait;

your gates I must open,

your temple walls

will protect my ground.

Protect me from the lashings

of existence;

protect me from the drunkenness

of the times.

Your sacrifices

will melt the oppression;

the ropes that bind me

will come undone.

The chains that hold me will burn

because of your pleas;

cruelty will dissipate

because of your righteousness.

In captivity I wait;

your gates I must open,

your temple walls

will let me overcome.

THE SUN IS HOT

The sun is hot

in these hard times;

give me shade

so I can think.

Another day

I will ask for,

so I can mend

my irreconcilable state.

The moon cools

the scorching times,

inspiring us,

and our imaginations.

Another night

brings me shade

helps me mourn

my desolation.

The freezing rain

in the cold morn,

the falling snow

will appease my existence.

Another season

passed by

perhaps tomorrow

you will know.

Hail, rain,

snow and sun,

water cools

my thirsty soul.

READY TO BE MOLDED

The clay

is ready to be molded

the mortar

is ready to be formed.

From nothing

he built;

from void

there was something.

He supported,

he formed,

he anointed;

snow to dust.

An even life force

ebbs urgently,

last hopes

are actualized.

 

THROUGH THE AGES

 

A HUMBLE MAN

In his frustration

he saw,

in his devastation

he conquered.

In his desperation

he believed,

in his loss

he knew.

In his faith

he lived,

in his oaths

he persevered.

In God’s glory

he took shade,

in God’s deliverance

he said enough.

In God light

he rested,

in God’s arms

he awaits.

A humble man.

 

THE WORLD CAVED IN

The world caved in;

for my love for you,

I couldn’t bear

the destruction.

The world broke down;

when I spoke your name,

I couldn’t overcome

the barren lands.

The world overcame;

the depth of my love,

can we survive

such an end.

I look to the heavens;

you pray to your God;

for mercy,

forever.

A covenant

for the world.

you left

for eternities.

WORLDS IN HIS HANDS

His days are long,

the world in his hands,

his nights unwind,

into the generations.

His months

pass by,

rooted in eternity,

foretell of undying love and dedication.

His years unfold

into the times;

bringing back hopes

of eternal possibility.

His tears fall,

on the arms of God;

bringing mercy

to the people.

 

A BINDING

A binding of a son;

a binding of a fortune;

watching the forces ride,

watching the wars of time.

Reminder of a truth;

reminder of a faith;

reminder of an oath;

reminder of a God.

A binding of a son;

a binding of a fortune;

blessings from above,

in due time arrive.
