The Truth Shall Lead Us

Can anyone truly say
That what they think
Is the only truth
To proceed in day to day
Life activities?
We all come from
Worlds within worlds...
And in these... we grow
Branching out
And growing some more.
We read, we feed
from those before us
And those around us now...
But just as in anything...
We are what we eat...
Be careful to not digest a lie
That will cause you to die...
To die is not just ceasing to exist
Among the flesh...
But to live day to day
In an uncalled for way.
We were made to choose
And to choose wisely...
loving the life
We were gifted with...
What you know... I may not know,
In return... what I know, you might not know... choose what you know
Your soul so desires...
For that of the now
May not lead you to tomorrow...
The truth shall lead us...
Though the heart be deceitful...
It tugs towards what is right
If our minds are in alignment
With what is right...
Live happy and free
Never in lies or mental slavery.

Our Wants... Our Musts...

What we must have
Is not the same as what
It is that we want...
We confuse our must
With our wants...
What I want compares nothing
to what I must have...
I must have more God
Within my veins...
Within my thoughts...
Within my heartbeats...
Withing my every breath...
Only then will I pass the test,
The test of time...
That many tend to be blinded by...
I may walk and not drive...
I may live humbly and not lathered...
I may have low days...
But God is my drive... my refuge... my strength...
Therefore my wants compare nothing
to my must...
All glory be to God in the highest
Now and forevermore.

Amen

Not One

Not one...
Not one wave
From the seas
Resembles the next...
It may seem as if...
But not one waves
Like the one before
Or the one thereafter...
But each moves
One after the other
As God's mighty love
Pushes energy flow
Roaring from time to time
Yet others so still and calm...
The waves so high up
Yet other times so low...
Like the waves
We too are not alike...
But resemble in His image
Flowing with energy
Within the Holy Spirit...
At times we roar...
At times we are still and calm...
At times we are high..
At times so low, low...
But with the Masters Command
To love one another...
The energy through love
Brings us closer amongst one another
And more importantly closer
to God... oh what a mighty God
We so do serve.

1, 2, 3...

It's just a thought
One of many
That is planted
Within our minds
That someone, somewhere
Said one fine day...
"They go in three's..."
Is it a cultural thing?
Body... mind... spirit...
One after the next
As School House Rock played:
"Three is the magic number.."
Can you hear it?
I am seeing it...
First one left
Second one moved on
The third???
But burden not self...
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Are three and as you can witness,
Are still here as they were yesterday...
What is, is... what leaves us, will leave...
What comes, comes...
There is no sense of wonder
Ponder the now... give all you have now
And wish and do all the goodness
That is possibly possible...
If they leave in one's...
If they leave in two's...
If they leave in three's...
Or 10', 12's or more...
Know this and this alone...
Love love and be loved
With the love From above.

The Flow

It comes and goes
Sometimes flooding my mind
Other times barely making it through,
Like a drought in mid summer’s heat.
Nothing feels more refreshing
Than when it rushes through
Flushing out all
That which I knew
And that which I knew not
With a sigh or a smile
The flow of the thoughts
Produce the letters
That make what you are reading
My reality, my passion, my life…
Nothing compares to the sensation
Of writings magic creation…
Correcting myself now of course,
My Creator to be thanked
For it is in Him that I am
And through him I can
Let the flow take me
Here and there
Without leaving my chair.
The flow is real,
The Inspiration from Above
Is divine
And all I can do is let time
Let the flow go
Until it flows no more.

Be Blessed... Now and Always

Brought to you
By days past
Given to you
By the present moment,
Live it
For tomorrows blessings.

Never Give Up

I seem to not
So many times
But I know I can
All the time
For if I couldn't
I wouldn't be here
Standing strong
On the last nerve
I have left...
We can never give up,
For if we do...
We will not know
That which we sought for
Throughout our existence
We need to raise our awareness
And hands with thankfulness
For it is by divine intervention
So many of us understand
That we are still seeing... smelling... feeling... still thinking and still speaking.
