Today I will walk
Through this busy land
Unhurried and unrushed
Though the world not understand

RLB

.............to sit down and reflect
on how we lived our life the past
years, months, weeks, days, hours...
it's not the only time to recall
the wrong decisions we made,  
the people who got affected, and
how we recompense(d) them...

Lent is not the only time to be kind,
to be giving to others...we go deeper
than thinking good...being good, and
doing good.......love must shine in
our actions and words, naturally,
it must radiate from within us
all the seasons in our lifetime...

older folks always told us children then:
"be patient...find time to read, try to
understand the Passion of the One
crowned with thorns...it could lessen
the stubbornness in you...or, change
some of your stubborn views..."

until now, i ask myself: if i had been there,
would i have stopped?
would i have helped Him in His sufferance?
this leads me to my own daily crosses...
the lightest, the easiest problems worry me,
without analysis...i quickly pray for solutions...
...i whine......even in silence, i complain...

most people have flown out of the country,
some are on their way to blue beaches
to play games on the sandy shores...
some stay home, watch movies on netflix...
me?..i am alone...but not really alone,
pondering by the garden....with two white
puppies nibbling on my toes and slippers,
naughty, exploring nonstop...ruining my oxygen
and money plants...messing the veranda floor,
i almost rang their former owner.....but,
their enquiring eyes did melt my heart...

these puppies, somehow, brought light
to my blurry mind....taught me to just
accept what is in front of me,
without asking questions....
i do believe...reflections
come off and on...anytime,
...lent is not the only time....

A child
Walking among life
A mere green field without designated paths
But a child has to grow
And the colorful paths began to take form
Red, yellow or blue?
What are you
A christian, muslim or jew?
I choose the green field
The child within me wants to roam free
With those who were abandoned by their paths
Together, we’ll walk barefoot on the grass
And live
And love
In a life bigger than roads and rules
Where children play with a rainbow colored rose
Unafraid, unchained,
For God is love

Eggs
Amen
Sins
Tarnished
Everything revives
Even Christ

On that cross,
His sweat and blood were dripping
If I was in His shoes, I would be cursing
But He did the opposite, He was praying
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing"

The Son of God became sin
He died, sin died and was done with forever
The story didn't end with His death
3 days later, He was raised by the Father
And He ushered us into life eternal

We became heirs of the promises
Worthy branches of His Vine
Called to a life full of bliss
Glory to the risen King!

"Truly" truly "I tell you" right
The rooster wont crow before you
"Disown me thrice" in this night
Truly truly I tell you!

O Lord, you do know better me
Than myself do my master great
Still you love me endlessly.

I feel helpless clueless thin
Hard to hold your love within
The confines of my dimensions
Yet claim my love in conventions
For you by mouth, full of fears
When it falls on hardened ears
Your love reveals in my tears.

O Sacred king of armies fierce
Unparalleled are your graces
Filling all your universe
That too drip my humble verse
And reach my core with hand in glove
To see my 'fallow ground' below
Weak to 'stand firm" and 'hold fast'
Yet strong to deny before crowds
Truly truly, you knew me lord
And still you love me and afford

As the rooster crew at dawn
You turned to see me break down
A look of silent caring word
That pierced my core like a sword
Flooding my soul with an ocean
Of love and waves of your passion.

Truly truly you tell me loud
In shrill voice in silent words
Your love for man does save this world
Truly truly you tell me Lord!

The floods are violently rising
against the glory
The clouds of adverse winds
blowing war in boom
All hope perishing in perilous
hopelessness

Rising in glory the King of kings
who is mightier than the voice
of many waters
Rebuking the enemies, swallowing them in victory as my soul magnifying Him who is more than sufficient!

The triumphant King rides in victory on the swirling flaming contours of the world gyrating circles.

Praise the triumphant King of glory my soul and forget not not His greatness which tamed and put to rout all adverse winds.

Magnify the immortal God O my soul with all within and without walls of my existence.

Praise Him!
Praise Him in His power!
Praise Him in the praise!

May your Love Overwhelm their Heart here and everywhere.
May you Bless each and everyone of their writings here too.
Use each and everyone of them to Heal others and bless them.
Reveal your love to those reading their poems as well Lord.
Fill their minds with Your words to reveal you to the reader.
Let your words soak well in their minds, filling them up with you.
For O Lord you can do anything that you chose to do Mighty One.
Reveal yourself to every reader that reads , yours and theirs poems.
So that they shall feel the blessing and know those words are yours.

This list will really help you see,
All the life hacks that you need,
How to think and how to be,
If you are of human breed.

Pride- Don't be proud, everything you have achieved,
Is thanks to god(in which you HAVE to believe).

Envy- Don't want what others have, even if their **** is better,
if their gf's *** is fatter.(you'll end up in hell)

Gluttony-eat only as much as you need, and don't
enjoy any of your meals( food is as bad as *** it seems)

Lust-don't ever wish to ****, even when down on your luck
(and you haven't smashed in months)

Anger- don't be angry at the man who ******* your mom and took your land(you sure have to understand, he's a righteous Christian man)

Greed- don't want more and don't try,or you will surely roast,
your life should be sacrifice, only Jesus needs a Porche.

Oh and I almost forgot, Noone likes to **** a Sloth.

If you abide by these rules,
You'd avoid a lot of fun.
But as a righteous Christian fool,
That's a job that's all but done.
