Hop aboard the Express

Coast to coast, city to city, passengers in line

Electric locomotive, powering at speed

Turn about the corner, tilting train along the track

Compartments of the carriage

Synchronized flow, signal – stop sign

Yet a glance behind, dancing of the trees

Horses on the moor

A scenic tour, destination ever-near

Of varied kinds, capacities great and small

Lest we fall, yet with closed eyes we crawl

Make way to the mountain, sloping steep hill

Railway equipped, pinion wheel grip

The fascination a journey entails

Straddling monorail, of columns held upon

Embrace beams above roads

Diesel locomotives, powering gears

Afore times we have known, use of pulling alone

Steam locomotives, signs of the time

Wait in line, aboard the horse-drawn carriage

Pressure, power, steam

Fuel for freight trains, packed with heavy loads

Rolling wagon wheel

Roll-on record breakers, ravishing appeal

The aardvark who was ashamed looked at the floor

The ant that was angry banged on the door

The bee who was bold ventured on a quest

The bear who was bored drew upon his vest



The cat that was calm never entered rage

The cockatiel who was content sung in his cage

The crocodile that was cheerful looked very pleased

The deer who was disgusted brushed against the trees



The dog who was delighted wagged his tail high

The eagle that was envious soared across the sky

The goat that was grateful helped a near farmer

The gorilla that was glad ate his banana



The giraffe who was grumpy didn’t like the day

The horse who was happy galloped all the way

The jaguar that was jealous ran away far

The monkey who was mad jumped upon a car



The parrot that was proud brought aloud his voice

The snake that was sad made a poor choice

The seahorse that was silly caused a lot of strife

The tiger that was thankful loved to enjoy life

Verse 1
You are like none before, that could open up the door
To find the hidden place within my heart
Yet from a solo dance, the trials of romance
A journey forth, I set myself apart

Bridge
Yet the helplessly surreal, had a new and fresh appeal
With a time that would reveal, love is real

Chorus
A dream come true, we’re embracing life together
Capturing the moments through and through
A dream come true, a blossoming endeavour
I have found forever with you

Verse 2
A cherished memory, you captivated me
A new perspective, for my soul to take
Through the valley of, a hopeful quest for love
A deep desire found to re-awake

Chorus x2

A garden of serenity, peace with all prosperity

Trees and flowers on the land, yet adhere to my command

Rivers flowing gracefully, the planting of a special tree

Tree of life father to give, whoever ate would surely live



Unaware of a wrong choice, they listened to his gentle voice

The knowledge of a testing tree, continuing contentedly

Sin had crept into the place. Serpent tricking Eve to taste

Forbidden nature so revealed, disobeyed – temptation yield



Unable to stand and face, for there was no hiding place

Words untrue that were believed, lack of presence, father grieved

Adam and Eve failed to obey, yet their Lord would make a way

Serpent tried to separate, angel at the garden gate



Sinful nature would remain, shortly Eve would endure pain

Pleasant bond now left to spoil, Adam punished, left to toil

Growing sorrow, little trust, feeble body, back to dust

Make way back to harmony, send a saviour – set us free

Between the two, a valley lay

Israelites and Philistines beckoning war

Out of the camp of the Philistines

A towering giant would arise

Heavily clad, defiant and bold

So to sway the staff of his spear

A nation in fear, as was King Saul

Forty days of terror

Armies advancing in battle

Yet to defeat

As Israelites retreat in the sight of David

Stood in dismay

Honours and riches, marital reward

To he who can defeat the giant

A due attack with staff and sling

No sword for him

A trust in the God of the living

A protective guide

With fears aside, a stone was struck

Of awesome power to the giant’s head

Down to the ground, accomplished with sword

An honourable defeat

A nation at peace

A Jewess of Nazareth, city of Galilee

Alongside Joseph, soon to be espoused

Descendants of David, humbly poor

Calibre in carpentry, provide for his bride

To Mary an angel would arrive

Words of the angel Gabriel, she will bring forth a son

A sovereign Saviour of the world

Mary blessed and highly favoured

To bear the chosen one, both ruler and King

Yet surprising, afar woman of old

Elizabeth of Judah, a promise to unfold

For she would soon be with child too

Nothing is impossible for God to do

Be it unto him, in accordance to the word

Leaping babe of thy womb, promise arise

A secret to rejoice, beyond angelic voice

A journey to Nazareth

Joseph’s divine dream

Awareness anew, a promise to be true

Of such commandments from above

Obedience – a stream of love

Presented with abundant choice

Abraham obeyed God’s voice



A promised child of such a time

A standing test now would remind

The passing time yet would not falter

Offered gifts upon the altar



To Moriah, a land away

The sacrifice yet to obey

A calling forth to bring upon

No sheep or lamb, the chosen son



With all trust not put to fault

An angel brought him to a halt

Abraham followed all his plans

Now untie his feet and hands



Due fulfilment of the test

Your descendants I will bless

Lord’s provision, for the right

Precious always in God’s sight

Celebrate versatility, of every ethnicity
Un-marginalise, break social exclusion, transcending illusions
A streaming subject that runs deep
Of chemical appliance, let go of the defiance
Un-tick the boxes, esteeming all, tear down the walls
A part of applauded appearances, let it go, let it be
Yield the root of the matter

Is it about good or bad? Or embracing what you have
With gratitude be glad
Set your own standards and expectations
The representational, be sensational
A headed glory, create your own story
To raise or lay down, finding YOU – be found
Twists, dreads, braids, outer beauty fades

Curly, wavy, straight, close the divide
No preference of side
No greater pick, fine, medium, thick
Long, medium or short, in spite of what is bought
Towards evolution, be your own solution
Of the inner voice, your personal choice
Hair is a journey, whether late or early

Whether young or old, inner value can’t be sold
In the midst of society, establish your priority
Of inner health, let that become your wealth
Accept yourself
Taken chances, of blessed finances
No worse or better, be your own trend setter
There’s every kind of beautiful, un-throne the judge

Unborn fears, traced back through the years
Your personal connotation, comprehend the relation
The way to be true, find your inner you
Of yours, of mine, hair does not define
Of no preference, a walk beyond difference
Inner realisations, natural formations
To tame for fame

Behold victory, realise your history
Un-ravelled vanity, embrace humanity

Astounding wonders of the Earth

Statues that have stood the test of time

Ancient structures of pyramids

Seemingly a series of sequential steps

Others found on higher ground

Stony blocks, weight in tonnes

Hauled into place, workers of the great

Deep within a royal tomb

Gleaming smooth surface

Stripped of limestone covering

That of great measure

Preservation thereof, a mummy rests

Clothes and jewellery to the afterlife

Avid depths of chambers

Pyramid passage

Spiritual door

Ever-present, evermore

A prominent star, far to the east

A symbol of peace, to wise men of three

Beyond such a journey, the awaiting of a new-born King

To follow the star, that they might worship him

Yet aside from their quest, puzzled, perplexed

That of King Herod, afore thy detest

Chief priests and scribes, an enquired gathering

Herod to protect his beloved throne

A diligent search toward Bethlehem

To advise wise men, to seek out the child

Such shadows of night upon the land

From city gates, to the rightful place

An earnest rejoice

A star stood still

To humbly kneel, treasured offerings

Dreams foretold, arise and flee

Take baby Jesus to Egypt, an urgent plea

Of governed talk, of discovery

Herod’s aim to conquer prophecy

A choice in haste, a wrongful deed, a wretched command

Be rid of all young boys in the land

Yet wise men moved on

Joseph and Mary to return to where they belong

To journey on, to the land of Galilee

The epitome of greatness, a mark in history

Of discipline remarkable, a stellar victory

Defeating the unbeaten, knock and break the mould

International heavyweight of Olympic Gold



Strike in quick succession, opponents retreat

Delivery duration, a knockout of defeat

Tactical ability, step into the range

Catalyst created, set for further change



Of the highest calibre, man who beat the man

Delivery on target, a humble champion

Of opponents outclassed, discontinued bout

Dominant performance, within and without



With athletic excellence, distance travelled far

Gym of daily training, cardio and spar

Professional perspective, stood to set the pace

Dedication, boldness, motivate, embrace



Influencing globally, rank of the elite

Rapid combinations, uppercuts repeat

Powerful formation, readiness of stance

Daily preparation, practice over chance



An honourable service, magnificence abound

Celebrating victory, crowding to surround

Continuing the greatness, strength and stamina

The world is truly grateful, Anthony Joshua



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©
The celebrity poem entitled 'Anthony Joshua' is in honour of his dedication to the industry of boxing and all round virtues. His career, lifestyle and influence spans far beyond the parameters of the boxing ring, in which he has accomplished worldwide acclaim. Generations across the board have been inspired by his professionalism and humble character.

As a public figure, he is relatable and dedicates valuable time to his fans. In a world of countless ambition, a wholesome character beyond talent alone is the substance of greatness. Along with many 'greats' he has taken his career further than a demonstration of athletic ability. He has incorporated essential balance into his lifestyle and surrounds himself with a supportive team of inspiring individuals. Such a likeminded network is the essence of a realised dream, with continued aspirations. As a high calibre individual, he has aimed high and continues to shine among the stars.

Many a flame, brightens the sky

Such events to re-enact

A plot in vain that would underlie

A pre-determined pact



Brought up as a Catholic child

Beliefs that would not wane

The distinct view of Protestants

Reflecting royal reign



The disapproving treatment then

Catholic Priests and all

Of secret church services

Hidden holes – no fall



A venture to the land of Spain

Discover and to fight

A brave and learned soldier

Gunpowder to alight



Plans devised, against the king

Thomas Winter’s plot

Fawkes informed and now assigned

Such tales were not forgot



A secret meet within the Inn

Robert Catesby lead

A gang adjoined as one to swear

Our plans will go ahead



A parliamentary opening

Imminently placed

For barrels rolled into the night

Hidden without trace



A letter sent to Monteagle

Reward for such a warn

Uncovered act, to light a fuse

The truth of which be sworn



Hidden in the cellar below

O’ Guy to now arrest

A plotters display of guilty heads

The ending of their quest

Strong Syrians at war against the Israelites

Yet followed a period of peace

Though no threat was posed, an enemy arose, from a foreign land

Fear drew in, the Assyrian king, was set to conquer all

Armies assembled from the border-land

O’ Ninevah city, a promised place

Radical residence of idol worshippers

Servers not of the living God, of what would become

A change of ways, lest they be destroyed

A chosen prophet foreseeable and called

A request to Jonah, awake the city

Of mercy and pity, to repent of their sins

Journey to Ninevah, look to the east

Actions opposed, a sail to the west, unaware of God’s test

An intention to hide, full of pride, he fell asleep

Yet on the ship, with sailors equipped, a storm arose

Wallowing winds, a stormy sea, a presumptuous plea

A cast of lots, on Jonah fell

Storm was sent on his account

Duly dashed into the sea, right into the belly of a fish was he

Three days and nights, afore dry land

Go tell the people of Ninevah

Preach the message, be undeterred

The sick crippled and blind, of troubled waters to find

Aside the Sabbath rule, walked Jesus by the pool

Affliction thus pervade, to rest nearby the shade

Of varied people sat, yet laid upon the mat



The healing then began, a poor and crippled man

A statement did foretell, to walk and then be well

To spring and rise alone, to start towards his home

Of miracles revered, for Christ had disappeared



Religious Jews within, accusing him of sin

A command to walk away, presently Sabbath day

Upholding an offence, beyond their own pretence

Likened to revolt, of men who did find fault



Disciples picking corn, for they did not conform

A watchful Pharisee, en route to Galilee

Attended to a man, who had a crippled hand

Though lesser hearts forbid, did as his father did

Verse 1
Keep me planted on solid ground, where true salvation can be found
Purified and free from shame, calling those who seek your name
With such power to move unseen and search the depth of my inmost being
For your glory of which I strive, with your strength I am alive

Chorus
To be at one with you, is instrumental to my growth
For all I’ve found in you, with tender mercy
A true unfailing love, with an everlasting oath
A core desire for you, so ever sincerely

Verse 2
Basking in your presence here, a stillness I can but revere
Of endeavours built in vain, for my almighty reigns
The peacefulness your assurance brings, you rise and soar with mighty wings
A towering rock of true safety, resting in your sanctuary

Child of virtue, child of reason



To tell of all your miracles

Of noble measure, that I trust

Where trouble finds, I am concealed

Of living lands, your truth revealed

Just rewards that we deserve



Guided forth, directed steps

Faithful guide, our Lord protects



Lord of favour, land inherit

Righteousness of spiritual merit



Unfailing love, patience abound

He sets my feet on solid ground

Eminent city of Persia, long live the King

A youthful Jewess, of parents passed

Resettled in her cousin’s home, under Mordecai’s care, as his own

To womanhood, the becoming of

The palace of Persia shall hold a feast, proud men shall gather

Prominent presence, echoes of entertainment

A heedless king of too much wine, a request for his Queen to dine

Such instruction declined

Continued unaligned, to behold of her beauty

Of customs contrary, of directions unwise

To dwell in the kingdom, yet to be replaced

In such haste, a queen no more

A closing door, seek out the best

Search through the kingdom

Esther before the King – be seen

To become Queen

Place a royal crown, inner restoration found

Mordecai as watchman, seated at the gate

Heard whispers of a plot against the King

Queen so informed, in Mordecai’s name

The guilty found, punished accordingly

Long life of the King

Mordecai unacknowledged

Notwithstanding kindness to him

Through the journey, life arrives

Underwater – start their lives

Stable neither hot nor cold

Soft tiny eggs there to behold



Of such a time, lay vulnerable

For many eggs is tactical

Protection of the animal

Camouflaged with gravel



Frogs and toad, amphibian class

Eggs that float in jelly mass

From tadpole to a metamorph

The stages of which to transform



The brooding pouch of the seahorse

Protection from an outside force

Hatch of species, tiny fry

Plankton their to multiply



Yolk sac feed, young fish growing

Strengthened muscles for swimming

Insect eggs and prawn relish

Hunting groups for bigger fish



Gliding through in forward motion

Darker depths of the ocean

Water wonders plentiful

Such vertebrates are wonderful

Precipitate, pontificate, pomegranate, postulate –

Problem?

Do not attempt to look these words up!

That dictionary shouldn’t be w-i-d-e open like your mouth

Or can’t you handle multi-syllabic lexis?

I thought you were TOUGH, MIGHTY and STRONG

Yet lower,

Lower,

Down into the ground

A million thoughts lay scattered, here, there and everywhere

WAIT A MINUTE

I thought you were INVINCIBLE and POWERFUL

So HARD that you could DEFEAT anything that came your way

I THOUGHT YOU COULD RUN AND hide

Why, this room is as LOUD as s-i-l-e-n-c-e

I see that your friends aren’t with you now

What happened to your BIG mouth! Cat got your tongue?

But when your friends are around

Your tongue can’t resist a good workout

Up, down, t-w-i-r-l it a-r-o-u-n-d

I thought that Audacious was your middle name

Oh, here comes Georgia Giraffe.  Cat got your tongue again?

The old YOU jumps out and reveals itself

When YOU LOOK down AT PEOPLE

Those known as the vulnerable

So why is it that when people LOOK down AT YOU

You put on a mask?

Such an innocent and friendly face!

Scared now?  Met your match?

I thought that if you had a pound for every fight you had won

Every human alive would be penniless

Silly sausage!  Oh, sorry!  Offended?

Truth hurt?  Are you a victim?

Well, imagine what it feels like to be a victim!

Where the world is an e-v-e-r-l-a-s-t-i-n-g nightmare

Look here, look there, but there is no escape route

I-m-a-g-i-n-e what it feels like to want to t-u-r-n back the clocks

Where you can never see the shine

If it isn’t too much of a HARD task, then

Bully, OH bully

Change

Verse 1
It starts right deep inside of me, a true grasp on identity
The present moment is the place to be, regardless of who's watching me
It’s plain to see, comprehensively, no real gain comes easily
Whether to the left or right of me, time in motion, truly free
To persevere is the truest reward, ride this train be truly on board
This right here to truly afford, come together, one accord
A single mind retrain able, good grades are attainable
Accomplish the impossible, you can be unstoppable
A single step to take, of directions moving on
Keep it moving in forward motion, articulate my song
With an aim of harmony, we can but soldier on
We must create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

There are challenges that are facing me, complex to simplicity
Teams move forward socially, share discussions vocally
To stand as one, it’s just begun
Separation can’t become
A team with victory truly won
A united cause, brought as one
Determination is the real deal, certified replacing the seal
Energy the people can feel
A new beginning, fresh appeal
A brand new chapter practical
Solutions that are workable
Greatness is achievable
Concepts are conceivable
A new journey to take, whether short or whether long
Keep on moving forward, embracing a new song
With amicability, we all will progress on
Let’s create a place, with a feeling to belong

Chorus
There is ever present change, many thoughts to rearrange
Together we can change the world, let’s rewrite the page
There are many forms of strong, yet we all must soldier on
Together as one, together as one
For each and every fight, is a chance to so unite
Every lesson in the wrong, it can be rendered right
There is opportunity, be the change you want to see
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
In time, beyond the impossible
Breaking through every obstacle
By faith from the intangible
Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Verse 2
To offer forth a helping hand, notions yet to understand
To be welcomed in a foreign land, disharmony is sinking sand
It’s clear to see, comprehensively, operate more tactfully
With wisdom understandably, let the innocent be truly free
A greater love that can’t be defined, to comprehend the passage of time
Appreciation truly is mine, reverence beyond the sky
Of nature undeniable, progress transformational
Advancing the responsible, of wonderment sensational
A single step to take, cultivated going strong
Keep it moving in forward motion, can we all just get along
With advancing harmony, on a road that may be long
Let’s now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change

So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Advancing with a point of view, discernment of what’s really true
Comprehension of what’s true for you, of new horizons to ensue
With a faculty of proficiency, movements of efficiency
With complex capability, time in motion, skillfully
Experience that can be applied, universal always onside
Letting go of innermost pride
Truthfulness, no need to hide
Application practical, let your goals be reachable
In him all things possible, passionately powerful
With awareness to awake, with weakness rendered strong
Keep moving in forward motion, articulate my song
With all tranquillity, uncover what is wrong
We can now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change

Breaking through every obstacle

Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Verse 3
Let actions be effectual, real change be perpetual
Creative with the intellectual, let guidance be instructional
Be rational, co-operational, shared ideas are practical
Measuring the mathematical, alignment formational
Aiming high reach for the sky
Given standards you can defy
With courage here the aim is to try
Moving forward, mystify
Far from the undesirable, feelings unreliable
Testing the improbable, reality is changeable
A bolder step to take, of directions moving strong
You can always go beyond the place that you came from
With realised clarity, we gain sense of the wrong
Let’s now create a place, where we can all belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Change may be uncomfortable, let fear be inexcusable
Steer from the reprehensible, payback is repayable
To so forgive, inexhaustible
Of oneness that is plausible, the broken rectifiable
Connected, relational
Associate and we can relate, don’t waste time, a pitiless state
Memories that we cannot retake, in position, get in place
Abundance that is plentiful, examples observational
Joyfulness obtainable, experience the seasonal
Of actions yet to take, we’re keeping the game strong
Keep moving in forward motion, wherever you came from
With avid harmony, we all will soldier on
We can now create a place, with a feeling to belong

Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change

Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Bridge

With mind-sets evolved, there is true insight
Let’s create a place, to truly shine our light
There is wisdom to release, to regain our inner peace
Together as one, together as one
Compassion in the land, with a heart to understand
A true united force, let’s lend a helping hand
With due simplicity, re-establish harmony
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
True change may be uncomfortable
Yet it is unmistakeable
New steps that are approachable
Of thoughts from the conventional
Mindful and relatable
Hopeful and aspirational

Verse 4
To go beyond, no greater time, reclaim your light it’s time to shine
In relaxed mode we will decline, natural gems can be refined
Branch of the vine, be aligned
Masterpieces of design, purposed for potential prime
Stand in line, for such a time
Become a part of the solution, let’s create a revolution
Educate the institution, truly merge into a fusion
Reduce the confrontational, join the inspirational
Movement motivational, achieve the aspirational
The journey will be great, endurance may be long
Keep moving in forward motion, can we all just get along
With solid harmony, a team can become strong
Let's now create a place, with the option to belong
Of problems to be solved, of all the games to win
If the foundation is laid, by then we can begin
A sense of harmony, let's take the vision on
Let’s now create a place, where the people can belong


Let’s begin and start a new change
For in time we truly can change, subtle change, ample change, some folks just ain’t trying to change
Aim real high towards the change
Constant force, there’s always change
Release control with all the change
For yes in time we can truly change
Smaller change, greater change
So much here to rearrange
New concepts are hardly strange
Stand united welcome change
Restoration welcome change
Conservation bring the change
Re-establish forward change
For yes in time we will truly change

Chorus
There is ever present change, many thoughts to rearrange
Together we can change the world, let’s rewrite the page
There are many forms of strong, yet we all must soldier on
Together as one, together as one
For each and every fight, is a chance to so unite
Every lesson in the wrong, it can be rendered right
There is opportunity, be the change you want to see
Let’s set ourselves free, let’s set ourselves free
In time, beyond the impossible
Breaking through every obstacle
By faith from the intangible
Objects, they are exchangeable
Yet lives are irreplaceable
Real change is attainable

Verse 1
Riding forth on the freeway, yet with somewhere to go
No retraction of footsteps, I'll take control
With not a second to look back, taking hold of the wheel
Express - with no complication, a new force is revealed
With no distraction on my time, my change is here

Chorus
Oh, my change is here
Yeah yeah, a new force is revealed
My change is here, oh oh

Verse 2
The prospect of new horizons, to capture the sun
To welcome all new beginnings, yeah this change has begun
An incompatible season, a truly hindered flow
Of reasons present to move on, truly deserving more
To venture forth on a new quest, my mind is truly sure

On the way towards the best, no past is revered

Oh yeah, my time has come
Yeah, yeah, yeah

From way back to the single plan, to where it all began
Towards a distant land
From a room with a view, from humble beginnings to thoughts anew
If they would disapprove, retrospectively I had nothing to lose

Verse 1
With my future to win, to so boldly move and let the race begin, but for the shine to bling
I had to so forgive, for the real living
So let me testify, I surrendered the fear, so that my dreams could fly
With the opposed aside, I took hold of the wheel so that this train could ride

0.41
Bridge
I took hold of the wheel so that this train could ride
Dreams will come alive, if you can simplify
But you may walk alone, finding yourself in a strangers zone
But keep building the blocks
Building the blocks of the cornerstone

1.00
Chorus
Chase that dream, chase that dream, go ahead and chase that dream
Paint that scene, build that team
I'm already with you - seen!

1.17
Verse 2
There are certain gems that are hard to find, to forgo the plan is to undermine
Determine steps to become aligned, to master the plan may appear sublime
To aim for the sky may appear suspect, but this is your dream, above all protect
The memories fade so go recollect, mistakes are made to become correct

Forgiveness leaves no thoughts on file, restoration is to reconcile
Time is a healer - it may take a while, restoring the youth of your inner child
Certain steps may be rendered slow, the cream of the dream is more wonderful
Turn off the screen and now visualise
Created as a lie, may you realise

Created as a lie, may you realise
All true visions come on time
Now chase that dream, with new conscious eyes

As was written, on Mount Sinai

As Moses stood on high, commandments of virtue

A shower of blessings, to bestow upon

As for the people, they adhered not

Unguided minds, an idolised calf of gold

Yet to unfold, in a moment of anger

Stones ****** down, sin was all around, though forgiveness abound

Two further tablets, inscriptions anew

Early on the mount, forty days and nights

At one with the father

Both food and drink – the absence of

From such a return, proceeding down

A glow of brilliance, radiant face

Of whom could stare

Dispel at once

Covering veil

Of such commands, in accordance with

Prosperity stands

To stray from the path, affliction coincides

Worship the Lord

Assemble the Tabernacle

With sacrificial offerings, designated ark

Glory be filled

A time to remain

The cloud has arisen

Journey on

A life like this

Truly influential for me to write this

Articulated thought of a musical mind

Dictionary defined, deal disseminate

A sky with no limit, called to innovate

Metaphorically moved, so to resonate

Artful reflectivity, relational domain

Holistically original, critical acclaim

Chances taken before they pass

Grasp and empower – it will all make sense

A find of forever, together we rise

A rock to pass, shoot for the stars

Comprehensive bars set to bridge the divide

Land on common ground, a synthesized sound

A question with an answer, you would be that call

A lyrical league, facets of skill

Dexterous dimension, unequivocal will

The resounding Wright to shine your light

A light that shines, expression – insight

The core beginnings of a noble dream, of what would seem, foundations laid

With skills attained, such talent emerged, yet still submerged in discovery

Become what be, to demonstrate, independence taking shape

Cross-country weather, so partake and so awake receptive minds

A watchful teacher realised, true potential, born to run

Of motivation so begun, the time had come, the race was won

With thoughts aside, the skill, the stride

Set the challenge, pursuits to pick, a desire to run would surely stick

Seeds of inspiration, an opportune time, yet to behold

Set to unfold, to make the grade, the army trade

Demonstrate ability, join adventure, climb the course

Years of service, tested trials, ran the miles and set the pace

A choice to face of prominence, the passion to take precedence

Discovered star, back on track, all set, attack, assume the plan

Full circle to where it all began, go the distance strength and speed

Destiny awaits, kick for home, continue straight, due applause reverberate

Realisation of a vision, go for gold with dynamism

Setbacks seen and overcome, double Olympic champion

A discipline of due success, professionalism ‘be the best’

Focused victory, a mark in history

Accomplished gold with heart and soul

Broken records, broken mould

To govern at large, with depth and reason

King Darius ruler of the kingdom

Presidents for a land of size

The king thought Daniel to be wise



Princes appointed honourably

Filled with growing jealousy

Daniel served so faithfully

Others watched him carefully



Faultless find, a call to stay

Devotion daily, time to pray

A plot to have him done away

Of treatment in a wicked way



A king with pride deep at the core

Presidents helped to plan the law

For no requests of thirty days

Carried forth, unrighteous ways



Such flattery, from trusted men

From Daniel’s prayer – into the den

A law in place could not be changed

A callous plan they did arrange



Into the pit, sat unreleased

Sealed mouths of savage beasts

For God knew they were guilty

Daniel saved and rendered free



Injustice that was ensuing

The truthful case of wrong-doing

Into the pit, the men of wrong

For there the righteous don’t belong

Beautiful butterfly, once encased

Emerging open, world to face

Bold, dazzling butterfly

Spread your wings, release, defy

Blend amongst the coloured flowers

Resting through nocturnal hours

Basking balanced blissfully

Blossomed nature blessed and free

Soar beyond the boundary

Transformed so dramatically

Breakaway beyond the sky

Brush of brilliance, mystify

Beaming colours of fresh appeal

Dazzling butterfly, so surreal

When light has ceased to shine

With answers yet to find

When others are unkind

With challenges of mind

To stumble or to fall

When progress starts to stall

When rivers cannot flow

With ebbs that lay shallow

When rendered left behind

No reason or a sign

Deserted unclear place

A yearning to embrace

A friendship to abound

Where fullness can be found

Where none can separate

My heart will elevate

Where I can so rely

Where joyful eagles fly

In awe of such surround

It glistens all around

A trust of which to lend

My dearest ever friend

Oh how my mum is special to me, not only because she prepares my tea

The way she sings so happily, she’s who I’d like to grow to be

She’s so sincere a heart of gold, with loving care her arms unfold

Yet longing for those days of old, new-born gift that she did hold



A soft whisper, a gentle tone, with her love I’m not alone

On days away the first to phone, that loving place I call my home

Such gentle strokes to comb my hair, she’s attentive and so fair

Her sheer presence, no house bare, the day’s she’s helped with clothes to wear



The wonder of her thoughtful gaze, the hope she kept a child to raise

Seasons new, a cherished phase, contained in her humble ways

Wrapped in warmth just like a glove, watching over from above

She glides across just like a glove, that ever special kind of love

A graceful time of ruling

Appointed judge

Ruler of the people, keeper of the land

In a place of promise, Israelites reside

As the year draws near, voyage to Shiloh

Called to worship, offer your sacrifice

Here Hannah would pray

To grant her a son, Lord have your way

A solemn request

To ask of God, an answered prayer

Arrival of Samuel, so to dedicate

From a time of birth, till weaning transpired

His time had come

A due journey to the high-priest

Reflections of the temple

Eli saw she had prayed

A promise fulfilled

Clad in garments of white

Peace be still

Samuel shall stay, Samuel shall serve

In the ministry of the temple

Of valued worth

A vast expanse, no word in sight

A divine being, created light

Darkness fell as time passed by

Becoming of a bright blue sky



Of the deep, where water flows

A barren land of earth arose

Yet to behold, yet to bestow

The flowers, trees and herbs to grow



Moon and stars, a bright away

A blazing sun, divide the day

Creatures, fish, birds with wings

Creator of all living things



Animals made, great and small

The breadth of life, he made them all

A worthy soul for the living

To work the land, worshipping



Created good and wonderful

Of help to find so suitable

To grow in trust of faith – believe

A wife for Adam, namely Eve



To multiply, a land to fill

Peace on Earth, a divine will

Rest upon the seventh day

Guided through and shown the way

I stand so tall and slightly lean

The sharpest creature ever seen

My t-shirt boldly has a rose

I have a much lengthened nose

My stringy arms I wave and cheer

Yet I have just one small ear

My rounded mouth looks like a ball

My little left foot is so small

My right foot is yet rather big

My fingers are just like a twig

I’m wearing very spotty shorts

My shoes have crosses and noughts

My teeth though crooked always please

I have awesome knobbly knees

There’s many big and many small

Yet each amazing, one and all

The descendants of which, numerous in size

Yet in such a land, a king would arise

To create slaves and disturb peace

The more he oppressed, they would increase



The harshness of the king’s command

Do away, sons of the land

The anger of the king would grow

Into the river, ordered to throw



Beyond the plight of wrongful deeds

A cradle lay among the reeds

His sister stood yet to abide

Concealed by the riverside



Ever near, the daughter’s king

Heard the cry of suffering

Little child a mother laid

Gave compassion unafraid



The pity that could not evade

A Hebrew woman, princess bade

Abandonment would be adverse

Mother called to take and nurse



A time of blessing to remain

Provision of a rightful name

Brought in age to Pharaoh’s daughter

Moses drawn out of the water

Of twelve disciples chosen

Assigned to greater work, toward the mountainside

Singled out from the multitudes

To them he preached, het others reached

To thus revere, with ears to hear

The voice of reason and that of truth

He preached the sermon, on that day

With love forever more, for blessed are the poor

Hardened hearts confound, undeserved are the proud

The righteous so to speak, a given kingdom to keep

The humble, they that mourn

That of grief that of sorrow, comfort to the weary

So blessed and do belong

The meek of earth inherit

Afar from thoughts of discontent

Ye their thirst for righteousness, to God do they repent

For those who are pure in heart

The Lord of which they’ll see

For those who care and trust in him

A life lived humbly

The rock is their foundation

Set apart from sinking sand

Of spiritual obedience, of virtuous commands

Vertebrates with feathers and tails

Reptiles with their shiny scales

Birds of which that range in size

Returning cycles that comprise



Solid seal, protective shell

Danger near, seek to repel

Contained therein with varied roles

Porous eggs of tiny holes



Nest of twigs, eggs to hide

Incubate the birds inside

Predators across the land

Hiding place beneath the sand



Born to hunt, equipped with age

Acquired mate, there to engage

Age’s grand of which to reach

Return journey to their beach



Storks upon the solid sticks

Within the nest of feeding chicks

Frozen wasteland of no nest

Penguin pouches, eggs to rest



Giant fans attract a mate

Tail feathers, peacocks shake

Birds of tropics, colours bright

Such a ray of sheer delight

Make time for those who deserve you

Seek knowledge that prepares you

Select the friends that uplift you

Trust the love that adores you

Travel the world, it’s an opportune time

The world is here to embrace you

Cool droplets of dew, morning grass made new

Resolutions for the righteous

Drink of the living water

Flowing from the throne of God

A sanctified stream

Running through, running over

Bath in the overflow

Transplanted, transformed

Radiantly renewed

Ever-green, ever-new

A ray of light of readiness therein

Renewed realisations

Reassured restoration, revitalization

Gracious refinement

Rejoice in season fruits ever-bearing

Of blessings unending

Relished in your goodness

In a reservoir of peace

Resemblance of trees

Ever strengthened, ever-green

Fortress on high, stands fortified

Tower of the valley and countryside

Bow and arrow, sovereign sword

Comfort chamber, homely lord



Magnificent halls of grand prestige

Throughout the ages castles besieged

Guard protection, tall high tower

Stronghold defence of such great power



Order of the king, show loyalty

Rebellion against the royalty

Blacksmiths, merchants, products sold

Working life for adult role



Wealthy lords and active knights

Poor pheasants of lesser rights

Assembling of the scaffolding

Labours loading, strong building



Distant castle stands remote

A gatehouse, keep, chapel, moat

Conquered lands, mass invasion

Rebuilt towns of restoration

Unhampered velocity, flow of continuity

Selected autonomy, explore your philosophy

Treaded geography, to grasp empathically

Of no ambiguity, to reason amicably

Of no accord, nonsensical

The freedom just to be



Desire ambitiously, of difference unusually

Give access academically, promotions periodically

Acts of kind sporadically, improvise remarkably

Caring sentimentally, peacefulness tranquillity

Of one accord intentional

The freedom to be me

Blueberries, bananas, apples that fall

Berries and pears, we love them all

Fresh rainwater, summer heat

The part of plants that we can eat



Inside the fruit, contains the seeds

Found on bushes, grown on trees

Tomato plants, of heights will rise

With soil and compost, fertilise



Seeds we scatter, seeds we sow

All around the world they grow

Celebrate at food events

Cities, countries, continents



Supermarkets, stalls be manned

Frozen, dried, fresh or canned

Varied fruits ripen with time

Fresh fruit salad, shall we dine



A complement of any meal

Fruits to blend and fruits to peel

Expectations to surpass

Blended poured into a glass



Garden fruit and fruit in tins

Daily fibre, vitamins

Large vineyards, where growers take

From tiny buds, to blossomed grape



Strawberry smoothie, raspberry jam

Tomato sandwich, cheese and ham

Assembled fruit upon the plate

Master-chef provide your rate

The evolution thereof corresponds with us

Expansion likewise

Enabler of movement, our fundamental support

Protection for such living things

Joints and muscles – we limber on

Muscle contract, muscle relax

A framework within

Exoskeleton outside

So ribs protect – heart and lung surround

Skull protect – shield the brain

Where two or more join, so joints comprise

A fundamental function

A vital role to play

Solid and strong, yet spongy within

Inner bone marrow – tissue living

Small bones of the inner ear

Larger bones increasing gear

Leg bone, arm bone, rendered to walk alone

High bone, thigh bone, ever so required bone
