Why squeeze into the tiny paths
created by the society
Conformity can sometimes
come in the way of creativity

It does feel weird to be different
But if your heart dictates another path
Why then go with the crowd
Why open the door to a feeling of emptiness and unhappiness

The fear of failure or
the thoughts of what
would people say or think
could be a stumbling block
But the empty feeling of not
chasing one's dream is actually worse.

I don't crave love
I don't crave hate
I don't crave joy
I don't crave innocence
I don't crave what makes others seem so...

here stands a skeleton
of a girl who’s heart is all she
has left and in her aching,
that heart’s last beat will
be for a love only found
up above.

Lord please meet me here
at the foot of your cross.

I will bow down
right before you,
sing my praise
to your name.
For uou have done
such great things for us.
You have called
your heaven down
to the broken world below you.
O! You cleanse
me to the shade
of your innocence.
For you heal the world
after we broke it.

Lord please meet me here
at the foot of your cross.

There is power in Your name
It puts strength in the legs of the lame
It gives hearing to deaf ears
And puts words in the mute mouth
Your name paves ways where there's none
Your name is our shield and comfort
We are heirs of your promise
Your name is our everything.
Glory to God

A wise man is not guided by virtue of his own wisdom, but by that of wiser men.
Love that is pain, the unspeakable
joy of the heart, a transformation

and here in this world cruel of men,
it is to love that is to suffer;

And so when you love with all your heart
with all your soul,  with all your mind
with all your strength,

so is the suffering sweeter the water
deeper the well, dug into the earth
where walked the prophets;

But we can die a hundred times on the cross,
for there is no love that does not heal, and

blessed is this sky under which
such a thing as love blooms;

Risen, we live, when in suffering we die, loving
such is the gospel of love we contemplate tonight.
an Easter poem - its traditional for me, some of my meaningfully deepest poems are written at this time of the year...

There is a night to reflect on
as there is a day to celebrate it:

The reference is to Mark: 12:28-31, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+12%3A28-31&version=KJV

it is the aim of my aim

to live happy,get rich and marry

t o get money

that can't be counted

or loaded by strongest

to have children

girls and boys

to be strong, have boys

they will soon grow

become men and stood

beside their father

changing his defense matter

the enemy must be understood

they will speak at low

agree with their talk

and got draw

the great victory the girls

who married rich

and make their father up

getting him his wish

but there is talk

saying health is the aim

to be fit and strong live long without ill

die while you standing on leg

those are  good

the best is the calm

calm at your heart

love everyone

love your enemy

Spreading peace and happy

distributing smile and funny

making faith at your mind

that will happen only

if you obey

your God
happy is important
