Closed eyes cannot save
The young and the brave
Cries of agony lingers
As enemies become victors
There exists no code of honor
As men destroy and conquer
Can heaven truly exist
Or are we caught in the midst
Of paradise and hell
Neither angels nor demons dwell
As the innocent are piled
We search for a Star child
-KJB

A choking and desperate voice reached my ear this morning. It was a friend. One of my best friends who lives in Michigan.
What she said was barely intelligible...

"Cath... Cathy... I'M D...YING!
C..C..CAN'T B... (cough) B...BR... BREATHE!
(cough. .. cough. .. cough. ..)"

Immediately I knew I had to be calm. I had to get her anxiety level down. In a very soothing voice I stated...

"Baby, you have to calm down. Sit down in front of a fan... slow your breathing. THEN I WANT YOU TO JUST LISTEN & AGREE...

I said a five-minute prayer with her. I first praised God for the miracle that He was going to bring about. For His miraculous nature. For his Power and Glory! I said I wanted to glorify Him with the miraculous healing that was about to take place!

Within 2 minutes she was breathing easier. She was not coughing as badly. And she could talk. Then I instructed her to go lie down with the fan on her and her back propped with pillows...

I called two friends to pray with me on a conference call. We all prayed together. We prayed like our own lives were depending on it! We prayed the Word of God...

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (woman) availeth much."
James 5:16 KJB

I called my friend 30 minutes later. She had been healed! She still had the congestion, but was calmly coughing that up too! She was beginning to blow the congestion from her infected sinuses!

So don't tell me God is no longer in the healing business. He most definitely is...!!!


♡ Catherine

Through her eyes
Watches as her soul dies
Looking towards an endless abyss
Searching for a needed bliss
Graves to her left and right
Showing no signs of fright
Reaching outwards
Known only as cowards
Begging and pleading
Shouting that her path was misleading
She continues forward, this girl
Her hair shade of a pearl
Behind her, past so bent
This is Jane's Lament.
-KJB

Swords clashing through the haze
Allies shouting with praise
Will they fall tonight
The most noble of knights
A grin graces their lips
Swords tight in their grips
Rushing forward into battle
Enemies mere chattel
Sky blazing in flames
Fighting with no names
Winning within mere seconds
Together, they fought as legends.
-KJB

The gracious dragon smiles
As they have been apart for miles
The girl so beautiful
So youthful
As they dance into the night
The moonlight oh so bright
The dragon and the rider
Both are one another's guider
Until dawn breaks
They will dance, no matter the stakes
Even when they are lost
Their paths will someday cross
And dance once again
Through snow or rain
Joined once more
Through the sky, they shall soar.
-KJB

The poor helpless child
Unable to bear a smile
Tears run down elegant cheeks
Her heart longing to speak
Sorrow is her destiny
Engulfed by jealousy
Her soul stuck in her own lament
Her soul so broken and bent
“Stop it!” She cries
Nevertheless, she is her own demise
Nothing is ever free
Her end is destined to be
Help is what she desires
But already gave in to the liars
Her souls, once like a festoon
But taken away by the crimson moon
-KJB

Gazing upwards forever
My side, you left never
Wrapped in your arms
Enduring the worst storms
Smiling up at the sky
Feeling the need to cry
Watching an endless ocean
So many different emotions
Watch day and night pass
The stars moving in chasse
Wandering innocent eyes
The world under a guise
It never seeming scary
In this state of reverie.
-KJB

The whispers of the wind
Fills my confused mind
Hoping once again
That you shall erase my pain
Ending this terrible nightmare
So much that it fills me with desire
That I can no longer trust
That this is love or lust
But even so
Like the dark elegant crow
I shall fly away
Searching every single day
If only you knew
I cannot forget the memories of you.
-KJB

The small girl so young
Her heart full of love it sprung
From the dark corner
She has become a mourner
Of this world she shall see
What her destiny is to truly be
Her features so fair
Her emotions shall never flare
A small smile gracing her face
Welcoming his small embrace
Matter not whether he is human
He is the spirit of numen
Showing her such kindness
Creating an aura of calmness
Do not grieve
For I shall never leave.
KJB

So many days spent
Sitting in this deep lament
But even so
Forward we must go
To the new day
And embrace every sunlight ray
We shall smile
And make our lives worth while
Before death calls
We shall stay together until the last leaf falls.
KJB
