Way
Following others
isn't always
the wisest thing
to do
Best to find
your own way
and do what's right
for you
Mister J Sep 2017
You're under my skin
Worming your way beneath me
Can't avoid your sting
A poem about an itch.
Something that won't go no matter what you do.
Just like someone who you can't just forget.

There is only a two-way street

For a human being

It is seen

With our ability

Of Decision-making

Either Heaven or hell will be

The place where you or I will dwell in eternity

Facts are simply this

We're born into sin consequently

Automatically

Separated from God Almighty

In His absolute nature, He is Holy

I am groaning, longing inside of me

To bring this message, to all who are perishing

Entrance into Heaven there is only one key

But the road to hell, the path is many

Read the Gospel of John especially

Chapter 3

We seek to please

Ourselves with human philosophy

And forget our spiritual need

The women at the well portrays this clearly

When Jesus began to speak

He revealed what is here and now

Is a passing of a breeze?

She agreed

And ask Jesus what you mean

Jesus said this water you will drink

And later you will come back again

But what I give is everlasting

If you believe

Spring of living water would flow out of thee
John 14:6New International Version (NIV)

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

In a broad kindred of spirits collide,
Too each is each to own and then we reply.

For where art thou darker days? Tucked behind us, spread like paste. Beneath a new chapter is where it lays.

A folding eyelid above beholds.
Temperatures swell, tempation creeps, weather is cold.

Are we not our own or do we just do as we are told? Again into the fold, clouds gather ahead, I clinch tight to my soul.

It's just that Im really not a good person. But I keep following this glow. Into the dark again I go.

A strange connection between what you consider real or make belief.
A thin rope dangles above from the fall that balanced and centered me.

For all that I appreciate and sense to be. For life finally making sense to me. Im circled by Death, teaching me something I have yet to be.

Echo knows eternity. A perfect gift from me to you from the lights of which you were meant to be. You are to your ability, able to be. Deep within your reach is where your meant to be...
Learning how walk on my own two feet.

A/The/My Way

I never knew I had a ‘way’.
And still it shows up da by day
Laws but felt, themes unmeant;
Through sudden fountains of content;
Through many offshoots but one road,
No signposts to direct or goad.
Still it is:
A kiss of fate though non-insistent,
Usually
An accident and serendipitous.

And because, and just because it is a whisper
I’ve no choice
But to
Tune into
And obey,
Swaying to its hinted push,
The glint of pressure
Nothing but a pure, faint sureness
And a pleasure.

                      ----------

Minutes past I ate three plastic plates of pasta.
(a pun-ny lie, but funny)
Now I sit with pen in hand
On my verandah, in the wind,
Thankful for not understanding
Karma’s muted law un-grand,
Inscrutable but suitable
To me alone,
One on her own
Within the schemes and actions of concern.

A way for us all.

In each moment, each pursuit
Improvise.
It’s nothing more than living Now.
Of course you’ll f---k it up at times:
Mistakes belonging to a human
As does dust upon a mirror.

In each moment, work or pastime
Improvise, extemporize.
You have encyclopedic knowledge
In your little life-so-far;
Gifts and talents, skills, capacities;
Experiential knowledge
You absorbed the moment you took breath.

If you do what I advise
You see patterns that transmogrify,
Patterns that will make you wise;
Patterns when you make each minute your device.

Despite anomalies,
Quirks, and incongruities,
This the key to bring to light
The star you are,
Becoming brighter with each gesture.

Make a pact with you yourself
Put old habits on the shelf of things gone by.

You improvise,
You start to fly.
By and by
You are the sharpest, deepest, most profound and visionary
You alive.

My philosophy, my way of life

A lost soul on her way
to a path full of dismay
When will she ever see
a path to be free?
Just when?
