The crab scuttles along the sand,
The tide scuttles over the shore,
A lifeless jellyfish washed up by waves,
In its seaside grave, forevermore.

Dolphins jumping out of the the water,
Over the read sun
Under blue blankets of waves,
On the bed of its horizon.

The seagulls look on and laugh,
The fishes listen and smile,
We will swim in the shallow sea,
And then walk for a while.

Watching the ships return from their voyage,
As they sail slowly into the marina,
The sailors walk by us - nodding-
Into the café brimming with sounds of a concertina.

We stay there 'till the sun's daily death,
In the crowed café under the moon,
And over the skull session, you asked in my ear;
'Shall we leave later or soon?'

It doesn't really matter much to me,
I ask you what do you think,
Taking the endmost of wealth from my pocket,
It is enough for one last drink.

Now, the sea-turtles are gone to bed,
The seagulls, away they have flown,
Drink to health and stub out that cigarette,
For it is time to go home.

None by all and all by none
I tripped into a cage
That held me back and hidden
From the world unclosing gate
I raged against it’s iron walls
I wedged against it’s *****
I tried to break, to faint, to brawl
But ended on it’s *****

Until a hundred years of seconds
Had flashed past before my eyes
When silently, an echo halled
Down from the other side
It pierced my shell and yanked me
It dragged me through the dark
And nearly teared completely
My endmost hope apart

But after all and none
I breached a new surface
That left me breathe and choking
In a long forgotten space
I catched a glimpse of fire scars
And touched a new domain
That fetched and mesmerized my heart
Into a another kind of chains

All are shaped in one way or another by this worlds twisted illusions.
Allowing ourselves sometimes subconsciously we fumble in and out of self appointed delusions.

If not careful, pressures in life will make to our detriment unsatisfactorily who we ultimately are.
Many though allow the squeezing to push them in a Godly direction, these of course will go everlastingly far.

To God almighty, all of us have untapped bright beauty deep within.
Mankind is made in his image, it assuredly is intrinsically well beneath the surface of our skin.

The most emotionally resilient materials as the earth, are our inward make up.
All we have to do is explore his word of truth with the proper tools, so as to wake up!

A lump of coal has brilliant potential although its dull properties are only what are seen by the human eye.
But It’s endmost clarity will astonish the vision, once faceted, and hit by the sun in the sky.

Uncut diamonds we are, it’s what we all have in common with one another brother.
Should it really be a surprise this was always known about us by our Heavenly Father...

John 3:16

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
