"prayerfully" poems
The leaves crunch underneath
My bare feet that tread on a path
Strange, ubiquitous and unique
I looked up just in time to see
The eyes of the trees staring back at me
It was getting dark, I needed to find shelter quickly
Before I ended up in some giant cats stomach quickly
So i broke branches and bark and bound them together with the remains of parts from the crash
A plane brought me here, and thankfully the fire didn't last
I grabbed what I could, food, drinks, spare parts and some supplies
Hopefully, prayerfully these meager items would allow me to survive.
I didn't go too far away, as the crash was on the beach
So I stuck to the trees above the wreckage and above most predators eager to dine on me...

Incorporeal wooing
-- benighted brown study,
slow to bleed,
turning on its axis,
wintergreen leaf
in free fall,
when all alone
the butterfly escapes the killing jar,
to parlously play along
this dulcet bine,
strumming crura,
like Orlando to faire Rosalind
in the Valley of Hinnom,
"a hunger uncurbed by nature's calling,"
which prayerfully ascends,
asking for cotyledon to appear
by break of day/dream.

Time is my lover; my companion.
She has revealed to me the sacred secrets of the world.
Captivated by her beauty and insight I have become fascinated by her existence.
I came to realize long ago, in the eons of my metamorphosis that she is the only one I can trust…
I take solace in this.
One cannot be led astray with love and time.
The blossoms and lilies are blooming amongst the tightly packed soil of the terrene.
I am efflorescing as well… Time has revealed this to me.
My heart is a celestial body amongst celestial bodies, illuminating the darkness and chaos ravaging the Earth.
I am a luminescent ruby shining red hot with passion; I have a fervor that shall not be diminished by the vitriol of a single malefactor.
I am united in spirit and soul with The One whom has redeemed me from sin and death.
My light is my hope; I have power when I am shining as brightly as the Sun.
Epiphanies are ever present in this vicissitude of my life.
I prayerfully await more growth beckoning me from just over the horizon.
The Sun has beseeched me to sanctify His name through melodious song.
I become less and less of a vestige as each sunset approaches.
My spirit is my cocoon.
I shall pray for more efflorescence as the Great Day approaches.
My soul is flowering forth with ebullience and a deep tranquility that no one can take away from me.
I shall rest my faith in my cognizance of the might I possess.
Today is my rebirth and the Phoenix has bestowed upon me its benediction.
To have newfound life breathed into your nostrils; words cannot express the jubilation, the ecstasy that has arisen in my soul as a result of this.
I have been fortified and from this day forth, I shall no longer relinquish my right to joy and prosperity.
May the Lord of Blissful Joy awaken in you also, the cognizance of the might you possess.
-Amen-

Alas, Wonder Child
Born in the stable
Of my soul
Father God, I surrender
Giving You all control
Jesus is my Savior
Now and forever more
The Prince of Peace,
The Mighty God,
The wonderful Counselor
I do adore
My child is my soul
I must give to thy Father
Complete control
I must follow His plan
Prayerfully trusting Him
For He knows I
Do not always understand
When I feel lost
Depletion of my soul
I must go back to
The Lord's Prayer
Give Him control
He will deliver me from
Evil and sooth my soul

Though Life can be extremely difficult
and experiences can deeply traumatize us,
we can learn to control how we respond -
as demonstrated by our Lord, Christ Jesus.
For He alone is the hope of our glory;
when we show genuine, jubilant enthusiasm,
we naturally exhibit that “God is within”;
thus, we’re able… to bridge sin’s chasm.
This separation from God can be overcome
with daily prayer and faith’s resilience.
Become intimate with your “Identity in Christ”
and continue to reflect the Kingdom’s brilliance.
Having energetic and vibrant attitudes,
we see more opportunities brought to our door.
Via God’s Love and abundance principles,
His blessings upon us… continue to pour.
Remember! We’re blessed to be a blessing;
prayerfully develop your mission’s vision.
Search for personal solutions within The Word,
while reducing the likelihood of… bad decisions.
Author Notes:
Loosely based on:
Col 3:18-25; Eph 6:4-9
Enthusiasm is defined from a combination of Greek words: “Theos” means God, while the other two words are “En-Tae”, which implies within. So enthusiasm actually means the “God Within.” It is the shining source of goodness and respect for one’s self and others.

Her eyes matched her hair, and she watched me sit down there, at a small table.
There were two black tables small, with four chairs each, her eyes shut, she slept.
Her phone at her elbow, tension, burdened ****** features, i prayed.
I left her, I walked out, found a man bent over, a humble posture
At peace, bent head covered, his tobacco stained fingers laced, prayerfully.
He was a blue jean Jesus, beard bore the same stains as his rough hewn hands.
I passed by briskly and did not look him in the eye, walked down the street.
The blonde pole dancer next caught my eye, she wore short shorts that bared her thigh.
Her habit called, the street she knew, "No Fear, Little Sleep, and Need of Prayer"

The angel's nose is in the dirt.
His sacrifice apparently saving us to our grief.
He lies there broken for us, prayerfully still,
there for the sake of the children,
for the sake of decorum,
protecting us from the accidental,
from the potential risk of an angelic fall
crushing the griever as they stoop
to place their flowers.
My sister chose the flower arrangement
from the top table of her daughter's wedding
where the fallen should have been
and perhaps could have stood
giving a heart-felt and gently humorous speech,
offered a toast to beauty and happiness,
but instead lies emotionless
in the dirt.

Like Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Scherzo
You had a different movement with a passage of light that danced around my aura
Left me in an anagnorisis state; a realization.
Once so obscure so ambiguous, now became more clear
The idea of you leaves me floating in euphoria
I used to like when you were mysterious
But as I grow
As we grow
I realize that nothing is more exceptional
Then having the ability to easily read into your heart and mind
I yearned for your motives to become more visible
Because my attraction to an abnormal union changed
I now wanted love that was a bit more traditional, If you get what I'm saying.
But even if you don't, that's okay
It's just that I've never felt this way
Living completely immersed in our harmonious fusion of love
Blessed that our paths crossed leaves me with yet another reason to prayerfully thank Him above.

in my hands I hold
the remains of a gift
once freely given
and received unprotestingly
this gift, the only thing worth
giving. pure, whole.
the only thing to offer.
given willingly, prayerfully,
trustingly.
it was meant to be cherished
respected, protected.
nurtured and grown.
then my trust was betrayed,
broken, abandoned
now I feel I can never,
ever let someone promise to
cherish and protect me
for now I find
that all that remains,
are remains

This is my mission statement: To help those who have no hope to understand that there is hope, to help others to know that their lives have purpose and value.
Hopefully, prayerfully, my writings reflect this.

Satan is a defeated foe
although he continues to fight -
For we are more than conquerors,
as soldiers in God's army of Light.
His earthly authority has been weakened
since Christ now possesses the keys of Death and Hell;
so we're to prayerfully "stand in the gap"
as we in His Presence strive to dwell.
Our lasting Hope is embodied by Christ alone;
He died to prove His Love as a friend.
Willingly and sacrificially He laid down His Life
and invited us to a Kingdom that never ends.
Our standing in Heaven for eternity
will be forever reflective of... Final Victory.

A life after death

A giver is someone who devotes himself completely
Someone who gives of himself and resources freely
Not looking for or wanting nothing in return
Not even accolades is something that he yearns
A giver
A giver of your time
Time is the movement from past, to present, to future
It’s nothing that we can take back or something that you can capture
Once time is given, it is gone
Once time is gone, it cannot be given
A giver
A giver of your talents
Talents that you may not think that add up to be
The leader that God put in you and the leader that we see.
We know that talents can take you to a place
But it is your character that allows you to stay.
A giver
A giver of your wisdom
Wisdom that is beyond your years
But during that time you have learned plenty
Discipline, love, correction, encouragement, and humility
Focus on the mission and not the condition
Prayerfully you live by that every day,
Giving is not only what you do
But giving is also what makes you...you.

My current mission is at hand;
to fly away to foreign land.
Today is the day of my
****** flight,
In which I will soar to an
unfathomable height.
Away from all that I
have known.
A journey I must attempt
alone.
To gods of space and time
I send a desperate plea...
Allow me passage through
your ancient realms; please
grant your mercy to me.
This mission must come
to fruition,
Regardless of my final
outcome or condition.
As on darkened wings
I begin my ascent,
To wherever this willing
spirit shall be sent.
Till ultimately I will
prayerfully discover,
The most obscure secrets
of earth and self, that I
am gifted to uncover.

A book of poetry is a prayer book
Your Daily Office of verses and lines
Attended prayerfully if possible
But, yes, attended in any event
Wavell’s Flowers for your next deployment
Young Yevtushenko for the bus commute
Or a little volume of Pushkin pushed
Into a pocket past your pocketknife
Beginning with Matins, and all through your day
Make the blessings of poetry part of your Way

the shadow follows me around
some good intentions overcome
and the shadow rises triumphant
while I admit my weakness
vowing to do better next time
keep the shadow at bay
do not allow it entrance
and prayerfully ask for the help I need.
