~ Written for-the blind ... . ~
Those-whom cannot read ... .
It has a musical sound-track ... .
Voice lay-over ... .
It is a letter to-God/book ... .
Written in what I would hope ... .
Poetic form ... .
Want to see us-all-win,
couldn't be anything more beautiful ... .
To see new-eyes shine-you-see ... .
As they-run in wonder-and-freedom-joy ... .
Hope that it brings you this.
This would be a trophy I would present to the Lord as well ... .
Bless you friend.
Peace be what you-claim ... !
What you share, give for another ... .
In all-ways ... always ... .
~ Love ~ James ~
~ Where lady love has strummed her song,
bliss is not a fleeting thought ...
once her hope has realized its promise-
and danced with her for
but a moment;-
within the-innocent heart ...
of-a happy-child. ~
~
Went-about to-
pray-one-morning-
to-Jesus, and-as I looked around
and gazed in my way upon-a place a
ways, afar. I could-see-the generous gapes-
of the giving-trees, as-so-they are. Nestled
down between the broken valley-of Gods-open-will.
As they were-that day one-better sight for-me-to-see; and-
one-greater-pleasure-to-be-told-of, and-for-the-long-standing-passion-
of-my fancy; still. For yes-they are the one true rare beauty's-thriving-
amid-the-grace of this most-humble land. With the wholesome hearts,
and-outstretched-hands. As amid this, the latter-days of the summers-fall. They
stand in the light of Gods hope ready-to provide their bounty, to-whomever-
may-come to-call. For they are open-too, for the many come a feathered-
wing. To-bring-for-them, the-finer-nature, of a better-thing. With-one
glorious purpose brought-forth through the-generosity of-His open-heart;
one-so-softly spoken. There they live to serve-God-moving freely amid
the-beauty forever-evolving-in-the-open way, of-His-tender-love and-
devotion, offering-their solace, as-a-simple haven, one shared in
reverence for the wisdom instilled and-followed-so-humbly-
and-found to-be well, within the nature, of the raven. As
to offer, a sweeter fruit is what they bring. As to sway
they dance, as in their joy they sing, and for the
love of a life as so to renew. Another day has
risen up and shines upon them mid sparkling
morning dew; and if you were to hear them
then surely you-would have listened. As
gingerly they-move to-dance-and-
play in unison; so-as-to-shimmer-
in-their-way-together, as-they
glisten, and-as-for a gift for all,
agrateful-heart-is for them-
their-only-
passion.
As-it is-
in-their-
way, and-
by-our Lord-
God Jesus; One
so-forever; fashioned. ~

is the glory of God

~ "This is very well written and the concrete aspect of it is amazing. But damn it's a long one. I dont mind reading long works but with the added aspect of the shapes it gave me a headache concentrating so hard. And your AN is just as long as the poem itself, and so is the list of contests it had been entered in. Personally, I think it makes you look desperate to win a trophy with it, but I'll say one thing, it gets a lot of exposure that way." .. Scott ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ JWGoethe: Oh, the short attention span of so many. Poetry is meant to be expansive, to be epic, to sing unrestrained, and to encompass all. I liked this very much. Began much like a prayer, fervent, joyous, and celebratory of the wonders of a deeply personal relationship with God (one which I, however, do not share). Still, touching in it's voice, this poem effected me. Love the narrative details, the child's pool, the warm moments of personal joy, the morning coffee. Gave it a contemporary and honest feel, made it clear that this was a self reflective, and at the same time, universal tale. Bravo, and so well done. I am very impressed" ... . ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ and now At last! ~
~ At last! ~
~As a sweet rejoinder to Him my soul cries
out aloud, at last, as I marvel in the benignity of my Lord. ~
~ For imparting to me,
the liberal blessing of my life ...
and for giving me His eternal assurances;
and for delivering me ...
returning me to a veracious, and overt;
amenable position-of-hope-and faith in Him. ~
~Yes-for-purging-and lifting;
empowering and molding ... maturing me,
indemnifying me in His certitude,
and enduring graciously, the-horrid-penalty;
of my willful prides contumacy. ~
~ For ne’er to trammel the ambling
of my committed volition. ~
~ In the greater wisdom and grace
of their instruction I willingly did revolt
in sheer defiance before
His tender eyes of mercy. ~
~ (Amid the futile campaign, (of my own bitterness.)) ~
~ Distinguishing only those weary days apart
from the welcome and gentle fervor, of His embrace;
and so, through this detachment,
and His patient hands my heart’s longing
was brought to know compassion
and to be absolvitory. ~
~ As able today and thankful to Him to see. ~
Of the many roads I have peregrinated down.
~ Illuminated upon this narrow path,
of God’s all-inclusive way. ~
~ It is all I have come to truly discern, of an aeolian peace ... ~
~ and though reeling ~
~ amid the hour ~
~ of my dolor, I ~
~ still could not ~
~ concur with ~
~ those who ~
~ say "Passion ~
~~ is all together ~~
~ fruitless", because ~
~ mindful of this I know ~
~~~ the acrimonious of ~~~
~~~ heartalways become the ~~~
~ marionette of their abhorrence, ~
and incertitude, as do the passionate
in their yielding to this certain way of
blamelessness and overt position of
~~~~~~~~~~~ promise. ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I say if it were not for Grace
time would furthermore offend,
but for sheer delight the days
each one run on to the next
while illustrious visions of
the divine they fill each
moment, when I begin
to look for the lowly
reflection of loves
tender purveyance.
Furthering my resolve ...
and shoring up moreover this
truth, advancing the conscious
desire of Gods encouragement
for me, existent in the way of
this ever wholesome movement
and time of my transcendence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ As its validity moves me in my ~
weary soul deeper and deeper ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~ within. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stiring, the emotion,
sometimes you just got to make waves.
Love provides ...
its benignity,
true hope freedom and peace!
Lasting on ... no small time-forever. ~
Surender friend is endless-it-is!
To wake up everyday, it's a joy to do it,
taken along`side gentle cool winds
clemency abounds of grace
of chance!
God bless the man-willing to walk with him!
Knows Him as his faith!
~ "The ways of a fool, delight themselves trammeled amid closed eyes. ~
~ Believing what is seen in view of them alone is then the only view ... desire. ~
~ One that only they themselves can trust, in earnest". ~
~ "Honest Open Willing hearts abide able, lead them knowing this. ~
~ Are lead themselves by and through the tender eyes of grace. ~
~ Mercy enlightened illuminated high upon their gape". ~
~ "No more, contempt abides amid indifference"! ~
~ Peace e'er aware of this truth ... evermore abundant ... is the eminent beauty that Reigns" ... ! ~
~ Her tears-by the way of the run of her cheek do fall, they pave the way for the day for her dreams to be realized in Him, and as she cries, so-she-weeps. Softly casting-
her hopes, and only sorrow upon the quiet-whispering of-the-wind. ~
~ For to be told the willing heart she has always been known by God to be; no
sweeter of a love for-Him-to-treasure. As amid the answer of the soothing breezes, they gently caress her a she quietly lies down midst the tears so wanted and shed for the love of the ones she beholds, so dear, and waiting; within the joy of the Heavens. Lives the wisdom of God, her Lord ... Jesus. For each tear she has wept so foretold they were already in His heart this beauty ... envisioned, and being shed they were shed for His life one-freely-given, and with each breath she takes. She knows, with-His-love, one given, and given for all with a hopeful condition, and so to speak ...
she speaks aloud to Him now a grateful thank-you. As overwhelmed in all her
honest emotion, tenderly for Him, she weeps. ~
~ Yes she weeps. As she willingly hopes, and prays to Him, tenderly and honestly. For all the sick and hurting ... the broken that still do-not-know this gentle-soul so- open. Who-came-to-save, the broken heart found to be cold and alone, and-ever-deeper in fear, and crying out silently inside. ~
~ The-lost-one, of His faithful bride. Now amiss of the tenderness of those fonder days of youthful innocence. The ones that have been made certain in this, and have all but given up searching. As deep within, driven by God the remembrance of those honest days. Have-been-brought, to a quiet hush. ~
~ Yes those sweeter days when to be open their care was free; their thriving Hope, but-some-angry-wind-within, came and stole its even-pride and carried-it-upon its-way, and the tears rarely fall down now anymore, but when they do come ... they
fall as just a trickle. As-they-have but-all-dried-up-and the body has gotten stuck
and-stiffened. The heart barely-beating-now cry's out a louder and louder help,
me out of the dark, because so cold here, I am freezing, dying-to-be warm,
hungering- for-love a new life, honest-answer rescued and freed, forever-
awakened from the prison ... of my bewilderment, and yes, ever-aware for their-comfort and mending, innocence, completion, the return of their
open hope and the Joy of their certain freedom. In an even-greater
and greater faith in Him. So compelled
by this for them, she weeps to Jesus. ~
~ For Him to come, reign, in their hearts forevermore, and reestablish them. Yes to their once mighty position, of faith in Him, the faith, that when granted through His compassion, and ever loving Spirit, would come to echo in the sweet promotion of their peace, and her tears to be known. Are being heard by Him still today,
and have served to weigh heavily on Gods ear. ~
~ As her tears have convinced Him to convict and bring me to Him, and-I-know-God-now ... He is faithful, to her open heart; to the ever, faithful soul of her precious tears, and now, so am I, because free today. Here I am and weeping too, to Him, because of His compassion given, shown to me ... ! As I am overwhelmed in all
my gratitude, and because my Lord, God Jesus. He heard me, even though,
I could, just barely, cry. ~
~ He cried for me, and so yes as well, He saw her crying there; full of her tears and honest prayers, to Jesus for me, and the sweet fact, that somebody actually cares, and understands, cares-just-enough, to ask God to find and hold up and bring my hope back for me. I am eternally grateful to Him. For His Love and because tenderly, for Him, and for the many, and the few like me and for you. I know, still, she can be found there. Until the time He comes again. ~
~ Yes until then, she prays for peace for all, and a true freedom in Him. Yes for all
the sick and tired, the broken, and still faintly Hoping. That still carry the desire, to be forever open. As forever moved by this. To the Hope for all the world, to The Lord Jesus, in complete abandon to Him. Willingly, and for a sweet release in Him. For all, under-the-cool-winds of peace, their-blanket of warmth, tenderly, she weeps. ~

Sitting here mid the stillness, in this moment calm, quiet and
connected;- my-time-alone to-play-with-God, has come. As I dance
with Him through tender-woods-and-fields of green. Pondering-new
days joys beheld those of cool winds awakened visions of things unseen.
Cradled in His-arms of love waltzing-away as one amid-our-fond ascension,
and euphoric, cachinnation. Catching-leaves-together-with-pen in-hand,
as-they fall, while to the thrill-of my-minds-contentment, days of my
youth return to me, as the true goodness of their nature, I recall,
while scales of worry's slip-away and my-heart soars-free. Yes

Because-love exults eternally, universal
peace, and so I say Love- in its benignity ...
recuses all ... ~and perfect- and servant
in their fervent manner;- integrity,
receptivity- and amenability
illustrious and moreover
devoted in their richness,
breed thy greater influence
of peace throughout the years,
sanctifying themselves forever in
their innocence, becoming the
fortunate prize ... an altruistic
offering, and humble sacrifice,
given for all to embrace through
faith, a certain repose;-
and everlasting liberty.
While- clemency, oh Thy generous
clemency, emancipates-knavery's
tomfoolery, and suggested to me,
and granted as a wonderful opportunity,
grace ... is the universal proposition
dancing through time hand in hand
within the arms of love; relishing in
the promotion of her deliverance,
and so I say, when this hope of
my days reprieve ... has come to
pass ... beckon me on- to know
this- simple delight, and hold me in
Thy loving keep.
Yes bring me Thine heavenly
Kite to greet me. Secure me there,
and lay me down then-under the
assurance, and gentle comfort
of her wings.
Yes raise me up ... and hear me oh
Lord in my plea I pray. (("Oh liberate
me",)) ("Carry my soul off with her to
Thee".) (("Let thy love shower-down
(over me".))) So I may embrace for
myself, again, thine tender arms,
of mercy ... . ~
~ Precious-tears-offered in-faith ... fall, God-catches them places
them, within His Soul's heavenly-amphora, and with a sway of His Mighty
Hand, plucks-up His eminent-Knowledge-honed by Holy Quill. ~
~ Upright and looking strait into His vision for us
of the new day. Offers-the many consummate
opportunities riding high on the fringe of
His promise, granted in welcome. Painting
a Holy Journey,evolving amid a certain solace
and freedom. Moving on into veracious days with
Him lasting on forever.
Exiting beyond higher lofts of earthly skies and
rolling lands advancing in humble reverence descending
down from the openness of the Heavens. Rewriting yet
again; another-story in person for each
individual. Yes for all life; far-greater-and-even greater
still ... than the others gone before. ~
~ Carrying within it ... the treasures revealed of Him
strewn about found-soaring aloft the reality of Him
granted and awakened devout of their-surrender.
Whispering, of the latter days grateful
for the many gone by. ~
~ As tender kisses resinating from-His heart of-
mercy, grace-the folds-every-nook-and-cranny-
of the-lands. The-fullness-of His-consciousness-
the very-presence-of His-greater-hope ...
has-placed-its-sweetness-rising-up-
in its-essence. Within-lowly-laying-effervescent;
droplets-glistening-in the-
light, of His-joyous-rejoinder. Given
for all; in love. Carried-in the-honest-
taste ... the-freshness ... of the precious
morning-dew, and-in her-innocence;
truth e'er-aware and-seeing this-and being-

Glory; from the ashes of the past. A
new-day budding in the-wake of-its-

~~~~~~~
What-if-God's-
clemency- ...
reigned ... !
Was the sweet-
rejoinder no-longer-
hoarded of-all-of-us ...
was-instead, this promise-
moving unconditionally-as we-
all gathered together set out upon-
a common journey ... of-a-hundred-days.
As-one for-the-other, we-found this-justice,
affirmed within us faithfully keeping its word, as-
out-of-the-shadows we came. Beholding-each-one;
the day accepting one the other as each a child of the-
same, sharing in the warmth of God's-tender-hand of grace.
As this ... our souls one aspiration, mercy we gave for-the-
souls-security of another's-heart; fueled-by the-fire ... their-
peace our only ambition this honest hope, willing desire,
open-welcome-of-an-eternal-communion-with-
them and The-Lord-our-God ... .
Exulted,
abiding-
together-as-
one-with Him-
forevermore; amid-
the liberty, perfect-
unity-beauty yes the-
divinity ... Glory, peace,
of-those-hundred-days ... !
So-why-not, I-don't-know-
lets see, how about-we-all,
say yes-to-this, begin-today ... ?

~ In complete abandon... This season I am left here. As up and coming it is brought to me, the glorious nature of my shining Son, and so... so here he comes now, the purest kind of awakening for me, and the sweetest joy of my hearts delight! Our young one... Jamie... Just a running... Yes our little boy in those pull up Pampers. Just glowing, like the burning of the morning Sun ... . ~
~ As so, and so as well now she can be found to be as free... My precious Wife, tenderly floating around and just a humming within the kitchen, and as I go-in-just to kiss her... I know that I am well... because I can always be certain of this. The dear heart, she is breakfast cooking for us again, and like the gentle plains have been sent to rain. To move she always does so as to nurture us with the fervent nature of her love, and so now... So with it being the Lords day and all. ~
~ Today we are all going home to see Him, and to hear what moved our gracious Pastor... He has been brought to say... ~
~ For He too is a shining congregate in the blessing with us all, and when I am moved myself... I look to see Jamie. Our little boy wee small in those pull up Pampers. Fold His tiny little hands, and start to pray, and as so... So I am taken in... Yes by the very vision and pureness of His perfect innocence, and overall the sweet and ever certain, and absolutely beautiful. Enchanting tenderness of his fragile understanding, and the honest, and forever resilient way, the one so treasured by me now of the compelling nature of his simple and unconditional openness to God... ~
~ Shown to me here, as it is one now known by me to be the very beauty of His generous character. The one seen shining, on the no truer notions of his. Known now by me as well to be alive, and well, and faithfully thriving, and willingly evolving within the generous opening, of his tiny little heart. The one telling the story of the sweetness of His simple passion and desire for God and of the peaceful utterance and perfect example. (For all to embrace...) Of his selfless humility, and being myself in love with God and being overwhelmed and forever touched by this and by His presence. ~
~ So in awe of Him, and being so relieved. I begin to cry... As in an new way I begin again, to marvel, and again. I am left here... In complete abandon. ~
~ And so... so amid this tender moment with Him... I arrive home with family and little Jamie here today. The very same way that I left, and so I reckon... ~
~ I reckon I'll go out, about a small bit to roam and wander for a while and dream of this glorious life. ~
~ Yep! The one that is being sown for me and so very sweetly proposed, through the love of God, The one I have faithfully and wholeheartedly accepted now, and have been honestly granted I find! ((( Here.))) Amidst the precious love of my two wonderful children and gracious wife, ( and amid the ever fervent and fledgling hope and certain and ever endearing honestly tender, peaceful offering of His. ) Given to us all through the grace of His greater insight and loving ambition. )) As we all hope and patiently pray and await the perfect beauty! Of the wondrous blessing and promise... Of the glorious birth of our little one Jamie, our new born child. ))) ~
~ Or maybe, maybe come to ~think of it," I'll just quietly set here some and whittle awhile, and talk some more with you and our generous Lord today amid the beauty of the season. For a time... (and yes, and I say,) as I do know it will be for me " but only for a spell ". As I think of my fondness for him, and ponder the many splendid visions of hope I have with them and with God. ~
~ Yes, I'll set here with Him and with you, but only for a moment... " Yes talk some alone with you and Jesus! " Of my many dreams. For my new, and expanding family, and for me,and for Jamie, (((and the many a sorted thing,))) and yes I reckon. ~
~ To run off laughing still I just might go off alone again in time to wrestle with the wind. (((Oh but no, really...))) In my honesty, and my abandon and in the gentle advance of my heart, I say to you. For this is to be considered as well. ~
~ In a while I reckon. (I'll want to go back in to help Ma and real soon, and of this I'm sure.) ~
~ To set the table for dinner, and fold, a small lot of the laundry, it is my honest hope this time while I play and roll and jump around on the ground some for a moment with my two teenage children and our little Jamie, our young one, and feed my tiger fish and then do some of the rest of my chores, and so I have found through God and through the sweet nature and e'er-gentle heart beating well within Him. ~
~ It is to be mine, this! my greatest fortune! ~
~ To have a happy home now and the better part of my fancy set free. For so beset and living in the honest way-beside-me ... . By one! The tenderness given to me through the nature of His perfect goodness, and Grace. ~
~ Gods' love has finally found me, but still wandering, will I always be! Down along that leafy road. Perusing along, and out amid the mighty structures of the spruces with Jamie and the honey humble bumble bee, bumbling on by beside me, and never will I forget these. ~
~ As back when as to cast them... I set my thoughts of this day with my family and with him... Aloof the songs of the wind while in love I ran about and chasing them with the many little jumpy grasshoppers. (Always ever ginger in their joy!) ~
~ As they carried in their way for me, and within their spirited hands. My hope of this day! One I have found with them, and in view of God and in the ever perfect way, ( of all of this, (His natural beauty!)) ~
~ Yes Jamie could be seen, and as God is the one who has granted me this time to be alone with him. ~
~ I reckon for a time... Amid the certain proving breezes of the moment, and underneath this ever pleasant emotion of His love given to both my wife and children and to me, and amid the shade of my porch roof, and in view of the wandering sky's. ~
~ For awhile I'll stay, and plant my but down right here and sit outside for a spell... Amid His judicious graces and in view of the many tendering wooding leaf, and many effervescent, flower bloom, and take this time and a sharpened hand in this very simple pleasure as well and remain right here. ~
~ On this porch quietly dreaming of him! `
~ Yes for my new child, in my easy chair. Rocking amid this simple wood... For an honest hour with Him... ~
~ (Yes for a quiet while.) Amid the wonder of this glorious season, whittling my stick. ~
~ For I reckon real soon, this time alone with Him, well it'll be all gone, but it'll be all mine and a brighter hope for another time! ~
~ Yes a brighter hope for My family, and for me ... . another time. On another day with God. I reckon!

Benignity.
What is benignity?
So defined-for-me-myself!
For me it is my zest I-know now for God and life today,
my family. If it is all I can do to cherish these things. Friend
I will! I tell you I've already won! Baby's laughter reminds me ... .
Our Oreo cookie-looking-kitten named-pounce, playing in-the-
rain. How-everything from-birth has-remained so-curious to-
him. His resilience as his sister just passed, yesterday. As he lye there
with her, saying goodbye. So-I-feel God-brings us to this-beauty/
goodness, when-willing, everyday. Though even-we-
do, or do-not-pray. His-are

"True abhorrence and blind tendentiousness, devoid of conscience
strive only to nullify freedoms' humble cry-for-peace".
Love, patient,
proven;-
the memory of God's surrender, tested lay in question.
Mercy receives no rejoinder for her desire, unholy banter, rules the day.
Forgiveness, proper and forthright, in-your-hands-I-place-certain this hope.
Help me ... lift me up ... secure me ...
They rip and tare, at the fabric of my being,
breaking-into-the-cradle-of-my-beliefs,
shouting,
"where is your master,
he has left you, why do you still hold on"?
And I say to them,
"I believe-that-my-faith-and-I, walk-hand-in-hand-with Jesus, my deliverer.
So therefore ...
will-I-never-
walk-alone".
So show me beauty; true love beheld ...
butter cups thorny white milky
baby, budding roses-
playing beside dancing lilies
caught up in their passions,
mid the prevalence ...
of the new morning winds, undying
laughter ... unable to be kept,
purely acquired and sown of faith
through the fresh wounds; of our Lords
treasured innocence.
As so it is I feel ... the beauty,
you will feel, and too will see,
what it means to be truly falling in love with God,
furthermore, as you embrace the chance again ... .
To view, and live moreover as you look,
openly upon these things,
coming to know and accept the Joy that all God's creation ...
already knows, and holds up for you each day
arriving and maturing,
in the welcome found adrift
and proving within the honest winds,
offered, to you through the love of our Lord
swirled up today here, and now, again just for you ...

For I have felt-and seen,
that gracious, love exults the-very-
principals ... and generous surrender for
all eternity of their open-will.
~~
~~
Perfect innocence,
hopefulness and liberty overt
from the day they were born, raging-winds-
could-not-defile;- because docile, they remain
amenable, an endearing vision of truth:-
though however fragile.

No greater joy-is there for me, nor-
anything-more-divine, bridging-the-expanse,
between-bitter abhorrence ... my own
tendentiousness ... unbridled-greed,
a genuine ... injustice;- and
immeasurable peace.
~~

So taken-in-by the wheat fields
supplicating mid conciliate winds:- teeming
I tarried to view-them as I did amble along amid the
swaying stalks so very felicitous;- to be alive;-
and in-quiet reverence;- to my Father.

Touched by their faithfulness-
I offered again to Him-
for His promise-

~ Before when to pass on, I'm brought to lay my tired soul on down to rest in peace forever, within the open arms, of God...? ~
When before I was brought to know such
a day as this ... yes-once it weighed heavily
on me the thought; will it ever-come ...
yes and my pain, will it never-end? ~
~ While in the instance of my depression
I was unable to see the love of God well
within the waters, kind reflection; but
now; now through Him I have come to
behold and live to tell of the treasure
therein contained and abounding. Within
this joyous and ever humbling-divine day
for me of revelation, and so now; now-my-
joy-has-been-sustained. For when I am to
ponder the simple nature of His love in all
of its purity, and patient delights; visions
of these they skip across my mind from
time to time. As my eager-hand ... the
open-gesture, it moves to lay ahold
of the promise of another. ~
~ As this intention that I've picked up I carry
now and cast-briskly ... into the darkness of
the moist liquids, to land. As the-ripples gentle
gliding they come to move in freedom across
the vivid reflection, of this glassy-sheen, while
slowly they are brought to roll along evenly
with me-and-onward to-lay in peace-beside
the stillness; of the open-shores. As-swiftly my-
thoughts of God-and-life they move and-dance,
upon the-humble shallows deeper and-ever deeper
into the heart, of the waters ... and so my heart
here stands-in view of-this-and feeling fonder. ~

~ Oh how I live to breath this ... ~
~ Because I believe true-love is unconditional and is the
treasure so-very hard-to come by in this world,
today. Like the sweet sound of breaking the natural-
freedom-of-rhyme; and-
the certain-reverence stirring
in-the spirit of a home that lives only for this;
one pure reason. Seen now-and-viewed in-
the likeness-of the-orange and red-brown and-
yellow of-a-joyous-leaf ... blowing-free-in-the-
ease of the wind; and knowing the sound
of a new hope rising-to-greet-the-greener-
grasses thriving amid-
the-perfect-beauty growing in-plain
view of-the other-side of-the morning.
Stirring-in-the-depths-of-your-heart
and the-well, of your soul ... riding-
high-atop the puffy white clouds,
billowing-up-to-greet-the-light of-
Heaven. ~
~ Yes-those wonderful things ... like
the birds chirping fondly and the gentle
sounds of a baby's laughter, and slippery
wet little kisses ... given-by-the-lips-
of an angel. As you-hear a violent-
shouting wake up; wake-up-and-a-
tap-tap-tapping, on heavens
bedroom door. As then your
awakened again ... and then
stumble to the challenge of
not spilling the coffee, and
you dance once more
with your lovely daughter in
the kitchen. As she smiles as-
you-spill-it-and-yell-oh-no-tenderly
and you ask the wife if she could
grab the morning paper. ~
~ Yes that freaky tone of-a-squeaky-
wet-balloon, and the ongoing run-
of happy-little-giggles-that-fill the-
air ... rising to new heights in the pool
underneath-the-glory of-the-
summer-sun ... as your
young son splashes chlorine-water-
in-your face ... and cup.
And-so-is-love-the-prize in all its'
authenticity. Sweet-poetry ... . A true and-raw-
emotion ... boldly-running-and-
wildly shouting! "Hey!" ~
~ "Certain conditions-and-ultimatums are just fine, but-don't-you-dare-take my morning-coffee!" ~
Truly ... .
What-an-honor, this-sweet-grace ...
perfect a righteous gift-it-is.
The day waiting patiently-in the morning,
coffee-in-hand moccasin slippers-
waking-up-to-it-the-gentle-waterfall-awaiting-me ...
cascading-into-a-shimmering-crystal-
still-fresh-rippling, gently-churning-pool-of-dreams,
the many-wonders-of an alliterate life.
Breathing ... breathtaking-to be sure-it-is-a-chore-itself ...
it-takes-time.
Round and round-a throw-down-
in-and-out-tic-tock-goes the clock-
knock-it-down-drag-it out-

Kindred the swallows in-their-promise,

The-
start of a
new freedom-
is the simple vision
of Hope for all, of God. The
one prudence born, of the fruitful meditation
of His soul, softly, and simply, spoken. The tender
desire, found through the weary eyes ... the one
sweet emotion awaiting the humbled soul that has
been made certain, and is willing, and ready to remain,
now and forever open. For the willing heart lays open to
what struggle and strife this life, may bring, for the willing
are patient and aware of the awesome blessings that will come,
in this certain time of opportunity. For freedom for all is granted by
God and given the eyes to see the great passion of His Heart, rising and
forever evolving in the emotion of this Grace, and is brought through Gods
Hope to rise to this position, all through a life lived openly for all, and for the
one, and is seen to be one love sown in peace. The one condition of His that
is sown for all the soul, through the standard and goodness of Jesus' peaceful
words of mercy, found in the steady advance and revealed moreover, in the
nature of this, His devotion for all, shown through the perfection of His love
in faith ... and so, freedom is found, and does rest in measure, solely upon
the given surrender, the complete abandon to be found within the open
heart of the broken ... will ... so it is a willing devotion ... given the very
sight this season to see ... and the mind to dream. To take a jaunt upon
the merry winds of this gracious opportunity. For the peaceful pardon
and certain reasoning for this season ... is the one blessing given and
given for all ... of the Fathers foremost desire, seen by me now to be
the perfect love offered here to me as well, and moving through the
spirit of His wayward hopes emotion. The tender grace ... born of His
chance, and granted for all, and so it is intended to be, a simple
adaptation, alive and well and abundantly thriving, within the
heart of a new born child. To be alone, picked up by Him and
swept away, alive and wandering free. Tossed about and around
within the hands of the many winds of peace, and so away goes
the gentle chipper leaf, sent adrift, and amid the fall, apart
from the day of the perfect warmth shown to him in the
beauty and simpler days of his youth. For when to look upon
that day just as he was then quickened in the spring now his
spirit wandering is found again, recalling the scene. As now
he is a new hope for me taken aloft the care and gentle notions
of God and aloof the hearty welcome of the breeze, a ways apart
from the one so tender ... the ever tender timber tree. While
the love of the Father ... for him will sew a new place in His
heart as well, as will I, I know ... a perfect home. For I have
been granted the eyes to see. That yes, freedom
knows well these standards of the open heart,
and stands patiently in the shadows of its' wisdom,
and remains in the noble persuit of their perfection,
the ever tender nature sown of honesty and love
and humility, and faith, as it is this peaceful
vision, born anew for all each day, of
God's, Almighty Grace,
and now-
in view-
amid-the-
essence-
of His light-
this graceful-
dance of this-
peaceful heart,
has come to see-
that in the end,
this freedom,
really never falls far ...
far from the breadth;- of the tree. ~

Felicitous His hand lye outstretched to me the day when finally,

~ The reason that there are Hyphens "so many of them") is because I have a computer that speaks them with a faster and slower and higher and lower pitch of voice, giving a certain kind of ebb-and-flow to the work with a softer more fervent and realistic and consistent tone, when I use the hyphens and other punctuation in the certain places that I do, when in telling it what to do. Allowing it to speak in even a moderate voice if I choose. It sounds very free flowing when I hear it, and I can only hope that you will be able to here it in the same way. Thank you for reading and God bless you ... ~
