A writer? One who will wax poetic
Arrange the words and facts magnetic
Stir the ethers into a shape
The lips from stiff to agape
Bring together all the years
Bring the strongest one to tears
Hope to the weary
Trust to the leary
Just in time, lift a pen
From lonely dim lit den
Shine a light into the dark
In cold and damp ignite a spark
Comfort delivered to a need
Oft not ever took to read
Whether or not a soul relate
Never need negotiate
The idea that blows through the ages
Forever jotted on endless pages
Not for glory, nor put under sod
But to help extend the hand of God!

Unspeakable
Enter the void, the eternal spaces
See the blank look on the faces
Listen to that which can be extricable
That which is known to be inexplicable
Clamor to know or ignore instead
Words from the living as well as the dead
Not a common sense is bided
Something beyond perchance ignited
To know a neutrino of what exists
Beyond the table we pound with our fists
Of ethers, of clouds, fog and mist
Without which nil could ever exist
Coming with birth and decay
The grim reaper lights the way
Here no season, pagan, or vernal
Believe on the One, this is eternal.

The Eternal I That I Am
I didn't tell anyone of my experience for the longest time. It was because I thought they would think I was crazy, or that I was lying or making it up. I was only 12 years old when it happened. It was the beginning of a lifelong question that never seemed to have an answer.
After that day, I knew in the depths of my being, that I was not this body that people see, and came to know as me.
It was the day that the eternal touched my consciousness to remind me of who I am. As I floated up near the ceiling, I looked down on my lifeless body below. It was very brief, as I quickly returned bringing animation back to my body. Once again, I looked at the world through these physical eyes that were the only things I had known, until now. Now I knew something different, I wasn't sure what it was, but it was eternal.

Love Too Late
If you don't love me now,
It will be too late.
For destiny will unfold,
When you love me then,
I will know that you never loved me.
If I am blinded by your beauty,
I may not care.
But I will know,
You never loved me.
When I rise to the glory of God's creation,
Everyone will love me,
But it will not be the love I wanted from you.
I wanted you to look into my soul through my eyes.
I wanted you to watch my lips,
And long for a kiss.
You didn't even hear my footsteps drawing near,
You didn't see my shadow disappear.
When everyone loves me it will be a blur,
And you will melt into a tie dyed tirade.
When you were a distant dream
I adored you
When it is too late I will wake from my dream,
And you will be gone.
It will be too late.
For destiny will unfold,
When you love me then,
I will know that you never loved me.
If I am blinded by your beauty,
I may not care.
But I will know,
You never loved me.
When I rise to the glory of God's creation,
Everyone will love me,
But it will not be the love I wanted from you.
I wanted you to look into my soul through my eyes.
I wanted you to watch my lips,
And long for a kiss.
You didn't even hear my footsteps drawing near,
You didn't see my shadow disappear.
When everyone loves me it will be a blur,
And you will melt into a tie dyed tirade.
When you were a distant dream
I adored you
When it is too late I will wake from my dream,
And you will be gone.

Blessing
Blessing...
See the blessing, know the blessing.
You are in the pouring rain, but it is not water.
It is God's loving grace, peace, mercy, strength, joy, and all of the good that can be wrest out of material life, infused with all of the goodness and insight into the heavenly realm.
So, with blessing raining down, do not use an umbrella.
Accept God's love, as it is said in scripture, "Be still and know that I am God".
I argued, my argument carried no weight but was a burdensome load, a painful suffrage, a loathsome existence.
"Know God-Know Peace, No God-No Peace" comes to mind.
It is true, and I "see" it everywhere now.
It is as obvious as ice being cold and fire being hot.
It is faith, praise God!
Accepting God is painless, resisting God is the sole cause of all pain.
The light of God is so bright I cannot deny, and the darkness cannot exist in its presence.
The "J" Man has come to set the record straight, follow his lead and you will be resurrected from the darkness. You will be raised from the dead.
I'm f-ing serious!
You are the walking dead if you have not accepted the 'light of the world' into your life.
Do you understand?
"Believe on me and you will have everlasting life", and "the price of sin is death".
What is sin?
It is resistance to the consciousness of and reverence to the Creator, the belligerent denial of It's existence.
Let the light into your life and you will be saved.
"If you think you know, you do not know as you should know" is from scripture.
This is not just talking to you, it is meant for everyone.
So, when someone tells you they know something about God, Jesus, or anything other than material life, take it with a grain of salt, because scripture says they do not know.
This is why people are turned away from the beauty, joy, peace, comfort, and the love of God.
And the world is plunged into darkness as the result.
When the way of the world angers you, know it is the way of the world, not the way of God.
Know it is the way of denial of the Creator, know it is the walking dead.

FEAR NOT, BELOVED
You came to me in my dream last night, so I know you exist.
You did everything I've imagined for me, even what I thought I had missed.
In decades of time you have been erased
From the hopes and dreams fleetingly chased.
I saw you so clearly by the edges of dawn
As I slipped into slumber afore the alarm.
There was no doubt in my mind that you are the one
Created for me like the gift of the Sun.
Now I know some of what is meant for this life
That if I find you in it I will have found a wife.

How To Meditate
When the air is very still, not even the lightest leaf will move. On New Years Day at 6 am it is very quiet on the streets. When I wake up at 5 am, prop my pillows against the wall and sit up in my bed, it is calm and quiet. This is when I do my morning meditation.
There is no set method for meditation. Webster defines the word meditate, "to engage in thought or contemplation" and "to plan in the mind, intend". So, it is not some mysterious activity reserved for yogins. You aren't required to contort your body or hold your thumb and index finger in a circle while resting your wrists on folded knees. It is helpful to be relaxed however, and to be in an environment with little or no distraction. This is because the act of meditating is intended to clear a path for new or inspiring thoughts. Or, to give oneself insight into ones spiritual path.
Many of us have numerous thoughts flittering around in our heads, and it is difficult to turn them off, or to direct them in the way we would like. With practice, it is possible to have control over the thoughts that you entertain in your head. This practice is meditation. It is a practice of emptying the mind of thought. Try to not think of anything. Close your eyes and give it a try. Most likely it will be impossible. If you are lucky, you may be able to do it for a second or two. If you have practiced this, you may be able to do it for longer. The idea is to relax and let you mind go free to find a higher vibration than this physical reality. It is your own path and can be developed in your own way. But, certain practices can prepare you to have better results.
My house has a front and back door and a living space in-between. When a knock comes at my door, I can decide if I wish to entertain my visitor as a guest or not. I don't just allow anyone to walk in my open door and fill my house up with unwanted guests. This is how we must consciously monitor our mind. Thoughts are different than people though, they can float right into our heads, this is where the back door comes in handy, they can float right out. If I am aware, an unwanted thought can be escorted away. If this sort of thing is new to you, it may take some effort to do, but it is well worth the effort. The result is more peace of mind. There are many thoughts which are less than desirable, let us look at a few of them.
Fears, negative thoughts, morbid reflection, guilt, remorse, resentment, etc. If you are allowing these type of thoughts to occupy space in your head, you will need to escort them to the door and give them the boot before you will be able to achieve any kind of worthwile meditation. It may require some practice if you are used to harboring these type of thoughts. If you are willing, it is possible. Meditation clears the way for ushering in the thoughts that will make you feel at peace, give you happiness, and create the kind of life that you wish to live. "As a man thinketh, so is he" Proverbs 23:7.
When are you going to tell me how to meditate? you may ask. Ok, here is an example of something to try if you are new to this. Sit in a quiet place, and try to make yourself comfortable. Relax and breathe steady. Try to breathe equal inhales and exhales, but try not to concentrate on it. Just relax and breathe effortlessly. Close your eyes. Relax your muscles, rest your neck and shoulders and your head. Now you can try to empty your mind of thought. If this is too difficult, then try to concentrate on a single thought. Maybe start by imagining yourself on a secluded beach or lying on a chase lounge in the sun, something pleasant. If unwanted thoughts appear, practice escorting them away and replace them with your single thought. The more you do this, the more you will be able to control your mind. Take your time, enjoy the process, be easy on yourself.
I love the time that I get to take for my meditation. That's all for now, peace!
