OVER  THE RAINBOW

A "WaterWorks" Display, even yet today,

Pelletting droplets of Rain dances to say,

To replenish the earth is God’s Way.

Then, out from behind a cloud once dark,

A ray of sunlight as once did shine on Noah's Ark

To remind "The New Creation" by means of this,

A Covenant Arrangement sealed with a kiss!

Yes, a light so bright,

Reflecting OUR FATHER S Almighty Might,

Produces an extravaganza of colors, journeying from here to there,

All our precious gemstones cannot compare;

A stairway to Heaven, bowed as an arch,

Connecting our world to his, onward we march,

To a place we have hoped for and heard of,

Our home, which awaits us, we're greeted with love.

Our brothers before us are already there,

Where blue birds fly without a care.

Harps chime melodiously to poetic rhyme,

Singing songs of no more sickness or crime.

Soft warm breezes of wind

Comforts and heals our wayward sin,

Myriads of Angelic hosts, so pure

Line up to direct and complete our tour,

For at the end of this Rainbow is for sure,

An Emerald City leading to Christ Jesus’s Celestial Throne

Where "In Due Time", yes, our "seed" will be sown,

Then all of Creation will benefit, and to all, God’s Name will be known!

GLORY POEM # 11

JOY

As I sit upon my bed,

by your divine spirit of what is read,

I find myself ever endlessly fed.

A New "Joy" has entered within my loins,

girded for battle, united in spirit

as with you enjoins.

The allegations of those who make their claim,

for them is the reason for which you came,

for us, our spirit and yours, a oneness, one and the same.

I'm motivated to write that which I hear,

words with peculiar meaning found within our atmosphere,

But just the same,  my pen is given wings

to hurry along the words to a song, as one sings.

This "New Song" I knew not, but now is made clear,

as when falling in love, one writes a poem for one dear,

this "New Song" is the poem given in melody of Good Cheer,

A song sung all day long to our God of wisdom, do fear!

THY HEALING BALM

May you extend to me your hand today,

that I may feel thy healing comfort come my way,

Thy Healing Balm to pour upon my head,

washing away my sorrows from which I’ve fled,

Now, a need for a healing all the more,

not truly knowing what’s next in store,

that I may gain the strength to overcome,

life’s unexpected surprises, never knowing where they’ll come from,

Please comfort me, please comfort me, comfort me please!

Please comfort all, may Thy Healing Balm our pain please ease.

QUESTIONS TO READERS

# 1.  WHEN JESUS RETURNS, WHAT QUESTION DO YOU FEEL HE WILL ASK YOU ?

a.    WHAT RELIGION DID YOU BELONG TO ?

                                          OR

b.    DID YOU KNOW ME ?

GLORY POEM # 9

OH ...SO BEAUTIFUL !

Oh....so beautiful through your eyes,

A place inside I've come to realize

that all's been said in your behalf

though appearances are "madness", many will laugh.

but, I alone know what you have given

a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

My mind ascends above to a place I know,

as you speak in terms of "Love" to friend and foe,

never will I again be the same

for I''ve entered into silence from where Jesus, himself came

a quietness, a stillness

allowing all to speak their mind in accordance with your "Name"

a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

What position can I possibly now take,

Now the gloriousness of what I see causes my heart to ache,

to bring to a finale all injustices which causes such pain,

for this again is why, you yourself came

for now "In Oneness" we walk

from the beginning to the end, listening carefully as you talk,

a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

No reason to argue, no reason to dispute,

what's put in motion must follow suit,

for not my will, but yours, do tell,

secrets from above on high, so mysteriously fell,

leaving traces of gemstones, glittering prisms round about

highlights of your wisdom and trueness, there leaves no doubt,

a "Jewel" Oh...so beautiful!

GLORY POEM # 8

LIVING WATERS

Our soul remains unavailable to the wicked one,

onward we walk toward you, my God,

longing for only you  this day.

 A New Millennium underway

bringing us closer to your New Day,

when all will benefit from your provisions,

that of a surpassing love.

A free gift, you’ve extended to us,

a beautiful gem floating, floating,

within the limitations of your living waters,

brilliantly arrayed within its surroundings

of a camouflaged background

creating an image only a select few can admire.

Waters all aglow beneath the mire,

hatred & strife mare this life

but soon, The Beautiful Thing will transpire

ridding the surface of its scum, its dross,

then crystal clear, all will be,

leading to perfection intricately ,

By your side, LORD, before your throne,

a grand orchestra arranged for this occasion,

Angelic hosts with their harps

strumming, strumming,

cords never heard before as we kneel at your feet

singing our New Song.

Gratification will fill the atmosphere,

Vindication will be known everywhere,

For your WORD ALONE, is our Living Waters!

Walk with us, your sons, until then,

guide our every step,

grant us salvation by means of your SON,

give us a measure of your surpassing Love,

that we may bring our gift to your altar pure!

Something lies ahead, we must endure,

Our mustard seed of faith, Oh so small,

but a mountain, by means of this, will notably fall

leaving some under the rubble

as your New reigning king, CHRIST JESUS, echoes a Mighty Call !

DEEP WATERS

ALLOW ME TO WALK INTO YOUR DEEPEST WATERS

ALLOW ME TO WALK, AS DID CHRIST, UPON THE WATERS,

DUE TO THE DEEPNESS, THAT I MIGHT NOT DROWN,

BUT GRANT ME THE VISION OF ALL THESE WRITTEN THINGS,

THAT I MAY BE AMONG ALL YOUR PRIESTS & KINGS,

THAT I BE WORTHY TO TAKE THE SCROLL, AS DID JOHN,

& EAT

THAT MY BELLY BE MADE BITTER & MY MOUTH BE MADE SWEET, 

FOR I LONG TO KNOW AT LAST YOUR MOST SACRED SECRET OF ALL,

THAT AT YOUR “FINAL HOUR”, I MIGHT HEAR YOUR MIGHTY CALL,

TO SEE FULFILLED THE MANIFESTATION OF YOUR MOST PRECIOUS SON,

COMING BACK TO REIGN AFTER ALL IS SAID & DONE,

TO WATCH OVER ALL DEVASTATION UPON THE EARTH,

BRINGING ABOUT AN END TO SATAN’S WORLDWIDE CURSE,

TO BE AMONG THE HOLY ONES SET ON HIGH,

FOR AMONG THEM THERE WAS NO LIE,

TO KNOW OF YOUR IMMENSE LOVE BEYOND MEASURE, 

& YOUR JUDGEMENTS GIVEN OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO ENDURE.

I BEG FOR THIS VISION AS GIVEN TO JOHN,

FOR THE LOVE YOU HAD FOR HIM WAS OF THE GREATEST BOND.

SWEET WHISPERS

Sweet Whispers, Sweet Whispers

speaking softly everywhere,

searching for someone yet who still may care,

unknowingly being blown from here to there

amidst an angry tempest of winds blowing our way

due to the heavy message it does bear!

Yet, there remains the thought of many who say

to the mind set of a generation now living in the Lord's Day,

Sweet Whispers, Sweet Whispers

of truth we are giving away,

Sweet Whispers so soft one must hush to hear

it's harpist strumming cords of melody to someone dear.

An innocent soul must still remain near,

but will they recognize the voice behind the whisper so clear.

Sweet Whispers, Sweet Whispers

singing praises in one's ear

of glad tidings and good cheer,

a comfort to all who will listen and hear

of "New" things to come, no longer will one fear!

 Sweet Whispers, Sweet Whispers

Sacred secrets sprinkled about,

to a generation in history

to whom is being revealed this mystery

of prophetic sayings now coming to a completion;

All get prepared for "Our Lord's" restitution!

GLORY POEM #4

MELODY MADE CLEAR

A journey from here to there

as you listen you’ll know where,

an angel takes us by the hand

across the ocean to another land!

Slowly, gently we sail through the air,

feeling the comfort of warm tropical breezes

through our hair,

leaving behind not even a care.

Our eyes behold a sight of astonishment, then fear!

Now, anticipation heightens as we belold a

miraculous brightness blinding us and bringing 

all to our knees to listen and hear.

As we shyly look up, our hearts are filled 

with a completeness, a happiness we’ve

never experienced as we’ve known it, ever, anywhere!

We reach forward and upward,

then

from “within” us exudes a “rushing” and “hurrying”

which again takes us into flight,

onward floating toward such an array of

celestrial light, 

a vision seen by John, 

there are no words for such a sight!

even the moon, sun and stars,

our earth’s delight,

cannot compete for they themselves are

in subjection under our King’s feet!

Imagine this and all 

his brothers we’ll meet.

GLORY POEM #3

TOUCHED

Many a day, it passes by,

so many thoughts, I stopped asking why,

Now painless, still, quiet loitering,

an unrelentless smile from within,

an invisible shield guarding me to the end.

A world in chaos whirling in circles,

A centrifugal force

keeping all on course,

a plan of the ages of which we know not,

But as for I, only in peace do I abide.

An invisible fence surrounds me

How odd !

I’m home.....untouched by outside forces,

Now insight given to a question I’ve not asked,

I’ve Been Touched !

I was told for I’ve known for some time,

But the wonder of it all leaves me in tears,

Not of sadness, or of fear, but of joy,

Christ Jesus, my Lord, my Savior,

In union as your heavenly bride,

I’ve moved along in such an unknowingly way

to finally be confirmed today,

I’ve been touched!

GLORY POEM #2

I JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH !

My mind is open and requires information.

It searches though out the universe,

from the beginning of creation.

My cup runneth over with anticipation

Of some small tidbit to lend way to a spiritual sensation,

The alpha and the omega, no beginning and no end,

This is our Lord’s connotation.

Once coming to know him,

Regarding knowledge about him,

There is no limitation.

I am filled up and flowing over,

Yet I am always thirsty, longing for more.

There is no end in sight!

I even dream about him deep into the night!

My love for him swells up as I read.

I long for his everlasting presence,

Within my heart, that I once again can breathe

His Holy Air from His Lungs into mine,

Leaving me feeling satisfied,

Saturated with his holiness Divine !

THE AMAZING THING

The beauty behind THE AMAZING THING

Is that;  when SOMETHING becomes Soooooooooooooooooooooooo Amazing
That it then goes on to become a blessing SO IMMENSE,

   Our minds cannot begin to contain its magnificence.

 We can only become statuses as we gaze inwardly in awe,

At the preciousness of this moment, now frozen in time,

And of its Holiness, now left behind,

That lingers like the finest perfume

Left over from royalty as it leaves the room.

A fragrance so unique all thought process does cease,

As its aroma gives way to its sweet release!

Then; miraculously & mysteriously the impossible thing becomes reality,

The Hope of the Hope becomes serenity,

Leaving the dream of the dream no longer just a dream.

We bow our heads to sanctify its celestial beam,

We weep for joy as we hear “it is done”!

At long last, Christ’s Love does overcome,

For in his Father’s Name, he causes to become.
