Me, Myself and Eye
Eye need to challenge myself more often,
To a brand new level and degree,
So that Eye may better my craft,
And be sure of what Eye can be.
The matter shall be not too arduous,
Eye expect my vocabulary to expand,
At least make good use of my thesaurus,
Promptly close and near my hand.
All my goals are very doable,
Eye just have to reason out of the box,
Although Eye may not flow so effortlessly,
Eye shall try as a sly fox.
So why such a test and task now?
Eye have to be a more resourceful,
To get through any future challenges,
Eye won’t have to be so forceful.
Eye have to really workout my head,
Make good use of my all my powers,
Flex that muscle above my eyes,
Even though that may take many hours.
Heck that may take several days,
Maybe months, maybe even years,
But as long as Eye locate another way,
Success shall be sweet to my ears.
So be aware of the absent part,
That the current arrangement neglects,
There are always other replacements,
That just may have the same effects.
So be fecund, be free and you’ll reckon,
That the head can make assessments,
The encounter can even be wonderful,
Even though you may make amendments.
So go on and challenge yourself,
Overcome hurdles and take a gander,
Obstacles are bound to make us better,
To advance our keenness and candor.
Eye have attempted and worked carefully,
Taken on the endeavor just for a try,
Because one never knows unless we see,
Eye looked deep unto me, myself and Eye.
To a brand new level and degree,
So that Eye may better my craft,
And be sure of what Eye can be.

Fahrenheit
103.2°F/ 39.55°C
With me full drenched in my sick bed,
He murmurs, filled with a deep dread.
And cradles my head in his lap
As I still shake in fever’s trap.
Then weeping he descends in tears.
But all the same, I am still here,
I’ve battled hard between the years
I haven’t much time left, I fear.
But I am here a while I trust,
I need my faith in Christ, I must.
When things are bad the way is hard,
We walk and bleed as many scars.
My mental wanderings in place
See this much distance and its grace.
And his express when he’s inclined
"Will she live life far past my time?”
Inside this, my delirium,
The truth beneath the catacombs.
Reflected silent dreams entwined,
We leave the future past behind.
99.8°F/ 37.66°C
Exhausted undertaker’s reap,
Betwixt the hills and valleys creep.
This Sabine’s rape and virus fades,
By lesser pins in steps and grades.
As sleep has still denied us rest,
Thus near apart, I bless’ed fall.
To find release by aspen shade
Assuring in its beck and call.
97.9°F/ 36.61°C
The lunar quarter wane has set.
I wake up in the dark and yet
I’m startled by the rushing wind,
I sudden hear him breathing in.
Returned, he’s had a basin bath,
Is naked, fresh and slightly damp.
The springs creak with me in the bed,
We drift just as the dawn turns red.

Ask In Prayer His Will
When treated unfairly by the self-centered,
remember that His ways are much better
than fair, which are in a heart like His Spirit.
When He lifts thee up, trust His mighty hand,
He will take care the things that disturb thee
at the right time in thy life that will be.
As thee sits quietly in His Presence,
thy awareness of His Life within thee
is heightened, and fulfills all that is seen.
Sit quietly with Him, letting all thy
frets & fears bubble up, a mind set free
as the surface thy vigilance awaits.
Remember that His tenderness for thee
is perfect, unfailing... ask the Spirit,
help grant thee with His endless fidelity.
‘Till with Him, we learn even as we speak
elsewhere, when a friend trusts implicitly,
giving each, heart & heartache a full berth,
thee is then standing atop sacred earth.
Being instead disheartened by the plight,
this blue planet spinning, He wants us as
bright lights shining in a winter’s darkness.
Each is in a tranquil place in hardship’s
discipline, even as it is painful
at the time, later it yields the faithful;
abiding, bears fruit within virtue’s praise.
