Gym Is Church
it takes a certain kind of humility for
a man to blindly submit
to a regimen conjured from the depths
of his soul...to forge himself into a specimen
to see his endgame in the now
peering past his present circumstance
as he endures the pain of pressurized time...
channeling his inner Atlas
placing the world he wants squarely
on his shoulders..burdening his neo-beast
cornering his belief system...here in his gym
his church...his dungeon..his damnation
his chamber of redemption reconciliation and...

What is sin doing among you?
If you belief what is sin doing among you?
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?
how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?
with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow...
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.

Growth
It doesn't need to rain today,
The soil is moistened well enough,
By the drops
that glide gently down her face,
Finding home,
In the depths below,
Bringing hope to a tiny seed,
as gently as a bird landing in a willow tree.
As needed as
the wind that blows:
A brand new breath
feels her lungs,
She holds it close...then lets it go.
The sprouting of a new life has begun.

IT IS THE HERE AND NOW
🍵...🙏 Yeah it is in the here and now, that coming of A NEW YEAR HAS BECOME, THE NEW YOU. 🦋 leaving behind the olde you. FOR as you sit back and reflect, on your spiritual journeys and travels and walks. What would you do differently than you did before? What would you change in the here and now, as you look forward never looking back, upon some mistakes within situations of some regrets. That came with hurt and pain 💔 and the mere sadness. That it brings back to your spirit. The very deepness of your inner. THOUGHTS and the silent of your...

Villanelle Nr.06 — Motivational Speaker (A NaPo-2017 Day-31 bonus villanelle)
The speaker pranced across the stage
with ‘carpe diems’ on his lips
the listeners clapped entranced, amazed
a preacher’s son, yep, born and raised
he knew the form of rhetoric
the speaker pranced across the stage
and pumped the spell-bound tribe half-crazed
to swallow their apprenticeship
the listeners clapped entranced, amazed
and starry-eyed half in a daze
they punched the air and let it rip
the speaker pranced across the stage
and midst the giant screen...

This New Day is the Next Step in Our Journey
There are no fence sitters where Donald Trump is concerned
And his effect on America and its populace has been biblical
Picture Jesus with Lazarus
However, just as in John 11:39, after so much time in the tomb; "Lazarus" surely stinketh
America,
now alive like no time other than its genesis,
or a major war,
Has spoken
Joe Biden is now President
Awaken!!
Arise!!
Lazarus!! Come forth!!
"The Donald" is gone
Joe Biden has arrived
Once Again
A history maker
First elected to the Senate...

Wisdom or Wizardry
No religion is the absence of imaginary deities
Open the intellect locked away from this realty
Great minds wasted believing in heavenly fantasy
Creating delusions of grandeur to force on others their philosophy
These tales may as well be extraterrestrial pablum
Imagined to explain life and comfort from death
For the lonely hearts left behind to ponder their truth
While rationalizing the lies they tell themselves
In hopes of achieving what they could not do in life
The truly hardest things humanity finds impossible to let go of ...

When My Faith Was Shaken
It was when I looked love in the eye, but
I could not put my heart in it one hundred
Percent anymore. Love can put me in a rut
I could never get out of. It has plundered
Me and left me empty like a house with no
Foundation. I lost that faith when I walked
Away from one person I wanted to grow
Old with for eternity. I thought and talked
About him as if he was still here with me
Now. I lost that faith when I was going to
Lose a friendship I built from scratch. He
Could never see past...

The "Gods load was to much"
From the beginning of time when the Gods created the earth 🌎!!
Much work needed to be done, the Gods became fatigued and needed a people you would say the chosen 🙏 one's!!
The one's to take up the load and make sure 👍 that the earth 🌎 was well groomed and properly done!
The Gods came all together like care ❤ bears 🐻 in unison!!
As they stared Adam and Eve suddenly appeared, to populate and groom the earth 🌎 the Gods load!!
On earth their generations were left to bare!!

I Escaped, But Only Just - Part 22: Conclusion
I left home as soon as I could. For a while, I retained some social ties from my hometown, but those dissolved over time. I graduated in music and somehow managed to win a prestigious Piano Scholarship, as told elsewhere.
Faith continues to play a role in my life, but not as before. I no longer belong to the Jewish Community. About twenty years ago, I joined the Anglican Communion and I attend a C of E Church these days.
Admittedly, I struggle with the issues presented in my story and would admit that I've sometimes felt that others expect me to wholeheartedly...

Feeling You Within Me
some dreams are windows to the future
sometimes I don’t understand them
but in time they are revealed by You
have learned to trust You more
as I’ve felt your luving spirit enter my weary soul
recognizing that calming voice is yours
in silence of night it whispers guidance
so many times feeling left abandoned
You always remind me in a gentle way your still here and luv me
Thank You My Lord Jesus ~
