Title: *I WRITE*

 
Title: *PEACE* /Mm - Visual Prayer Art from Set by Rev.Bola

Hard cliff, 
Shallow cave.
This low, open lantern fades.
Dull cave, dry doorway.
The damp root living;
It is the empty hunter.
Lingering, 
I write.

Title: 'Autumn of Haikus'

Title:*DELIGHT* - Orb of Light 10/Mm - Visual Prayer Art by Rev.Bola

  *AUTUMN OF HAIKUS*

With the smell 
of new-cut grass 
wafting in from outside,  
waiting alone in the great, 
oak-paneled library, 
the terrified Violetta thought 
once more of Doctor Ken, 
the man who had 
taught her how to feel. 
He was now, 
according to Countess Genevieve, 
a prisoner in the very castle 
he had once owned.
 
Then came the thud of fists, 
a muffled cry, 
fighting on the stairway, 
and she dropped the 
brimming wine glass 
heedlessly on the rug. 
He was here! 
“Our love will outlast eternity, 
my angel — my porcelain angel!”
 he boomed, oblivious of 
the lava-red eyes at the window, 
and as the truth — the whole truth 
slowly came home to her, 
she wordlessly let her body 
melt against his own.

A mother and child
Hear the movements of the earth,
Twilight is ending.

Eagles fly above
Weeping in forgotten lands,
An old day is gone.

The lucky youths play
As hopeful souls recline.
With swing on solid oak
Beneath the rooted grass,
Where tender sparrows furrow
Nesting pools of delight. 


And waiting old women
                                                               
  Feeling the warmth 
of the sunlight,   
Unseen by others.

Genesis 8:22 

''While the earth remains, 
seed time and harvest, 
cold and heat, 
summer and winter, 
day and night, 
shall not cease.”

Title: *MAYBE*

Maybe,
If I smile once more
Maybe,
Knock on heaven's door
Maybe,
If I start to pray
Maybe,
Then I'd find a way


Surely,
Will I lose my fears
Surely,
When I say my prayers
Surely,
When the light appears
Surely,
Will I wipe my tears.

It's good,
If I can sing a song
It's better,
If I dance along
It's best,
If I continue strong
Yes, that's the way 

I'll carry on.

James 1:12

'Blessed is the man who 
remains steadfast under trial, 
for when he has stood the test 
he will receive the crown of life, 
which God has promised 
to those who love him.'

Title:*COMPASSION*

Title:* Compassion*

Compassion,
Must become our fashion.
Meditating upon it
Night and morning,
No matter what the
Circumstance we're born in.

We can do it whilst
Checking through email
Letting our warmth
And kindness prevail.

Thinking of compassion  
As we interact with others,
Having empathy for our dear
Sisters and brothers.

Reflecting,
Much on compassion
Through the day and night.
So that our hourly actions
May mirror Christ's light.

And so this will become
Our greater portion in life
Loving compassion,
A steadfast weapon
Against strife.

'Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, 
forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.'
