Our Scenes

While the dawn slumbers on the horizon
The night weaves about my face
Like a curtain it drapes the stage,
Waiting for a light to illuminate the play.
From nowhere; a conjures trick, a candle lights the stage.
Background stilhouts take form, sounds drift through the air,
Cars and people bustle along the streets
High pitched laughter hits the air, shouts, from a resturant,
Music comes from a basement club,
People standing, hanging onto walls.
The candle flickers, shapes and sounds fade away.
A new scene appears, a hall filled with people
Shouting and raving, the speaker said something wrong,
Fists and feet crunch into bones
Blood spills onto the floor, the speaker shouts no more,
But the confusion persists.
The candle flickers the confusion fades away.
The third scene comes with candle light and sounds.
A cannon explodes, the rattle of machine guns are heard,
Groaning of tanks, the swish of jets fill the air.
Then quiet suddenly a great explosion
Vibrates through the air.
The candle light does not flicker, does not waver
Only the light is seen.
The gurgle of death and the groaning pain comes to the ear.
The candle flickers the sound reaches deaf ears.
Scene four is peacfull. The morning sun;
Early morning mist begins to lift; exposing lakes;
Trees and mountains.
The candle flickers; no more scenes appear.
The New Light does not fade, it is here to stay!!

Red Bird Explains Himself
by Mary Oliver, from Red Bird (2008).

“Yes, I was the brilliance floating over the snow
and I was the song in the summer lanes, but this was
only the first trick
I had hold of among my other mythologies,
for I also knew obedience: bringing sticks to the nest,
food to the young, kisses to my bride.

But don't stop there, stay with me: listen.

If I was the song that entered your heart
then I was the music of your heart, that you wanted and needed,
and thus wilderness bloomed there with all its
followers: gardeners, lovers, people who weep
for the death of rivers.

And this was my truest task, to be the
music of the body. Do you understand? for truly the body needs
a song, a spirit, a soul. And no less, to make this work,
the soul has need of a body,
and I am both of the earth and I am of the inexplicable
beauty of heaven
where I fly so easily, so welcome, yes,
and this is why I have been sent, to teach this to your heart.”

FAMILY, NOW AND FOREVER

In Sanish ” sammos una familia”
In German “wir sind eine Familia”
Itaian's ” noi sitamo uno famille”
In Russian they say ” ne sinja”
In Hebrew “anachnu mishpaha”
Chinese “woman shur yi jar ren”
In English ” I'll tell you my friend.

CHORUS

We are Family, now and forever
Like Jewels for the kingdom prepare
With our loved ones, we cherish abd treasure
The wonderful memories we share
Reflecting our life-time endeavor
Our faces will shine like the sun
We are Family, now and forever
Together we're growing as one

No matter what accent or language
No matter what nation or tongue
To friends far and near
The message is clear
Our Family's becoming as one
Begotten and soon to be born
That glorious age soon will down
It's more then a phrase or a dream
It's all that our life's meant to be.

Peace and Love Irene

Lineon -Guten Abend! Wie geht es Ihnen? Es ist doch schade das wir so wenig unere Muttersprache gebrauchen. Wie lange sind Sie uberhaupt schon hier? Und wo wohnen Sie hier in America? Und wo in Deutschland sind Sie geboren? I vergesse sehr schnell und ich weiss nicht mehr ob ich das schon mal gefragt have. Ich bin in Rheine Westfalen geboren und mein Man kommt von Berlin. Wer haben 4 Kinder. 3 Sohne und eine Tochter.
Wo ich jetzt aelter werde habe ich doch vrlangen nach meine Heimat. Deutschland ist so schoen und sauber. Dass letzte mal wo wir in Deutschland waren war in 1987. Eine Reise am Rhein entlang und dann zu dem Schwarzwald. Wunderbar.
So fuer heute will ich schluss machen.
Auf Wiedersehn Irene

Thanks Irene

When last did I recieve a personnel message in German?, a long time ago.
I was born in the northen part of Germany, Hamburg.
I live in the South Africa.
A large part of my life I lived in Namibia, used to be South West Africa and before the First World War it was a colony of Germany.
They say it is the oldest desert in the world. Eighty percenet of the country is desert or semi desert. I lived in this desert, sand, sand, sand and more sand and here I came to the feet of our Almighty God and will praise Him forever.

Lineon Do you ever go back to your Hometown Hamburg? Since you live in the desert, I would think if I had the opportunity that I would go back, where it is a little nicer. But you have found Christ there of course that is the most important aspect of our lives. God be with you. Wishing you all the best for you, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Peace and Love Irene

The Desert

It was a wild day
The cool wind blowing
The sea ponding the shoreline,
Shooting a thin layer of water
Up the smooth beach,
So fast that it gives a reminder
Of a slithering snake laden with foam
Filling the lagoon ever so slow.
The black winged seagull stood eyeing
Waiting for a morsal,
Tiny Srand Loopers* running along the beach,
With crashing dumpers in the back ground.
Still further into the lagoon;
Pink Flamingoes stand in a line
Kneeing the sand.
Washed up sea bamboo lay every where,
The grey barren mountains
Stand wild and untamed in the distance,
Waiting for God's miriacle,
To shower them with greenery
And God's climate.
Those pink Flamingoes stand like flowers,
Living flowers in this untamed desert.

* Afrikaans word for a small bird that runs along the beach.

African sand Loopers, that are tiny Birds. Never heard of them, but I do not live along a Beach either. Are they like the Hummingbirds? We do have those here, they wait in early spring already for their Food that we put up for them in a Bird feeder. Sugar water.
Love your Poem, thank you

Yesterday I was wearing a red tank top and a hummingbird came 2 inches from my chest! AAAHHHH!

Maybe he thought I was a flower?

You got it. If they are hungry they go for everything that looks like a flower. Did you look like a flower?

COME YE BLESSED

Then, then shall the King say unto them upon His right hand
Come ye blessed of my Father
Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world
From the foundation of the world
Come ye the blessed of the Father
Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world
Come ye blessed of my Father.

I was hungry, and ye gave me meat
I was athirst, and ye gave me drink
I was a stranger and ye took me in
I was sick, sick and you visited me
I was in prison, and ye came unto me, ye came unto me
Then come you blessed of My Father
Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world
Inherit the Kingdom of the world
From the foundation of the world

Come ye blessed of My Father
Come, Come, Come..

Peace and Love Irene

Slaves of the day
Think nothing more, but about their pay
They trade in shares
Look at life holisticlly
Sit in their fast cars
Live life in their space
Shift their goal posts
Complain about the hectic life.

Slaves of the day
Live life on the edge
Check out all their gadgets
Sit to be seen in News Cafe's
Hide behind their luxuries
Listen to the Lama from Tibet
Have a good time in their head
End their day in a warm bed.

Slaves of the day
Have no bread they beg
They live from day to day
They srtech from Cape to Cairo
From Timbukto to Lesotho
They have no joy in their heads
Drugged up children are their pest
Dogs of war are rulers of us all.

Slaves of Today
Follow Christ in every way
There are no short cuts for this Way
Only offerings from day to day
Christ is the Saviour of this Way.

O, Lord my God when I in awesome wonder consider all the works thy hands have made,
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder, thy power through out the Universe displaced.

THEN SINGS ,MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GRET THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART;
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART.

When through the woods and forest glads I wonder, and hear the birds sing sweetly in the tree's
When I look down from lofty mountain grander, and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TJ THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART

When I should think, that God His Son not sparing send Him to die, I scars not take in
When on the cross my burden gladly barren, He bleed and died to take away my sins

THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation, when He returns what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, MY GOD HOW GREAT THOU ART

THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ARTR, HOW GREAT THOU ART

May the Lord be with all of you who read this.
Peace and Love Irene

COME THOU ALMIGHTY KING

Come thou Alnighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing, help us to praise.
Father all glorious, o're all victorious,
Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days.

Come Thou Incarnet Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword, and us defend,
Come and Thy people bless, and give Thy word success,
Spirit of holiness, our prayer attend.

Come Holy Advocate
A pure heart in us create, in this glad hour,
Thou who almighty art, open our minds to see,
What Christ would have us be, Spirit of power.

In Christian Love Irene

Psalm 131

I do not feel proud, my Lord
High and mighty feelings are not with me
Power does not concern me
And flying high is not for me.
My spirit and me are one
We are growing together in the Spirit of the Lord.

Come humanity the Lord is our Hope
Now and to-morrow.

Lineon That is a very interesting Post. That might just happen to Christians soon.
What do you think?
In Christian Love Irene

[lineon]

Thanks Irene

I hope our Lord comes soon.
No body knows when He will return
We just have watch the signs,
the signs are usually only understood once they have past.

Thanks again Irene I hope your pain is easing off a bit.
