so come on follow me out on this plank over here
don't be scared i have tried it so many times before
though i must say it is bending much further with two
not to worry i think it is worth us coming for the view
down far below is the river and some people i know
give a wave to them hold it, just very gently please
it is getting windy that i must agree but don't hold onto
my sleeve or we'll fall can't you see what's that creaking…

if you take a piece of bread and you soak it in superglue
then we can use it not as food but construct a portaloo
then grab some wooden braces long infused with vitamins
and suddenly our lunch appears,all prepared as if by magic
not as tasty i agree but so nutritious, very good for you
you won't join my barbeque was it something that i said

Why?

Hope?

chance?

My house is not constructed with straw
Nor of sticks
Nor of mortar and bricks.

My house is constructed with wisdom,
The roof is constructed with grace
The walls are made up of faith
The windows show virtue
The doors welcome you to knowledge
The steps show self-control
The mood in the house is godliness
Every room shows brotherly affection
And the food in the kitchen is love.

Lineon

That is nice, I am not a Poet, but I like the kind that makes sense.
Thank you for doing this.
Love Irene

we're taking charge on this ship, the captain's gone ashore
we've been around quite long enough to manage to sail her
and not been happy with the way the trip has gone so far,
there'll be some big changes now, when we go out to sea
take this sextant used at night when darkness falls to guide
we've never sailed at night at all so why keep such merchandise
that anchor is a heavy weight, we don't intent to stop, so cut it loose
hoist it up and overboard it goes and then why use these charts when risks
are known that lay beneath the sea, no storms round here that we have seen
so why does caution rule, we should just send all sails up as see what she will do
but later as the wreck returned and washed up her crew onshore what is the fate of
mutineers, those bucaneers brave, will they be so when the Captain of Salvation reappears

Fear, Cheer, Lear, Beer, Deer, Queer, Sneer.

Venting turned to poetry,
If you question you're not the majority.

Try to argue and get a rise,
Your pride wins for biggest size.

Wonder, wander, but don't ask why,
Commandments that you can't follow but you can try.

See Jane run.
See Dick play.
Don't lose faith just stay.

This is the way,
so they say.

why?

[NickHassan]

doctor scripture knows the heart of every man and can impart
the deepest healing once received, when taken in and believed
hear what you say and step right back to understand the truth
that manifests in such display for what we claim, we mostly lack
and where we boast our weakness gross, and where we judge is
found within ourselves in greater part than them who kindly show
our deficit in grace suffice to know that that none is greater sinner
than you and i who rest in hope of righteousness, given in the Son

[Not3in1]

Why?
Because of lies.

Love you Irene

stubbed toes hurt and painful stings penetrate our old thick skin
letting others rage, frustration vent allows the light to penetrate
and nothing heals quite as quick as applying balm of forgiveness
constantly turning other cheek to pain, to defend the higher plan
seeking vantage points for higher views comes when current sight
is incomplete, tradition does not satisfy and pride defended waste
of time, eventually even those that killed him found murder did not
close the gate, their hearts repentant not too late sought answers
deeper than intellect, the Father meets all who have failed, know
truth wisdom will prevail despite the pain their ears do bear as he
transforms our mind to his, silence, be still and know that He is God

[NickHassan]

all men lie, what is truth be very careful what you say
let your yes be yes and your no no for all else from evil
truly free now must be untrue if Peter contaminated still
and Paul is bound by fleshly rules till his tent cast aside
seeing part but just as vision,hope ever shows potential

distant shore with waving friends, tide assisting, swim, swim
must not give up, nor fear the sharks, nor presume as given
no time to stop, think too hard, no more rescuers are coming
safety promised but till we can feel the sand beneath our feet,
we can still become flotsam, jetsam, mere wasted godly breath

[NickHassan]

faith is shipwrecked lives are lost when carnal thoughts abide
the plan of God for you is hidden deep in each pure word of God
and only when we take each day the bread of reconstruction
can human minds be rectified, restored unto the man from heaven

[NickHassan]

the word of God makes enemies every day in every possible way
it must divide, define, refine, revise, no man comes unconstructed
submit the lot, the plan, the building, trust only what's written
even if the meaning stays distant, muffled words, mystery rules
there is no other way so hold on, wait, some understanding will
spring from patience wed to hope, commit not to believing nil
for that is faith in yourself, seems right to men, ends in death

[NickHassan]

there is little more annoying than someone who holds the line
in the face of all the evidence i gave that clearly does define
that no such truth exists so i must reiterate that reality, just
a point of view, a state of mind as transient as grass and dew
though somewhere i have read rather man is as grass in fact
i know that Peter said as much but who would trust a fisherman

[NickHassan]

yeah we knew him oldest son of Joe and he did a good bit of carpentry
he fixed our fence in nazareth before building his house in capernaum
nice quiet fellow never much to say but always ever kindly in his way
but then he changed when cousin john got busy washing in the jordan
and suddenly the powers that be in the temple there got all upset
because he started healing folks and speaking wisdom to our hearts
though his family thought he'd lost the plot and wanted him to home
to rest he carried on and set men free from every devil and disability
he spoke in favour of the pharisees role moses's seat as given by God
but truth be told those impotent men got jealous they had only words
ritual, and no real power as he was lent, believe it or not they got him
killed, amazing reaction to God's servant, so i guess they learned that
spirit wrong if rage and violence, bad ferment, i hear some joined his
crew now that their hatred has been fully spent, everythings changed
a new light shines and religion takes a lesser place will it last though?
