Assumptions

Oh you heart who follows the wind and expectation, who may predict or depend? What road we attend knowing with slight recant you will find allegiance, yearning and quest at the changing of season or breeze? What then the master of logic and plan. Schedules and to do lists dictating the hours in absence of miracle. Where is life in this grand scenario penned of man? What lay at the end of my own achievements if not material blessing or sense fulfilled? Planted those things that I may account to my own spread? What is preserved if heart untaught or fealty unknown?

Sullen and undetermined, fruits unripe, spotted or neglected. What joy to you seeks solace in vision of the rounded mountain? What skip bounces from step to step? What praise offered for the contentment that perhaps has never purchased? What hope in laws and frequence to sustain the moorings of the margrave? Have you forgotten the giggles and imaginary ambitions and the dreams of youth? Are there things you are afraid to know?

Courage now young one. Time marches whether you stand, step or slip. Breathe deep the power of pace irrelevant the rhythm of decay and entropy. All sound the fear and laughter of those who made naught kings. Din the cries of those stood watching, anticipating prayer and tears of the frightened. What homes or dwellings protected truly felt safety beyond the hands of evil? Where to in navigation would those go to find certainly in ledger, mind and spirit? Have we forgotten the war wages to ending of certain victory or seek we peace with enemies thus defeated? Why command armistice with those who shall dwell in darkness?

What heroes make we? Lifting up brides and captains crumbling. Handfuls of loam and shaken stirring. Drifting in mind, intent and mercy never sure of the horrors which sway the outcome. Into those gelled, malleable ponderings of yoga, mystics and magics. Resonance of deciphered normalcy doing what feels right in weight and measure. What gentle rock supports the formation of worlds, wind and forever? And to our just reserves is levity found in attendance to nature’s rules or call? Is there for a voice for which the choir tunes? In tandem with cycle, sound or beginning. Round the corner to madness or muse. Does tomorrow bring your rubbings of the lantern or the escape of wrath and judgment?

Dreams

Mirrored flowers of the morning sun. Crossing hairs in gardens plain peacefully prepared to bask a while until summoned for the counsel. Lumbering the tree toed pathway all senses alert to the pollens and murky watered fountains. Lillies and valleys fair, wandering mind met to dismiss the thousand pounds of memories. Gone all guilt and practiced rhetoric as emotion got the better in delivery of tales, tears and talisman.

Walking backwards on frontage beach trying to remember summer’s last. But winters long howling mourns had dulled my senses enough to find them pleasantly lifted in the Spring’s awake from slumber. Cows and collies, bridges and billowing sails caught the freshened breeze to remind us of stories once told in wonder. The sky waited obediently for the brush to lay upon it, melding imagination with morning in a water color to rival heaven’s pastel.

A brief blink of eye, not a wink but some internal, private code set to action a secret parlay or prison break. Embarked to cozy inn for a satisfying meal, conversation on antiquing and a short-winded jaunt to miss incoming showers. What comforts do the shoulders rest.? When sitting proper by the falls and bells as tourists tip their hats in respect. There are no plans greater than the wishes of man to escape into the unknown season.

There are no requirements only expectations met or sometimes tabled. To the mounts and swiftly ride to find the folly we had so hoped would come upon us. Into the daze of mysteries met we left behind the thoughts and hopes of wars won tomorrow. For today alone stood to be victor. In its promise we fell toward the bastions of impermanence. For the horizon is always further than the feet which found it. Yet, whole lives may be answered in the moment when this day becomes the one of dreams.

Decided

Attached to that which sponsors right thinking and action. Embracing the truth that there is always an I and that persona has a list of wounds, desires and reasoning that will consistently be at odds with greater pursuits or understanding. The deception often endemic to failing this acknowledgement, demands a discernment beyond the embellishments of self and a focus absent dominion beneath the seeking’s of self. The decision and continuance of this higher discovery or investigation then requires a diligence or vigilance in watchfulness to measure the reflection of a navigation attentive to the power of probable or possible misdirection. The only way is His, the desire to walk that path.

What then in faith is logical reaction to the disturbances or attempted theft of joy, peace or patience is to remain within the joy regardless of deception or offered interruption? This joy, having received the keys to the toolset of humanity’s navigation, will remain my endorsed mindset. I am beyond the reach of theft and/or calamity. To participate in this counterproductive effort is by choice and should be acknowledged as willful participation and self-wrought efforts to attend to the effect of my enemies. I will stand this battlefield in courage, not to fight against those I seek to drive before me but rather filled with the confidence of their flight as defeated foes of the one I represent in likeness, Word and pleasure.

Where have I gone when finding my footfalls upon the Broad Boulevard volleying conversation absent love, humility or caution? Well, in absolute visibility I have been lured by lusts, objectives or conquest from the list of humanism not of heaven. Why then will you follow the red balloon of childish imagination, when the concrete, substantive edge of eternity awaits and beckons your just pursuit in faith? Wherein is fruit displayed? Is it unlike the manna of today stored up to be shown another day? Or is today the viewing of my produce? What then is God pleading you discover? Step aside from the misdirection efforts of those who would see you impoverished.

Find Joy, given freely and without governance to sustain those promises of that which awaits you beyond the world’s zenith, horizon or Z-plane. For this is the incremental capture of those things supernatural to which you have made heir and willing participant. Love, joy, peace and patient not only await your administration but stand at ready to defend, protect, parry and deliver the certainty of God’s victorious glory and fulfillment. Why choose this when that has been available since transformation? We must be decided in promise, hope and surety awaiting the arrival we know is our destiny.

Record

The thankful moments saved in mental collage of life explosive, bursting into the stacks of eternity. Not where to but when and how long. Asking questions but would rather tell the story of this adoring heart. So near to somewhere I’ve forgotten, so far from what could have been, indifferent to that treasure in necessity. You are the dream. Not one that nonchalantly wakes when it’s over but the rapture, four score symphonic cacophony and maps beyond tomorrow. waking in tears, fears and laughter, speaking words I’ve never heard and cannot remember writing, painting in hues outside the spectrum.

How fast? Must have been aggressive as my shoes are torn, lying dead upside in patches of turf and wonder. No sweat. Impossible. There was no way from there to here a ditch collecting the bones and mysteries of age. What wind drove me to measure time’s incapacity? How grand the splendid sails taking us to out where. Imagined at day’s beginning when light had yet whispered its arrival. Hovering over the waiting deep, while Father mouthed the Word. Events forgotten not for loss of the miraculous but to give the mind time to rest in advance of the spectacular.

Pressure, pulse, crimson metal flowing toward the yellow pool of dawn’s voice rising. Where were the thoughts of my first breath upon the drawing board of creation. Chasing boots and dowsing tears with a dab at eye’s corner, hopeful. Waking at a whisper, unfolded to float on the mists of mars and dirty days in of spinning fury. Am I free to name the places, faces and deep thinking of those who ponder lightly. Please may I speak of courage and standing against the dark wind rising? May that sword sing power’s preaching siren to rid all of the wicked.

Enter the countdown. Eyes and hearts skyward. Anticipating swift, certain moments of plans unfurling. Flags and faces of character beyond the stars served as latent example but now embody reality of the Sovereign. When not if, how and why also entertained in the mantle of God’s reason. The season is upon you whether you seek avatar or alternate answer the only one offered will clarify your madness. Into the dawn of God’s resolve you are cast as the die that you once rolled. Double or triple six to win the pot of gold you’ve chased with each breath spent. Powerless, hopeless, full of regret for having mocked those seemingly simple who served that beyond them. Into eternity, judgment and incarnate incarceration by the King you failed and refused to recognize as your Maker and now your end.

Here and hereafter

Capsule, envelope, bubble, prison when caged by thinking unresolved or challenging the boundaries of relationship. What transformation my brothers? From what into what are you claiming allegiance to a King who gave command not suggestion or interrogatory? If it is the measure of change, the production of previously unrealized fruit you bear as evidence then isn’t it incumbent upon your argument to present it in public viewing? Christ said to declare Him to the World not simply intimate that we may perhaps have met along a long broad boulevard. When were you contemplating making a public statement of your adoption into His Forever Family?

We applaud the stepping out of identity to our sin, having previously kept secret in the dark those things for/of which we may have been embarrassed or to which impacts we sought avoidance. Is our Faith in the Maker of the universe to be so included? Certainly, all would agree that finding salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, ending the war with God, escaping death and being free from bondage of our sin are worthy of local declaration if not emphatic heraldry from the highest promontory. Why then, are most men silent of that ebullient joy? Why then are most men absent in the spiritual leadership of their Families, Firms and Nations? Why then are most men completely absent the requisite delight and fruit commensurate with the presence of the Holy Spirit’s domicile, within our hearts?

It is logical to assume that having been born again to a new heavenly birth each of us would at some point make that revelation to the world or at least to ourselves. Is there a date upon we depend or project that it will be convenient or Safe to make such relationship known? I love and care for you and know that God has no need for time except in its demand upon our understanding and valuation of the temporary, precious and priceless moments we’ve been given to make the one choice demanded of all. God is patient. Have you ever stopped to ponder why? Romans 9:22 if you need to review. He loves all even those who themselves or publicly are proclaimed wicked. And He is using the provision, protection and bounty given to those who are obedient as envious example to the wicked in knowledge that some will see and seek Life in Him. For He declares that He intends for all to reach everlasting Life in Him.

I am no man’s critic, only a voice in the desert saying, make straight your path for the Kingdom of God is upon US. This nation was created upon DIVINE PRUDENCE it will be dissolved only through DIVINE IGNORANCE. Ever take a moment to look upon the root of the word ignorance? It is to IGNORE. If we continue to ignore the choice or continue to hide the evidence of our salvation then how would God use any of US to make the wicked envious of our example? Logic confounds those who wish to create avatar or alternate realities in the quest to avoid God’s impending judgment. Romans 1 declares God’s position, yet few will read it or seek to understand the reality of our dependence upon the Sovereign for existence or continuance. We have been promised and given process by which to heal our nation yet we will do anything but humble ourselves before God. The reason why is clear.

I may paint pictures of overwhelming love. I may declare or regale you with stories of digression to find alternate pathways in or through the universe to reach God and Heaven. I may rewrite the greatest story of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, but none of my invention, aspiration or editing changes in any fashion or manner the Truth of God’s Word upon each heart. You will either choose to believe upon God’s Work to save mankind or you will choose not to and this sole decision will determine your continuance after departing this life term. My duty to Him and love for you behooves my own declaration and evidence. Not simply found in my words but defined by the evidentiary fruit seen in my walk of life, that there is no doubt in either of our minds of God’s indwelling seal and presence. For it is my prayer that you see and in so doing are compelled to make that one, paramount, mandatory choice of this lifetime. Death and taxes are not assured, the decision of life hereafter IS.

Fair Trade

Of all the things that this life brings seldom is the reflection my own. From top down from foot to crown laying before the King everything including heart, mind, soul and strength. The length determined in prescience feeding the majesty and curvature of time necessary to gather all things to throne base. In service there is no expectation on fulfillment of strategy or tactic as the mission moves to objective and review. The time for reason has gone giving way for the day of clarity and hope. All eyes skyward for the King will bring.

There is no place left for the sacrosanct. No privacy or illusion keeping secret those dark spots of faux or fealty. We are aligned to those things breathing in the light not the feigned misgivings of them who taste the dark. So little know we but the scant understanding more than sufficient to lose the guard of promise. We are born of spirit, made to stand in the flaming fires of Sovereign authority as those who seek the dungeons transpire in captivity or despair. Into the dawn, all.

Waiting the greatest truncheon in my armory. Standing upon patience, goodness and self-control diminishing the doctrine of humanity’s weak hold upon truth and justice. Courage is a short sprint to field resisting the pull of fear and cloud. We were designed for such, this stand, this march forward with smile replacing the welded mask of tragedy. Laying aside the malice of my criticism or hate to love enough, just enough to set victim free from cages. The prisons of deception and false ideal. Come down from the mountain groves of worship to the fallen. Divested alchemy and the plague of self-kept dynasty. We are the jewels of tomorrow found beyond the event horizon of absolute truth.

The truths and freedoms of chastity. The purity of loss, the dross of a world self-poisoned by aspirations unbecoming, misaligned to faith. Without this heart that was given and accepted we cannot find revision, renewing and trust. Will we be tall above the curved backs and bended knee of those forced to come to reason? Have I found comfort in contrition in surrender to one Breath, One Love, One King deserving all and more? There is no end discovered passed beginning. Becoming something beyond invention, ambition or pride acceptable to man. Being made again into the meaning for seed’s planting. Born of heaven, made for service and to stand against all enemies in the knowledge of certain victory.

Consistent

What He says not the footfalls launching me into madness. The thickening plot of a story outside construction worthy of retelling. Not the clutching pearls hoping for my own wisdom’s arrival. A candidacy without regret. A life that all these children would look upon and find pleasant, without color, shellac or massage. What men of character wish for their sons.

What do we tell ourselves in the wee hours of alone time, when no one else may offer retort, comment or revision. The iron of the stanchion, replete with rust or clarity and taint. I am no presumptive ruler who would be propped up as king. The young man wondering hallways keeping his eyes free of slander, misuse and ill purpose. This dark, this jocularity, this nonsense is not my own but the muse of madmen.

It does not matter what description or excuse may be offered but the land paced in ankles measure. No editing, but the brown, red or frozen footprints of a man not having been carried by the Maker, but put down, marching to a superior cadence in truth and nondenial. He knows me and I wish to maintain that relationship to a fault, where I may never be misconstrued as aligned to another spirit.

What is purchased by my travesty or heart or conquest? What may be anticipated by this path I invest? What is natural inclination of my assumed direction, time and passing? To whom may my walk be attributed if not tandem to character of everlasting? I do not wish to hope that my race is consistent with His Will, emphatic in my representations of God. No doubt, no redress, no but’s or what ifs.

You cannot help me be true though accountability and opinion are purposeful in reflection. Your evaluation is always appreciated especially when it stings, clarifies and demands output which passes the smell test. I am making of this short life that which I may report to the Master. No one will stand in my regard, giving Other evidence or rebuttal to the King. It will be my moment of cheer or sorrow in the accounting. For that ability is the singularity of a man’s reporting in the absence of frailty, falsehood or confusing language.

There is worth in saying one is sorrow for steps mistaken, sloppy or in hindsight, mis- ventured. For that is the power in history a walk consistent with the Word and Will of God or taken in tandem with self-gratification. This is an analysis absent the fingers of those who stand watching. A report that may only be offered in my voice however apologetic, strong or whispered. There is no greater desire nor regret of man than to tell his own story without upset, interruption or regret. Than to stand in front of God and bring honor in its telling.

Make it straight.

I reap that which I did not plant. I am rewarded by the prayers and efforts of those gone before. What a joy to be part of something stretching beyond. My life is greater when combined with the faith and admiration of all who love the King. Hunting and gathering together those people that bring joy to the heart of Jesus. Let the storehouses be readied for harvest, let the trumpets be sounded as all men are called to tabernacle with the Most High, let the light of the world remind us of everlasting headed upon us. May all men choose the skinny path, that few will choose leading to the narrow gate.

Prompt my heart Lord to serve in fealty, prayer and purity for your will to be fulfilled. Lord let me stand apart from the world and do, say and promote collective action to make straight all roads as we await your arrival. Lord let our arrogance dissolve, our patience lasting and our hope remain undaunted in the face of those impossible threats that confront our hearts and mind. Give us immutable hope and courage to reflect our trust in You. Father forgive us as the remaining taint and dark spots of this world are taken from us. I rejoice that I see those things which much be removed rise to my recognition in the light of your love and power.

Lord forgive them for many still do not understand your command and patience awaiting their obedience. Let them be kindled by Your Spirits Holy Fire that they are instantly transformed. May all men hear the voice of reason and respond in to your direction. Send your heralding angels that the Gospel is sent to the corners and your light cuts the darkness where the fearful tremble. Give hope to all men who will receive the Will of God and the Powerful delivering joy of Christ Jesus. Allow the beloved to shed any grudge or painful memory of wound and cruelty that they may free themselves of the burden of unforgiveness. Allow us to love the unlovable even our enemies as we find our way to the garden in prayer with you. Lord set this nation and this world free from the slavery that grips them to find everlasting life with you. Father I beg you to hear my prayers for all men. May Israel be keptt safe and made ready for your return.

Once

Right next to yonder small fruit stand, the illusion of my control fizzles in the dying embers of my self-dependence. Could not think nor blink fast enough to see the fuselage lost in cavalcade of descending stars chasing the Sun’s departure. There were no limits to my exhaustion as the air I thought in reserve had already left canister. The ozone grasped at helium as it sought its place in the deep black envelope. Dancing done my legs quivering in humility as these feet planted firmly in my namesake.

Lord, I am just grateful to kneel before this throne. Thank you for time, time you’ve never needed but I feel is the only thing sustaining my participation in forgiveness. I tried to construct my own model, responsive to my tingling fingers, yet was already relieved before deployment. Some men cannot inspire nor convey the viral motivation typically wrought and manipulated with the ease of children. It is okay for in that failure I find the reality and relief of identity’s foretelling. Freedom comes free to those who never lost it. Standing on the wall in defense of things worthy in the voluntary loss of self.

Promise is a characteristic of our resilience in imago Dei. We endure, forgive, trust and change abiding upon its calculus and mastery of time. The entertaining scribblings meant for cathartic healing of the ego’s threat to rupture. Never really there but the victim hood misgivings of a man who mastered the foolhardy and ridiculous. Thinking dreams could reveal the hidden persona strong beyond means and application. It is good to master anything even if in irrelevance my only strength is weakness. Love cannot be lost having never been understood from outset. And in between the lines remains a myth that holds together worlds and everlasting.

So croon to the moon and don’t stop too soon that you cannot fall free of the capsule. Common to fall the ability of all sticking the landing the puzzle. Free to scream in the vacuum never overheard except by high flying bird as it observes the trajectory toward granite. Upon the rock I dive kept free and alive by the ages He contemplated my mishap. It’s okay, that in making me this way giving has always been easy. Taking it seems is hard on the dream and the pile of expectation’s inferno. The new growth yet to be seen, but on my anxious brow the droplets of moisture to dampen its soil in planting.

Exceed

The challenge of the inexplicable. In description of sensory analysis is a thing defined? Am I increased by simply using my limited mental vocabulary in codifying things beyond my understanding? What then of love when I scant have known its presence yet apart its content, depth and sustainment? Is light something I truly comprehend or control? Or I left in moribund despair when looking upon the miraculous with the eyes that may simply wander in the Maravillos of magnificence?

Can I or will I accept the challenge that I can barely describe yet even less breakdown the animalistic nonetheless the spiritual significance of man’s thought, questing and practices. And am left bereft of brilliance in my abject misunderstanding and lack of verbiage when approaching the subatomic, gravity and the perpetuality of existence or for that matter the components of life? How then desperate the pursuits of a man reliant solely on limited understanding in mathematics, reason, science, longevity, time and rhetoric when confronted with the arrogant attempt at defining the Divine nature of all that makes his own DNA of purpose?

You think me masterful or mystic? A magician of sorts wowing you with the convenience of my capacity to present a vision consistent with your desire for wonder. An illusionist having amply manipulated the childlike willingness to be amazed, enamored or led into ambition group discussion of how we can self-help to nirvana or Valhalla. I am charlatan at best having lassoed the elemental journey into the moorings of universe and in malfeasance describing the miraculous in a potent method of hypnotizing the innocent. What I really mean is look at me and look at me and again look at me as I use the wonderful to deceive the amazing into giving me six Pense for having done nothing greater the mastery of storytelling.

For all my intellect I have done nothing. I have neither created, produced, transformed or edified. Simply determining to amaze with slight of mouth those who would be led into the false presumption that I actually know anything about anything. When in fact describing the Mona Lisa in terms that create sign, tear or deep thinking is simply mimicry of that which I reside in ambition of my own ignorance and envy.

I would prefer to simply be overjoyed in aspiration and inspired welcome that someday I may acquire the knowledge of those things of which now I delve in the dumbness of description. What grand comfort in the knowledge that someday I will be delivered beyond this dysfunctional utopian desperation and attempts to describe God to those who have no understanding of timeless, supernatural and indescribability in magnificence. To His Glory may I continually be led into moments promised of understanding that which is beyond this empty self.
