Capturing God
.
Trying to capture God
In all the witnesses to His existence
From the smallest mites
To the gigantic whales
In all life that lives and breathes
In every thing that He conceives
The beauty of earth
The splendour of space
His magnificence defies
Our greatest dreams
And all our imaginings

Post No. 789
Sweet Dreams
Babies’ breath, talcum powder,
Eiderdown, a fluffy cloud,
Floats on high in a clear blue sky.
Innocence and purity
Should grow into maturity,
But, no, he may lack integrity.
Evil creeps in through the door –
What on earth is he waiting for?
Takes advantage while he can
To profit from the greed of man.
The sweetest dreams have been and gone,
Lost, unfounded, one by one.
But redemption is there within his reach:
Listen to the pastor preach,
Take heart and rue the day
When Satan came and hoped to stay.

Thoughts and feelings intermingle,
Coloured lights and darker shadows
Swirling round without a sound;
Invisible world that hides within ~
Unseen world inside our skin.
What we feel is just as real
As the things we touch and smell.

Some upright
Others lolling
On their sides
A few slid down
Sitting on their spines
Some with open eyes
Others closed
But most unseeing
In their world
Of imagining
Of remembering
In their minds
Like moving pictures
Behind the blinds
I quashed my guilt
For failing them
Not paying them
The kindness of a call
Not popping in
However briefly
Assuring them
They are not forgotten
Not alone

Packing, sorting, exhausting, draining
Boring, chore-ing, but sometimes inspiring,
Uncovering, discovering long-lost treasure,
Teaching me not to be a hoarder
Or a collector (as I like to think)!
Stones and shells in a container
Opened once in a while to caress their beauty
And be transported back in time…
A glance through the window at the world outside
Reminds me that it doesn’t stand still;
I have to relish the rush of life
And also enjoy the blush of life
Wallpapering my window in its rosy light.

Sitting staring into space
Remembering another time and place
Now all alone in her silent world
Peacefully waiting…
The sounds of life pass her by
The hue and cry out in the streets
Birds in the trees fill the air
With their twitterings and tweets
Another time, another place…
Soon she’ll quit the human race
The race of life is almost run
And she accepts what is to come

Reflections
In all directions
Reaching into eternity
You and me
Instantantly
*A linear concept of time and space
Is in use by the human race
But time is circular
Layer upon layer
Compressed together
Never-ending
In the enormity of the universe
Time and space ARE eternity…

If you watch me or follow
you will find i hide my hopes
and dreams under my pillow
my wishes and fancies are
buried there together with
a feather that fell through the air
white marshmallow clouds
form my bed, soft and welcoming
me into the warm folds of faith
where I lie way up high…

Teetering on a tightrope
Hanging on a shelf
Grasp with frozen fingertips
While the moon hangs itself
Reality is become fiction
And fiction doesn’t exist
Solid ground falls away
Leaving space in its place
Heads spin on shoulders
Wi(l)de-eyed at far-off visions
Sense-less dreams of peace
On our bleeding earth

The dawning promise of morning
Where golden arrows streak the sky
And blushing clouds drift on high
Doused in purest gold
Too soon the sun appears
Reaching over the horizon
And the surrounding colours brighten
In a burst of blazing flames
Glorious scenes beyond our dreams
Pleasure and delight our senses
Oh that we could freeze the moment
With each and every small component
