Reflections
.
And thus I will
Just sit and mull
Reflecting You
Reflecting me
And the best love story
In the Book of Time

GOD revealed
.
The decision was always His to make
The steps were ever His to take
And Jesus Christ was born of man
God revealed in His own plan
In flesh and blood he could relate
He gave His all for love of us
Suffering torment on the cross
He was no figment to still man’s need
Of a saving grace or creed
But the unadorned and newborn babe
Come to earth to conquer death
Hail to Thee O King of kings
All hail to Thee O Lord of lords
Our glorious God is now revealed

God
God is
God is all
Who stands between you and death
Who gives you your last breath
His is the power
He is the Father
Who holds you to His breast
Open your eyes and see
Open your ears and hear
Today you have a second chance
You’re a lucky one –
Some had none
All you must do is believe
Fill your heart with love
For Jesus who died to forgive
And your sin will be gone
Completely overcome
And we will live
For ever

Poetry Translated

A language of feelings
That speak to my soul
‘bout love carried on the wind
With scents of flowers to refresh
The tinkle of water in the stream
While I dream of things to come
In the free flow of life
Carrying us onward

City-life

City-life
.
The smooth soothing hum
Of traffic through the suburbs
. The lifeblood of evolution
. All rushing to get things done
.
And everyone working to plan
An art-aerial view enabling all
Who follow the map to obey
. The rules and not go beyond
. The lines drawn on the road
White lines yellow lines
Broken lines and token lines
.
. . And heaven forbid a brake
. . Or jam— traffic sticking fast
. As long as it lasts
Fingers drumming on the wheel
. And then it starts
. BEEP-BEEP BEEP-BEEP
. And the 4WD’s baritone
. BOOB-BOOB BOOB-BOOB
.
Middle fingers waving
Open mouths silently yelling
(Aircon always too hot – or too cold)
.
. Hesitation or trepidation
. Cannot keep the meeting waiting…

Life

A life without
- a dream
- a vision
- a goal
(whether big or small)
isn’t worth living at all

Veld Fire
.
Skin crackling crisp
Blackened, peeling,
Exposing raw tissues
New life, new blood
Sanitized, purified
As the fynbos* renews
Year on year
And we watch
The regeneration
Following
The degradation
Full circle again
.
*Fynbos
Fynbos is the natural shrubland or heathland vegetation occurring in a small belt of the Western Cape of South Africa, mainly in winter rainfall coastal and mountainous areas with a Mediterranean climate. Wikipedia

Bee-ing Playful
.
I saw a sight the other day
That almost blew my mind away;
A fat little bee buzzed past my face
And zipped across to take his place
Upon a velvet rose petal,
Then, such a dare-devil was he,
He dove into the yellow pillow
Head first and rolled from side to side
Coating himself in golden dust
And, as I watched him mesmerised
He jumped and rolled again with glee
Both playfully and joyfully before he
Flew away and left me smiling happily.

The Fabric of Life
.
Weaving, the warp and the weft
Creating patterns and designs,
Tapestries reflecting the twists and turns
From birth on the path towards death.

Our God
~
The greatest engineer and architect is He
Who designed and built our world
Within a world, within a world, within a world..,
Concentric circles of never-ending immensity –
And He made me!
~
How wonderfully formed are we,
Engineered to the nth degree,
Working to perfection under His protection.
Rejoice, I say, rejoice,
Let our praises ring throughout eternity.
~
Let the mountains echo into space
And the vastness of creation
Unite in adoration,
Glorifying You, O God,
Our Father and our Maker.
