He wandered,
Far from the accustomed haunts
Of boys;
And sought,
Desolate places that were in his
SPIRIT.
( Mark Twain )
Life.
A fire. A force, inexcusable.
I bet you gonna live it, no matter what.
Remarkable, how it can be so manifold!
It's a man. Well, a woman. It doesn't matter.
Or does it?
Life.
Say what? Provided it's livable!
Life.
A magnet. Like an ordinary iron-bar, it's a thing
...with a pull.
A magnate. That's more like it; I mean to say, what it
...should be.
More than the pull of a magnet, life should be the force of a personality.
Life Extraordinaire.
Noah...Abraham...Joseph...Moses...David...Jesus Christ.
Albert Einstein...Conrad Hilton...Sam Walton...Abraham Lincoln.
Ben Carson. For example.
Love.
Oh well.
Well...well...well, you know:
Like butterflies in your belly?
Or goose pimples on skinny's flesh or plumpy's face?
Love.
Oh well, you'd better woo that booty!
Body and Soul, if that's what you feel.
"Sexual healing", crooned Marvin Gaye.
If it's Romantic Love, I'm cool.
But dang! Every sugar daddy ain't sweet!
Love.
Oh well said, here's Another Kind of Love.
This love will pull at you...beckon to you... Call Your Name!
At sunrise, at sunset; every single day.
Anywhere, everywhere ; whatever place you go.
L-i-k-e life itself,
L-i-k-e your breath hangs on it!
If you like, call it the Voice of God;
A calm yearning in the midst of storm.
In spite-of-all you've been through.
Divine Love.
A magnetism...a pull...from an ethereal personality, calling your muse.
Your Destiny!
God's Love will drag you, out of your shell; out from your mess;
Beyond the logic-of-your mind.
It's the Eternal Muse awakening the music in you.
Perhaps, that which hitherto slept; that which has lain dormant in your breast.
Divine Destiny.
The Life that you were meant to live; the Love that you were meant to give;
Since the day you first breathed air; and first saw the sun. When You were Born.
How do you answer your calling? W-h-y You were Born.
May be, just may be...
It's the reason for your First C-R-Y, as you happened on A Strange World.
Holy Spirit, We Wait on Thee!
All Honour. All Glory. All Power.
To You!
Holy Father, we worship You,
Precious Jesus, our Saviour!
Holy Spirit, we wait on You,
Holy Spirit, we wait on You...
For F-i-r-e! ( Ah-Ah! )
For F-i-r-e! ( Ah-Ah! )
( Ron Kenoly )
Life's come, that's why we're here.
Already here.
Life's coming, that's why we're here,
Still here!
We're waiting for Life...more Life.
Another Life!
Waiting to get t-h-e-r-e...
A more abundant Life!
That's the only reason we're alive; to see what's gonna happen n-e-x-t.
Magic.
Life is magical.
Life is mystical. Life is whimsical.
Life is melodramatic, if you like.
Nonetheless,
Life is d-i-v-i-n-e.
Life is Evolutionary...Life is Revolutionary.
And the Oracle is GOD.
If we'd allow Him to take us...t-h-e-r-e.
But when HE,
The Spirit of Truth Comes;
He'll guide you
Into all truth.
He'll not speak on His own,
He'll speak only what He hears;
And He'll tell You
What's Yet To Come.
( John 16: 13 )
Retro:
Life's old, and coming from many places.
Our poppa's groin; our momma's bosom.
Known a sister's hug; felt a brother's touch.
And a friend's grin.
Call it a husband's tease; name it a wife's nag.
Okay. We know it.
Tasty Fried Chicken, or Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Whatever.
Been to McDonald's, or Wal-mart.
A coffee at Starbucks?
A book at Barnes & Noble?
WhatsApp or Facebook or Twitter?
Your cell phone:
Google it - "Waiting To Exhale".
Author Terry McMillan understands our aspirations;
The all too human l-o-n-g-i-n-g!
We've been there.
And done that, you know.
But that's the half-of-it.
If you know what I'm saying.
It's not sobs. It's not hisses.
Neither murmurs.
That ain't The Life.
I'm standing here alone
With no one to turn to.
All I want are answers!
But I seem to be getting it confused
With my own...
What to do,
What to do?
( D. Canatian )
Fast Forward:
Now, born again...with f-i-r-e.
Alive with the heavenly Father's Spirit
We can survive all that, the former things;
And move forward...A New Place in Life.
Our D-R-E-A-M.
Yea, it's Another Life;
Where the Father meets the Son.
Where the divine meets the human.
In the day, we walk with men.
At night, we pray with the stars.
Our minds beam with sunshine;
Our hearts glow with moonlight.
This is L-I-V-I -N-G...this is L-O-V-I-N-G... Beyond Borders!
A life...beyond drinking and dining.
A life...beyond damsels and dolls.
A life...beyond dimes and dollars.
Open-minded,
To a paradigm shift!
Never pessimistic,
But optimistic;
At anything of value
And substance!
Let others rationalize
To find reasons;
Act on issues
With sound mind.
No jesting around,
Just do things right.
( Marvin Brato, Sr )
TAKE IT, LIFE!
It's a diamond...rare.
A rough gemstone in your hand.
Cut it...shine it.
Put it in your heart, where it belongs truly.
And let it come out,
The shape of LOVE...
YOUR CALLING! Your LOVE!
Where the SPIRIT Of GOD breathes...
The work is done. Your work is done.
A deal...A covenant.
Immutable. Finito!
"It's finished!", proclaimed Jesus, on Calvary.
You're just waiting to un-fold,one step at a time.
Like a diamond, one twinkle, then another.
Nothing but to pray...
'Cause He's the only Reason
Why I'm A-l-i-v-e;
Right now:
He's the Only Reason.
Why I don't follow my flesh.
( D. Canatian )
MY WORK, MY LOVE!
That's naturally mine, not yours.
Body and Soul.
It lives...it breathes.
By the Holy Spirit, that is!
It's A WORK THAT PRAYS.
A love...that reaches.
Cut in my heart's shape, not yours;
It's a diamond...that will shine through!
L-i-k-e a diamond, a friend f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
The MIDAS TOUCH...a gift of GOD.
Spirit of Life...and...Love.
Robust. Opulent.
A FORTUNE.
Already paid-in-full.
My DREAM is on...Beyond Borders.
Beyond Dolls. Beyond Dollars.
But?
Love...without end!
Maybe not your kind of love.
Strange is our situation
Here on Earth.
Each of us
Comes for a short visit;
Not knowing why?
But sometimes,
Seeming to divine a purpose.
There comes a time:
When the Mind
Takes a higher Plane of Knowledge;
But can never prove
How it got t-h-e-r-e.
All great discoveries
Have involved such
A leap!
( Albert Einstein )
It's a language, "a tongue", that He taught me.
And is still teaching me, day after day.
Believe it or not.
If it be the Spirit of God that I listen to;
My Life'll be:
ALRIGHT, Boy! You'll SEE.
Well?
That's it, Spirit-filled Life, on the same page with God. I pray.
This is Love, too legit to quit!
I can see flower
Upon which my life grows;
Blooming into a Rose.
See the hope,
And courage in the strength of the petals.
As long as I AM
I Will BE.
The flower will never wilt or die.
I Will Rise with my petals HIgh,
My LIfe.
As a flower I will bloom,
And prosper as I grow.
I will stand as one,
But not a lonely soul.
The tear will be far from
My Smile.
( Chase )
