In His Will

Whatever should happen today, to me, along my present way,
While I am on this earthly sod, upon the path planned by God;
When you look behind my story, it is for God’s ultimate Glory,
While I live out all my earthly days, I give to God all the praise.

Whether there’s sunshine or rain, God is with me in joy or pain,
Suffering God may well prescribe, but in my Lord I shall abide,
I may even need to take a bitter pill, as God works out His Will,
But the bad taste won’t remain, as God’s Joy outlasts the pain.

All pain and frustration I can bear, because I know God is there,
For God is with me at every step, while in His Grace, I am kept.
Being kept through every fiery trial, for He’s my God, no denial,
And He will be with me to the end; Jesus Christ, my best friend.

Whatever His Will, it’ll be done, and I will just follow God’s Son,
Who always goes ahead of me, on my journey towards eternity;
Christ showed us real sacrifice, when He paid the ultimate price,
To place me where I am today, upon that Christ led Narrow Way.

Being in God’s Will, you will find, in any place, a peace of mind,
In His Will, is the very best place, being sustained by His Grace,
As His hand leads you along, while He fills your heart with song,
For knowing the last stop will be, your home in Heaven eternally.

How Much Better

I know God and God knows me, how much better could life be,
To know The God of Eternity, The One in control of my destiny,
Having a relationship with His Son, my Lord, as all is said done,
Knowing personally Jesus Christ, God will afford me eternal life.

Knowing the God of creation, He leads you on your destination,
With a path marked out for you, which He shall see you through,
Not alone in this life, instead, He’s planned your path well ahead,
And you’ll be led in this life, by the Great Shepherd Jesus Christ.

The One who’s with us all the way, never leaving us night or day,
When in God’s Spirit, we abide, Christ is there, right by our side,
God’s even near when we stray, as Christ’s Spirit is here to stay,
Dwelling in our hearts endlessly, until that time we reach Eternity.

Knowing there’s nothing we will face, without our Savior’s Grace,
Grace sufficient through anything, knowing Christ is Eternal King,
The One who sustains all we know, goes with us wherever we go,
Whether times are bad or good, He is with us, that’s understood.

Christ from me, shall not depart, as His Spirit dwells in my heart,
And Christ gave His Peace to me, so I could live life abundantly,
As I journey upon life’s byways, God fills me with joy and praise,
Knowing my way, He won’t forget, how much better could it get?

Then And Why

I shall enter into eternal bliss, for God’s call I didn’t miss,
God’s call upon my life, to accept His Son, Jesus Christ,
It was God’s Spirit drawing me, allowing my eyes to see,
From God’s Holy Revelation, that I needed His Salvation.

I will enter right into Paradise, for The Lord paid the price,
On a bloody cross of Calvary, where He had died for me,
Making atonement for my sin, to cleanse me deep within,
With Christ’s precious blood, all provided by God’s Love.

I shall see my Savior’s face, all by God’s Amazing Grace,
Provided by God’s Only Son, grace enough for everyone,
Grace that pardoned my iniquity, that I could live eternally,
With my Savior, Jesus Christ, when I begin my eternal life.

I will be completely changed, in the way God prearranged,
Like every soul born again, when we go from now to then,
Receiving a new body glorified, so in Heaven I can reside,
Changed, to enter eternal bliss, I’ll see Christ just as He is,

I will stand with my Creator, to reign with Christ my Savior,
This, by God’s grace alone, I will stand before His Throne,
Saved by His work on Calvary, where Christ redeemed me,
Then God raised Jesus Christ, to grant His own eternal life.

I Have God

I have God and God has me, He’s my guide to eternity,
Where I am, God will be, for my Lord watches over me,
I’m always in God’s sight, as He watches day and night,
Knowing He’s always right, His Word’s my guiding light.

Like Abraham, called friend, God is with me to the end,
With me at every bend, together in Eternity we’ll spend,
He is my Savior and my Guide, from me, He won’t hide,
When in God’s Spirit I abide, He is with me, by my side.

God is with me day by day, as I walk in the narrow way,
Forever with me He will stay, as I enter Heaven one day,
He’s with me on this sod, leading me with staff and rod;
My hope is to see His nod, when I see the Face of God.

This as God, above I serve, with a hope I don’t deserve,
As my life God will preserve, so eternally He I can serve,
For it was God, Who saved me, so I could live eternally,
He saved me from the night, giving me His Eternal Light.

By my God I won’t be denied, as His Spirit dwells inside,
My Savior who calls me friend, gave me life with no end,
For He sent to us Jesus Christ, to become our Sacrifice,
Not just affording me Paradise, but granting Eternal Life.

Wiosny już chyba nie będzie

Szła zima. Już była.
Wagabunda wyszukał na polanie
schronienie z desek,
do posiedzenia na złą pogodę,
na odgrzewanie wspomnień.

Każdy ranek zanosił przed oczy
coraz więcej mgieł i pomieszania. A nocą
cyniczny mróz podpełzał niewidzialnie,
choć mocno dymiło ogniskiem
i berbeluchą.

Przemoknięte myśli powoli kapały, ściekały.
Połączone stawały się jednym, lśniącym,
mocnym postanowieniem. W świetle dnia
obserwował nawet krystalizację, cóż,
jedynie sopli lodu.

Temperatura uczuć wyraźnie podnosiła się
pod wpływem.

Zamiast cudnych gwiazdek
prosto z nieba, na twarzy brudny śnieg,
że nie można utrzymać fasonu.

Już nie zgarniał.

At times (English sonnet]

At times she says that she does love me
but my innermost feelings to her is unknown.
Sometimes she is angry, chilly or acts with sincerity
and it feels as if on the big old earth I am alone.

At times my words she does not notice, or when I pass by,
or even the small things that I in love do
and I wonder if another has caught her eye
when her words and actions hurts me through

and daily I am more and more lost while the world goes on,
whilst at times rain pours down, or brightly the sun does shine
and all hope and what is left of life seems gone
while she lives in her own world and I in mine

and she acts as if she knows me barely,
as if continually from me she wants to be free.

FAREWELL

They will not allow the assisted suicide.
The beetles; fiery and drunk.

After the betrayal of arithmetic,
the spiral staircase.

Fireflies set foot on the skies
to measure the darkness.

The fire between us, of burning fat,
of thousand years, terrifies me.

Moon bleeds on grass, I prick the
voice of the hugging earth.

The salt of the lips now hurts
it was your parting kiss, O sun!

Poem: Set Your Mind (Spiritual Secret)

Pay attention to what God wants to show you;
embrace the regenerated self created in God’s image;
a wandering mind of distractions, unable to focus,
leads you to trouble and and adverse situations,
when not following the principles of Christ Jesus.

To sincerely follow your heart’s desire,
while avoiding the issues of double-mindedness,
you must properly set and keep your mind;
when waiting on God’s timing for your life,
the things that you will actually find…

are the genuine blessings that God had intended.
While the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
personal growth is only possible via humility;
exaggerated opinions of oneself are dangerous,
for they severely impact your spiritual acuity.

Seriously concentrate on the higher things of God!
Renewed thoughts come from studying of The Word
and a humbled mind of Christ becomes accessible.
Trust the Bible and apply its truths, whereby…
earthly problems are still divinely addressable.

Author Notes:

Loosely based on:
Col 3:2-3, 11; Phil 2:5; 1 Cor 2:16; 1 Pet 5:6;
Rom 8:5-6, 12:3; Eph 4:22-24; Jam 1:8

Am I my brother’s keeper?

“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Cain answered the omnipotent Lord God
as if a brotherly relationship did not go much deeper
and this answer seems odd

as if he did not have his brother’s blood on his hands
as if his brother had travelled away to distant lands

and I wonder where our own responsibility do begin
or do we choose to live a life of sin
to be political correct
and just to fit in,

when our country is turned into chaos
and people try to survive at any cost

while daily we do meet a sister or brother
from another father and mother,
see our own people begging on the street
and we have no concern for each other,

drive the newest most expensive luxury cars
gather with others in fortress houses and bars

while the new kind of racism know as affirmative action
destroys lives, do reserve jobs by the colour of skin
and we do build our lives around ourselves as a reaction
while we do believe that we can survive and win

and somewhere the unlucky ones are retrenched, loose their lives
cars, property and wives,

and all kind of hope suddenly to them is gone
while for all others life goes on
as if no corruption, crime and suppression does occur
and people’s hearts become rock solid like stone

while the Redistribution and development programs
is catching speed and so does greed,
(and the revenge of the dark people) in lives are like epigrams
while some people are in real need

and kill themselves while they are unwilling to beg for salvation
while others beg at street corners as if it’s their real occupation
and others like Abraham trust daily on God to provide,
to be a friend, a shelter and a true guide.

An Amalgamation of Weird

Reality pervades the word
Making worlds seem blue
And colors all green
In the eye of a spectator
If I think about me
I will become dead
A dry concept that must be maintained
A burden to myself

She looks at me
And makes a mold
That I must carry around
And love to behold
But if I can just
Pay attention to the touch
Of finger tips on keys
And skin on bones
I’ll be left alone
By myself
To wither away
And die
My ego, my self-image
Renounced with no act of renunciation
But left to wither

Without being fed
Without being thought
Led out on to
The crystal space of maze
A torrential downpour
From my throat
That abhors me
And turns light into the shadow of genius
Renounce!!!
And skip as one with no skipper
Act with no actor
Action alone
But without action either
For there must be an actor
Let the periods dry out
And the emotions run cold
There will be six cents
That no words can behold
And break off the tulip
Turn a new leaf
