P O W E R ... A WORD... A CONSCIOUSNESS...

P O W E R, a word that bears the numerological number of 77 denoting CHRIST Consciousness... Each letter a petitioning ... 

be it of...

Peace

Omnipresence 

Wonder 

Eternal

Resolve ... in the name of the LORD in PRAISE.

WORDS in Revelation 

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

 

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... 

BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

In time of call, in time of need

And to another I with heart to give

My WILL of life to love and live

'Tis only what I in heart command

Be known to another as a helping hand

Be they the WAY given to Truth, Power, Love, Grace

Within the chambers of heart to place

Each finger holding purpose and claim

Blessed they BE in our Lord's name.

In time of call, in time of need, 

in prayerful gestures of faith.

Birth ~ Death... and so it is asked... what be the purpose ... and so in reflective dialogue...

 

What BE

what be the purpose of words to share

but to know of one's heart expressing care

what be the purpose of banner and praise

but to bring celebration to our gift of days

what be the purpose to guide and teach

but to know that beauty and truth are within our reach

what be the purpose to know of time, space and measure

but to account for life's perceived treasure

what be the purpose to know of vistas so very far

but to know that we too hold the light of a star

what be the purpose to know of history and time's story

but to understand the ever present quest for power and glory

what be the purpose of drama and stage

but to act out the calling of soul, time and age

what be the purpose of music, dance and a song to sing

but to know the pulsing our hearts do bring

what be the purpose to draw, paint, sculpt, to hold a vision divine

but to revere and mark in splendor a life yours, a life mine

what be the purpose of holding accord of word and deed

but to live the honor of our days as a blessed creed

what be the purpose of each passing day

but to live in grandeur the blessings of THE WAY.

On the 5th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me

On the 5th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Five golden rings

Five blessings do they bring

Each finger circled in gold ever bright

Holding splendor and wondrous light

THE WAY the first finger does call

The second seeks TRUTH for all

The third is POWER to do and be

The fourth LOVE shared with a you, a me

The fifth is GRACE divine

All in harmonious devotion mine

A hand with five golden rings

Five blessings do they bring.

Upon arising to this day new... heed wise...

A hankering, a beckoning of heart

A dream, a vision, a knowing from the very start

A reaching for what the soul says you are to BE

Beyond the limits of a perceived reality

Heed wise the inner flame and fire

It is Spirit's knowing, knowing desire

Feel the soaring that holds you true

Live the light, the power, the passion of YOU.

 A word... letters that call to its meaning...

                                                                     

                                                        the Silence heard
                                                        the Power known
                                                        the Inspiration lived
                                                        the Resolve revealed
                                                        the I AM
                                                        the TRUTH eternal.

Pulsing Flow

power off - no electricity
the quietude barren of machines
motors, TV, radio, telephone, computer
the hush of electrical toil and task
in this silence what do I hear
the ambient sounds that echo all that is
the gentle call of the wind
the wind chime melody
the songbird song
the pulsing flow of all
the sounding feel of a breath known
a breath known
a breath known.
