Twice a day
a Jew must say
‘Shema Yisroel’ – ‘Hear, O Israel
The Lord, our God, the Lord is One’ *
Early morning, late in the eve
twice a day, no reprieve
‘The Lord, our God, the Lord is One’
How early can he say it -
the faithful do not want to delay it -
When he can recognize his friend from up close
is the earliest he can say it…
In order to recognize the Creator
recognizing our friends is the initiator
Profound is this connection ~
In every face is God’s reflection
_____________________________________
*'Shema Yisroel' are the first two words of a
248-word prayer recognizing the authority of
the Kingdom of Heaven. It is said first thing
in the morning and last thing at night, 365
days a year.
Filling his verse with metaphor
Vers libre,not metre was the core,
He lit the fuse and walked away-
So little did his talent yield,for
He left his light on Flanders Field

Now is the time for a visionary
Where is that visionary
Now is the time for an initiator
Where is that initiator
Now is the time for a steady hand
Where is that steady hand
Now is the time for an extraordinary man
Though ours may be doing the best he can
Alpha to omega
Beginning to our end,
For all to see
Who is,was and will be.
Alpha to omega
Ruler,initiator
Above,beyond our time
Banishing strife,fountain of life.
To listen for his call,
The destiny of all.

I like faint fire I feel
fueling me with fervor
for far off places without you
I like sweet scent of spring I smell
when you fan the flames
ignited by your carefree hand
I like warmth seeping in
letting my blood course free
with unpredictable energy
I like refreshing air I breathe
just seeing freedom lay waiting me -
sole initiator of breezy times
I like option one and two
of the whole shebang of things
I am free to do, or not do
I like how instant choice to vent
is mine, though time after time
... I've crossed no line ...
I like solitary silence
taking me by the hand
Soothing aches you've unhand
I like Creator's time
so packed with magic
My sole therapeutic fix.

Carols let you in on history and its interpretation,
Church thought and theological progression,
Show that people and writers have learnt the lesson,
Not to believe in god so thoroughly and to be of good reason.
We’ve learnt to move the god meme over to reside in derivation,
To human beings, to people and to their postulation,
In derivation to Jesus, as one of these people, an initiator with a motion,
Who wished for humankind that all the ill were given a kinder notion.
Christinna Georgina Rossetti in her hymn of devotion,
Equated Jesus with nature, not nature with Jesus, obviation,
Because the snow came first according to In The Bleak Midwinter composition,
And the ox and ass were enough for the lord, the baron.
She ended with Jesus requiring our all, not god or divination,
By demoting god to a lesser place, a quieter spot by a dumber meditation,
By stating that our own daily lives are relational to the son, not just a projection,
Not a false image of our personalities that we make only for god’s gratification.
God has given me everything
But still I don't know what I want
What interests me?
Don't know
It's like everything I had wanted
God gives
And the ultimate of all
- I got it the other day
Peace - the end of my struggle
with God - the initiator of it all
So what now?
What should I be striving for?
I already got
I am so happy
so fulfilled
Yet I still want the impossible
What? I don't know
God knows
And He ain't telling me
Ha
I will have to find out
Satisfied I am
Driven - much more
Am I satisfied of being stand still?
No
Forever is driving me on
So what do You have in mind?
