 Beyond the Bounds of Darkness a Tree Of Life
 Eternal by the Fire, Eternal by the Light
 Above the expanse Of Infinitude
 Hail Glorious, Mighty be these Beatitudes...

Upon the Mount with crowds gathered round
Jesus began the Law to expound.
     But first for right attitudes
     he taught them Beatitudes.
Then hearing in awe all were spellbound.

Collages diffuse vanilla vistas
such effulgence waltzing to violet tempos
though the forestalling of waterfalls
evolves into a gargantuan war
weapons whistle from the mountains
beatitudes of mirth shan’t ever be eradicated...

If I were you,
and you were me,
what a difference it would
make in our attitudes.

If we could switch
for just one day,
we’d be forever changed
in our views.

We’d be more understanding
of different outlooks,
And we could better employ
The Beatitudes.




Matthew 5:3-12...

Owing a debt
you can never repay
Beatitudes leveraged
salvation in play

Moments beholden
to all that’s to come
Providence calling
in voices unsung

Eternally liable
the invoice sublime
Whose terms reverential
the bursar Divine

The wings of an angel
the wings of a dove
In debt to forgiveness
—absolved from above

I'm humble
mine is the kingdom of heaven
I'm mourning 
I'll be comforted

I'm meek 
the earth is my heritage
I'm hungry & thirsty for righteousness 
I will be satisfied

I'm merciful 
I'll obtain mercy
I'm pure of heart
I'm seeing God

I'm a peacemaker 
I'm called son of God
I'm persecuted for the sake of righteousness 
Mine is the kingdom of heaven...

To my friends and family

You are the ones who let me in
When I need an Inn
Even when I have to stay in a kraal
You will still make that call
On this day of joy and love
I wish you happiness
As described by the beatitudes
Happiness that blossoms in any weather
Outgrowing weeds lashed together
Another day will follow this day
I pray the spirit with stay this way
Merry Christmas...

dancing butterflies
on her closed lids
enlightened retinae
flowering of relaxation
awareness is meditation
naked pink lips
in anticipation
of an extended tantra
temptation of sacred sins
beatitudes on the mountain
healing of the blind
labourers in the vine-
yard of love
we are opening our
fourth eye
death is the wage of sin
false prophets
across the rapid river
[just now inspired by the picture}...

Blessings bring brilliant and bright hues
Boosting breaths of bashful balance
Beckoning beautiful beliefs to bring
Benefits to believers who blissfully
Blossom in buds of bounteousness

Blessings brighten beatitudes that bring
Brave and breathtaking breezes of
Bubbling, brisk benevolence to the
Brokenhearted who brim over with
Boundless, booming, bold brevity

Breathing blessings better known as
Beloved, blissful breaths from the Bible

Blessed be the dreamers, 
for they know how to hope.

Blessed be the mothers,
for they know the value of life.

Blessed be the faithful,
for they know the power of prayer.

Blessed be the wanderers,
for they know the ways of the world.

Blessed be the silent,
for they know how to truly listen.

Blessed be the teachers,
for they know the joy of a child.

Blessed be the lost,
for they know how it feels to be found.

Blessed be the joyful,
for they know the importance of laughter....

Sometimes I return unto the old neighborhood

To take a stroll down recollections lane....

Silver mesh thousand foot tall cyclone fences

Capped in razors edge; finding the windows

That they longingly peered through as within

These shackles they bled; amid the blindness

Of their eyes in this beatitudes story

Told, once upon a threshfuls time; polarized

By the Northern Star; where Angels sing....
