    re Teddy Bear

    We are so pragmatic, to the point of cruel,
    Our personal perceptions do not over- rule,
    That others have their feelings and we don't understand,
    Where those feelings came from, they're not at our command
    Strange as it may seem, it might have been a need,

    For some to throw your memory.
    That you had wrong perceived.
    It won't have been in cruelty If you care to ask.
    It may have been a higher source, to which you were held fast.

    You may even find,
    That you now have recourse.
    To re-create your soul,
    To move on past the source.
    Of all you thought was safe; yet found it was not so.

    Living in the present and held onto the past
    And held onto a grief. You never thought would last.
    Throwing out the childhood, becoming all you can.
    You can rise above this, and prove you are a man.

    James B(all) Naylor

    King David and King Solomon
    Led merry, merry lives,​
    With many, many, lady friends
    And many, many, wives;​
    But when old age crept over them,
    With many, many qualms,​
    King Solomon wrote the Proverbs
    And King David wrote the Psalms.

    HIGHWAYS

    Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly
    as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through
    psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God
    with gratitude in your hearts.

    HighWays

    I was lost before I found you . Now I'm rambling on

    that path again . The one with you on it . It is one of

    my favorite passages . I can step out here and weave

    the delicate threads of all the components that are

    parts of you . Examining all the little bits of you that

    tickle me so those smiles move across my features

    and this warmth spreads itself throughout my being .

    It is a well traveled road and I take excursions here

    frequently one of the many treks I enjoy . Here I can

    look at you from every angle , explore and feast my

    thoughts around you. I can move over every square

    inch that I can see or have seen . It's such a pleasure

    and fills all the empty places. So pleasant . Even

    when you are not here , I can turn my thoughts in

    a mere moment and you are present with me . I

    always feel better after I have these voyages where

    I walk in view of you .

    Over the years I've accumulated all these little

    treasures about you I've stored here. The ones I

    can take out , turn over and gaze upon happily ,

    every little facet of you . Truly my treasury is full

    and I take you out into the open spaces where

    I can walk among them . Sometimes I think you

    might be aware you live here , but surely you are

    not aware of how often I visit you here. And when

    I get to see you in person I probably won't remember

    even to tell you about them. But when I'm not with

    you , I want you to know that you are with me and

    I need to have you here on these journeys . I have

    more than a few of these trails , well worn and

    easy to follow . You probably didn't know that so I

    thought I'd tell you here in a place you can come

    and visit and be reminded about a path that leads

    you home where you can find comfort . I've written

    it because the spoken word slips away and is for-

    gotten so easily but the written word you can

    reach for and open frequently so you can remember

    how I feel about you when you are feeling Lost .

    You can come here and make your own treasury of

    all of those you HOLD DEAR and how they will

    put a smile on your face and fill your heart with

    the soft steady gentle leading of Love .

    NOTIONS

    His childhood ship..... had paper sails
    with chopstick masts..... and toothpick rails
    kite string rigging..... and popsicle oars
    on cedar shingle..... drifted pond shores

    He dreamt adventures..... and drank in their tales
    lives of the sailors.... of a squalls betrayals
    of a ships captain..... and galleon seamen
    of the cabin boys..... and the prisoned freemen

    Love tales of Mermaids..... and of the monsoons
    stories of Mariners..... and those of harpoons
    of tidal Pool creatures..... in black shore lagoons
    and of mighty whales..... beneath the Typhoons

    He ate the tales..... like a noontime meal
    of the courageous ..... and their hearts of steel
    the drawing up nets..... with the greatest catch
    of living a life ..... none other could match

    Visit the Mangroves ..... where crustaceans hide
    fingerling catfish ..... and mudskippers slide
    of all the stories..... which regaled the oceans
    of the things he dreamt..... and childhood notions

    of shipping cargo's..... by seas and by lands
    of a nations trades ..... and feeding demands
    of dynasties built..... and the monies made
    of conquering worlds ..... his planning was laid

    Of the ports and docks..... were the galleons lashed
    of the levies he paid ..... and the checks were cashed
    The dreams of the boys ..... who grow into men
    of life's realities ..... that bring men to sin

    He would fight pirates ..... and the seas buccaneers
    kill with a sword blade ..... and wrangle his fears
    He molded his life ..... like castles in sand
    not knowing how much ..... of his heart they demand

    Of the ruthless men ..... who govern the seas
    who held not to laws ..... but did as they please
    broken was childhood ..... the nobility of dreams
    His character was lost..... in material things

    COLLATIONS


    Spent time enough...... upon this road

    to know the things....... I think are gold

    don't give a hoot......... bout wealth or fame

    if you're famous ......... and made a name





    My life's simple........... have my own dreams

    my own pursuits......... and my own leans

    but these are those ...... that let me see

    what lies in you.......... your own beauty



    I understand............... what you've been through

    though life's unique..... but similar too

    you own your joy......... as I do mine

    its ups and downs....... the unsublime



    I've experienced life..... and all it's dirt

    our ecstasies.............. of all our hurt

    foolish man said......... I crossed the line

    I wasn't worth............ his thought or time



    Forgive me now......... should I not see

    all the meaning .......... your life needs be

    sometimes I'm bound in my own thought

    to remember............. what life has taught



    That I glory .............. in what is you

    individuality .............. it's what we do

    I've shed my tears....... and held your hand

    same under stars........ the same earth stand

    JUDGEMENT DAY


    I watch the tumbling waters
    and ever present ocean spray
    upon the land sons and daughters
    lift their hands in praise to pray

    The earth is once again renewed
    all things that harm are gone
    all those who walk in Love conclude
    they are where they all belong

    In the zenith of the day
    with skill their talents seek
    gifts in men do show the way
    the inheritance of the meek

    The earth it’s riches freely gives
    and the wolves dwell with the sheep
    together calves and lion lives
    no violence shall living keep

    Gods love the face of nature shape
    within exists no breathing thing to fear
    those who do Gods war escape
    will no more be shedding tear

    A thousand years will Jesus reign
    before Lucifer is released
    imprisoned was he in Jah’s chain
    for the keeping of the peace

    And lead he will the final war
    along with those deceived
    from fire of God he’ll exist no more
    and those who him believed

    What is truth to finite man
    who know within short time to stand
    all know they live within the fall
    and eternity imprinted upon us all

    A child shall die an hundred years old
    and the sinner will not escape
    as all mankind is now God’s fold
    and our choice will our future shape

    sources Isaiah 11 & 65 Revelation 20

    BENEATH THE SURFACE

    Have you swam the forests............ under the seas
    glided it's waters ............ wandered it's keys
    watched the gray giants ............ and albino squid
    attached to kelp leaves ............ sharks eggs were hid


    Clouded by algae ............ just being born
    followed the whales ............ rounding Cape Horn
    watching up rivers ............ salmon schools run
    fur seals cartwheeling ............ under the sun


    soft twinning corals ............ swaying like trees
    waving their branches ............ as if in breeze
    Fingers of hydra ............ grasping their meals
    under sea ferns ............ unrolling their reels


    the cuddlefish hug ............ the limbs of it's mate
    a new generation ............ they're about to create
    wondering wherever ............ your wonder has gone
    wondering how species ............ can gender our song


    a manatee grazes ............ upon the sea grass
    beneath the boats ............ ocean swarms underpass
    in every color ............ every rainbow and hue
    daily inquiry ............ into what do they do


    so graceful like ............ ballerinas they play
    wandering it's reaches ............ by night and day
    the nudibranches ............ scaling their hills
    Lobsters saluting ............ and razorfish drills


    swimming the whirlpools ............ with shapely tails
    jackass penguins ............ and jellies with sails
    predict the movements ............ of the Blue whales
    picture the angels ............ sacheting their trails


    shimmering glitters ............ sparkling the sands
    finwalkers walking ............ as if they had hands
    leatherback babies............ skimming the tides
    upon water fountains ............ the sea urchin's slides


    a red emperor............ ruling the the strays
    roving the shoals............ edging the bays
    basket stars wrapping ............ themselves in embrace
    the straights and fjords ............ where sea otters race


    pipefishes drifting ............ the eels in their caves
    upon the reef floors ............ fish dancing their raves
    shoveling and building ............ with undersea tools
    the Jacks and Jills ............ swimming to schools


    tubeworms array ............ upon hot water vents
    where clownfish play............ anemone tents
    surfing the currents............ and ocean spray
    moving so swiftly ............ they're off and away


    composed of armies ............ marching the streams
    sea mountain passages ............ and sub...marine dreams
    within the reef beds............ creches do sleep
    in seaweed meadows............ lives in the deep


    Marlins found herding ............ sardines and smelt
    it's all the playground ............ sea lives have been dealt
    life's exhibition ............ an endless parade
    so many wonders ............ radiantly displayed

    Psalm 8

    4 What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?
    5 You have made them a little lower than the angels]
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
    6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their feet:
    7 all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
    8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.
    9 YHWH , our Lord,

    LIMITED EDITION

    A thousand years..... was just yesterday
    in fifty will you have learned what matters most
    You appear unable to obey the simplest laws
    you have been gently led by and been whispered their truths

    .......... you were gifted with the ability to reason
    .......... you were gifted with mercy
    .......... you were gifted with compassion
    .......... you were granted forgiveness of sins , errors , failings

    Around you is a cosmos in a procession of infinite order
    The earth is drenched in the the richest
    abundance of every thing that is desirable
    every rooms canvas brilliantly adorned
    constructed to fill you with joy and appreciation
    every excellence woven into their creations
    you were designed to master life
    and created to comprehend it's secrets

    .......... But you take and you steal
    .......... destroy , every answer to what
    .......... you desire is loaded with violence
    .......... you stretch out your arms with
    .......... intent , not to build each other
    .......... but to insult their life
    .......... your own brother , mother , sister , father

    You have boundaries , and they ARE fixed
    you can defy your design but it will inflict much pain
    you obey gravity to avoid it's damage but neglect virtue
    .......... innumerable talents were showered on you

    yet every clay tablet , papyrus , scroll ,
    document , book , history , writing
    fully demonstrates the easy road to corruption
    whose maw is full and overflowing
    and the weapons of warfare now
    cover the very surface of what was
    ............. a paradise
    while you slice , dice , chop
    your way through your family of humanity
    and if that isn't enough
    you shoot , bomb , burn , poison
    children , mothers , family
    and leave a wake of destruction
    so much easier to burn that pinch
    of incense to POWER
    than to face keeping your integrity
    to life , and not to submit
    your support to the roads of death .

    CHARISMA

    And those that were wise spoke among themselves
    They took note of the darkness
    spoke of things past and things yet future
    they collected the news
    the times and the seasons of men
    they watched carefully for the time
    to fulfill what was foretold
    and yet it was not the time
    but only a little time did each possess
    What will they do with this time
    but few living at the time found the Lord's Glories
    he was one who lived "in the trenches"
    not just fighting poverty but "poverty in spirit"
    he not only touched them but he loved them
    It's difficult to take my eyes off him
    the depth of his beauty of soul
    draws me like the herds to water
    as I seek to saturate myself
    with the looking at him
    and the wisdom of his words
    Choice words here about all that dogma
    if you are missing just this one thing
    it doesn't even hit close to the excellence
    manifest in his nature, and I want
    to explain it , clearly so
    we among ourselves can understand
    Where among men can you find such loyalty
    no one can even purchase the like of it
    nor has anyone been so completely
    committed to the benefit of others
    You don't hear it said often about those here
    "He was incorruptible" , irreproachable , thoroughly just
    without prejudice , and could aptly expound on the "wisdom of the ages"
    yes in the trenches "not killing people trenches" for war
    but where those who needed him could find him
    I have been searching for the "like of him"
    I have covered every quadrant looking for his fullness
    bits and pieces , bits and pieces
    and not even I with all that I have known
    can display such expanse of attributes
    so wholly desirable , that all the disputes of dogma
    are drowned in his essences
    so clear is the vision of him
    and transparent his motives and activity
    why would anyone exchange this pattern
    for something far less valuable?
    I want to slate my thirst and be saturated
    bathed in the love of him
    I want to commit it's energy into all my cells
    and yet the circumference of it's vastness
    exhausts me . I can only look upon the glory
    of such a person and be mesmerized
    by the shear depth of his exquisiteness
    of whom I could never be worthy

    to look upon such an incorruptible nature


    1John 4:20 ESV
    If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

    Excellent point Poetry, he and his son are totally unique in this way..!

    Even the best man is a pale shadow of God.

    just some of the more simple thoughts


    CHILDREN


    All my precious little gems
    how in my heart you shine
    you were all a gift from God
    that I could love all time

    In the natural order
    you’d have been home with me
    but the system works against
    all the ties of family

    Before I worked the System
    to myself I had you all
    my heart has long remained there
    before the system I did fall

    I read you Hiawatha
    by the fireplace at night
    beside the book of bible stories
    to give your minds insight

    answered questions and we counted
    pinto beans and popsicle sticks
    had friends with lots of children
    and a social life betwixted

    pleasant were the nights and days
    I could hug and boo boo’s kiss
    but upon the eve of workdays
    it was silence that I wished

    Problems had grown to mountains
    the obstacles to peace that last
    there was no place that I could turn
    for understanding could I ask

    I would have shown you the cosmos
    and the patterns of Mandelbrot
    watched the meteors when passing
    and the lakes where the rains do drop

    Would’ve climbed every mountain path
    and into the canyons walked
    a magnifying glass to plants
    of life’s mysteries have talked

    You have excelled my expectations
    your resiliency do I astound
    your minds and hearts have exceeded
    of course and problems turned around

    SLIDE RULE


    Be drift the moon across cloudless sky
    to shine it’s light upon the cloudy I
    beneath her gaze my darkened days
    where time has slowed and doesn’t quickly fly

    And crowded are the days in lonely thought
    considering those I know untimely bought
    thoughts take course in their own remorse
    upon those which time and chance has caught

    But spendthrift my joy within this time
    recalling laughter spent I bring to mind
    like vesture wear the things we’ad share
    that in the future will be left behind

    Stretch forth my hand to things from past
    and forward move beyond dies cast
    remembering the years forgetting all the tears
    throwing fears away with courage to standfast

    Bring back the soft happiness on the morrow
    and take away the grey grief and sorrow
    work me a happy tune play melodious soon
    for the joys tween times of grief we borrow

    ENDURING PROMISE


    You are tender

    and heart

    ....... does easy bruise

    kind and thoughfTul

    unlike those

    ....... who easy use

    with understanding

    overlooking

    ....... frailties

    and have provided

    promises

    ....... which ever please

    how gently

    ......... you embraced me

    and with your mantle

    ......... draped

    took me in and knew me

    where your love

    ......... in me was shaped

    left me with your token

    a seal set

    ......... upon my heart

    it bespeaks your promise

    in loyalty ne’er

    ......... to depart



    Heb 6:16-20

    my list says this one isn't on here , but I really don't want to
    go thru every page for a third time to check ...

    DIVINE CALLING


    Beneath celestial heavens do I kneel
    with crystalline gaze I look above
    and to eternal glory I appeal
    that be not denied divinely love

    As our earthly home upon its axis
    how can without love ones course be true
    and the life we’re given that it taxes
    so the colors of our lives within renew

    A chance the wine of joy within the chalice
    and smiles like those of angels do bestow
    happiness bedecks our hearts just like a palace
    the brightness in the eyes that ever glow

    As night draws to day and its decree
    this the only thing the pinnacle grand
    and minds probing all with curiosity
    to make bearable the life which in we stand

    to that course forever and not to deviate
    its purity rules universe and law
    the testing of our metal and not its fate
    where daily upon its strength we do draw

    As myriad upon myriad of history shown
    where shadows cast within our minds its doubt
    and love its apex and wonders ever known
    how children show us what that loves about

    With stalwart hearts a man and maid
    the beauty of the heavens share
    become one and stand in shade
    and life’s passions together wear

    Oh divine thing and wondrous fair
    that shines as bright as sun and star
    how fallen from divinity so near
    and its place of dwelling seems so far

    Can’st thou within our hearts so clone
    upon mankind its welcoming embrace
    that dwellest it within our earthly home
    and of its fragile mortality replace

    Hi POP

    Thought that was a beautiful picture of the pinwheel galaxy. I also clicked on the link to the picture of the cat paw nebula. :)
