Good afternoon, all,

Hi, CAshtn16,
Thanks for sharing your poem, I think it's pretty.

Hi, neofight,
Well, there's a thought, but I doubt the staff will violate her moderation.

God loves all of you and yours, lurkers, too,
Don

Don,

I sent a querry to the staff to see if they can unlock the room. I tried the PM, to no avail.

Peace and all good!

Melody of Eternity

You entrance
We dance
The melody
Of eternity
Soothes me

Your words
Heal me
Your very presence
And balm
Brings calm

To a child
So often wild
Who longs
For the face
And the embrace
That brings peace

Hold out the hand
Hold out your heart
And we will stand
A world apart

And yet, we know
The world is torn
And love will grow
When peace is born

So take my hand
And take a chance
This wounded land
Should learn to dance

Good evening, all,

Hi, roseo,
Thanks for the word about Eddy.
As far as the moderator, go to the Bible study page, and look under the title and intro, and you will see where it says, group founded by AMB22011. Click on that name, and send a PM to her. If you haven't joined, PM to her you would like to join. If you're already a member, then PM to her like I already have, that there are people waiting to join the group. Maybe if enough of us write to her, she'll come back and resume responsibility for her group.

I like your poem, roseo.


Hi, Victor,
I think it's in Proverbs, a verse that helped my search for peace of mind: "To be carnal minded is death and to be spiritual minded is life and peace."

Hi, prodigalson,
See my note to roseo on how to write to the moderator.

Hi, sheilakathy,
What a sad poem. I hope things cheer up, for you.


God loves all of you and yours,
Don

IDENTITY

Theft of my face
my eyes
my inner child
leaves me with
nightmares
wild horses
couldn't possibly
outrun or even
come close
to place
in this
horse race
started by
cruelty
long ago
set in place.

Civil war
long ago
evened the score
though I alone
might
implore
those who'd judge
me to the core.

Hatred never ceased
nor was it
released
from its prison
with bars of sunlight
dorpped under
the waters
of my mind unprepared
just eternally
scared.

Lord have mercy.

sk

prodigal son...don't know how at the moment..but will try to see if we can get that changed..was hoping don would find out..he's more up on these things.

victor---good searching prayer...let's see more of you here!!

roseo: the group is moderated, i.e. the person who created it has to admit you to the group. Unfortunately, this person appears to not be around any longer, so my join request has gone unanswered.

A Prayer

Lord, why do I search in vain?
I yearn for peace as fish for water,
As flowers for fresh air.
Yet my life lies in tatters.
Where are you hiding, Lord?
What kind of peace can I find?
Mine or yours? Thus do I search.
Need I climb treacherous mountains?
Or meander down the verdant vales?
Trek narrow paths or saunter wide roads?
Utter prayers or flirt with temptations?
Suffer anguish or relish in relief?

Until it dawned on me that
You can only be found
Deep down in my heart,
Surrounded by all my good and bad.
And all I want is experience the feeling
That you love me as your child.
My heart urges me to shout,
My joy will echo among mountain tops,
Or reverberate in deep lush vales,
Oh let me follow you in new ways of life.,
That I might love you for the good of the world.
That You accept me and forgive me,
In Our Father's name, Amen.

searching

the sky
a hazy firmament
of a place beyond.

dreams a float
upon oceans
of bliss

sees all
sees none

wisps of light
piercing the
darkness of reality.
