Xecuting Perfection

A preachy poem, to participate in ABC Wednesday....check out the other X entries!
as well as Inspire Me Monday

Executing Perfection 

Of all the executions to which Christ could have succumbed

Have you ever understood that crucifixion was the only one?

An executioner was needed for that particular tortured death.

All other forms, one could execute on oneself, to stop one’s breath.

Stoning? Pull out the corner stone of a fragile wall.

Hanging? A rope, a belt, a stool from which to fall.

Immolation? Gasoline and a fire stick

Suffocation? A plastic bag will do the trick.

The list goes on and on for one to commit suicide.

 So why was it that crucifixion

Was the method of execution perfection?

That is for you to ponder, for you to decide.

Wrestling With A Heart Attack

Participating in ABC Wednesday letter W...with an instrumental for the young at heart♫♪

1. Blond and blue eyed in her jeans, gripping the wheel of her jeep

Casting her eyes down my way making my heart leap.

She passes by smiling and, tapping the horn, it beeps.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

Refrain

So wrangle this, and wrangle that.

I’m all a twist. Imagine that.

~

2. Hallways are crowded yet I feel all alone of all things

Books by her desk, she grabs her bag by its purse strings.

She stops to talk, and I am saved the bell, it rings.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

Refrain

I’m wrestling with a love attack.

She has me up against my back

She’s tied my heart.  There is no slack.

I hope she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

So wrangle this, and wrangle that.

I think I’m whipped. Imagine that.
(repeat and mixed)

Wrestling with a love attack. I’m all a twist

She has me up against my back. I’ll wrangle that.

She’s wrestling with a love attack. I think I’m whipped

She has me up against my back.  I’ll wrangle that.

She’s tied my heart

there is no going back.

Dream Quest

Linking to Alphabe-Thursday Letter D

Refrain:

I woke up and found I’d had a dream,

A vivid little dream.

Effect on me is overwhelming.

You were right outside my open door,

A fact I can’t ignore.

My dream quest is so all consuming.

I am ready now

Believe me

I can say right now

No faking

I’m back on the road to life

I’m taking

You right with me

I am on a dream quest

Refrain

I am on a quest, dream quest.

(mixed)

You’ve always been there.

Showing that you care.

I am now aware.

My quest’s beginning.

I am on a dream quest.

Refrain

I am on a quest, dream quest

(mixed)

I am ready now

Believe me

I can say right now

No faking

I’m back on the road to life

I’m taking

You right with me

I am on a dream quest

Change Is In The Air

and Inspire Me Monday
Check out other entries!

1. Listen in as I tell a tale

Of why change is in the air

Refrain:

Feel the shift

Of attitude and understand my place.

I have learned

The ultimate in understanding grace.

2. Used to be that I thought my plans

Were the ticket out of here.

My puny plan just would not congeal.

But I kept on,  I’d persevere.

3. People prayed that I’d find my way

But I scoffed at them. They were weird.

I walked a straight line and faked the good life but

 I really never really understood.

Refrain

 Always set the cart before the horse

Instead of just believing.

Evidence is all around me.

Now I have the chance

To change my core.

Revised refrain:

Feel the lift

Of attitude and understanding grace

I have learned

The ultimate in knowing my own place.

4. Daily now I look up to the sky,

I imagine how He’ll appear.

I see the world thru diffr’ent eyes,

The chaos holds no appeal.

5. Navigating thru my life of trials

Is easier you can see.

The change in me is so much better now,

no regrets and no “what ifs “ for me.

Revised refrain

Change is in the air 6X

Universal Truth

Participating in ABC Wednesday letter U....check out the other blogs!

T'is the season to talk about Christ and his birth, but more important is his Resurrection, thus I offer a poem:

Universal Truth 

For your perusal, contemplation:

The Resurrection verses Creation…

Of the two, The Resurrection is the bigger deal.

It was more intimate, personal, more real.

You see, creation is merely an equation

Arranging time, space, elementation.

But to cover the sins of all mankind

Took deep thought, sacrifice, a caring mind.

So the power expended was greater indeed.

We are to think on these things, in time of need

Actually, you should think it daily, today, tomorrow…

You’ll not regret it; it will lift your sorrow.

OK, I totally made up a word, poetic licence and all...

elementation: the adhesion of all physical laws in nature.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Cheers♥

Battle Hymn of the Republic

Cannot remember who taught me these verses, but I passed them on to my kids, my Girl Scout Troop and car pool kids.  Just wondered if anyone else was subjected to such whimsy♫♪

Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter B.  Check out the other participants!
These tongue twisting verses go to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic:

1. One pink porpoise popped up the hole

The other pink porpoise popped down 

One pink porpoise popped up the hole

The other pink porpoise popped down 

One pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down  

As one pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down

Refrain

Glory, glory how peculiar

Glory, glory how peculiar

Glory, glory how peculiar 

As one pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down

2. One free fly flew up the flue

The other free fly flew down...etc.

3. One warm worm wiggled up the walk

the other warm worm wiggled down...etc.

I'm sure more verses could be made up but these were enough to get everyone singing♫♪

Now that this is stuck in your head....deal with it! and have a nice day♥

Time for T....an entry for ABC Wednesday♫♪

1. There may be thunder in the mountains and thunder on the plains,

There may be rocks along the road and heartache down the lane.

Floods run down the hillside and fire takes the trees.

There's times when earth just opens up wide

And swallows all its needs.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each others fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain:

Thunder in the mountain

Precedes a future imperfect.

Rumbling our world apart,

Our love it will dissect.

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

2. Illness may besiege us or we will face calamity.

We will feel like falling, collapsing to our knees.

We have just a lifetime to meet our destiny.

But know that love will hold together

When thunder claps its hands.

~

Refrain

3. You may hear the thunder pounding through your veins.

As grief has taken hold of your life expanding wounds and pains.

Tears will salt our lifetime, and test our love's stronghold

But we will face the storms together

When thunder traps our peace.

Refrain

Heaven and earth may change their course but we'll pass through it all.

Love is on our side, nothing can penetrate that wall.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each other’s fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

Refrain (2X)

Thunder in the mountain, love will pass the test

Thunder in the mountain, thunder put to rest.

Aqua’s End

1. Thought you should know

We’re becoming more than friends.

Recently your oceanic eyes

Have been giving me the bends.

Falling into the depths of your heart

Is my Aqua’s End, my term for paradise.

I think I should be honest with the way I feel

And plunge into a headfirst dive.

Refrain:

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

You’re my best favorite friend, I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

You’re my best favorite friend, I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

2. Time’s doin’ it’s thing;

Hour glass is dripping sands of time.

Lately you are like my lunar tide

Pulling me on emotion rides.

Falling into the depths of your heart

Is my Aqua’s End, my term for paradise.

I think I should be honest with the way I feel

And plunge into a headfirst dive.

Refrain

You’re my best favorite friend.

I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

You’re my best favorite friend.

I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

Between Breathbeats

Went through the alphabet, wondering what terms could be made without any vowels and came up with this little piece, so....

A poem for your perusal today: Make of it what you will♫

Raspberry Rain

You may have to move the cursor to the right so it will play all the way through♪

My daughter has begun making up her own piano pieces and I really liked this tune, so I added some instruments and lyrics:  this is the resulting instrumental♫♪
Then I worked on a rainy Saturday and took some photos through my windshield without the wipers going....my postal truck's big windshield makes for a great filter!!!
Participating in ABC Wednesday-Letter R

1. It must have been a blustery day 

That threw you in my path to stay.

You make me feel these pelts of rain

That mark my heart with dripping stain.

The gripping storm defines our ties.

The maelstrom strikes beyond your lies.

But I’m not past our drama-rama.

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

2. Who said parting is such sweet sorrow?

Words I hoped never to borrow

  Sugar coated rotten tastes

Have caused myself to go to waste.

You’ve ruined me, so here’s the deal

I need time, some time to heal.

My heart’s been crushed to jam-a-rama

Raspberry rain

My heart’s down the drain

~

Splashing through deep puddles

Pulls me under

Cold and to the core

I’m drowning In this downpour

Floods of fallen tears

Break all my barriers...

3. I thought you were protecting me

But I’ll adjust, I’ll learn to be

observant of how things are done

And look out more for number one

I can’t depend, I won’t depend

On being sheltered from the rain.

You can’t be my umbrella fella

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

I'll not be your drama momma...
