“One of Seven Poems of “The Master’s Series of Poetry.”

On this day
the Master revealed
His greatest gift to mankind.
 
This gift was rendered on a mountain of stone
reflected on a setting sun
to a multitude of many
in one of the many lessons
given to multitudes in those years. 
 
The question
that came toward the end of that day
was, “ Master, what is the greatest gift
that God gives to all of us?”  asked the young
man in the multitude of that day.
 
The Master replied,
“The greatest gift that my Father gives to all
is the secret of Forgiveness.
 
In rendering forgiveness to ones self
and also forgiveness of others
does a sinner reveal
the keys to heaven
and the eternal Love of our Father.
 
Forgiveness assures the eternal love of the Father
and being in the arms of His Love forever.”
So said the Master of my life
on this day.

Of Special Note:  This poem was originally posted on May 19th, 2010.  Reading it again today respired me to continually attempt to inspire and assist others in my WordPress family who are fighting this dreaded disease.  I thought I would repost it again for today in my sharing with you, my readers.  As you can see, as with many of us,  fighting Depression can be a daily task in our lives. 
 
 
I too fight darkness and discouragement.
Yesterday I prepared to permanently close this web blog.
A withdrawal from a calling of many years.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 
I felt my work was not doing any good out there.
I felt the friends of my life
those that truly rendered me their love
where long gone from this earth.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 
I found myself wanting to withdrawn to myself.
In reviewing my life
I found other places in my past
that seemed to be happier places
then where I was now.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 
There are many that have hurt me
through the years.
Step-children, who never said a simple
thank you for given them
many years of my life
without so much as a hug.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Friends that I looked up to
who have disappointed me greatly.
Individuals that the process
of forgiveness of their stupidity
would not come easily to me. 
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
It was 1:30 a.m. this morning
that I awoke with a start
It was my Lord calling to me.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A calling to me to continue to share
His gifts to all that would read my work.
So here we are again
you the reader
and my poems.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Poems telling of my own journey.
A journey that brought me
to the most important place in my life.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A place with my Lord
in revealing to me
His personal Love for me.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Blessings to you all in your journey’s of this day.
It will be a most beautiful day in the glory of God’s
Vision for each one of us.

Often I think of you
in the time of our youth
when it was just us.
 
Sunshine glowed when we were together.
The grief of our former lives made us a pair.
Then our lives were simpler
filled with few things
but rich in much love.
 
Somethimes I wonder if you think of me on occasion.
Did you put aside
as I have
the separation of our love
the anger
the hurt
that we both suffered?
  
Beauty is in those memories.
The thoughts of us at that time are sweeter
and more beautiful when they cross my mind.
 
In daydreams of simpler times
my thoughts question where you are now
and did you find happiness?
Did you have the children
that we never had?
 
Althought many years have passed
I send to you my love from a former time
with blessing for your happiness.
 
 I also send my wish and hope
that in the eternity to come
we will meet as loving friends.
Until then
often will I think of you.

“The Lord Defeats my Enemies Thru Michael who brings Death and Destruction to their doors…..Bless the Lord’s name, be in awe in the power of his angel.”

 
 
My Brothers and Sisters
one belief to remember
is in the end
Evil defeats itself.
 
Once Evil was part of the heavenly Good.
In falling from the Sight of God
did Evil still have great power.
Never will this power
overcome Good.
 
Should Evil come upon you
believe in the Lord.
Have Faith in the Lord.
 
Love the Lord with all your being.
Patience
with prayer
will destroy Evil.
 
I know this to be true.
Praise and Glory to my Lord
and God.

Walk tenderly on my dreams
for my dreams are me
with my soul exposed.
 
Judge not
the worth of my hopes
nor the possibility of their reality. 
 
If you are without encouraging words
then seal your lips in speaking of my dreams.
 
Are we not without hope
when stripped of our dreams and aspirations?
 
Look to yourself and ask
when were your own dreams scattered against
the rocks of time?
 
Take not your anger
with yourself
against those
who still have hope.

A singular line horizontally drawn.
Above a blue sky.
Below
a deep ocean of blue.
 
Is it the end of the world
or the beginning of another?
 
Standing still
there is no answer.
 
Only by moving forward
do we realize there is more
beyond a singular line.
 
Attitude?
Perspective?
Are they not one
and the same?

The Master’s hands were strong and hard
from years of work as a carpenter
just like his father.
 
The creation of His hands had a gentle quality
such as the toy camel and shepherd
He was crafting this night.
 
His sister had begged Him to make a toy for her child.
With love and humor He worked several nights.
In the back of the villa the room was small and cramped
making the carving difficult as the oil lamp light flickered.
 
Entering the doorway with a quiet sweep of the door blanket
came His sister’s oldest son.
Many questions burned in the mind
of this young man on this night.
 
Quietly he approached the Master
so as to not disturb His carving.
The young man whispered,
“Master do you have time to speak with me?”
 
Gently and with love the Master set the little wooden carving
aside and reached for the boy’s shoulder saying,
“What is troubling you this night
son of my sister?”
 
The boy replied,
“I am afraid about death
and where I will go when I die
since no one alive
has ever been to the place that dead people go
and returned
how am I to know what to expect?”
 
With patience and the deepest of kindness
toward the concerns of the young man
the Master spoke,
“Telling humanity of the world beyond death
would be like explaining
the sight of sunrise or sunset to a person
who had always been blind.”
 
He further explained,
“Beyond our lifetime is a world inconceivable
to the senses of man
beyond every gift rendered in this world around us. 
It is a world of being
in the midst of eternal love
and never fearing again.
 
It is knowing light beyond any light
we now know of in this world.
It is never being alone again
but cherished in the arms of a mother.
 
So will it be in the arms of our God
forever in eternal love
peace and happiness.”
So He spoke to me
the Master of my life.

A ship in the sea of life.
riding each wave of life
seeking the warm sun of each day
the beauty of each dream as night falls
is never lost
as it heads toward the curve
of each horizon.
 
Storms will blow
onward do we flow
in love and courage
by His Hand.
 
Tomorrow brings the knowing
in His love
the vastness of the ocean
is not so alone.
 
As long as we believe
we will never be alone
for His love
surpasses all of this
this and time beyond
this brief sea of life.

Many have the belief
that there is perfection in this world.
It does not exist
on this earth and plane for us.
 
We are only privileged to see
feel and hear parts of perfection
but never the whole of perfection.
 
The pieces that represent
the beauty of God and heaven
are shown in glimpses each day
in our lives on this earth.
 
It is our soul that catches these flashes of eternity
and renders us the perfection of God.
 
It is through prayer
and centering ourselves
in the love of God
that we are privileged to gain knowledge
of the eternity that is before us.

I am only for you.
A kiss given here
or a caress there.
 
Together our lives are a bouquet
marked by each petal of love
gently falling away
to our time together.
