All The Things You Are ~

Before a young woman’s turn came
to go in to King Xerxes,
she had to complete 12 months
of beauty treatments
prescribed for the women,
six months with oil of myrrh
and six with perfumes and cosmetics.
~ Esther 2

Someday I'll Meet You Again

My beloved spoke
and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one,
and come with me..."
~ Song of Solomon 2

Someday
I'll meet you again
Tell me where
Tell me when

Someday
I'll meet you again
And I'm yours
Until then

Each night
I'll wish on a star
That you stay
As you are

You have my heart
But my heart
Wonders when
We'll meet again

Honey, someday
I'll meet you again
Please tell me where
Darlin', tell me when
I know some day
I'm bound to meet you again
And I swear by all of me
I'll be yours until then

Each night
I'll wish on a star
That you stay
As you are

You have my heart
But my heart
Wonders when
We'll meet again

Don't Play Games

Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
~ Psalm 12

It's For You

Sacrifice and offering
you did not desire
but my ears
you have opened...
Burnt offerings
and sin offerings
you did not require...

Then I said,

“Here I am,
I have come!
it is written about me
in the scroll. "
~ Psalm 40

The Wine Song

For Grammy Cracker y Writermom

The master of the banquet
tasted the water
that had been turned into wine.
He did not realize
where it had come from,
though the servants
who had drawn the water
knew.
~ John 2

Drink Tea For The Love of GOD!

Anyone who does not love me
will not obey my tea ching.
These words you hear
are not my own;
they belong to the Father
who sent me.
~ John 14

Yes, his tea ching...as opposed to his I ching.

The Legend Of Xanadu

To the one
who is victorious,
I will give the right
to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the paradise of God.
~ Revelation 2

Xanadu (Mongolian: šanadu), or Shangdu (Chinese: 上都; pinyin: Shàngdū) was the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty in China, before he decided to move the seat of his dynasty to the Jin Dynasty capital of Zhōngdū (Chinese: 中都), which he renamed Dàdū, the present-day Beijing. Xanadu was described by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo, and in 1797 inspired a famous poem, Kubla Khan, by one of the leading English poets of the Romanticism movement, Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Xanadu was located in what is now called Inner Mongolia, 275 kilometres (171 mi) north of Beijing, about 28 kilometres (17 mi) northwest of the modern town of Duolun. The layout of the capital is roughly square shaped with sides of about 2,200m; it consists of an "Outer City", and an "Inner City" in the southeast of the capital which has also roughly a square layout with sides about 1,400m, and the palace, where Kublai Khan stayed in summer. The palace has sides of roughly 550m, covering an area of around 40% the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The most visible modern-day remnants are the earthen walls though there is also a ground-level, circular brick platform in the centre of the inner enclosure.

Green Circles

The waters of Nimrim
are dried up
and the grass is withered;
the vegetation is gone
and nothing green is left.
~ Isaiah 15

No Milk Today

Go up to the land
flowing with milk and honey.
But I will not go with you,
because you are a stiff-necked people
and I might destroy you on the way...
~ Exodus 33
