| ~invictus~ Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. Invictus is a short poem by the British poet William Ernest Henley. The title is Latin for "Unconquered". It was first published in 1875. |
"We live in a world so fast and tense,
I try to tell all, but no time now by the by,
Come quickly or I will cry,
I need you today my sweet wild heart to try"~
Somewhere the wild fern grows, alongside the mosey stone,
I watch and wait for I know the little sounds that abound,
The kiss of the wind, and the sound of the creek draw me near,
To be alive, and free from all worries for just a moment in time, is a glorious day"~
"I wait on the hillside, so far from all,
The splendor of twilight awaits us all,
I long to see the curtain that befalls,
and God's glory today, above us all"~
"Glory be my friend, take my hand,
We go up the hill together, and wait for a sign,
Glory be my friend, it will not be long, abide,
You and I will see God's Glory, that is moments away in time"~
"Oh the glory of the sky, as the clouds whisk by,
crossing my path to go on around the blue sky,
I see the love of God's children near by,
A day so bright and up so high, just waiting for you and I"~
"Today I saw the frozen snow fall,
Today was the best of all,
Today I share my thoughts to all,
Today the sun shines to melt it all"~
"Come my friend along a worn path with me,
I promise it will not take long at all,
I have to show you a special treat and share,
My friend come quickly, to see it all THERE"~
"There is a place where the wind blows soft,
There is a place where the soft kiss of the day surrounds us all,
There is a place I need to share,
There is a friend I will take with me again and again"~
"I saw an Angel today, oh my,
Waiting there to greet me as I went by,
I saw an Angel so quiet and shy,
Hello my friend, so glad you stopped by"~
"Do you feel the music in the soft wind that goes by,
If not, so let it go by, it will try again by the by,
Be patience, time needs to reply,
Here it comes again for you and I"~
"Today I pray, so be it, by the by,
Today a prayer comes to me, by the by,
Today a song comes to mind, by the by,
Today we sing, our love shall not delay, by the by"~
Today a tear falls from my eye,
Today a beautiful Angel has passed by,
Stop my friend, to just say hi,
Today I weep for a lost friend by the by~
I try to tell all, but no time now by the by,
Come quickly or I will cry,
I need you today my sweet wild heart to try"~

Today, by the by~
| No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. ~1624 prose work by the English writer~ ~John Donne ~ |

| The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me; You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love wil follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. TIME WITHOUT END, AMEN~ |
