      IN MY PLACE

      Pray thee let none shall bar it's not the questions, where or when God grant I shan't be far In place of person, spirit then 8>)

      RISKING FOR A SIGN

      The nectar is sweet if the heart so dares never for the meek where riskiness stares Just risking for a sign

      It won't stay when you stay

      Goes when you're own your toes

      The rewards are from the chase

      Reach for it but never in haste

      Nothing does like it does

      By Faith we hope and pray

      Events roll out and lay

      Grasp for handles in a maze

      Readiness with a brace

      I'll take it in if I may

      The nectar is sweet if the heart so dares those willing to seek where riskiness bares Just risking for a sign 8>)

      RISE AND SHINE

      Gilded sun rays clear the haze

      Lighted lights go out apace

      Another rise over the mount

      Live creatures roused from their fount

      Beings they gather and disperse

      Shrieking shouts and small whispers

      Wings above while eyes trained below

      all stir for what might follow

      Those ordained all fall in line some lie still in thoughts opined chosen ones to fruition live while others Fates weigh and sieve 8>)

      FOR MY FRIENDS

      1

      Courtesy in deeds driven

      Ev'ry gesture plays a part

      Fair regard gladly
