Pearls Of Wisdom Disdained

interesting when pearls of wisdom
are freely offered the choice is to
purchase systems inferior doctrines

this rational being a free gift is worth
less than exorbitant fees purchase paid
an idea concept object of value rendered

reduced to base value of purchase price
irrational valuations at first price face
value is free pearls of wisdom worthless

Pearls of Wisdom

SONNET:
Despairing tears shed in the dark - alone.
Hot, round and plump, cascading on cold cheek -
an avalanche for our sins to atone.
Recalling solutions we had to seek.
From every tear shed, grows pearls of wisdom.
An enquiring mind joining in the search.
To hardship we had become accustom'.
Grappling for answers just out of our reach.
We fight for the helm of destination,
over steering on our chosen pathway.
Loosing sight of intended direction,
forgetting to relinquish reigns and pray.
Chances to make a difference - expired
Peace in your heart - soul infinitely tired.

FREE STYLE:
From tears shed in the dark
grow pearls of wisdom -
round and plump,
cascading on cold cheeks.

Denying the broken dreams
of long forgotten youth.
Grappling with the guilt
felt over hard decisions made.

An enquiring mind searching
for the elusive truth -
only just out of reach.
Rejecting the answers at hand
and formulating excuses.

Your chance to make a difference
had long ago expired.
You reluctantly accept
the inevitable.
Peace within your heart.

Pearls of Wisdom

Pearls of wisdom as never before, from the mouth of Christ our Lord,
Speaking words with authority, that come from the Throne of Eternity.
A wisdom which exceeded Solomon, whose heart was divided by sin,
Christ, with a heart perfectly pure, spoke words that will surely endure.

Pearls of wisdom, pure and divine, words spoken, for men of all time,
Directed to every tribe and nation; words of our Lord God’s Salvation.
Salvation sent from God above, through His Son, to show us His love,
Love that exceeded wisdom of earth, and received through a new birth.

Pearls of wisdom not well embraced, by many whom Christ had faced,
Although in God these men believed, Christ by them was not received.
Much of His wisdom is contrary to, that human reason of me and you,
But Christ’s Wisdom is greater than, all of that wisdom of worldly men.

Pearls of wisdom to all will come, to those who truly know God’s Son,
And dare to give their life to Him, Christ, who saves men from their sin.
Sin which blinds the minds and ways, of the many world leaders today,
And in their wisdom they cannot see, God’s timeless Truths of Eternity.

Pearls of wisdom God offers to men, when in Christ we’re Born Again,
And the pearls, spoken by Christ, become to us, the foundation of life.
As believers live to honor The Son, bringing Light of Truth to everyone,
Leading men to an Eternal Kingdom, using Truth and pearls of wisdom.

Pearls Of Wisdom

Every author that I know,
will at some time or other,
hand out a small pearl of wisdom,
in his or her work somewhere.
It does not matter in what genre
in which they choose to write
their pen will slip one day
and a small pearl of wisdom
will spill out and come our way.
We are all creatures of choice
and authors are no exception to the rule
in that once you have written one pearl
you can guarantee
more pearls will follow.

And take happiness breaks and gaps
And try to follow the happiness guide

Confession Of An Internet Poet

I confess to loving Internet writing
And casting words around this orb
Reading other poets is so exciting
'Pearls of wisdom' I then absorb

Your Simply The Best: Clay To Porcelain Furnace Glaze

as a hungry baby I will need many oysters
to feed you upon pearls of wisdom choices
neither angel nor saint we animate clay models
little gods in mud we were made for transcendence
kiln fired watertight colouration fixed shiny figurines

Oddfellows Local 151

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood

A Small Chance

Standing on a sandisland
I was looking at the landscape
of the aura of a lobbied avatar.
The chill was spreading on the river unfazed.

The sassafras had a logistics network
to penetrate in the oysters, becoming
grayish white pearls of wisdom.
It will protect you from any insult.

When the temple of learning was
being rebuilt, the words were finding
an echo in sky’s fear of abduction.
The sun was hiding behind the lies.

In a trance I move unmindful
of interbreeding. Some grizzly thoughts
were near the cave of skeletons. The
panther was readying to jump out.

Thoughts

I gaze into the blazing sun, the summer sky.
The shades I wear to help me walk steadily by.
The smiles exchanged and memories do revive.
Pearls of wisdom that heal and I did survive.
Those ties not broken, mighty a strength I did find.
Runs through the memory of my ageing mind.
A sacred bond did blossom with sweet fragrance.
Earnestly with affection I did gracefully embrace.
My deepest darkest hour fed with the magical glow.
With ample happiness to gently overflow.
Purest gem that sparkles, never seen before.
Locked in my heart, treasured for ever more.
Precious thoughts that spread beyond eternity,
As I stroll along the earthly place with solemnity..

Sonnet: Pearls of Wisdom from Jesus

‘I’ve overcome the world, ’ said Jesus Christ,
‘God does not forsake, nor abandons you.’
‘Ye men of little faith, believe at first! ’
In Jesus’ name, miracles, you can do.

Christ left as hope for us, Holy Spirit;
‘Do not worry; just live right for today.’
He dwells in hearts and souls that’s grace-light lit;
Jesus Christ is the truth, and light and way!

‘Man does not live by bread alone, ’ said Christ,
‘But by each word that God utters by mouth.’
By death on cross, Jesus third day was raised
to life, and made our living on earth, worth!

‘What God hath joined, let none put asunder!
To divorce would be sin and big blunder!

Pessimistic Pearls Of Wisdom Initial Version

To stay oneself, learn way, earn just renown
when 'justice' is a quality much missed,
must cause most optimists to tearful drown
their sorrows where will dares not, won't persist.

The key to lasting happiness is blown
upon the shipwreck tides time often sends
when pomp and circumstance together thrown
confuse, knot, justify, tie means to ends.

Unchanging bliss is but lobotomy
or selfish failure to shed sham disguise,
unchallenged as self-knowledge turns the key
to bar all open source, - scars shutter eyes

to ills that fill this universe of ours,
where 'Nature's children' empathy resist,
where sharing wears a mourning coat, where powers
pall 'sleep, perchance to dream' all soon dismissed.

From the Holy Bible

Delve upon the pearls of wisdom, Bible has;
Learn the art of righteousness and live your life;
Read the stories true that give you moral help; !
Train your mind and heart to think in divine ways.

Get the answers to queries in life that vex;
Seek the solution to puzzling situations;
Medidate upon the good news, Bible tells;
Hear the parables of Jesus Christ and live.

Memorize scriptures and recapitulate;
Quote the verses apt to soothen troubled hearts;
Listen to the truths the mouth of God utters;
Never go astray from heaven's road in life!

Gather riches heavenly, no worms destroy;
Pray to God from heart, when temptations arise;
Know the Word of God that stood the test of times;
Aim for heaven's eternity, God beside!

Friends, The Bright Sparkle of Life

Friends and Pearls of Wisdom
Under the unshaded eyes of the sand covered skies.
Glistens a sweet silvery streak through the gloomy sunrise.
Through the changing scenes of life, true friends fail not.
Despite the branches of many a life’s strain, it did not.
Dim the sparkle of life, that was once so blissfully bright.
Friends so precious and rare brightens the darkest night.
Pearls of wisdom overflowed constantly so flawlessly.
Answers to riddles a many with honesty effortlessly.
With the sweet fragrance of hope strength and loyalty.
Gracefully placed on a pedestal are true friends with dignity.
Need for loving care, concern was the name of the game.
To life’s road paved with variables, an emotional game.
This world is just a stage and soon will end its play.
When into heavenly arms the journey will soundly lay.

Fathomless

Beaches covered with sands of time--
Coast lines edges in scalloped design-
Lighthouse beams shine at whats left behind...
While the seas ebb and flow leave nothing to find;

Just ragged soaked memory echos--
In the shells i put to my ears...
Just oysters minus the pearls of wisdom...
My body 'tis drenched from crying my tears;

With no comforting harbor even in view...
With no loving lagoon harboring youl...
With no alibaster sands-all brand new--
Even with our love once deep as the blue;

Yes, the beaches are covered in sands of time--
Much like an hour-glasss but with a chime--
Ringing the bells for the season of the reason to rhyme...
For loosing you 'tis a fathomless crime;

On to distant and greener shores you are?
And i will never understand the reason- or the why...
Sitting here in the sandy granules of an empty beach--
Remembering you-i again begin to cry;

The Essence

The Better Gems

What's better than gold?
A heart of gold and a golden rule
Thus donot over the mined thing drool.

What's better than pearls?
Any pearls of wisdom
grant the oyster some freedom

What's better than diamonds?
Supernovas that dazzle like them
So fret not if you cannot
afford the earthly
underground gem

What's better than rubies red?
Carmine roses and rosy lips
I do and maybe you too
already have them

What's better than emerald?
Feline eyes glowing in the dark!
Ah Lord! that fluorescent spark!

What's better than silver?
The hope that every cloud has a silver lining
Even miners they don't enjoy the mining

What's better than amber?
Amber eyes in God's variety of eyeball shades
Ah! those ebony-eyed maidens and maids.

And whether it be
zircon or amethyst
sapphire or lapis lazuli
agate opal or tanzanite
what tis far better
than all these gems put together
is anyone known as a
'gem of a person'
Now it's up to you to go
beyond your flesh and blood
and be a guiding star!

Sophia The Psychic She Lived Down The Road

Sophia the psychic she lived down the road
She knew the roads she knew the souls
An Antipythia of the broken heart
Wept ‘don’t know thyself ‘tis too deep’
Know thy paths not entangled they are
‘spread like lilies’ not needing the truth

Sophia the psychic centuries echoed
Tormented by knowing too much

Sophia the psychic she met me one day
I looked into her eyes compassion I smiled
Yes, she started, and she could not stop
Against my smile her intermittent sobs

Sophia the psychic centuries echoed
Tormented by knowing too much

‘Tis passion Sophia I asked
Why are you telling me what I already know
Obsession, Sophia, leave the past in peace
Take some rest and do not worry

Sophia the psychic centuries echoed
Tormented by knowing too much

I am centuries old as well but still too young for your tears
And don’t ask for my coins for I have none
All the pearls of wisdom you’ve already gained
There’s no way for you to be repaid

Sophia the psychic centuries echoed
Tormented by knowing too much

Sri Krishna

Long ago when Lord Vishnu took a new form
In order to restore Faith and Goodness on Earth
At midnight, in Mathura it was raining with thunderstorm
Devaki and Vasudev were overjoyed with their son Krishna's birth

Vasudev left infant Krishna in Gokul, at Yashoda and Nand's home
Cute and charming baby Krishna loved to play, run around and eat butter
Every prank of Krishna was talk of the town, Legends to become
Boy Krishna conquered serpent Kalinga, saved friends and Yamuna river

Kansa, Krishna's Uncle tried to kill Krishna, Krishna escaped his every ploy
All the damsels of Vrindavan, surround handsome Krishna, with adoration
Whenever Krishna played flute for his cows, every one would sway with joy
Radha the Lucky one, the Love she had, got her Krishna's adoration

Krishna freed his parents, Guided and Lead Arjuna, a win over his Kingdom
Krishna has a mesmerising and enchanting Persona and Presence
His Preachings 'Bhagavad Gita' enlightens our souls, ' Pearls of Wisdom '
Krishna lives in every heart that has Faith as the Divine essence.

Shake The Tree

Id love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost its crown
All night talk n jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Round the corner comes salvation
Made to order is what you found
Why oh why do we fool ourselves
Is it just the need to carry on
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake dont cut it down
Glamour takes its toll on you
Throw away whats out of view
Pearls of wisdom hang around your neck
They warm to the touch of your perfect skin
High, high, high, high
High, high, high, high
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake dont cut it down
Shake the tree you find
(I see her walking in perfect time)
Shake dont cut it down
(she gives me reason)
To carry on
I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To never say die
I see her walking
In perfect time (shake)
She gives me reason (the tree you find)
To never say die
Shake the tree you find
