The Decision To Serve

     The Decision To Serve

He had heard some sort of call.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

To hear what transpired.

Too bad he wasn’t wired.

 

He showed up right on time.

Strip searched. He paid no mind.

Shown in to an inner room.

To meet someone there in the gloom.

 

What had he gotten into?

He felt the call. He was no fool.

It was a woman who met him there.

Non descript, except for her hair.

 

“You understand why you’re here?”

“I think so, but make it clear.”

“You’re here because you’re the chosen one.”

“You will lead us to Kingdom Come.”

 

“How can such a thing be done?”

“After all, I am insignificant to some.”

“You will be given all you need.”

“What’s in your heart is all you need.”

 

“Whatever your will. I am all yours.”

“I totally surrender all my fears.”

“You will be blessed my son.”

“You will be guided from the only One.”

 

If this was what it was like to surrender.

Would more people become a member?

Would more be soldiers for God?

Would more carry an iron rod?

 

For each of us it is a private matter.

Between you and your God, a ladder.

Many are chosen, few respond.

Be one of them that will go on.

 

God can use all who are willing.

Yes, it can, and will be thrilling.

How you’re used will fit your nature.

God, the creator, Knows your fate here.

 

Trust in Him with all your heart.

He is with you from the start.

You’ll never face more than you can bare.

He is with you everywhere.

Billy Joe Scores Big

         Billy Joe Scores Big

Billy Joe was the man of the day.

Conquest was the game to play.

He dominated the dating field.

All his conquests could make you reel.

 

Billy Joe had his fancy car.

He had the looks to take him far.

He had the money to impress .

He was the best, more or less.

 

Till the day he pushed too far.

He ended up with a nasty scar.

She kicked him right under the chin.

Stomped his crotch when he fell then.

 

He was rolling and puking in pain.

This might become his claim to fame.

It hit him like a thunderbolt from above.

He had been wrong about his way of love.

 

Billy Joe changed his ways.

Became a gentleman in every way.

Treated every girl with the most respect.

Her feelings, he would never neglect.

 

His reputation was tarnished for awhile.

“It will pass”, he said with a smile.

Sure enough, it truly did.

His true emotions were never hid.

 

Eventually, all girls trusted him.

He was considered a man among men.

He won the hand of the prettiest of all.

The queen of the harvest ball.

 

In the end, she became his wife.

They were living the perfect life.

At one time she despised him.

An attitude adjustment brought a win.

Wedding Day For The Dragon Riders

 

    Wedding Day For The Dragon Riders

Finally, the time had come.

Gale and Wendy would soon become as one.

He had proposed and she accepted.

Even their dragons were receptive.

They decided to marry the dragon way.

The dragons said it could be done today.

But, they had to travel to dragon land.

The place where dragons had command.

Above the clouds and beyond the rainbow.

A magical place where dragons go.

It may be on earth, then again, it may not be.

When they travel there, they will see.

They mounted their dragons and away they went.

No one but them knew of the event.

High and far the dragons flew.

Through the clouds and morning dew.

Then, they entered what looked like a funnel.

Swirling lights and colors all around the tunnel.

They were mesmerized by the sight.

They had never seen so many lights.

Colors beyond description,

sinking into their souls, like an inscription.

They felt love. They felt warmth.

They felt infinity was nothing to scorn.

They burst forth upon a beautiful land.

Flowing in colors, rivers, and sand.

Floating isles of wooded land.

Lovely jungles with perfumes grand.

Butterflies up to a foot across.

Beautiful birds, grass with a velvet gloss.

Magical creatures, even satyrs and  unicorns.

Fairies, pixies, elves, lovely creatures with horns.

All creatures of folklore lived here too.

But, here, the dragons rule.

They flew to a castle of 12 precious stones.

All polished and shining, standing alone.

Inside was the Imperial Dragon of High.

The ruler of all that could be seen by dragon eye.

He would perform the marriage ceremony.

He had approved the matrimony.

‘This is rarely done here for humans.”

“But, you both have earned this conclusion.”

‘We were there the night you saved the dragons life.”

“Mentally, we followed all the strife.”

“We were all hoping this day would come.’

“So, we say welcome everyone.”

In a traditional ceremony they were wed.

Traditional to dragons. Different for them instead.

They walked out with dragons on each side.

Blowing fire overhead to match their stride.

They spent a week in the dragons land.

They saw more than they could understand.

But, they felt that they belonged.

Their dragons sang a special song.

The Imperial Dragon said it was time to leave.

“Trouble was brewing again.” “ There is no reprieve.”

“As Dragon Riders, you must do what you can.”

“It is our way to try to help man.”

“The day is coming when dragons will be rejected.”

“Until then, you must do as expected”

The Dragon Riders returned home.

Remembering their wedding at the foot of the throne.

They were as one now, along with their dragons.

They would do their duty. They would not be lagging.

The Dragon Rider’s Dragon Gets Revenge

       The Dragon Rider’s Dragon Gets Revenge

After a month, the Dragon Riders had grown close.

Their dragons too, thought each other was the most.

They all laid plans to find the ones who attacked.

Driving a lance into Wendy’s dragon to kill. A fact.

Gale would make the rounds of the pubs.

He wasn’t known around Wendy’s homeland pubs.

He would try to get a line on the attackers.

They had to be bragging. It’s a fact, he feared.

He found out right away there were 3 of them.

The last members of gang that didn’t win.

The ones who starved a town to death without fail.

Then, were made crispy critters by Wendy & Gale.

The 3 waited for Wendy and her dragon.

The attack came quick to surprise them.

They were bragging about it all over town.

Gale knew it was time to put them down.

Gale and Wendy got the jump on them one night.

They tied them up real tight.

Laid them over a horse and left town.

Took them to where no one was around.

Got a confession whose idea it was.

The same one who threw the lance, because

he wanted to be the slayer of a dragon.

He then went all over town bragging.

The dragons were waiting for them.

“Dragon justice is needed here.” Said Gale.

Wendy said “I agree with that,  without fail.”

Wendy’s dragon grabbed the leader.

Gale’s dragon made crispy critters of 2 bleeders.

Wendy’s dragon took off, holding the guys shirt

in his teeth. He was screaming for all his worth.

They got so high, they looked like two dots.

Then, the dragon flung him into a pile of rocks.

So, the dragon got his revenge.

So did Wendy and their friends.

The Dragon Riders made a vow.

They would always help the other somehow.

It seemed their dragons had bonded with each other.

Gale thought things looked good for one another.

Wendy and Gale will become as one too.

But, that story is not yet true.

When it is, we will check in again.

In the meantime, here’s to them.

The Dragon Rider Saves The Day

 

         The Dragon Rider Saves The Day

The Dragon Rider was kicking back, about to snore.

He was thinking of his first date the day before.

He was awakened by a panicked mental alert.

His dragon was flying in for all she was worth.

‘Quick, get my big kit of medical supplies.’

‘We have got to hurry’ tears in her eyes.

 ‘Wendy’s dragon has been hurt. I heard his cries.’

“What? “Is Wendy o.k.? What happened?”

‘It was all due to a plan to trap them.’

He grabbed the medical supplies and climbed on.

His dragon took off. In no time they were gone.

His dragon was flying like a bat out of hell.

She just kept thinking: ‘I hope he will be well.’

In time, they headed for a narrow canyon.

He thought: ‘Is this where they landed then?’

‘Yes, he was hurt badly, but flew  safely away.’

‘Is Wendy o.k.? Does she know were on the way?’

‘Yes, and yes.’ ‘ I have relayed to him we are near.’

‘If we don’t hurry, death will be near.’

They zoomed down and landed safely.

Wendy came running, tearful and pasty.

They all rushed to her dragon’s side.

There was a large gash in his hide.

Gale explained that his dragon is a healer.

“Like a doctor to us”, as his dragon kneeled near.

He could hear his dragon’s thoughts.

Wendy could hear her dragon’s thoughts.

But they couldn’t hear  each others.

Gale said: “I will help her, though, I have my druthers.”

“She will work through me through mind control.”

“We have done it before, so this I know.”

He worked like in a trance, over the wound.

Reaching in, sprinkling herbs, etc. Soon,

he started suturing with a thin thread.

There was lots of blood from where he bled.

Gradually, the wound started to close.

A heavier suture got this done, unopposed.

Finally, Gale came out of his trance.

He was exhausted. He held a piece of lance.

“This is what has caused this wound.’

“Yes.” Wendy said. “It was thrown by a goon.”

“They were near where I live.”

“They ambushed us.”  She was livid.

“We will take care of them later.”

“First, we have to tend to your dragon’s fate here.”

For two days they guarded and nursed her dragon.

Then, they slowly flew to Gale’s cave, or tried then.

They had to stop often to rest.

Finally, they made it at sunset.

“We will be safe here.”

“You will have to stay till he is healthy, I fear.”

“I will be more than happy to stay.”

“I will help all I can, o.k.?”

It took a month for the wound to totally heal.

About then he took flight . ‘How does it feel?’

He told Wendy he felt great.

Did an ariel summersault and a little shake.

“Well, I guess it’s time for us to go.”

“Stay. We have a certain place to go.”

“Where is that?” Wendy asked.

“To destroy the ones who made this gash.”

He pointed to the scar on her dragon.

“Your dragon is no longer lagging.”

They made plans over the next few days.

But, that’s another story to display.

Dragon Rider’s First Date

       Dragon Rider’s First Date

The date had finally arrived.

The day for which he had strived.

He was to meet up with Wendy.

His riding tricks had gotten trendy.

She zoomed down and landed by his side.

Her hair was messed up from the ride.

“Hello Gale.” She said with a smile.

“Hi Wendy” He said in awhile.

He was struck silent for awhile by her beauty.

He did remember she was a real cutie.

“What have you got planned for the day?”

“Follow me. I’ll show you the way.”

They went to a high mountain.

Near the top,—– you found them.

There was a cave up there behind a ledge.

Room for the dragons on the ledge.

The cave was his home away from home.

“This place is safe. Only reached by flight.”

“Here I often spend the night.”

He had a terrific spread laid out.

“Have some lunch.” He said with doubt.

“I would love to.” As she started digging in..

“This is quite delicious.” She said with a grin.

“Thanks, I do cook some.”

“You would be a good catch for someone.”

“Thanks” He said shyly, with a blush.

“Sorry, I didn’t want to rush.”

They moved on to other things.

Small talk. Getting acquainted. The dragons sing.

Later, he said: “Let’s go for a flight.”

“On that idea, I won’t try to fight.”

Soon, they took to the air.

Each showing off, with tricks to spare.

After awhile, they heard noise below.

A coach was being robbed. “Let’s go”

They swept down and burned the robbers pants.

They all began to cuss and rant.

Soon, they were subdued and ready for jail.

The wealthy aristocrat began to wail.

“Thank you. Thank you. I owe you both much.”

“That is o.k. We will keep in touch.”

“We may need your help sometime.”

“We will surely keep you in mind.”

They took to the air and returned to the cave.

She had agreed with the deal they had made.

Finally, she said “It’s been a great day.”

“Very soon, I will be back this way.”

“I can hardly wait” Gale said.

He was dreaming of her when he went to bed.

Love: The Great Unknown

       Love: The Great Unknown

Reach a certain age and you will know

that love is the strongest emotion to flow.

Hormones kick in and love is there.

It is all around you everywhere.

 

If there is no confusion in gender,

you will be shocked at what it can render.

I am only speaking heterosexually.

The feelings you feel can set you free.

 

Eventually, you find the love of your life.

On the way, there may be pain and strife.

Mainly because love is so overwhelming,

It covers all areas, without even telling.

 

With luck, your love will be your helpmate.

Your soul mate, that shares your fate.

Your hearts are entwined as one.

Sharing all that’s seen and done.

 

Such a thing can be heaven on earth.

You’ll never know just what it’s worth.

If this happens to not be your fate,

start working harder, before it’s too late.

Twenty Two Halves Are Better Than One (Part 3)

Twenty Two Halves Are Greater Than One (Part 3)

The training lasted seven years.

Often, there were many tears.

First I had to learn myself inside and out.

Learn to travel within is what it’s about.

A psychic trip to the inner me.

There was much to learn and see.

Then, began the lessons to connect the halves.

I unlearned much, as so much trash.

Then came the binding as one.

The connection with the other ones.

11 is great, but 12 is perfection.

I could trust no one except them.

Their power was greatly enhanced.

From the edition of me, by chance.

I was overwhelmed at first.

It all came on in a big burst.

It took much time to learn to handle it.

With such power, you can lose your grip.

There was very little we couldn’t do.

Apostles to He, who will bring us through.

We must always remember our place.

We are like ants to His grace.

Once I had ‘arrived’, the hard part started.

We had to know before we departed,

what exactly would be our intentions?

Which we will complete without suspension.

We will always be true to Him.

We will walk without any sin.

We will show the world His love.

A love that can only come from above.

Through miracles and loving grace,

we will do our best to save the human race.

Knowing we will be rejected by most.

We will make way for the Holy Ghost.

Do not think that a preacher is our role.

Satan will make it a greater goal.

In a world basically ruled by sin,

our job is very difficult to win.

The end times have arrived.

There will be little left alive.

If not cut short by His grace,

there would be none left alive in the place.

We will prepare the people who accept.

It will be our biggest challenge yet.

They must pass through the time of trouble.

Before this existence pops like a bubble.

His second coming in all His glory,

will actually be the beginning of this story.

22 halves is greater than one

was over before it had begun.

For once we became 12, we were sealed.

Nothing sinful would ever be revealed.

We will grow to 144,000 in time.

When it’s all over we will find

that we are God’s disciples for eternity.

Wherever He goes in the universe

We will go with Him. Even to earth.

Twenty Two Halves Are Better Than One (Part 2)

Twenty Two Halves Are Better Than One (Part 2)

The film went on to explain more.

The 11 wizards, the robes they wore.

They found the brain is two halves.

Created so for our behalf.

When both halves can become one.

Almost anything can be done.

God like powers are given to man.

The 11 were the only ones who can.

Along with this was given a vision.

Near the end of time, now hidden,

will come the 12th,—– perfection.

With the 11, will come a resurrection.

The 11 were given immortality.

They will bring about the quality.

They will bring forth the 12th.

The time and place will be felt.

The 11 must seek him out.

Tell him what it is all about.

Thus came about the expression.

It will draw him to answer the question.

The twenty two halves are better than one.

Better, only if used in conjunction.

The 12 together is a perfect unction.

The world is at a place to destroy itself.

To prevent this, a change must be felt.

We are the disciples to prepare a way.

For the one who is the truth and the way.

We have remained hidden till this time.

You have much to do to prepare your mind.

I was shocked beyond belief.

Yet, I felt it is what I should seek.

“How do you know I am the one?”

“Only you could see the message.”

“Only you would be drawn by its leverage.”

“You felt you needed to know the truth.”

“We will give it to you plus eternal youth.”

So started my training to become the 12th.

I could feel all that I knew start to melt.

I cannot reveal more here.

Once I have arrived, it will become clear.

Twenty Two Halves Are Better Than One

 

Twenty Two Halves Are Better Than One (Part 1)

TWENTY TWO HALVES ARE BETTER THAN ONE

What does this mean? This could be fun.

Written on the walls in tenement halls.

On subway walls I see and hear its call.

This statement had no meaning to me.

I will try to search it out and see.

My search led me to a place just out of town.

“What the hell is this place?”, I said with a frown.

Of course I had to go and find out.

Maybe it was a restaurant? I had doubts.

When I got there, no one was around.

I knocked on the door with a frown.

A mysterious woman answered the knock.

“Can I help you?” wiping hands on her frock.

“Twenty two halves are better than one.”

“I was led here. What is it?  Now that I’m done.”

“Ahhh, a seeker of truth. Step right in.”

I began to wonder what was within.

I stepped into what seemed to be a waiting room.

She said “Wait here. I’ll be back soon.”

I found a chair and sat down.

After awhile I heard a sound.

An oriental man stepped into the room.

He was dressed like a monk or priestly groom.

“I have been informed you have questions?”

“Yes, I am curious about your expressions.”

“The twenty two halves are better than one.”

“I will tell you. I am glad you have come.”

He led me to another room.

It had very little light. Mostly gloom.

“Have a seat and I will tell you all.”

I sat down in a cushioned chair against a wall.

“First we will watch this informational film.”

The room went black and a wall lit up like a kiln.

A movie started with the phrase as the title.

The oriental man came on screen. He looked vital.

“This is hidden knowledge that few may know.”

“Known for centuries by these in this show.”

“The origins and history will be explained.”

“Shocking as it may seem, don’t be pained.”

“You wouldn’t be drawn here if not chosen.”

“Time for your insights to become unfrozen.”

“Let us start at the beginning.”

The screen showed a calendar spinning.

It went back through the centuries.

To early China according to entries.

Before the first dynasty, it seems.

A few ancient wizards had dreams.

They were trying to study the mind.

They made a discovery about mankind.

The twenty two halves equal 11 brains.

Much better than one brain. Much is gained.

What was explained next

I certainly did not expect.

I will explain a little later.

My brain feels like a vibrator.
