"Perfection Imperfection"

“Perfection Imperfection”

cji

1/13/16

Unable to be careless

each word in proper order

commanded to become

perfect even as Father

most stumbling alone

striving in imperfection

for the perfection needed

within we’re perfection

just needed to get it out

becoming as Father’s will

potential unlimited there

perfection imperfection

achieved within Temples

House of the Lord

allowing us to see beyond

where we are now found

no longer stumbling alone!

"Partially Here"

“Partially Here”

cji

1/12/16

Sometimes I’m over there

others I’m partially here

wandering back and forth

in-decisive about where

lingering close to the veil

while peeking into space

clinging to the past/present

racing into the future time

partially here to discern

what everywhere else is

that I need to be found

holding fast to the rod

discerning truth’s location!

"Calling To"

“Calling To”

cji

1/11/16

Gazing upward then moving

calling to the peak once more

so many questions unanswered

knowing many more yet to ask

still the peak in the distance

colder becoming the air

snow covering the paths

more coming it appears

still time to climb today

seeking the peak upwards

so many calling – calling

continuous moving warmth

unwilling to stop and rest

unable to relax amid questions

calling to the peak always!

"Many Are Called"

“Many Are Called”

cji

1/10/16

So many Prophets called

unknown to the multitudes

seeing the wonders of Father

hearing, reading, visions

full and completely known

understood by them each

filling them with the Spirit

wherein they share with awe

many are called so to hear

only a few choose to partake

even the very elect ignore

which are we entering within

knowing – learning – discerning

what Lehi saw – heard – read

1 Nephi 1:4-15 on this day

eternal the path we choose

feeling Prophets called!

"Practice of Taqiyya"

“Practice of Taqiyya*”

cji

1/10/16

Able at a moment’s notice

to declare either side

for or against guilelessly

claiming to be something

which either you are or not

then to deny all and part

which are you on the Sabbath

for or against commandments

called to the worldly clamor

or the inner peace of truth

or in the practice of taqiya

moment to moment

justifying denial forever

till too late to declare

the moment gone past!

Isaiah 48:18 O that thou hadst

hearkened to my commandments!

then had thy peace been as a river,

and thy righteousness as the waves

of the sea:

*Taqiya or Taqiyya (one in the same)

"Massive"

“Massive”

cji

1/9/16

Whirling winds upon the seas

waves towering 60-80 feet

compared to the planets

un-massive seen to be

wherein the greatness

of the heart of a child

caressing a mother hurt

tears flowing trying to help

massive is this small heart

unyielding to the giant seas!

"Winds of Confusion"

“Winds of Confusion”

cji

1/8/16

Nay there are no doldrums

many say ‘there is no wind’

yet always is there movement

even the sliver to be felt

attuned to the Spirit known

feeling the still small voice

as a zephyr on the skin

while most look for storms

winds of confusion desired

justifying their inane actions

lifeless within the doldrums!

"What of Images"

“What of Images”

cji

1/8/16

Molten steel or jewels

all the vanity of men/women

big cars or fancy homes

rings of immense sizes

expressions of wealth/power

false steeples arched windows

gardens of poison ivy/oak

garlands of wild weeds

these the images of men

aggrandizing their importance

ignoring obedience to Father

placing their gods before

history repeating itself

in molten steel and jewels!

"Fear Not"

“Fear Not”

cji

1/8/16

How have we been warned

yet in fear we hid in shadows

fearing men/women alike

forgetting they’ve already lost

for the Savior overcame all

thus be not dismayed child

the Savior is there for each

we’ve only to love (fear)

being obedient in all things

remembering covenants

heeding the Scriptures

hiding not in the shadows

we’ve been warned, ‘fear not’!

"As Tow"

“As Tow”

cji

1/8/16

Discarded into the winds

carried faraway distantly

or yet burned where it lies

un-useful and un-needed

while much of the plant

harvested called flax

the tow is of no usage

same as man/woman

who’ve defiled themselves

proven unworthy in life

thus in death so burned

as tow – sadly lost away!

"A Pining Sickness"

“A Pining Sickness”

cji

1/7/16

Refuse to be cut off

the last strand of thread

tapestry finished complete

leftover flags (threads)

needing to be trimmed

strewn upon the floor

swept and done away

cast into the flames

ashes ascending up

a pining sickness

contagious within awe

refuse to be cut off!

"A Rare Place" (The USA)

“A Rare Place”

cji

1/6/16

All the world hates us

or so one would believe

they take our money

they want our arms

UN wants us neutered

our administration is sorry

apologizing for the past

(much which was forced

upon us and our nation)

a rare place is freedom

found not in the world

but in our nation alone

yes some say they have it

but forgetting they don’t

without the US being here

this rare place of freedom

toleration for the idiots

letting selfish fools run us

while maintaining one thing

our right to own arms

to protect our God/family

and most of all (listen)

those sheep of the world

who care not to defend

but to others to depend

for what freedoms left!

"Myriads of Space"

“Myriads of Space”

cji

1/5/16

Climbing a mountain

hanging high in space

embraced by the clouds

moisture absorbed within

sleeping – awakening

unknowing which lingers

myriads of space feeling

beyond the solar system

within the child’s being

wherein being found

wandering lost alone

found within nano space

drifting high in space

descending the mountain!

"Holpen"

“Holpen”

cji

1/4/16

Fear the Lord your God

for those who rely on men

will soon fail and fall

those who trust other

putting flesh over Father

relying on the worldly

thus those who trust

in the strength of men

(meaning also of women)

where the one they trust

will fall and with them all

he that is holpen will fail

for we’re to trust in God

loving and doing His will

falling not and failing not!

"A Sabbath Day"

“A Sabbath Day”

cji

1/3/16

To keep it Holy

unblemished all

resting and serving

no work* is done

helping the sick

caring for the naked

feeding the hungry

others needs met

some once strict

now lax forgotten

a Sabbath Day

once for Father

now just for self

remember the who

we are Father’s

we’ve too choose

serving either Him

or selfish interests!

(*some professions require work

on the Sabbath Day – Nursing

Medical – Police – Military

– but not many)

"Alerted - take Action"

“Alerted – take Action”

cji

1/2/16

Each moment of hesitation

lives in the balance taken

while men/women ponder

holding up the positive action

demanding their lb of flesh

caring not for nation/freedom

thus when we’re alerted

we’ve to take action quick

caring for God, family, nation

knowing we’ve accountability

sheepdogs of the lambs

against the predators today

lives in the balance saved

action taken without hesitation!
