Jupiter Hammon Salvation comes by Christ alone, The only Son of God; Redemption now to every one, That love his holy Word. Dear Jesus, we would fly to Thee, And leave off every Sin, Thy tender Mercy well agree; Salvation from our King. Salvation comes now from the Lord, Our victorious King. His holy Name be well ador'd, Salvation surely bring. Dear Jesus, give thy Spirit now, Thy Grace to every Nation, That han't the Lord to whom we bow, The Author of Salvation. Dear Jesus, unto Thee we cry, Give us the Preparation; Turn not away thy tender Eye; We seek thy true Salvation. Salvation comes from God we know, The true and only One; It's well agreed and certain true, He gave his only Son. Lord, hear our penetential Cry: Salvation from above; It is the Lord that doth supply, With his Redeeming Love. Dear Jesus, by thy precious Blood, The World Redemption have: Salvation now comes from the Lord, He being thy captive slave. Dear Jesus, let the Nations cry, And all the People say, Salvation comes from Christ on high, Haste on Tribunal Day. We cry as Sinners to the Lord, Salvation to obtain; It is firmly fixed, his holy Word, Ye shall not cry in vain. Dear Jesus, unto Thee we cry, And make our Lamentation: O let our Prayers ascend on high; We felt thy Salvation. Lord, turn our dark benighted Souls; Give us a true Motion, And let the Hearts of all the World, Make Christ their Salvation. Ten Thousand Angels cry to Thee, Yea, louder than the Ocean. Thou art the Lord, we plainly see; Thou art the true Salvation. Now is the Day, excepted Time; The Day of the Salvation; Increase your Faith, do not repine: Awake ye, every Nation. Lord, unto whom now shall we go, Or seek a safe abode? Thou has the Word Salvation Too, The only Son of God. Ho! every one that hunger hath, Or pineth after me, Salvation be thy leading Staff, To set the Sinner free. Dear Jesus, unto Thee we fly; Depart, depart from Sin, Salvation doth at length supply, The Glory of our King. Come, ye Blessed of the Lord, Salvation greatly given; O turn your Hearts, accept the Word, Your Souls are fit for Heaven. Dear Jesus, we now turn to Thee, Salvation to obtain; Our Hearts and Souls do meet again, To magnify thy Name. Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove, The Object of our Care; Salvation doth increase our Love; Our Hearts hath felt they fear. Now Glory be to God on High, Salvation high and low; And thus the Soul on Christ rely, To Heaven surely go. Come, Blessed Jesus, Heavenly Dove, Accept Repentance here; Salvation give, with tender Love; Let us with Angels share. |

Paris Standing there in the middle of a large square under a building. Younger than I'll ever be. In one hand a city map, in the other a camera. The view is so amazing, the world seems mine for just one second. The city is crowded with people and I capture the pictures. Seeing this city, with all her secrets, makes me want to lose myself while listening to all the stories that she tells. Julie Detavernier (2010) rOZZ Music Pictures |

Kindred Spirit When words are unnecessary. When a look is all it takes. When a half word feels like a whole sentence. Then you know you're in good company. When a joke, not even finished, gets a laugh right away. When two minds think alike. Then you know you're in great company. When you feel at ease, like you feel when no one is around. When you can be yourself with all your craziness. Then you know this company is different from others. When a soul gets touched by an invisible hand. When your heart beats so strong, like it beats for two. Then you know the company you're in is a kindred spirit. A soulmate, someone who needs no explaining but just is, like you.

Poem for a dreamer His eyes flew into mine. Their depth reminded me of heaven. Infinities of oceans, mingled with skies wandered through my mind. O, Darling, where art thou? Mixed in those infinities, those everlasting nothings or just a sigh away? Around the next corner, waiting for me at the other end, like we never parted. We never parted, my dreamer and I. O, Darling, where art thou? Thou art there, mingled in this very moment, caressing my every thought, while I read what you wrote. Parting is an impossibility, just a curtain for your eyes. I am, even when you don't see me, right in front of you. Julie Detavernier (2012) rOZZ Music Pictures |

Friendship Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. If you are my friend, please answer this: Are we friends? Or maybe not. You told me once but I forgot. So tell me now and tell me true so I can say I'm here for you. Of all the friends I've ever met, you're the one I won't forget. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.

Dan -- Here's one which derives its inspiration from the words, "buckets of blood", in your poem, "Stonewall Skyfall". A hat-tip, your way, as my own "Buckets of Blood" depicts one of the hardships our illustrious ancestors must have faced. * Buckets of Blood Buckets of blood on a dry, thirsty sea -- marking a flood, from which ancients did flee. Terrified cries to their gods, in despair -- humble, and wise, beat their breasts, tore their hair. Sacrifice made to appease the unknown -- thrusting the blade into loved-one, alone. All was for naught, as the waters crashed down -- soaring birds fought for the objects, they found. Silence now reigned in a nature, pierced through -- buckets have lain, as the centuries grew. Dry ocher blood, in a landscape, now sand -- silicate flood, in a serpentine land. * * * j. r. martin 3 October 2012 |

Look around Everybody tries to keep their head up high, hoping for a bright and shiny sky. Praying to God or Allah or a celebrity religion, that's called Kaballah. Maybe there will be a plane to heaven. From the airport, gate number seven. All passengers will be released from today's 'glamour'. But please, let us pray for God to have a hammer. To knock down everybody with their head up high. Arrogant, selfish, blind. It's just a dirty sky. Open their eyes, so they can really see, life is not about satisfying 'me'.

Heroes We don't have to be afraid of anything. 'Cause we know we can handle things. We will try everything and we will fight for it, 'cause we're the heroes, that's for sure. We will be saved from the dark and taken to the light. Everyone is a hero, if they want to believe. You can do anything you want and be the hero tonight.

Fly butterfly Hush now, beautiful butterfly. Dry your bitter tears, don't cry. The wind will lead you to a place, full of beauty, bliss and grace. Hush now, don't you fear, your pain and sorrow will disappear. Just open your heart and spread your wings. Feel the warmth that love you brings. Sometimes it takes a little while to turn a frown into a smile. But with patience, my dear friend, you'll see yourself rising up, in the end. Fly now, beautiful butterfly, show your colors, don't be shy. Enjoy your life, with all you do. And always remember, I love you. Julie Detavernier (2012) rOZZ Music Pictures |

There is a second part to, "Buckets of Blood". . . ;o) * Buckets of Blood -- Take Two my tour of the north african desert thoroughly barren with no redeeming value the tourist bus belching gray intestinal exhaust its programmed pause to allow impressive photographs for the impressionable friends at home i discerned the familiar shape of a stone bowl the ocher residue lining its bottom suggested to me a history either ordinary or remarkable "it was probably dropped by wandering tribesmen" was our guide's reply "don't remove it the university will someday exhamine it this area used to be subjected to occasional floods i do not believe it really has any value to us today" and so as we rentered our air-conditioned bus i looked back at the bowl imagining a faint forlorn cry in a serpentine land * * * j. r. martin 8 October 2012 |
