The eyes of Eve
(Click on the Moonlight Sonata at the bottom of the post, and then read the poem)
You wonder if they are blue or green
Or grey like she said
Light green I see
Light jade
The stone from Heaven
The chinese call it
A reflection I would say
Of jade, in a sightseeing of Heaven
A mirroir of nature's green
And then there is the blue
Almost dark blue
And black in the middle
A beautiful blue sky
So intense
With a focus of black inside
To look at me maybe
An endearing blue
Intimate in Happiness
Eve thinks they are grey sometimes
Light grey I suppose
Innocence and maturity
Mixed with placid neutrality
Simple kindness
A desert of passionate feelings
The class of friendliness
The charm of afternoon
For me it's noon
Noon that is, where do I go from here
The sun is right on top of me
Eve's eyes are right on me
Should I go for the green
Of late afternoon
The light green of serenity
With me standing inside her eyes
Enjoying the sublime extase
Of fulfilling joy and expectations
Or should I go for the illuminated blue
Of the early evening
Or lively morning
I see in your eyes
Nurturing blue enlightened
Around a core, a strong focus
Of connection, a sense of belonging
A tender surrounding of light blue
Setting on me like the sun on the set
Maybe settle for the grey afternoon
After the dream of noon
When the sun is right on me
Eve's eyes lighting up my face
Her light is still there on you, in you, even later on
Like a loving memory
Is that love at first sight, or the quiet breeze of the night
A vague, pervasive, but happy feeling
Soothing you in warm but wise sentiments
I saw you from far
And thought your eyes were of all colors
Brownish like the gaze of a deer
With the colors of the fall
Now they are grey, blue and green
With the light of friendship
Enlivened in beautiful smiles
Blushing together in imaginary guesses
Walking by...Walk on by...mmm...Joni's eyes...

Vision of a young christian woman
Vision of a young christian lady
(click on the first music video of Chopin at the bottom of the post, and then read the poem)
I walked in and there she was
In the fellowship room
Eating wisely
Listening and talking
Like in a vision
Pretty and sweet
A christian beauty
I walked toward her
Attracted by the pull of righteousness
Perceived in the charm of this new face
I talked to her like you talk to an angel
And her voice sounded Heavenly
And her smile from out of this world
Opened my heart to the bliss of womanhood
I sat there talking to her
Under the spell of her serenity
And suddenly she looked straight into my eyes
And I saw a sunset, her feminine tenderness
Illuminating her warm gaze
The ultimate beauty
Of her christian face
And we talked, we talked
Like in the badinerie of Bach
So lovely a woman
Such joyful conversation
And me stuck there as if I was being born again
In the christian charm
Of Eve, a cascade of pearls in her laugh
I tell you God made women too pretty
It gets dizzy to be so close
To so much exquisite feminity
In a beautiful christian woman
I needed a step back
A step into prayer
A step out, a step into ideal reality
And we finally walked out
Accompanied, but on our own
Free to get to know each other
And she asks the right questions
She complains nicely about life's inconveniences
She questions why things happen
God is in charge, He leads and we follow
Be cautious like a serpent
And innocent like a dove
Get God's perspective through prayer
Friendship, love, and the future are in his hands
It's always wonderful to explore affinities
A sense of priorities, God, career, lifestyle, Investment, studies, family
Getting to know a christian woman like you is a divine pleasure, heaven on earth...
God bless you in all your endeavors...

Vision d'une jeune femme chretienne
Vision d'une jeune femme chretienne
(click on the first music video of Chopin at the bottom of the post, and then read the poem)
Je suis entre et elle etait la
Dans la salle d'entretiens fraternels
Mangeant sagement
Ecoutant et parlant
Comme dans une vision
Belle et douce
Une beaute Chretienne
Je me suis dirige ver elle
Attire par l'attraction de la vertu
Percue dans le charme de cette nouvelle face
Je lui a parle comme on parle a un ange
Sa voix resonnait comme une voix du paradis
Et son sourire d'un autre monde
Ouvrit mon coeur au bonheur de la feminite
Je me suis assis la a lui parler
Sous le charme de sa serenite
Et soudainement elle me regarda droit dans les yeux
Et j'ai vu un coucher de soleil, sa tendresse de femme
Illuminant son regard chaleureux
La beaute ultime
D'un visage Chretien
Et nous avons parle, parle
Comme dans la "badinerie" de Bach
Si ravissante comme femme
Et quelle joyeuse conversation
Et moi fige la, comme si j'etais en train de naitre
Dans le charme Chretien
D'Eve, une cascade de perles dans son rire
Je vous dis que Dieu a cree les femmes trop belles
C'est troublant d'etre aussi pres
D'autant de feminite exquise
Dans une belle femme Chretienne
J'avais besoin d'un petit peu de retrait
Un retrait dans la priere
Un pas a l'exterieur, un pas dans la realite ideale
Et nous sommes finalement sortis
Accompagnes, mais ensemble et en prive
Libres de se connaitre
Et elle demande les questions correctes
Et elle se complaint gentillement des inconveniences de la vie
Elle questionne pourquoi les choses arrivent
Dieu est en charge, Il guide et nous suivons
Sois prudente comme un serpent
Et innocente comme une colombe
Obtiens la perspective de Dieu par la priere
Amitie, Amour, et l'avenir sont entre ses mains
C'est toujours merveilleux d'explorer les affinites
Un sens des priorites, Dieu, carriere, investissement, genre de vie, etudes, famille
Connaitre une femme chretienne comme toi est un plaisir divin, le paradis sur terre
Que Dieu te benisse dans toutes tes entreprises...

SWEET THERESA
Sweet Theresa
( click on the music video clair de lune, Debussy, at the bottom of this post and read this poem in the meantime )
She connects with you
With a smile, an exquisite smile
And her eyes light up
You feel her beauty anew
And the charm goes on for a while
And her sweet gaze keeps it up
You wonder about her tenderness
That passion in her eyes
This joie de vivre in her cheeks
And you wonder about all this sweetness
That could be yours, and you utter all these sighs
In your mind, in your heart, and she takes peeks
You wonder if she sees you, feels you, observes
The effect of her charm on you, your melting
Into her hands, your enjoying of her presence
Of her warm aura, while she serves
The honey brewed tea to your craving
Sweetly brewed in her delicate essence
Oh Theresa, you are an artist, a charmer
And our feelings might be the great stroke of your brush
Do you enjoy the art or just the dance?
The intrigue or you mean to discover
The ultimate feeling, the thrill of the rush
An emotion, subtle or dense
Your svelte body blows into the music of the moment
And you become a melody
We listen to, a breeze we cherish
A sexy awakening, a sweet torment
To our sleeping senses, a parody
Of previous feelings and desires, and our fears vanish
You make a pair of jeans look tender
And your beautiful hair seems to hide in the hood
The doves plunging into your sweater
Raising their heads, gentle and slender
The feeling you inspire is a quintessential mood
You warm up the temperate weather
How serious you look sometimes
As if holding onto your feminine cues
As if to avoid letting us in, you seem mute
And we seem to stop hearing your rhymes
But like a flower, you blossom and the news
Reach out for the beat of our hearts, Tess, you are so cute

BLISSFUL MOMENT
Blissful moment
( click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: Badinerie, Bach, and read this poem in the meantime )
A cute and petite fire
With warm somber flames
On her head, an inspiration of a hair
Writing, reading, focused in the wire
Of her working brain, calling on all the dames
Of imagination, all the Muses to her dare
A sweet little smile
With vivacious eyes
And a shivering little nose
With warm and tender and agile
Motions to enjoy like a prize
Expressed in a subtle and fleeting pose
An exquisite petite body type
Well proportioned, with a pair of sweet doves
Reaching out for a fine neck leading to lovely lips
She's so pretty, so charming, so desirable, I feel the hype
And she sits there in her studious alcoves
Taking refuge both at the window and in her brain, and I take peeps
I ask for her e-mail, I ask her to pose
For my painting that I write with desire
And she reacts with poise, hesitations and cuteness
And I feel special to be around her, a dose
Of loveliness, exquisite attraction, lights up my fire
But pure appreciation of her beauty, she walks ;) and I see more of her sweetness
My delectation of pure beauty and tenderness

THEOS
THEOS: TOTAL HEALTH HABIT EXERCICE OPPORTUNITIES SCHEDULE
( click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: Yo-Yo Ma plays the prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 , and then read this poem in the meantime )
A Time for Life…A Time for God
A time to breath, a time to run, a time to walk
A time to listen and another time to talk
A time to sing, a time to see God’s nature dance
A time to enjoy in silence while being tense
The music in the woods and the immense silence
In our soul, of the voice of God talking some sense
In our life, speaking truth to our heart, whispering
Life in our veins, softly, with His love showering
All our senses with the sublime beauty of earth
The tender trees, the charm of flowers and the mirth
In Nature, the joy in smelling the scents of wood
The perfumes of life in the bright clouds of our mood
A time to eat on time: some fruits, seeds and green
To eat early, to drink, just enough to be lean
So you may think straight, and a time for perspective
A time to love, to sigh, a time to take and give
A time for everything, a time to mourn and strive
A time to enjoy and feel ecstatic, alive
A time to sleep, a time to wake up and to leave
To stop and go, to come, to think, to work and live
Live fully, thrive with force, work out and bear fruits
Inspired by God, by His Spirit, to take roots
In life and in Health, so your dreams may thus come true
A time to grab favors, a time to let slip thru
Temptation and bad rush, a time to be serene
A time to be on time, with goals clear and pristine
A time to search, a time to make stable choices
A time to rest, time to wonder, to hear voices
Of the Divine telling you to dare and have faith
In what is good, a time to dream, to hold your gait
To take a step back so you may engage forward
A time to look inside, time to reach outward
Time to be healthy and time to let Jesus in
Time to be in charge with our Great God reigning in
A time to pray, a time to forgive and get grace
A time to grow, to bloom, a time to set the pace
O time to enjoy peace, a time to do things right
A time for Sabbath, a time for stars and Light
A time for energy, for surrender, total
To God’s plans, to His Love, O Time! O ETERNAL!!!

THE SMILE OF GOD
The Smile of God
( Click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: Jesus, Joy of Man's desire, Bach, the last one on the right preferably , and then read this poem in the meantime )
The desert with no end, strife is ahead of you
Problems abound and signs of relief are but few
You walk the path laden with inconveniences
Vexations lead to sins with bad appearances
Contacts with God strengthen you bit by bit in faith
And you rise gradually by avoiding the bait
Of despair, unbelief, you'll cling tight to his promise
To deliver you out of all your growing mess
The Spirit leads you to new horizons, blue skies
Where you may feel better, enjoy such stronger ties
With your Father and the love and the grace of Jesus
Empowering our soul and thus forgiving us
The gates of Heaven will open up your thinking
And you will see the hand of your Majestic King
In the grandeur of a wonderful universe
Where God to disorder is so clearly averse
Stars will shine in your mind as to your eyes, you'll see
God in charge, his power to lead you in the sea
Of life with a future for your good desires
As long as you believe when you walk through fires
The breeze will wake you up and nature will welcome
Your weary soul, then the sweet smile of God will come
Through your heart, you will take time to enjoy flowers
On your path, the green leaves of the trees, His wonders
You will see, you will smell, you will hear, you will feel
The smile of God to you, in nature you will fill
Your lungs of His breath like in the Niagara Falls
You'll stand tall again with God's smiling in His Halls

AND HE IS THERE...GOD!
And He is there...GOD
(Click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: No need to fear, and then Read this poem in the meantime.)
He is, He said I am, He's the Reality
The One you see, when all comes down to vanity
The One who sustains you, The One who stands for you
He is, He's with you here, there, with strength, joy, anew
He's the forgotten One, The One longing for you
The One they trample on, The One who died for you
He's there, He wants to help with your worries, your pain
He wants to carry you, you want to walk, in vain
When He wants to help you walk, you want a car
He cares about your health, He wants to take you far
Into Eternity, He wants you close to Him
He wants you so much and so much you need Him
And you look around you, and you see misery
And the ones crying for relief and some mercy
So much suffering and such troubling confusion
And you stand there and see the complete erosion
And you ask where is God? And you wonder, you faint
I'll tell you where God is, I saw him listening
To the loud and crying prayers of humble ones
Little people in little places on many runs
They pray and they pray, they ask again and again
What have you gone to see? What is it that they gain
They know because they keep at it, in little shacks
In desert places, they don't know much but know facts
They know He's there, because they have seen Him before
They know He cares because they've always been cared for
He is here in your soul, and your heart pumps His love
And He is there with you, always, sweet like a dove
And his light will guide you at every step you take
He has set open doors ahead of plans you make
When you listen to Him and The Holy Spirit
He wrote a love letter to you with such merit
Jesus is The Word sent to die and live for you
His stories that guide you and your future renew
Are for you to share with weary souls and all men
You are one of His words to the world, an omen
All of you are blessings, when you keep your whole hearts
Your bodies, fed only by God with Manna parts
Food from herbs and trees, fruits, with colors to give joy
Peace, Life and Health, Faith, good works and walks, enjoy

THE DREAMS OF A PEOPLE
The Dreams of a People
( click on the music video at the bottom of the post titled: Heal our land and God bless America sang by Wintley Phipps, and then read this poem in the meantime )
“Heal our land, grant us peace, and strengthen us today
All those who lack the faith to call on Thee and pray
We want our liberties, please keep us safe and free
Guide us with your hand God! Still bless that great country
We’ll put our trust in Thee so we will thus be free
Heal our land; Lead us in truth and democracy
Help us find our way, with love and fraternity
Protect us all with the power of unity”
“We know you dream for us in a constellation
When you dream, the flowers blush in admiration”
Let us have another dream of yours; I have a dream
We shall say from the heart you refresh with a stream
We will stand up again for what is right and just
Give us the courage to be diligent we must
Be fair, equitable, in our sharing the wealth
Of our hard work to keep ev’ryone in good health
Show us how to invest our capital surplus
And create meaningful careers for all of us
Move us to be very dynamic in our jobs
Fruitful, dedicated, not wasteful and proud snobs
We dream as a people for a new beginning
From years of challenges, a true awakening
From the past nightmare of disasters and tough lies
Misleading cues of life in politics and ties
With selfish interests and pride, glory and rush
Sacrifices and dreams wiped by a money brush
We dream again, we thrive for the hope of real change
May Obama lead us to wealth in higher range
The wealth of real Justice, the wealth of real nurture
One nation under God, away from the vulture
Of greed and ugly risks, of stagnation and fear
To health for a country we cherish and hold dear
The audacity of hope instills optimism
In our hearts of patriots, we’ll fight terrorism
Wherever we find it, we’ll crush it with precision
And avert it with love and wisdom and decision
With guidance from above, hard work and diplomacy
And good monitoring, swift in immediacy
We will be strong and fair, we’ll fight and win and care
For dreams of poor and rich, because the people dare
Carl Edward Nicolas

We’ll put our trust in Thee so we will thus be free
Heal our land; Lead us in truth and democracy
Help us find our way, with love and fraternity
Protect us all with the power of unity”
“We know you dream for us in a constellation
When you dream, the flowers blush in admiration”
Let us have another dream of yours; I have a dream
We shall say from the heart you refresh with a stream
We will stand up again for what is right and just
Give us the courage to be diligent we must
Be fair, equitable, in our sharing the wealth
Of our hard work to keep ev’ryone in good health
Show us how to invest our capital surplus
And create meaningful careers for all of us
Move us to be very dynamic in our jobs
Fruitful, dedicated, not wasteful and proud snobs
We dream as a people for a new beginning
From years of challenges, a true awakening
From the past nightmare of disasters and tough lies
Misleading cues of life in politics and ties
With selfish interests and pride, glory and rush
Sacrifices and dreams wiped by a money brush
We dream again, we thrive for the hope of real change
May Obama lead us to wealth in higher range
The wealth of real Justice, the wealth of real nurture
One nation under God, away from the vulture
Of greed and ugly risks, of stagnation and fear
To health for a country we cherish and hold dear
The audacity of hope instills optimism
In our hearts of patriots, we’ll fight terrorism
Wherever we find it, we’ll crush it with precision
And avert it with love and wisdom and decision
With guidance from above, hard work and diplomacy
And good monitoring, swift in immediacy
We will be strong and fair, we’ll fight and win and care
For dreams of poor and rich, because the people dare
Carl Edward Nicolas
With a paraphrase of Wintley Phipps in the first ten verses
Listen to the song: (O God )“Heal our Land” by Wintley Phipps
