The Secret Glade

Within a forest in a glade,
Is Nature's finest green brocade,
It's nestled by a secret stream,
Inside the mirror of a dream.

If I should pause, to change direction,
Go to that place of soft reflection,
To sit beneath a sylvan bower,
Some dappled, sun splashed, shady hour,


A sacred glen, where Nature's free,
And shadows weave a tracery,
That laces through this hidden dell,
Where is that place? - I shall not tell.

In this green forest filled with trees,
Birds singing in their canopies,
Life is filled with extant power,
From trembling leaf to tip of flower,

Sun shining on a cloudless day,
Give me peace from the world's dismay,
To think a while in solitude,
An unspoiled place of rectitude,

I wish now for some sweet release,
And hope this song may never cease,
Within that wild and ancient glade,
Where lyrebirds sing in serenade,

In every leaf of every branch,
A gentle breeze will make them dance,
It's nestled by a secret stream,
My blissful sweet poetic dream.

Isolation (a sonnet)

Now touching on this isolation writing
I touch it now I am the daylight fighting.

This winter's day of clouds grey overcast
To wait a week or two just to outlast.

I've found something that I could not say
Favor romance on a dismal day.

Something in my heart becomes uncertain
I wish that I could be a better person.

I think of my soul and its incarnations
I think of drugs debasing kids and nations.

I think about my lost Arcadian dream -
My consciousness just currents down a stream.

I wish that I could find my better half
In this waiting game that is my life.

Lullaby

Sleep my baby, sleep my dear,
Iav-nanina-o.
It’s still dark, day’s yet not breaking,
Iav-nanina-o.
Nana I’m singing so that you sleep,
Singing you so that quiet you be,
Violet you bore with love in its heart,
Rose with a joy has brought you up.
Should Our Lady’s will be such
That I shall see you grown up,
Delia nana, my little one,
Watching me now with cherubic smile,
Sleep is coming, close your eyes,
Delia-nana-nanao!

About this poem:
This is the song Lullaby (Iavnana), the lyrics of which I have translated for you, dear poets, from Georgian. You could listen to the music, composed by our well known composer, to the heartfelt performance, and follow the lines of lyrics in English. The Georgian poetess Lali Gulisashvili is the author of the poem "Iavnana" (Lullaby). Below I attach the song. Hope you will enjoy it!

In your journey down the hall

In your journey down the hall,
Please wish me softly a goodnight call,
And as you close the bedroom door,
Gently, please, don't make it roar.

For as my eyelids slowly close,
I feel myself drift to repose,
And I begin to dream once more,
Of children's laughter I adore.

I miss them dearly as they played,
Their happiness, it never strayed,
They made me smile, they made me see,
The joy that comes from being free.

I loved to care for them each day,
To cherish them in every way,
To watch them grow, it was a sight,
But now they're angels in the night.

Among the stars they softly roam,
Guiding me through life's unknown,
Even through the darkest night,
They're angels now, among the light.

And I hope dearly, for someday,
We'll meet again, in some small way,
And then no one will say goodbye,
For none of us will ever fly

Stay with Me!

Don’t say that time has come for you to go,
How could you say, “We’ve never made it right”?!
And now since our love has made you strong
You say that it is time for us to part, how come?!
You’re looking far ahead for new horizons,
You say I've pinioned your wings so long, till now,
So that you shouldn’t look for greener pastures,
So that you'd dream abandon for this meager love.
How could you love regard in such a light?!
How could you love and dedication ever doubt?!
Some time your only stronghold was our love,
Now that you're free our love no longer counts.
Oh when in love don’t ever hope it is long run,
Love will mature in its course, then duly die.

About this poem:
I know many of you, dear friends, are in happy relationships, so this is just poetry. I personally am of the opinion that love can and is to last forever and ever, I just can’t write about joyful merriment and such things. So I may sound gruesome for many. But when I think of parting and such things a feeling of sadness overcomes me and I feel I can put it on paper. Thank you very much for your inspiring poetry.

Love

Wasting time
Hating myself
Never good enough
Tears and tears
Feeling sorry for myself
I don’t deserve anyone
I don’t deserve to be loved
Told as a child all my life
Believed it all of my life
Let it be told
None of that is true
All this time wasted
Love - Love
That’s all I need
To Love myself
First and foremost
The rest of my life will now continue to grow
For I Love - Love myself for the first time ever
What an amazing feeling .

Part-Two Trump Suggests:

1. The company cited a handful of 'regrettable cases of injuries or deaths' among those jumping aboard.
It said migrants were jumping on board the cargo trains despite the 'grave danger that represents,' the Associated Press reported.

2. It cited a 'significant increase' & said stopping the trains would 'protect the physical safety of the migrants' as authorities address the problem.
The number of Americans calling immigration a 'good thing' dropped in a Gallup poll this summer.

3. That comes in the run-up 2 a presidential campaign where immigration is set 2 be a top issue, with Republican candidates hammering the Biden administration on the issue.
There were 184,000 migrant encounters with border agents in July, up from 144,000 in June.
Those figures were actually down compared 2 the 200,000 crossings at the southern border during the same period in 2021 & 2022.

My Comments:

If Americans and Russians are educated, then why start a war in this Cold War Time, including Russia?
This earth belongs to the Commander and Chief of Heaven.
Psalms 24:1
When Adam had trespassed with evil in the Garden of Eden
God had evicted them.

Part-One Trump Suggests:

1. Trump suggests feeding migrants 2 ALLIGATORS 2 fix the overrun border: Ex-president says 'problem solved' in apparent joke
Former President Donald Trump shared a meme on Truth Social Wednesday that called a group of alligators 'new border security'
'Problem solved!!' the post said
Trump previously pitched building a moat next 2 his border wall and filling it with snakes or alligators.
By NIKKI SCHWAB, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER & GEOFF EARLE, DEPUTY U.S. POLITICAL EDITOR 4 DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 17:11 EDT, 20 September 2023 | UPDATED: 10:46 EDT, 21 September 2023

2. Former President Donald Trump floated a new plan Wednesday 2 solve the border crisis: Feed migrants to alligators.
The ex-president shared a meme 2 his Truth Social website Wednesday afternoon, which showed an image of six alligators with the words 'new border security' & 'will work for food' super imposed over it.
'Problem solved!!' the post also said.

3.Trump's commentary comes as border crossings returned 2 the levels from before Title 42 was dropped, with apprehensions hitting 8,000 on Monday.
It also comes after The New York Times reported in October 2019 that the then-president floated fortifying his border wall with a moat and filling it with snakes or alligators at an Oval Office meeting some months before.

4. Former President Donald Trump shared a meme Wednesday suggesting that migrants should be fed 2 alligators
Trump, who's running 4 another White House term, had pitched fortifying his border wall with a moat & filling it with snakes or alligators, The New York Times reported in 2019

5. During that meeting Trump had also pitched electrifying the border fence or adding spikes 2 the top of it, The Times said.
He had previously pitched shooting migrants in the legs, though stopped making that suggestion when White House staff told him that was illegal.

6. This month's rise in border apprehensions came after levels dropped off after President Joe Biden's administration ended Title 42 after a long court fight and put in new procedures meant to lower incentives & push more migrants in 2 an online application process.
7. After hitting 8,000 in May & overwhelming U.S. border facilities, border arrests dropped 2 around 3,500 in the intervening months, CNN reported.
Policy changes have fundamentally altered economic & other incentives, with new video emerging Monday of migrants cheering while hanging off the side of rolling freight trains on the way 2 the U.S. border.
8. Astounding footage of the Ferro Mex train was shot as the locomotive with hundreds in tow could be seen coming out of the Central Mexican city of Zacatecas as it made its way northbound on the 750-mile journey toward the U.S.

My Comments About This Issue:

1. First of all I can't find-it anywhere in the holy bible
or torah that the Savior said:
"Feed this or that nation of men 2 the Alligators."
Had Former President Trump had by accident
mentioned another nation of men that are a super power,
United States would had received a missile.

2. U have heard the former president speak calling it a "Joke."
Genuine Racism causes Genuine Wars.
Racism isn't a joke!
I wouldn't doubt after Trump had said that,
a number of foreign countries had shut their door working with U.S.
Law Enforcement.
In China there are over 100-Mosque's.

3. Outside the United States a number of foreign countries
they hate genuine racism.
It kills, it steals, it destroy's lives that cannot be replaced.
The whole world is our neighbor but genuine racism
they will never accept!
I wouldn't doubt that a few in number have already signed a peace treaty
with China and Japan.
Another note: Their Military keeps getting bigger and bigger
with other nations signing a peace treaty with them.

Another Comment: All the other past account U.S. former presidents had never said
such a thing Trump is the only one.

I didn't write the Trump News posted this because Trump is running again
for the oval office.

1-A. My First Comment:

United States is the Modern Day "Sodom and Gomorrah."
Too many hundreds of years ago God had destroyed
the Middle-Eastern "Sodom and Gomorrah."
I think it isn't wise to build another Sodom and Gomorrah,
you will wake-up the genuine wrath of God.
According to [Revelations 22:18] God will drop more Viruses and more
plagues when scripture is broken out just like a window pain in a house.

When you break his Commandments: [Matthew 7:2]
he will turn around and break everything that you hold so dear.
He will always give u back the same measure that u had given to him.

2-A. My Ending Comments About This:

I was in the Victory Outreach Recovery Home For Men.
I Miss It So...It Felt Like I Was Visiting The Holy Land,
I Had Never Felt So Much Love In Their Church In All My Life.

This Is A Place Where You Will Learn How To Stop Putting
Your Foolishness To Work For You -- Psalms 38:5

3-A. My Final Ending Comment:

2 Chronicles 7:14 [King James Version]

14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Ok, different nations of men all over the world,
I already know a number of you hate this God of ISRAEL.
If you look at this verse of scripture real close 2 Chronicles 7:14
God calls all nations "My People."

15. God Would Never Call All U Different Nations of Men,
"Immigrants and Refugees."
God's Son Had Never Once Called Different Nations of Men
"Immigrants and Refugees,"
America Is The Only Place In The World That Does That.

A Night in Newtown (circa 1987)

Damned by alcohol, our convict forebears;
Put a pub on ev'ry corner of old Newtown,
A night in Newtown - nothing compares -
(This suburb by its pubs, still has renown);-
Places for daydreams, and for quick affairs -
They are not formal - you don't need a ballgown;-
I can count at least five, or six, or seven;-
For drinkers, this is a kind of "God sent" heaven*.

This night a young man finds himself adrift,
In a big city - Sydney (to be exact);-
And from his mountain home - there is a rift;-
From what's familiar - he can't re-enact.
His former life - how reality does shift!,
Place and Time, and Time and Place react;-
So as to produce a strange perplexity;-
City life in all of its complexity.

A young man finds himself, at age eighteen,
In Newtown, in the dirty inner city.
A strange place, where things aren't as they seem;
(For a country lad, much more's the pity;-
In some ways knowing - although far too naive);-
So I must continue my poetic ditty,-
(By a ditty - I only mean these stanzas;-
Not the whole of life's extravaganzas).

My Newtown, (jaded Newtown) - an old whore;-
A faded jaded lady, down at heel,**
What you first see, you see, then so much more;
(Tonight reveals the bums, and the genteel);
Where students, derelicts, and junkies score;-
(She cloaks herself in night - so to reveal);-
Innocents find a fantasmagoria;-
If she had a ladies name - it be Gloria.

King Street winds, in serpentine complexity;
Like a river, down into St Peters;
Here you find every type of humanity,
From the wealthy, down to the Metho drinkers;***
Dulls the senses, of the night's black vanity;
A brilliant jewel, is to what this verse refers;
Australians, and other Nationalities,-
Into this melting pot now find finality?

The Beatles, and of Lucy's Sky with Diamonds;-
And how, at times, things seem like plasticine,
Trees, and palm trees, with their dark black fronds;
Lurched up before us like figures of glacine;
And paraded on the streets - the demimonde;
To Erskineville, we walked a dark ravine;
Through night's brocade - in all its strange regalia;-
To the bosom of the Rose of Australia.

Still, things seemed like an oddity we dreamed,
In this hotel Steve^, and I bought schooners,*****
The trip had not worn off (or so it seemed);
Overhead the full moon, white and lunar;
Silvery moonlight down upon us streamed;
I then wished I had finished my beer sooner;
As all about me patron's skeletons;
Were seen bereft of their clothe's curtains.******

It's not surprising, then, we fled the hotel,
And walked along the molten plastic streets;
Through Alexandria^^ - factories, and hovels;
Then, suddenly, the rain fell down in sheets;-
Before subsiding to a gentle drizzle;
Then we found ourselves on Boundary Street;
I said to Steve "I need to take a piss"
Beneath a street light - diamonds from my d*ck!

In this strange way, our trip came to an end;
(I think we walked back, but I can't recall);
"All's well, that ends well" ^^^- I can recommend;
You take a trip, or take one not at all;
Please yourself; although never do pretend;
That you have seen what I have seen - don't enthrall;-
Or guild your memories, with pretense false;-
Be honest now, and honest with your self.

About this poem:
* Excluding the Lesbian, and Gay, pubs.
** It was, at this time, now quite expensive - and gentrified.
*** Old male alcoholics, on "skid row" drinking "metho" (methylated spirits).
**** A pub.
***** A measure of beer, (425 mL).
***** Somebody put something in my drink! (in a previous pub, I think it was that c*nt
Steve!).
^ My friend at the time, and about my age.

^^ Alexandria, Inner Sydney industrial suburb - now covered in home units
(apartments).
^^^ As Shakespeare said.
(Erskineville, and St Peter's are also inner Sydney suburbs).

The Rose of Australia ............. a pub
