Cries From Within

Peace for us all

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 11:40:00 +0000

All that I am wanting is for peace for us all

For the rich ones, the poor ones, the great and the small

For Democrats and Republicans, and Independents too

I'm hoping for this miracle, I hope it'll come true

For too long we've been fighting and pushing a cause

That doesn't unite us: but, magnifies flaws

How long will we do this and create such a scene

The world keeps on watching; do you know what I mean?

If We are this country that's divided in two

What forces can't conquer us; destroy me and you?

We must try to fix this and bring liberty

To all who are living here: this land of the free

What are you running from

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 22:41:00 +0000

You raised up all my hopes only to dash them to the ground

It would have been much better had you never come around

My heart has been ripped up completely and am feeling alone again

Please help me dearest Angels.. with this sorrow deep within

You arranged it all ..so quickly.. but it was only for a day

You acted like it was all natural but it disappeared away

The memories of the old days started dancing inside my mind

And I found myself recreating that family I wished was mine

How long will you keep on ignoring the ones that you should love

Is it really our own reality that you keep on running from?

If we keep on with our pretending perhaps there'll be no past

Is this what is really happening.. you're afraid the lying cannot last

Welcome to our new President.

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 17:46:00 +0000

Welcome to our new President, may God be with you these four years

May His Spirit be your Counselor: and vanquish your doubt or fears

With the office will come the grace you need; you have only to ask and pray

God will become your Enlightenment as long as you walk in His Way

I pray for you and your family. for your cabinet and your staff

May you always find the strength you need when political parties clash

So much will be thrust upon you now and you're going to feel the weight

Of accepting the honored position of the President of the United States

Take heed not to push your power long and be ready to walk beside

The poorest man, d the forgotten ones and those with the greatest pride

For the greatest man or woman now will be the one with the title or not

Who reaches out to every citizen despite their baggage or lot

Oh, let there be peace, in the good ole USA

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 11:05:00 +0000

Oh, let there peace in the good ole USA

For fighting and warring have long had their way

This divisiveness and hating and violence galore

Is not what are freedoms were ever meant for

So put down your shouting your flags of unrest

Be peacefully respectful as you gather to protest

It's never been fruitful when the violence erupts

Destruction is ugly; there's been too much of this stuff

Our President has been elected so let us agree

It's time to move on in this land of the free

Our actions are inviting the others to see

America the Beautiful isn't all it can be??

It's okay, not agreeing, but, don't promote hate

We're still in a country that allows good debate

But destruction of property and ignoring the law

Is creating an energy that'll be hard to withdraw

So peace to all people, from east unto the west

For Democrats and Republicans and all of the rest

We must keep on living in this land of the free

Put away all the ugliness, that we weren't meant to be

Nothing else matters

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:02:00 +0000

Nothing else maters in the very end

Where we are now or where we have been

Will only be vehicles that helped you and me

To become living participants in our own destiny

For inside each human heart and in every soul

Is written most deeply a most certain goal

We journey there daily and try to succeed

To bringing it into fruition: God's holy seed

Though we differ from others in so many ways

We're sharing this universe and sharing our days

With the most perfect strangers or people we know

We alone are responsible for all we will sow

Are we the uniters or do we divide

Do words come out of us that hurt us inside??

What actions will linger when finally we stand

Before God The Almighty who gave us our hand

No questions will popup all will be clear

For other's opinions won't find open ear

For in the forever pre-selection determining event

Our actions alone will tell where our Eternity's spent

Time..well spent

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 08:53:00 +0000

Before the morning comes to be

Angel spirits are whispering to me :

Approach each day like something new

So much beauty is waiting for you

Like gentle touches from some pen

They write their music deep within

And every angel... good and kind

Speaks their messages to my mind

And when I rouse..and am ready to rise

They help me see with angelic eyes

Not with thoughts that rant or rage

But with a verse from Heaven's page

They take my hands..they lead the way

And sing their songs throughout the day

Not like some melody I've heard before

But like an ointment that can restore

It may seem strange that I should write

Of beings that escape all human sight

But they want our attention and love us much

And leave us longing for Heaven's touch

So seek them out with heart and mind

In silent moments that will unwind

In morning's birth or night's descent

You won't be sorry..it's time well spent

A break from routine...

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 12:08:00 +0000

Early morning ...is calling out; but, I continue in my sleep

Let the worries of the day hold on ..and let the angels keep

Everything that's meant to be for just a little longer

Sleep has come to rescue me and I'm getting a little stronger..

I hear the beeping of my phone and the rustling of my cats

I know that I must be getting up .. there's no escaping that

But.. I thank the God.. above for... all and for such a beautiful night

And welcome with my angels guides .. the early morning light...

Don't be afraid to change your plans and put a halt to all

Allow yourself to break routine and silence text and call

Sometimes, you're needing .. something more ..something totally new

So let the sands of time .. back up. .and sleep in an hour or two.....

Turning the pages

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 12:39:00 +0000

The pages, will, now, turn..to another calendar year

But what does this all mean for each one of us here..?

Will it mean resolutions or some sighs of relief;

Or simply another celebration that's become a routine

We welcome you 2021 but we fear you..just as well

We've just through passed a year that was as scary as hell

The virus has been running through every place we know

We would like it very much if this old Covid would just go

The headlines were so many and we want to leave them all behind

To embrace this brand new year... we'll have to readjust our mind

Hoping against all hope that everything will become okay

In finances and in healthcare and in our living of every day

We welcome you 2021 but we fear you..just as well

We've just passed through a year that was as scary as hell

The virus has been running through every place we know

We would like it very much if this old Covid would just go

To truly move ahead we must learn to embrace the new

Letting go of painful pasts is never an easy thing to do

But trying with all we are to move forward so we can see

That 2021 might be that year that we've been longing for it to be

We welcome you 2021 but we fear you ..just as well

We've just passed through a year that was as scary as hell

The virus has been running through every place we know

We would like it very much if this old Covid would just go

Don't you now who you are?

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 12:29:00 +0000

The night isn't always going to be dark and the day isn't always going to be light

Sometimes the opposite will happen..and the wrong will turn into right

So let us trust ourselves to That Someone Who holds the night and day in hand

He'll straighten up our every confusion and lead us to understand

Our God is a loving God and He's never able to do ....but right

The darkness that sometimes surrounds us isn't a forever thing to fight

For our God is a God of all Brightness and of a Wisdom that is ever clear

He will reach down from His place in Heaven to keep each one of us ever near

So turn away from that negative thinking that tells you. you are not a prize

God sent down His Only Begotten to ransom you with so great a price

Outstretched on a tree of Calvary to undo the curse of that sin

He will continue to remind us of Eden and forgive us again and again

Our God is a loving God and He's never able to do ....but right

The darkness that sometimes surrounds us isn't a forever thing to fight

For our God is a God of all Brightness and of a Wisdom that is ever clear

He will reach down from His place in Heaven to keep each one of us ever near

You are each one ..an original copy.. created from all time to be

A child of the Most High Creator.. a participant in the Divine Trinity

Destined to be a light forever... shining out..to a world.. in need

Let the Spirit of God be your counselor and The Light that helps you see..

Our God is a loving God and He's never able to do ....but right

The darkness that sometimes surrounds us isn't a forever thing to fight

For our God is a God of all Brightness and of a Wisdom that is ever clear

He will reach down from His place in Heaven to keep each one of us ever near

Tiny Sprinkles

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 11:24:00 +0000

Tiny sprinkles..soft and white

Fall from Heavens ..bless our sight

Like a blanket covering all

Snowflakes gracefully peacefully fall

Oh.. to see them ..all should know

Makes me smile .and inwardly glow

Something about them feels so right

All is beautiful ..they're so bright

Before we walk and press them down

Snow is like the Bridal gown

Crisp and pure and beautifully white

Loveliness is on their side...

How to see them..when they fall

All these snowflakes..over all?

Do they change your deep inside

Make you feel like Heaven's light???

While we are sleeping

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Mon, 28 Dec 2020 01:59:00 +0000

Let the silence of the evening..lull your heart and soul to sleep

Close your mind and calm your spirit..for the angels watch and keep

All the peoples of all the nations..every one us ..far and near

Are protected by God's spirits: the guardian angels are ready to hear

As the night falls and the day flees take some time for quiet prayer

Do not worry about all the troubles though they shout out everywhere

For the God of all things living.. will take care of you and me

He is loving and He is Almighty and He can calm the raging sea

When we're sleeping and not watching .. there are those who never sleep

They are beings ..quick and careful.. guardian angels for humanity

Let us love them and invoke them; like we would a trusted friend

For these angels are ever ready and will be with us to the very end.

It's the day before Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 12:52:00 +0000

It's the day before Christmas and you're still on the run

There is just one more present and then, you will be done

With wrapping and fussing and cooking nice treats

Tomorrow is really Christmas and the whole family meets

You're looking it over..all the work that you've done

You're counting the presents..is there enough for everyone

You sitting down slowly to get off of your feet

It's Christmas eve finally..is it all really complete?

But what about Jesus and the whole manger scene

Is He part of this picture ..do you know what I mean

With the running and the fussing and the wrapping galore

Have you included a memory of what it's all for?

Today the Good Almighty has let us all in

He has opened up the Heavens and let us begin

To travel most surely to This Place we all seek

He's promised us entry through This Baby so meek

Just a baby and some hay

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 11:35:00 +0000

Just a baby and some hay

Some may say of Christmas day

But we know as shepherds knew

God was in This Babe ..so true

Lowly creatures were around

Acknowledging God's Immortal sound

Bowing low, they brought Him heat

Manger animals were first to greet

Hospital beds and urgent care

Were not a part of Mary's share

She bore her Babe in bitter cold

She knew no comfort we've been told

And St Joseph who was nearby

Must have felt the urge to cry

A man so strong..so capable

Could not change what seemed horrible

But why would God Who made us all

Choose a manger and a stall

If not to teach us in some way

That He is the Hope of any day

What a wonderful day

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 11:40:00 +0000

Happy Birthday Juan

What a wonderful day ..to wake up and sing

And to embrace all the world and to love everything

Gifted so freely and freely it'll all stay

God has so blessed you..with this beautiful day..

The morning is breaking like so many of the others

The sunshine is shining on our sisters and brothers

Creatures are romping and the birds..they all sing

What a wonderful day .. the Almighty does bring

The coffee is brewing or maybe it is some tea

It really isn't important in the broad view of things

But what rises so promptly like the sun in the dawn

Is each breath that you're taking while mother earth yawns

If today you are reading these whispers I write

Know ..that you're special and are primed for the Light

Who loves you so dearly that He wakes you each day

With wisdom and beauty and love along the way

So jump up..start dancing... with a quick step or two

You're uniquely created and there's only one you

You're destined for greatness and only you'll know

How privileged you've been by the Divine Overflow....

The Patient One

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 06:35:00 +0000

I waited around to see

If they would remember ME

But time.. it all.. elapsed

And I became their past

I called out once again

To hearts and souls within

But they wouldn't even hear...

They didn't want to..it is clear

Another time I tried

To have us all unite

But they would not ..not a one..

Have room for Me or My Son

So now, I call from my throne

For some friendship and a new home

But I carry no scepter or crown

I am helpless...and I keep falling down

He silences all greatness

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 10:58:00 +0000

The big star was shining and pointing the way

To a Baby in a Manger .. the True Star of the day

The wise men came seeking .. from far and from wide

An Astrological promise that couldn't be denied

So they see Him this Baby in a lodging so low

That..only the animals ....were the first ones to know

That He is their Creator.. and the God of all time

He silences all greatness and crosses each line..

The shepherds were watching as the wise man approached

Carrying their treasures like the costliest gold

Dressed up in their attire of finest new threads

These kings... came there.. looking ..like they were there to impress

So they see Him this Baby in a lodging so low

That ..only the animals... were the first ones to know

That He is their Creator.. and the God of all time

He silences all greatness and crosses each line.

The great ones look puzzled as they took in this poor sight

The promised One they searched for ..in dimly lit light

No colorful emblems that would mark Him the King

This Baby, they were viewing.. didn't look like "anything"

So they see Him this Baby in a lodging so low

That ..only the animals... were the first ones to know

That He is their Creator.. and the God of all time

He silences all greatness and crosses each line.

Though disillusioned and puzzled these great ones would leave

Knowing interiorly what they should come to believe.

That ..this baby.. so gentle ...so meekly displayed

Was the talk of the century and Heaven's true way

So they see Him this Baby in a lodging so low

That...only the animals... were the first ones to know

That He is their Creator.. and the God of all time

He silences all greatness and crosses each line.

Wintry mix

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 11:45:00 +0000

Freezing whispers trickle in

Wintry breezes start again

Rain is chilly ...making ice:

Piping soup is sound nice

Frosty figures ..now appear

Silhouetting far and near.

Hear the crispness, in your walk:

Winter's speaking..hear her talk?

Slow your pace down ..not so fast..

Icy patches they forecast

Take some time: to look, to see

What is frosting walks and street

Winters coming.... this is true

So I write this verse for you

Take your time, to think, to live

In this icy wintry mix..

Soon it'll be Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 08:25:00 +0000

Soon it'll be Christmas and the celebrations will begin

Family and friends will all come visit us again

We'll light up our houses and we'll hang up some cheer

We will do like each Christmas that comes every year

But what will we be do to make it more resonate

Beyond all these wrappings and these light bulbs ornate

Will we also be pondering over.. the message most clear

That a Baby in a manger has started all of this, here...

If it were it not for This Baby .. for this mother and child

We wouldn't be celebrating with so much festivity and style

No, there wouldn't be any presents all glittery and aglow

So we mustn't forget it...this Christmas story we know

Without a church

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 17:55:00 +0000

Without a church.or golden steeple

Jesus went and taught the people

He healed the lame and helped the poor

He never ever "shut the door"

His family history brought up all:

A king, a hooker.. a manger stall

Unknown to many but for all He came

He never was seeking some glorious fame

This King and Messiah, and Lamb of God

Was friend for everyone who ever sought

His love His friendship ..His free advice

He was both: our Savior and our Sacrifice.

Christmas Light

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 11:04:00 +0000

Oh quietest light you illuminate the night

And point us forever to God's True Light

Without ever a word .you teach us forever

About Ways and Truths That'll keep us together

Year after year you continue to appear

And remind us all how God will draw near

Not inside a castle or wearing a crown

Will God come to us or bring Heaven down

The elite ..and. great are not first to see

How God has Chosen to save humanity

But simple shepherds and sheep lead the way

To God's first mansion.. a pile of hay

So today we'll learn like others once did

How God's True Light prefers to live

Not lavish or luxurious or sporting some glow

But humble and hidden and avoiding all show

The greatest..and highest are often unseen

They carry a smile and a serenity serene

But riches and treasures that many would grab

They flee from like lighting so little they have

Take some moments before you start

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 10:04:00 +0000

Before the morning sun breaks through

And you start the things you do

Listen deeply and listen long

Hear the universe ..hear her song

Sounding crickets, who echoed deep

Slowly soften and no longer sing

For, with coming.. light of day

These nocturnal bug-lets hide away

In the dawn as night gives way

Birds are chirping and seem to say

Sing with us ...oh welcome Him

Who brought us through this night so dim

Squirrels romp and jump and dig

For morning foraging is their gig

Playing also becomes their routine

Work and play makes life serene

Other creatures will come and go

But this will vary; we all should know

For this depends .on me ..on you

And where we are when night is through

But as was stated.... from the start

Take some moments inside your heart

To hear and listen and let all in

For God is speaking as day begins

One of those days

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 19:47:00 +0000

I closed my eyes this morning.."for just a minute or two"

And when I woke back up again.. I was wondering what to do

The minutes had turned into hours and I was running late

I didn't know if I was needing breakfast or maybe a dinner plate

The day continued to spiral because strewn across my floor

Was paper toweling all shredded like some casualty of war

I cleaned that up most quickly and then to my surprise

I found a pile of something where my sleeping body lies...

The kitties had made their statements about empty bowls at night

And I saw without hesitation that they had won a passive fight

It'll be food all day and night now...or I'll see some consequence

Like some paper toweling shredded or some surprises in my bed.

I am me

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Wed, 09 Dec 2020 19:14:00 +0000

Before I am, even, anything ..I am most authentically me

I'm not a Democrat, or a Republican or some ethnicity

I am a human being and I am living peaceably inside of God's Almighty care

Before you ever try to label me ..at least try to make it fair

Winter rain

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 13:13:00 +0000

Freezing rain is falling down

Landing on the trees and ground

See it sparkle...see it shine?

It is making sweetest rhyme..

Crystal carrier of God's grace

Watering every time .and.. place

Carrying secrets speaking not

God alone knows what it has brought

Shining up the lingering leave

Giving thirsty birds relief

Even in the coldest cold

Rain is precious .,liquid gold

Oh see in the stable

noreply@blogger.com (joy pachowicz) — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 12:23:00 +0000

repost

Oh see, in the stable, where poor animals stay..

Our Creator and Redeemer on a rough bed of hay..

A child, so helpless; but, what power is His

Our God has been pleased to appear such as this...

We see His dear mother, Maria, by name

Recalling the moments when Gabriel came..

How gently she lifts Him and whispers with love:

"My dear little child..Your Father's Above"

St Joseph's nearby and nods with consent

For He knows Mary's virginity had never been spent

Together, they lived under a virginal vow

Increasing the mystery before us right now

Poor, simple shepherds are first to adore

Before the Babe they prostrate: His blessings implore

Unlettered and unskilled in the rhetoric of Law

Their hearts were instructed by all that they saw

Finally, three wise men, from distant lands ..far

Approach the New King foretold by a star

Myrrh, Frankincense, Gold: gits that they bring

Are offerings befitting the presence of One Special King

The story goes on ..for we recall it..each year

But what message does it hold..for each of us here?

Humility ..simplicity..or is it one of love

For each it will vary ..as willed from above...
