THE POWER OF PETITION

In the beginning, the couple was united
Flowing with no regard to decision
The fluid motion of word and deed
Created living without division

~then came the split~

When he laid eyes upon her beauty
A deep fire stirred within his soul
A yearning that compelled him to reach
And unite, but never again, be whole

~something different, yet familiar~

Enthralled with each others form
They explored and played with innocent wonder
Discovering preference and choice
Til assumption made a very rude blunder

~he leads, she follows~

Never before had direction and order
Been discussed between the unified two
The separation had brought to light
There is choice in everything you say and do

~personal responsibility~

He knew the order, she wanted choice
Feeling powerless without a say
He walked with the Creator
And she was supposed to follow His way

~no one asked~

The exploration of need is unnecessary
A walk in the park to play
Everything essential to living, provided
Given without a choice or intention to go a different way

~except THAT tree~

The lure of forbidden drew her near 
As want flamed anew in their heart
No reference of death had ever been
Nor creator and creation ever apart

~soooo, maybe, yes~

With difference present among same
And forbidden constantly there
The pull of promise and something new
Brought the united to share

~in lack~

She watched in horror as man gave an account
Blaming God for giving him a flawed creation
She ratted out the beguiling serpant
For daring to give her a desirable invitation

~to experience free will~

Humanity has come full circle
With 7,000 years to hear the woman's heart cry
It is rude to use power and position
To decide without an inclination to vie

~for passion~

Women united say, "Fight for me"
Value and worth are conveyed in a question
What would you like to happen
Let us be united in our flow's direction

~in love~

Note: I pray that you can see the power of petition. When we ask for what we desire, it is honoring and respectful to the person from whom we want to receive. Assumption is a marriage killer, and it takes many forms, the worst being emotional abuse. There are women who are in marriages where there is no desire to be known, just shown how to act, think, behave, believe, etc. YUCK!

THE CHOSEN ONE

Fear has a way of multiplying
Like the hidden abode of a cancer cell
So what would LOVE do
With the thwarted ones who fell

~into PRIDE~

The second heaven became their home
As they grew and gained glory
Certain they could conquer LOVE
With the rightly timed victorious story

~seeped in lies~

Crafty, cunning, hissing, having
Everything desire grabbed to take
Creating with inflamed imaginations
A burning, bubbling, lusty lake

~of fake finds~

 Man drowning in their own passions
Giving into destructive behaviors and words
No longer could the joy of creation
By viewed or clearly heard

....so twisted...gnarled....entwined


Before the foundation of earth was laid
The Chosen One was slain

...on a tree
    .....where fear spoke to free
         .............humanity from its CREATOR

No need to tell the story
LOVE wins ALL the glory

By laying on tree of choice
And paying the FULL price for difference to have a voice

...with Daddy God

Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-20-2018


Note: Most believers have some notion that Jesus made his sacrifice for SOME of His "special" children. He paid for every DIFFERENCE choice could make; otherwise, fear wins...meaning, some sins could prevent children from getting in to talk with Daddy God. Not possible. Daddy God loves ALL of His children :)

THE EXALTED ONE

The flood waters had drawn back
Land made its debut
The past gone and over
With nothing but hope in view

Hard work and labor ahead
Building and creating...what
Grown minds can't forget experience
No matter how one sought

...to begin again

After a time of planting and pruning
Harvest came in fullness of glory
Lending God's blessing
To the legendary story

Funny how a flood can wash away life
But not bring one to self control
The father "god" released himself
To the lusts of his consuming soul

...in celebration of humanity

What did Cush know before
That seeped under the skin to once again
Reveal the nakedness of humanity
And the sepulcher of sin

Had LOVE been present with Noah
His response could not have been a curse
Forgiveness and compassion
Would have covered even the worst

....desires


He walked away with a fear of self
And exalted himself in fear and shame
He would never need that presence again
When he forged a powerful, worship base...of a name

He would create a world of debauchary
Where twisted passions are indulged
Men and women could experiment
And the nakedness of man bulged

...in plain sight

Kingdoms came and went throughout the ages
Merging and assimilating with one
Osiris and Isis, pagan gods
Yet "freedom" displays their symbols under GOD and GUN

All of civilization has been touched by failure
To respond appropriately to fear
Written history slants truth to serve agendas
With peanuts and beer

...with a wink of the eye

The system hides at the height of education
The breaking down of a flowing mind
Add a little "god" to the knowledge
And one can operate outside of the confines of time

Raising humanity above the sludge of soul
Into the heavenlies of  a magical god
Using the terrors and horrors of the past
To make a paved road, much easier to trod

...to the ALL SEEING EYE

Education under the guise of religion
Is the perfect place to hide humanity's fear
We wonder if there is a difference, choice can make
That will bring down an all-consuming fire to sear

Man's conscience to perfection, the sainted election
Of those who will go into the next world, without sin
How can GOD deliver humanity, anew
Without ONE failing again...and again

...nothing new under the sun

THE HIDDEN ONE

Born, alone and rejected
In a place of poverty and want
She was nothing to look at
Pallor, puny and gaunt

Whatever sickness was within
Experience made it worse
She was Wednesday's child
Born under a curse

The suffering of her youth
Left her sarcastic and crude
But a wonderful sense of humor
Covered her nude

~appearance~

When did the miracles begin
Transformation always a part
She could never stay fixed
With LOVE leading her heart

Angry and disgusted with living
She cried out to die, in vain
Since death never came to her
She believed suffering was her name

All of her efforts focused on self
Trying to be a success
No matter how much she tried
A visible stain was on her dress

One day, LOVE delivered her
And took her into the deep silence
Where sound could test
The soul's alliance

~LOVE~

Tested in every way, this way and that
Who is your GOD, life demanded
When you are judged
To whom will you be remanded

She retreated into her wooden closet
Full of memories and meaning
She began lifting them up to the light
To see where her heart had been leaning

~self...SORROW...suffering~

As LOVE lifted her up, and she saw
Light flowing in fullness of color
Rhythm and vibration
Began to reveal...her mother

"My mother is RESTORATION", she exclaimed
As she yielded to her touch of calming comfort
Like aloe vera removing the heat
Where living had left the skin sunburnt

Focus changed from self, to giving out
All the blessing being poured in
Others saw her as wasted and ruined
Where her self-serving idol had once been

Names, positions, fame, and riches
Passed by without a wayward glance
She had vision and purpose
Without a hope to advance

~in the system~

In her bed, while others slept
She left her body to rest
Running with LOVE into dark places
Where fear rushed to invest

Fighting in unison with her LOVE
To win the war against the perception of lack
Love guided her in every step
To claim territory fear had to give back

The war was won before the creation of time
Fear is gone, and LOVE is divine

When lightening strikes
And the tree falls in the yard
The hidden one will leave
Be on your guard

Guard your heart above all things
Let not religious sayings pass through your mouth
Be LOVE in word and in deed
A servant to all is what life is about

The war is won; be of good courage

THE UNOPENED GIFT

He walked upon her in the woods
Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin
He didn't question where she was going
But knew where she had been

~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~

He cleaned her carefully
Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief
He dressed her in royal gowns
Daily changing her value and belief

~desired, delightful, distinct~

When she was grown and ready for love
He gave her a precious stones to wear
Her adornment was a testament
To LOVE's extravagant concern and care

~powerful transformation~

She began to walk among the people
Whispered gashes flew through the air
Words tore her garments
And left her naked to the judgmental stares

~unworthy, undeserving, undone~

He watched from His window
And saw HIS LOVE packaged in an unopened box
Sworn off as a harlot with no lineage
They began to pick up rocks

~thrown away, thwarted, taken down....

       down, down, to the very ground

                she came up from

What can LOVE do now
When siblings break their own
Rejection is endurable
But family fault finding leaves the redeemed, in the silent alone

                of the abyss

                      what courage can bring

                               LOVE out of this

She walked away, into the great unknown
With the garment of humility around her waist
Her head bowed low, and gait amiss
With all she'd encountered and faced

~with LOVE~

Seasons passed as she drudged through the days
Looking for LOVE to find her again
She had come to the line of despair
And almost gave in to the lies she discovered there

~abandoned, average,aloof~

LOVE showed up and caught her next breath
Giving back what she believed to be gone
He said, "You are the UNOPENED GIFT
My LOVE  has chosen to ride upon

~given, golden, glad~

Rejoicing in the moment, HE took her away
To a City made of gold and jewels
A place where difference is accepted
And creativity with LOVE, rules

Written by Trudy Schrader on 04-16-2018

Note: So many gifts Daddy God gives us, that remain unopened, because we fail to value LOVE.

UNBIBLICAL CHORD

Harsh, dry words
Line the barren land
No one comes near
To understand

~just judge~

Phrases and chorded connection
Lie beneath the surface, gathering infection

Bees and bugs are gone
Nothing living to attract
Whatever nectar they took
They ain't coming back

~sucking succubus~

Flying fortresses trying to snag a home
Leaving the victim to go it alone

Hard to believe life existed
Before the storm wiped her clean
Not one of those actions or words
Were intended to mean

~barbaric breathing~

What can be birthed without a placenta
A babbling baby with a continuous agenda

Never try to speak a truth
About the condition of her mind
She refuses to see the unbiblical chord
That is choking out her fantastical find

~magical menagerie~

Just waiting for freedom and fun to appear
Without the responsibility for leaving fear

SECRET SILENCE

I see you sitting there with her
Acting the part you've been assigned
A nice little kingdom you've built
With the acceptable "values" you've designed

Something is awry, doesn't match
You're so handsome, she's average, at best
Like a decent treasure box
Just enough for what you're willing to invest

There you sit, alone, with him
What is that running between your eyes
Sparks of interest...a secret
Both of you must carefully devise

He's fighting back tears
Begging you to come along, decide
Your little kingdom, in exchange
For a beautiful, bumpy ride

It's over, just like that
The moment is gone and you fully know
Your heart is divided
Between the one you love and life of lies your committed to grow

Love always requires a sacrifce
You must speak in a very clear voice
"I want love no matter how it comes"
It's obvious....secret silence is your self-serving choice

Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-04-2018

Note: So many claim love, but the only one they love is the secret, and even then, only as long as it serves self. Love requires complete investment and everything else is valueless in its presence.

LET IT BE...WITHOUT MEANING

I passed a house in a darkened space
A number flew before my face
I saw an elephant on a car
A man with an "L" shaped scar

I found a baby lying upside down
Bugs and spiders eating together on the ground
A plane bounced on barn roof
A horse limped with a wagon attached to its hoof

...I'm weird

Voices are shrill and thick in my ear
A presence of evil is drawing near
A little girl is skipping rope on the lawn
A bear growled loudly, then was gone

A Ferris wheel rolls round and round
A kitten in a pool is trying not to drown
The highway of silver lines the barren land
A crowd watches the marching band

...I'm not relevant

Emerald green uniforms hug the armed soldiers
Blood red balloons celebrate the drinkers of Folgers
Baby blue shoes enfold the new tiny feet
Pink poppies line the banks of the creek

Fifty four houses all in a row
Ninety eight graves create a flow
Sixteen schools of thought on life
One hundred and one ideals of combating strife

...How shall I mean???

Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-02-2018

Note: What is life without meaning? What would happen if we allowed circumstances, places, people, events to be what they are, where they are without assigning "meaning?" I believe we would experience life anew, fresh, every moment of every day, and that kind of life is worth living :) 

UNIVERSAL LAWS

There are 10 Universal Laws that were in existence before the foundations of Earth were laid. Here they are:

1. Empty to Full
2. Trust to Revelation
3. Wet to Dry
4. Condensation to Evaporation
5. Dark to Light
6. Giving and Receiving
7. Root to Fruit
8. Sowing to Reaping
9. Pouring in and Offering up
10. Death to Resurrection

     Can you see the system...all good gifts come down from Our Daddy God, and we simply offer them back up? Can you also see that Jesus is the embodiment of Universal Laws. God's system is a circle without end or beginning. God never violates these laws. The Gospel is based on the #1 Law...we must first experience Empty in order to be Full. We can't sense true hunger for Truth until we are done with lies. We can't enjoy the goodness of taste until we are empty of the things that pose as sustenance...like sugar. This life is about changing the Direction and Order of how we flow. We either get caught up in a tornado of lies and fear which has the water we need, but it's mixed with junk we gather to self in this journey of life, or we are anchored in humanity's true North (LOVE) and flow in the order of serving others without expectation of reciprocation. This works! I'm living it, and love opportunities come daily, moment by moment, and it is so much fun loving those who need to be touched by love through intimate connection. Intimate connection simply means seeing others in their fear and responding with acceptance and embrace. It says, "You are loveable and accepted just as you are." God can deal with anything that is in opposition to love...we are not called to be the ONLY TRUE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. That position is already taken and not shared by our creator. Our only job is to feed his sheep...who are His sheep? Why those who follow LOVE :)

KEEPIN' MY ROSE

Searchin' for proof of beauty
A treasure hunter found a rose
He plucked it from the snow
And brought it to his nose

He took it home quickly
And placed it in a vase
Added water and nutrients
Then displayed it in a ornate case

He cared for it daily
Adding this and that to preserve and protect
But time decays even the best
Though he never entertained neglect

Others pointed out the crunch
And the fall of the petals to the base
But the man was determined
To keep the rose in its rightful place

"It's dead and gone", they'd say
"Just take it out and buy another"
An object can be replaced
But meaning has a mother

Attached to belief and thought
Nothing can truly be free
Unless it is released by love
To be what it wants to be

Note: I hate it when you have grown into a new person in the way you think, feel, and relate to people but the "old ones" refuse to KNOW you any other way than how they thought they knew you in the past :(
