Lord Jesus Christ,
I pray unto thee
that you open my eyes
so that I may see
the righteous path
thou has set for me.
Heal my heart
and mend my soul.
Help me to play
my servant role.
Lord Jesus Christ,
let me feel
thy precious, holy spirit
from head to heel.
Lead me through the paths
of which I may go.
Please, Lord, you lead the way
so that I [...]

At 16 young Eben designed a device which would rapidly miniaturize
The boy and then teleport him to the place of his choosing at much reduced size.
He used it at random, and found himself suddenly out in a lady’s backyard.
The 21 year old housewife soon detected his presence; and his way was barred.
She captured the boy, [...]

(1)Young Tom visited his great aunt, until he was ten years old,
And soon after his next birthday, her old mansion would be sold,
Since she died, and he would miss them both, as nine years changed the date.
He completed school, did two years work, and started college late.
(2)At the end of his first Uni year, he [...]

Well I’ve never bought a garage, but my searching never fails
To provide me with some novelties, at all those garage sales;
And I don’t think I’d be interested to own a pachyderm;
But White Elephant retailing’s how to end a school’s third term.
I’ve a china cabinet (from a second hand store) filled with wares:
China animals in jungle [...]

(1)My first Blue Mountains journeys were on Sydney’s country trains,
With scenery improving, once I’d gone past Emu Plains.
I did not know the passengers around me, but perhaps one
Might care to play a card game, since we’d only come to Lapstone
(2)I closed my vintage fiction novel fast. So I could then look,
To see surrounding bushland, as [...]

Is she waiting in the snowfall of an unseen distant plateau,
That still lives today on Christmas cards all packed up now? Is that so?
Would the lamps that light the pathways put a glow upon her face?
Are these images of fantasies all gone without a trace?
Is she staring from the window of a house, with fascination,
And [...]

He stood on the edge of a suburb, where house windows faced an expanse
Of bushes and forest and small hills; and readied himself, with a chance.
He stood on the edge of a sunset, with houses not far from his rocks,
And somehow the sunset was lengthened, slowed up through a trick of the clocks.
He harnessed the [...]

I was well prepared to build my house on firm foundation rock.
I had gathered each material and every building block.
I’d seen many things, that life could be whilst imitating art.
I could cull the very best of these in each component part.
I’d explored all possibilities, and worked out all the rules,
As I stood beside the ocean, [...]

We are told
Earth is eons old.
But
The world
As we know it is
Just about through.
Fossil fuels
Are doing it in
Earths atmosphere
Is growing thin.
Smog and green house gasses
are the reason why
However, cures are rather shy.
Temperatures on the rise
Antarcticas glaciers
On the demise.
Polar bears
Disappearing fast
Without ice
They cannot last.
The question asked
What to do
Without world’s intervention
There is no clue
- Tom Fenning
