“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau
.
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

The dreary world becomes exhilarating Once an eagerness to know prevails. Imagination moves debilitating Non-essentials far. On golden sails
The soul may soar free from Fear’s embrace. Erratic and erotic fancies melt, Liquefy, then dry, and leave no trace. Love without the taint of lewdness felt
Impels towards a blissful, trance-like state, Glowing, warming, healing, energizing, Endlessly enjoying all that’s great, Novel, brilliant, filled with depth, realizing
Coarse temptations beastly and exotic Empty us, then lead toward the psychotic.

Every honest search for Truth demonstrates a deep longing to find and know God –– whether the searchers know it or not!

The dreary world becomes exhilarating
Once an eagerness to know prevails.
Imagination moves debilitating
Non-essentials far. On golden sails
The soul may soar free from Fear’s embrace.
Erratic and erotic fancies melt,
Liquefy, then dry, and leave no trace.
Love without the taint of lewdness felt
Impels towards a blissful, trance-like state,
Glowing, warming, healing, energizing,
Endlessly enjoying all that’s great,
Novel, brilliant, filled with depth, realizing
Coarse temptations beastly and exotic
Empty us, then lead toward the psychotic.
