Ninety nine

sheep without a shepherd

I do not know the mama who has sung this song but it is just beautiful.

Ninety nine
You’d leave them all just to find
One who was lost, no matter the cost
Even I
Find safety in numbers sometimes
But you sought me out
Coz life is not about ninety nine

I think most of us love the safety of numbers. If everybody is doing it then it is ok. If everybody goes there, then I can also go there. Being different can be scary. Breaking away from the crowd more so. It is easier to conform, flow with the mass energy, instead of building up what I would call the escape velocity to be a free soul, defining your own dreams, determining your destiny.
I want to be the one to go after the one. (See the rhyme? Don’t mess yo!)

  2. Some little poem i came across today.

    When Love really arrives
    © By Norma Guihurt

    When True Love stays aside
    of any human ’s life…

    loneliness takes the place
    prolonging nights and days.

    When True Love is not near,
    what song you use to hear?

    what means time and space?
    which are the special days?

    When Love remains so far
    and you resemble tire,

    to whom you will require?
    where will be your desire?

    When True Love is abide
    with whom you can comply?

    Who will respond your call
    and hear you at all?

    When True Love stays inside
    the soul enjoys it’s truthfulness

    you hear His voice reply;
    your heart remains rely.

    When True Love overflows
    something makes your face glows;

    Love enjoys your free soul
    looking at the Great Goal.

    When True Love states His kingdom
    you recover the reason;

    you retrieve your lost smile;
    yours becomes a new life.

    When True Love really arrives
    never you will be abide;

    you will live in Victory
    since you are seeing His Glory.

  3. Beautiful poems, Stevens and Bresh. But dear blogger, I spelling mistakes on a blog make readers wonder what the heavens you think you are to get away with it.
    They just may give up on you. Watch out.
    Just fascinated by your pre-occupation with matters of love.
    Cheers.

  4. I quite agree, many may be out there, but one, only one may be of significance to you. May it be a person, a cow, a shilling, a book ..or whatever. Many of us however take ages to find that one!
