  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

First Words, a pome.

The Purest Sunshine lies here.

In a race for price
I fell,
pursued.
No sound of Ziggy
followed me in comforting.
Sunshine seemed cheap consolation
as i looked
into those deep eyes
and knew
what they knew of me,
never guessing
what I knew
of them

Sunshine
drifts thru' my window
and freezes
before it reaches my bed
my own ideas
cocoon themselves
within the containment
of these thoughts

some sweet smell
drifts on the air
and then dies
in the stench of yesteryear

fascinating themes
these,
and then,
to the beat,
the new rythym,
slows
and dies
in its own heat,
heat,
that is the depth of empires
and the music
is the medium
of unborn ideas

how can it be still-born
and still-not-die?

The strength of sunshine
ran on in his veins
as though the answer
were nigh
even
in the night
and
yet
the silence
freezes his ears
as though
he did-not-want-to-hear

......

the sun yet shines
on the few
an' searches their snow

an' even i
see their living death
will
even
you
sit there in judgement?

and there are no words for your
emptiness,

can there be
such a decision?

could just one man
make such a decision?

can he have his right?
in order to save
a merness,
beyond that mere pretence
at life,
sans sense,
sans a sensation,
merely
feel
for-a-change?
will you measure the size of vanity - so carefully?

Frenzy, what is your price?
too much to say?
Sun, who would measure you?

break,break,break.

Who would shine alongside?
even challenge you?

-to merely sit
there
and accept it?

Some Master-of-soul gave an answer,
did u ever doubt his word?
was this even an answer
until you doubted it!

and was there
any right
that you should do this?

certainly the right did not outlive you!

And sunshine was your silhouette

In myself
is the love of sunshine
My own sunshine
lives in a place
'not far'
from desire.

Yes , these are the free words
that came to me in understanding
my depression,
my separation
from love [sunshine],
It was the acknowledgement
through these dark trials of thought,
that love cannot be thought of as wrong at all,
that it is the only absolute of life
[whereas every other experience is relative]
that led me
to recognise the love in Yeshua's life
[as witnessed in the Bible]
is the truth of the absolute
and so worthy of our complete commitment
in worship and sacrifice of our lives
love is what we know first of God
and leads us to faith that we can absolutely believe in
[we cannot absolutely believe words of creeds, that is just
wishful kidding of ourselves...because words are relative
and we need absolute faith on the Rock of love,
....words are like sands, they drift with time
and people fashion them into strange shapes
that the tide of time will wash away....
Yes ,I would say this 'pome' [corruption of pomme and poem] expresses some of the tortuous
way I came through
to come to
irreversibly acknowledge my God
It means a lot to me to reflect on that darkness
before the light,
it is a sort of praise to Him
that He brought me through it
even
[or maybe because]
I gave up on myself finding the answer
to life.
love really is the absolute answer
the ONLY way to live
despite anything
that the world has to tell us otherwise
thus we find Yeshua first through love
and God through Yeshua
and understand the promise through
the witnes of the bible
and so ask our God for the truth
and our judgement
through the spirit of truth
which leads us steadly
into all truth
even the deep unutterable unwriteable
things of God
