(23rd Psalms / Ps. 84: 11 / Prov. 14: 30 / Phil. 4: 6-9 / Eph. 6: 10-18 )
THE PALACE OF IMPERVIOUS
In The Palace of Impervious
Is An Imperial Power & High Purpose
The Bulwark Is Immune & Immense
and It Hosts As An Emperor's & Prince's Residence
There Are Rooms of Strength, So Solarium Spacious
... We Preen Like Peacocks, Stately & Gracious
In A Simple Serenity, So Sagacious
Among Pagoda Gardens (Themselves) Palatious
In The Palace of Impervious
There Are No Belief-Boundaries Ambiguous
Never Taken In Terror Nor By The Treacherous
They Cannot Enter These Grounds Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
Peace Is Very, Very Serious
There Is No Anxiety or Feeling Nervous
and No Hateful Thing Ever Hurries Us
In The Palace of Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
There Are No Dark Forces of Fanatics-Furious
No Desperate Ideas Nor Delirious
Nor Efforts Aimed At Being Injurious
Nor Damned For All Time, Nor The Devious
No Enemies Allowed, Nor The Envious
Nor Persistent Pain, Panic or Perilous
Can Attempt The Gates of Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
Triumph - Has Taken Over Every Terminus
Attempts To Irk It Are Like Harlequins-Hilarious
"Ha-Ha!", Says The Honed-Skills of Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
A Mental Ninja Sends Forth Meritorious
'Truth' Handled Like The Sword of Spartacus
and Slays Hateful Lies That Fought Against Us
and Even Hurls Out Attitudes Spurious
From The Palace of Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
There Is No Place For The Cold & Discourteous
There Are Only Rooms For Ettiquette & Judicious
and There's No Protocol For The Pompous-Pretentious
In The Palace of Impervious
Our Conscience, Cleansed - Will Carry Us
We Are Borne Along In Lovely Litters
By A Wind & Love's Lightning Emitters
Yes, The Palace of Impervious
Is Instinctive & Intuitous
With A Patrol & Perimeter That Can't Be Breached
& A Force Stronger Than Any Fortress, Castle or Keep
In The Palace of Impervious
It Can Weather Every Degree of Celsius
Prepared Against Any Winter's Hard Heart
Inside ... Our Summer Palace Safeguards
In The Palace of Impervious
There Are No Designs Impetuous
There Are No Bridges To Ominous
Nor Ignoring of The Obvious
Nor Excusing of The Oblivious
Nor Any Latches For Lascivious
And In The Palace of Impervious
There Are Strong Bans On Spans of Scurrilous
There Are No Rooms of Cold Condescension
Nor Commissioned Portraits of Contention
Just Modest & Humble, Suite Editions
and Many Hospitable, Helping Hands Extensions
In The Palace of Impervious
Are Such Quiet Secluded Areas
Where Mandolins, Ruans, Cellos, Zithers, Sitars
Harps, Violins, Shamisens & Guitars
Keep Strumming The Mind Melodious
In The Palace of Impervious
The Palace of Impervious
Is An Entire Empire, Each In Us
With Edicts & Orders of Self-Control
Against Invaders - It Is A Stronghold !
... By Borders, A Ruler's Way Commenced
By A Crown of Careful - Confidence
In A Noble Bearing & Regal Stance
Under Sovereign of The Palace - Spirit-Substance
For Our Own Full Sense of Contentment
and Sweet Joy In Bird-Song Sentiments
and Worthy Work Accomplishments
In A Court of Compassion & Good Intents
... and Patience & Emotions Intimate
Where Only The Scope of True Love's Embrace
Can Trace That Path Thru That Sacred Space
In A Maze Where Discoveries Are Various
... In The Palace of Impervious
In The Palace of Impervious
Strolls The Innocently - Curious
Meditating On Life & What It Means
In Silken-Skeins of Sun-Motes & Dreams
Where Pandas - Beneath Cherry Blossoms
Chew On Ripe Eucalyptus Options ...
and Reeds & Rods By The Lake
... Where Lay The Notched-Notions, The Pandas Ate
... and Storks Wading In Cool Pools of Thoughts
As Whooping Cranes' - Composed Landing Was Sought
In The Pavilion - Comparing Bamboo Stalks
In Front of The Emperor's Lacquered-Jade Vaults
Rich In Dignity & Legacy - Worthy & Wrought
In The Core of Character - That Was Taught
Priceless Treasures - Artifacts That Can't Be Bought
As Palace Guards & Tigers - Makes Thieves Halt !
In The Palace of Impervious
Silver Moonbeams - Enters In The Dusk
Or When Morning Stars & Misty Dawns
Brings Evening Breeze & Nightingale Songs
... Such Empowering Anthems & Arias
Arose In The Palace of Impervious ...
... Memories Floating On Lotus Ponds
As Family & Friends Float On Lily-Fronds
Yes, Close Family & Friends Are A Samurai Wall
That Has Taken Bombardment & Did Not Fall
For Hope & Honor - Encourage Us
In The Palace of Impervious
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
So Let Outside Parade & Posture Like A Pretend Circus
For Here Inside, Is The Palace of Impervious
and Over Its Sky - Is Almighty GOD
As Clouds (or) Crowds Part - At HIS Sunburst-Nod !
Over This Palace of Impervious
Impenetrable & Virtuous
O' May My Stay Ever Be Gregarious
In Blessed Palace of Impervious

Impervious ... Is Such A Strong, Stalwart and Triumphant Word ... It bespeaks of an inner-strength, that is like a fortress standing against outside forces - yet, it doesn't mean to be callous or narcistically-selfish ... (for one can be immune & still reach out & touch) Anyways, some days, I feel 'impervious' ... and this poem attempts to explain this gift, of a feeling of shielded strength from my GOD ...
