wonder

 I am the God who made the stars 

listen 

Do you wonder why the earth groans?

Why seas rage? 

Come back to me, and I will restore your land

Remember the days of old when seasons were ordered by time 

Much has happened 

Do you not believe I can do all things 

It is I who cause ocean currents and tides 

It is I who sustain all things 

I do not wish my creation to perish

For you are my beloved 

Yet you have spurned me  

And rejected my teaching 

Come back into fellowship with me, and I will restore land and sea and sky

Do you not know me, my child 

I am King and Lord and Saviour 

Become adopted into my family 

and watch as I restore and rebuild and regenerate

Decay will be put to an end 

Growth is the order of the day

I, the Lord, have spoken 

Amen

Kingdom Gardening

Repotted my bell pepper, the one in the round pot and brought both it and my jalapeño inside to overwinter.

The rest of the chilli plants I stripped back to stems and also brought inside to store till next year.

Keeping in water is only temporary; I will repot into small tubs and keep dormant till next year

Just recorded 432 hz flute, lyre and drum a simple ancient melody on the lyre and flute

 

Recorded today - lyre, drum & flute. Am 432Hz. Ancient, simple. Shepherd on the mountain. Album 'King David's Lyre' / 'A Shepherd's Lyre' - coming in 4 weeks. DNS © 2026.

Had to retune my lyre harp to Am 432 Hz. It kept going out of tune, as it was in a centrally heated room.

First of a 5-track album recorded today 

This was so cool when the internal light worked

Make melody in your heart to the Lord

 

thank you world

 

From Garden to Bowl — Why Homegrown Wins

 

Look at this board. Broccoli stalks, cauliflower leaves, fresh garlic — the bits the supermarket bins, but we turned into soup today.

No spray. No weedkiller. Just filtered water, steam, and 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt.

This is why I grow my own.

Homegrown & Organic:

✓ Picked minutes before cooking — vitamins still alive
✓ Zero waste — we eat the leaves, stalks, skins, everything God provided
✓ No chemical aftertaste — just clean, sweet flavour
✓ Soil stays alive — worms, bees, and healthy microbes thrive
✓ You know what’s NOT in it

Heavy Glyphosate Use:

That’s the stuff they spray to kill everything green so they don’t have to weed. Quick for big farms, but it leaves residues on the crop, in the soil, and in the water. It kills more than weeds — it knocks out the wildflowers bees need and the soil life that makes food nutritious in the first place.
I’ve pulled weeds by hand in my pots in Dewsbury. It’s slower, but my potatoes, tomatoes, radishes and greens have never needed a chemical shortcut.

My choice is simple:

If my grandmother wouldn't use it, neither shall I; I won’t spray it on my garden.

Today’s soups prove it: Garden Tomato, Spring Onion & Radish — skins slipped, seeds saved, blended fresh

Broccoli & Cauliflower Greens & Garlic — steamed 10 mins, blended with filtered water, finished with Greek yoghurt

Fresh. Clean. Blessed. 

Grow what you can, where you can. Even a pot on a windowsill is a start.

Kingdom Poetry volume 2: New Beginnings  

Dare to Believe — The Poetry of God's Promises

Alpha and Omega

 I am the God of your forefathers 

I was, I am, I shall come again

I was dead, but I am alive for evermore

I have always had good plans for you 

I am the Love that will not let you go

I created the seas and the stars 

It is I that hold them in place

I am Creator and Sustainer 

I am Justice

I am Fire

Let me clothe you in my Glory

Let me shine from within you 

I am the beginning and the ending 

You shall inherit from my abundance

Because you are my beloved

I shall pour out such a blessing in these days that there will not be room to contain it 

Let no man be in doubt 

I  am among you 

I shall clothe you 

I shall feed you 

I shall heal you 

Are you blind?

Are you deaf?

Are you lame?

Let those curses be lifted

Be in no doubt: I have overcome the enemy 

I bought back your dominion 

And now I offer it back freely

I hold the keys to death

I shall bless you 

Come to me, for my hand is open 

Take what I offer you 

Amen

111,009 Reads + Both Books Now in Paperback — My Kingdom Poetry Journey

111,009 reads on this blog. 1,472,154 across all platforms.

When I started Kingdom Poetry, I wasn't sure anyone would read a poetry blog from Dewsbury about faith, life, and struggle.

Today this blog alone has passed 111,009 reads.

My sister blog, Musical Artizan, is at 130,685 reads.

Combined blogs: 241,694 reads.

Combined with my music:

1,472,154 total plays, views and reads.

Breakdown for the record:

SoundCloud 674K + YouTube 401K + N1M 155K + Blogs 241K
And some personal news:

Both of my Kingdom Poetry books are now LIVE in paperback on Amazon.
Vol 1 and Vol 2 — after years of just this blog, you can now hold them. For those who asked for a physical copy for the bedside table, for church, for a gift — it's done.

I write as a pursuer of excellence. Not perfect. Pursuer. Every poem here has been lived first.
Yorkshire Prestige Awards Winner 2024 — that one meant a lot because it was home. ISSA Gold Active Member — because the songwriting community across the water has carried me.

What's next? More poems, more Psalms, more honest pieces. Vol. 3 is in draft

.

If you've read here, shared a poem, bought a book — thank you. You made 111,009 happen.

The blog will stay free — that's my ministry. The books are there for those who want to hold the poems, gift them, and support the writing to keep going.

If you've been blessed by the blog, consider grabbing the paperback as a thank you — it helps more than you know.

Here's to the next 100,000.

Saved?

 "For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved."

Romans 10 NLT

Have you hid your faith?

Have you told no one?

I tell you, if you shout it from the mountaintops  

Or whisper it in the shadows 

He will hear

and bless you

I tell you, life and death are in the tongue

Speak life, not death

Tell somebody now, in the light of day 

And surely He will respond with kindness

And you will be accepted and clothed with righteousness.

Sin and shame are done away with 

You need bear them no more 

Amen 

 

In between editing my book I'm busy modrocing my bird on a wire

I learnt a sculpture technique at a workshop I go to.

So, in between editing Kingdom Poetry books and the blog, you can find me either painting using water colour or recording flute music with one of my many Native American Flutes. Or doing housework, mopping floors, cooking dinner, baking bread or making kiwi crumble. Or using Sibelius to create brass trios or a full orchestral work.

Although I have a home studio.

I rarely use it these days; I used to use it every day, but now it's once a fortnight.

I have a collection of guitars and ukuleles

A plethora of artwork on my walls, in every room, including the bathroom

I bake bread 

Suffice it to say, I am a very busy man.

I also have a garden which I water every day.

I have just taken delivery of my shopping, 40% off, yippie.

So, just thought I would share my day with you, a behind-the-scenes look at my daily life.

Well, I need to get back to my modrocing; see you soon.

David Nicholas Slater.
