Dark into love

I was in the dark and you baited me
Grief had filled my heart and I could not see
I lashed to the left and right and below and above
What I needed was your love

And as I fell into the deeper than black
The only thing holding me up were the emotions I lack
A response to the bait from your ubiquitous shove
Of your mysterious love

If your goal was to annoy the hell out of all
You tried your best with me, I just wouldn't play ball
But then despite the emptiness, your peaceful dove
Brought me above to your love



God bless,

Happy Chinese New Year!


I know, I know it was last Monday. I also know I'm not Chinese. I am, however, a fan of dragons.

Conversion of St. Paul

This is Jesus, believe it
throw down your sword and leave it.
I throw you to the ground,
make a sound, make a sound
and call me. Follow me,
get down and die and be me.
I hear you've been around,
that's why you're on the ground. And we sing:

CHORUS
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.

I saw you,
I called you,
the blood of man now screams
it streams,
from your blade and your hate and your fear,
that's why the blind don't see, just so we are all clear.
And Stephen was leavin' and I heard his prayer,
no despair, no despair, no despair, no despair,
and in darkness I leave you in his care. with this song:

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.

As I walked and I talked, so now you will as well.
To the jews and the gents your heart with love will swell,
cause you've hurt me you'll be in pain
that's your shame
and your boasting pride
that you will never hide.
Your heart will now love all,
brother Paul, brother Paul and you will sing to all.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Pour into my heart your bread unleavened
Make me never the same.








This was fun, if I could rap or write music I might record it through garageband. Then I'd hear my voice and not ever publish it.

Young David

Reading today's psalm made me think of the image of a young kid wearing a crown lopsided.
As it is I like how it turned out except for the hands, oh the nightmares that will produce....

Then stubborn childish whale bait
Fourth day to repent

Nobody guessed correctly, mainly because nobody guessed. Either my readers are apathetic or my riddling skills are unbelievable (unbelievably bad or good, I'm unable to ascertain).

Anyways...

Riddled poem

So I did a set of haikus about games here. Perhaps not explained, but they were of video games, and in case you didn't want to guess -
    first haiku is Angry Birds;
    second haiku is Monkey Island;
    third haiku is Tetris.


In the same spirit I thought I'd do a riddle, answer will be given in Friday's post. Post comments with your guesses.



Curiously packed traveling through heather
Thought to be alone but unexpectedly together
Amber globes float around the park
Like the sun they fight the dark
Neverending roads beneath moonlight pale
Sky deep thoughts, an inquisitive tail
Inquiries into whether friend or whether foe
Reveal dilemma of hunter or companion to know
Nocturnal minds seek truth, through dark they claw
Dismissing clouds and mist and the raven's caw
Enough clues have been said to thee
Look through the words, can thou see?


God bless,

Grace

On the way to the watery slope
With snow that fell throughout time
The despair in my heart was burdened by hope
The dead muscle began to shine

The energy, the pain, that swallowed
The withering willows of dreams
That restored, enervated the hallowed
And healed my torn and my ragged seams

It happened quietly, without notice
Not even by the one become whole
Save for the serenity of the lotus
Floating on the pond of the soul



God bless,

Video games?

From poached eggs harvest
Fury settles like missiles
Your bacon toasted

The brush of a guy
Who wishes pirate-hood now
Would isle monkeys threep?

Babelling music
The walls grow higher then sink
Eternal struggle

Are these really video games?
Answers in the post here.

God bless,

Creation

Once God created the world
With fish that swam and birds that twirled
Then humans sinned
And goodness thinned
And the serpent who tempted was curled

Then God descended to man
With a terribly awesome plan
God died on the cross
The world felt the loss
On the third day He rose again


God bless,

Face of Christ


Darker tone skin with blue eyes... I wonder what I was thinking? Maybe that I like blue eyes...
