From Your Lips

Do not forget the Truth from your lips
Do not let the enemy win
An unsteady heart flops and flips
Grace readies your heart within

That Hate Can Turn

That hate can turn to love
And burn apathy to ash
It would be a gift from above
Making a saint in a slow flash

Fall's Song

A cooler wind that smells so sweet
A sweetness unto rest
The slowing tempo of nature's beat
When apples are the best

As summer rains calm, their work at an end
The trees start to sleep
The flights of birds a message to send
Within our hearts we keep



God bless,

Help

Hurriedly the people ran
Escaping from the Dragon Clan
Lest they be part of some dark plan
Performed in Central Michigan

If I had a Master

If I had a master
And was skimming from his treasure
Because it was much faster
At giving me my pleasure
Then that master caught me
At cheating out his friends
What would be the wise thing
To gain me some good ends?

Or perhaps a God-Man
Has given me my life
And yet I sin in small plans
'Cause obeying would be strife
Wouldn't it be prudent
I dare it would be so
To forgive His servants
For insults and every blow


God bless,

Hurry Haiku

Blurring lights and shade
The beat of shoes within heart
Rabbits and watches

Binding a Book

Binding a book
Writing it down
Giving a look
Preventing a frown
Finding a life
Castling a rook
Playing a fife
Binding a book

Spirit of Hope

The spirit of hope
As it dances in the sun
Clears off illusion

Wildness

The wildness of the grass covered tracks
Against the pale order of desks and chairs
The fluffy clouds from which nothing lacks
Or the colorless odorless undramatic flairs?
Human or tool?

To learn the laws of music from Pan
To feel a grin, a gasp, and a frown
Or dull sleepiness of zombie land
Learning math's laws from Mr. Brown?
Fairyland or school?

The ancient books have their own joy
From which modern hacks look away
The magic of three, logic, girl, and boy
Of wars, mechanics, flavors, and play
The living will rule.

The clever cabal of demonic bored fools
Will do anything to stop us from learning
The magic of life which easily schools
Their joyless and hellish burning
Wise man or fool?

The wildness of breathing in wild air
Against the pale apathetic routine
Into the eternal humanity will stare
Or forever grinding in a soulless machine
Human or tool?



God bless,

Mary

Obedient Mary, O so sweet
Humble Mary, loving God
Sorrow would not be your defeat
From hearing Simeon's prophecy
Constantly praying, onward you plod
Sinless Mary, pray for me

Sound of quiet life
Connecting to the Presence
The soul pleads for peace

Every Murder Mystery I've Read

Committed a murder, what gall
A crime scene was laid before all
The plan was defective
Caught by the detective
A prisoner within prison walls

A Walk

A bibbling babbling creek
A creeping and crawling brook
Downwards the naiads seek
Upwards the naiads look
Searching all

A ristling rustling bush
A burrowing and bulbous root
Hear the dryads' hush
The sleepy dryads' lute
Growing tall



God bless,

Time

Every click and clack
Fatal meeting approaches
Time is marching on
