Sour Feelings Haiku

Sour feelings fall
In anxious melancholy
Lost sheep, O lost sheep

Silver Riddle

Observe life’s play from that great window
Silver lined where a starlet sung
Where the golden man stands to and fro
Salty taste and buttered tongue

Amazing Tree

                                          Amazing tree
                                    Water runs up freely
                            That is a home to bird and bee
                 A wooden fortress, inspires awe in all who see
                          Full of fruit and leaves, given free
                                Speaks with the airy sea
                                          Living slowly
                                          For eternity
                                          Grow firmly
                                          And humbly
                                          Shading we
                                          Praising thee
                                         Amazing tree

It Is Quite Hard For Me

It is quite hard for me
To believe, O my Deity,
That a creature as low as I
Could be loved by the Most High

But still it is my lowly creed
That you, my God, do take heed
Of all creatures short and tall
And all creation, you love it all

And that you died as fully man
For every person in every land
Fully God, you died from our sin
To cleanse us creatures, without, within

From king to shepherd, fox and bird
Homeless, housed, you’ve kept your word


God bless,

Dreams of Bells

Silent dreams of bells
Patterns blasted through my mind
Muses musing light

Angels sing of hope
Beauty arrives and paints life
Poetry of God

An Ordinary Riddle

My song the fife does start
Life and death; eternal breath
Reign of light, wood fortress blight
Your ire is where we part

Sound

Clashing tone
As of tin
Cracking bone
Where we’ve been
Relentless noise
From the devil’s toys

Light’s pure song
Divine silver
Guiding us along
Music giver
All the angel’s joys
Air of poise



God bless,

Cerulean Flows

Cerulean flows under cerulean skies
A man who calls like a horn
Pouring water on those to be baptized
Who repent and who are reborn

Woods haiku

Crisp, crunch, and moist step
Spirits abound midst the wood
No animals seen

Step, crunch, stomp with crisp
Walking along fresh snowed trail
Monochromatic

Ordinary

Falling crystals upon the blades
Forest fortresses unkempt
Clean silhouettes in winter shades
While all the creatures slept

An ordinary wonderland
With dryads and the Fae of ice
A battle sans time’s waning sand
An ordinary eternal slice



God bless,

Waters

Waters rust these chains of sin
Waters cleanse our souls within
Waters of the Spirit bless
And fill our lives with holiness

Living fire burn through my strife
Living fire that gives us life
Living fire, Spirit, bless
And fill our lives with holiness

Flowing down from God our Father
Flowing through His Son our brother
Flowing of the Spirit, bless
And fill our lives with holiness



God bless,

Happy Birthday!

Inaudible crack
Flickering symbol of years
And warmth of loved ones

Acrid billowing
Cutting service of sweetness
Sharing in one’s life

Seeking Til The End of Days

Travelers wandering from afar
Seeking truth and singing praise
Travelers following a star
Seeking til the end of days

All the men who are in the dark
Seeking truth and singing praise
Will find the light, that divine spark
Seeking til the end of days

Pagan men and holy Jews
Seeking truth and singing praise
God does send and God does choose
Seeking til the end of days



God bless,

Nightmare

My grip tightens on the hard stick of wax
Which softens a bit from my heated blood
The light from the wick does not help me relax
Nor does the freezing and knee-deep mud

The darkness flows from the new moon
And though all that I hear is whistling wind
My heart beats fast for I know that soon
The time will come for me who has sinned

Cerberus’s howls pierce my soul with fear
My flickering candle goes out in the mud
Tepid breath and warm mist breathe at my rear
With a growling laugh that hungers for blood

My eyes closed, my last breath deeply drawn in
Then Christmas bells! My alarm saved me again.



God bless,

Pursuit of Love

For those in pursuit of Love
Distance is expected
From climbing the mountain above
To having a star detected
And crossing a thousand miles
Spending years away from home
For the love of an infant’s smiles
For eternity, wise men will roam
Their zeal shall not grow cold
Their diligence of legend
Frankincense and myrrh and gold,
Gifts of the heart they rend
The wise forever brave the wild
In pursuit of Love, of the Christ Child



God bless,

Mother of the Son

Mother of the Lord
Who saves me
Who lets me see
That within He is moored

Mother of our God
Taught Him to laugh
Who corrects my gaffe
With his staff and rod



God bless,
