The Worn-Out Road

Chase the turns of heroes’ might
Smite the day and burn the night
Praise those who lift the widow’s plight
On down the worn-out road

Fear mankind’s fallen seed
That at a touch will cause to bleed
And grow into a corrupted weed
Along the worn-out road

May the earth grant its sovereign gift
May suffering take hold and lift
May death be peacefully swift
At th’end of the worn-out road

Rock

Like a rock, firm and weathered stone

Peter stands as light for all the lost

The injured, ill, and all who groan

From the world's heartless frost

The rock its firmness far exceeding
Along with the spear tis ever reaching
Good news to love and live and tell
And never fall to the gates of hell

A sudden sound barks
Of wood and thrown baseball met

Secure Riddle

Shield the young from their terrors
Secure them by their grasp on me
Or to be a disguise for my bearers
Caping superheroes imaginatively
What am I?

Merchant Meddling

A merchant meddling with money all day
Throws the tears tainted task away
And strives to see the seven songs
Of virtue veiled by villainous wrongs

Rancid AIr

Red and black and darkened earth
Fire and blood reach deep rebirth
Finding water in desert bare
Purifies the caustic, rancid air

Pensive Riddle

I can start a pensive thought
Giving form after they ripen
I have a penchant for permanance
And am mightier than a bladed weapon
What am I?

Purple feathered gaze

Masks the eyes assured

That some quick and spoken praise

Will earn a cracker for the bird

Too Hot

I walk in watered heat
Water flowing down
My energy depletes
Like the water from my crown
Down it drips to my feet
The pavement they do pound

Trinity

Against the world do I stand
Called a villain throughout the land
But the world I do not condemn
I was sent to save it from sin

Sent by the eternal Lord
Father and speaker of the Word
Who teaches Truth to a world of lies
He sent me to preach, to die, to rise

And after my resurrection from death
I promise you the Holy Breath
A counselor and paraclete
So that we, once again, shall meet

You are blest, O mortal lands
By Father, Son, and Spirit’s hands

I am said when not true nor a lie
Binding my giver to deed
For if reality were to contradict I
My giver will never be freed

Flying and flew the birds at night
To the moon in dusk and starlight
Veering neither left nor right

Thunder sounds out the selfish me

Water cleanses this muddy child

Lifts me up, floating free

Drowns me in a peace run wild

Heat that Burns

Heat that burns nerves of pain
In the bones, I let escape
I let escape to keep me sane
And the flames around me drape

In the bones the light does dwell
Burns my marrow so I might tell
So I might tell the glorious name
Of the One who drapes me in flame

Not a spec of sin does stay
In hearts that burn with light of day
With light of day I learn to pray
For flames that burn my bones of clay

God bless,

Crickets are Chirping

Crickets are chirping
Blood suckers buzz in my ear

Moist are the heavens
Exuberant falling drops
I breathe and I sit

Threading my Riddle

Upbraiding evil,  braiding down to the grave
The crooked, my tassels, ending their life
Or my plaits can spin in the darkness to save
Weaving down cliffs, relieving strife
What am I?

Stars

Staring the abyss staring

To see reality uncaring

A stare not asking how tis faring

Ruining one's own bearing

Stare only broken by angels' blaring

Peppery Patter

Pity the peppery patter choosing chatter
Letting lies leap like lions in the hunt
Garrulous gossip is gross and gimp
Reaping rotted rules by a virtuous runt
