Planting

How blessed is the farmer who
Participates in the birth
Of new life that praises God
Who sustains all life on earth

Soft Light

A teensy bit of dusty wax
The soft glow of intellect
Though small, darkness does respect
The wisdom that moves it through the facts


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Animals

The vulgar dog and the stray cat
Will still seek out a dirty rat
The one who lets the rat to flee
Is the bird, caged, not free

Going in Circles

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

All That

Creases in the folds of threaded notes
Cracks in the enamel of harmonies
Slides in the tracks of the seven seas
Scaling with velvet throats
A sailin' on paddle boats
Aloft on the angel's breeze
Weaving the threaded notes
Into the smoothest songs that please


God bless,

Running

John

A seed of truth, of hope, of ruin
A cut in heart and head
A steely voice while troubles brewin'
Talk in the river's bed
A man of joy, a dancing child
Greeting Holy Mother Mild
Preparing his cousin's bed


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Ringing

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Night Party

Silhouette of daisy chains
A roulette of gains and pains
Marionette of juggled rains
Lunar waxes, lunar wanes


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Throne

Such a dangerous Self
That distracts and bends
Attention away
Toward shallow trends
That thinks itself
Has enough weight
To make a god
And battle fate
Yet a peaceful self
Would choose the way
Of serving God
And kneeling to pray



God bless,

My Biggest Fan

Smelling Roses

A bad timing, or is it good?
To practice patience like I should
To pray for wisdom, meditate
On how lucky life is, running late



God bless,

Tree

The Flower Seeded

The flower seeded in the heart
Though withered, faded, and wilted
Receives by grace a new start
A new bud from verses the angels lilted


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Juggler's Tools

Campfire

Kindling and old news
A flick of a match
Friends and cheap booze
Kids playing catch
Camp lets you choose
The warmth of the muse
An outdoor batch


God bless,

Cages of Fine Thread

Cages of fine thread
Adorned by bone instead
Dents from the raving mad
Echoing a soul so sad
Nested amongst the dead
A cage is what he said


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Fresh

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Mine or God's?

The calm within a chaotic storm
The eye of sloth or eye of peace
That brings in liar's or truthful form
A chance to walk as if tis the norm
For the rain and wind to cease


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

He Said, She Said, Ssssnake Sssaid

Joshua Fahey

In the Depths of the Heart

A soothing smooth talker in the sanctuary
Deceptive and denying any doom
A rude ruse arouses the reckoning
Flowering in fear forcing fools from home


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Like a Log

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Best Friends

Companions you know are true
Against the world with you
Near and far yet near
Inching toward yonder blue
Near and far yet near
Enduring though old and new


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Naut Else To Do

Salts are heavy subtle movers
Winning against lighter foes
Ingrained in a medium of subs and cruisers
Masking the depths of sunken bows


God bless,

Exalt the Humble

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Dents, Dents everywhere

A dent in the wall, a dent in the moat
Yet the moat is fine, floating a boat
A dent in the hull, and not so the boat
Sinks under the line, and into the moat



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Infinite Memory

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Family

Thickest of thickest connections between
Bloodiest of blood that any has seen
In form of bread and wine set in meal
A bond bound tight, a solemn seal


God bless,
