Night

A great night for praise
Asleep without haze
Awake in God's sight
On this blessed night

Barbecue Haiku

In sharing a meal
Strangers become family
Love, joy, peace, and comfort

Guidance

Guide me to respond with grace
With love to your holy face
Guide my hands and my feet
To do your will in this place

What's Under the Sink?

Purpose

A needle never hammers
A hammer never pierces
A bone shouldn't bend
A muscle shouldn't stiff
May I always praise God
The way He designed


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Orb of Sensible Depth

Tension at a minimum
Round about here
Clarity and purity
Mystic cleansing sphere
Through its heart a glint of light
Sad or happy tear


God bless,
>P<

Bridge Goes Up

Acedia

Red clouds turning pink
Heart beating higher
Sun setting, I think
Upon an old fire
And here, far away
My mind nowhere near
The peace of that day
The cloud doesn't clear
My scream cannot rise
Above the haze of a dream
The ruins of lies
Ambient supreme
My heart collects dust
Becoming a toy?
In grace I must trust
To remain a real boy



God bless,
>P<

The Better Part

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Fear of Grace

My hearts fears the eyes that see
Fears to see the face that looks
Turns from the mouth that speaks
Covers its ears from the words spoken
In shame
Yet
By grace I do not turn away
Facing the fear of scolding
And I see a sad smile
And hear words of mercy
And feel His embrace


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Nice Ice

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Reluctant Repentant

Lost in the darkness
Led astray by false promise
Ashamed in the light


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Not of the World

Gears of fate crush
Without hesitation or rush
Grinding souls to mush
Without a face

Dice of luck land
Without any guiding hand
Desolating souls of the land
Without a trace

A man embraces the Cross
Takes on the whole world's loss
Gives His Grace



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Shock

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Sweet Sorrow

In parting from a sweet time
When life was in perfect rhyme
A bitter melancholy comes away
The loss of balance and light
Setting up a midday night
And memory is broken in the fray


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Good Wrapping

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Dark Times

I cannot stand the smallest lull
The tiniest silence of your presence
I would go mad from any wall
That veiled me from your essence

God bless,

Beach

Twinkle

A twinkle has the power to move the earth
A twinkle of a star, a twinkle in the eye
Changing the vision of what I'm worth
From humble heart's low to intimate high




God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Shall We Dance?

Swung the lash
Lash the word
Word the friend
Befriend the swing




God bless,

Being Tracked

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Anxiety

Inconvenient movement in uncertain space
Temporarily pacified by a friendly face
Best path of enjoyment is past a comforting wall
Through a needle's eye, God grant I do not fall


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Sandals

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Probability

Uncertain of the future
Unless it is in order
But certainty of order
Born only under faith
Given only under grace
Graced by order given


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Noise

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Booms

Badge of independence
Overconfidence in Man
Odd reliance on weakness
Missing grace within the Plan
Stole an apple then ran


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy, I hate thee
I despise thy abode
Making ruins of a mystery
Having hearts corrode
Dwelling on powerful thrones
Dwelling in my weakened bones


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Buckle Under

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

A Glance

Waste of things precious, of energy, and time
Turning aways one's eyes, one's heart, and one's mind
Willfully self-centered, willfully becoming blind
One glance at the cross puts life back into rhyme

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey
