Hesitation. Lost. Fortitude.

A thousand pins
Nervous needs
From many sins
A fear feeds
Within the pain
An answer hides
Down a lonely lane
Under rising tides
Need to take a step
Walk out the door
No more prep
No more


God bless,

Stargazing

Glowing beetles
Electric needles
Fiery orbs
Moonlit swards

Freed Will

Freedom from the virtues of my parents
From the vices of my ancestors
For in water I have died, been reborn
In blood I am redeemed and renewed
Led through suffering into grace
Only of my own faults I may be condemned
Only of my own righteousness I may be praised
Glory to the One who freed me
Glory to the Man on the tree
May His Grace guide me to Life
That I may be saved



God bless,

Birth

Unknown and understood
By water, over wood
Under fire, within tin
Reveals the stain of sin
The stars will sing and dance
The trees have their romance
The stones will leap in glee
Water makes us free


God bless,

Coffee

Dusted senses
Frothing
Mud
Clearly articulated maddening glass
Under sleep
Magic brew
Laugh
Eyes brightened by morning dew


God bless,

Best Laid by the Mad

Booked a plan for living
The World wasn't giving
But what the powers were selling
Wasn't all compelling
Was unforgiving
Accompanied by yelling

Made a plan-filled journey
As the Devil played a tourney
Dealt under the table
An empty and shallow fable
Left upon a gurney
Sending home a cable


God bless,
>P<

Wages

A set of rules that always change
That's the Devil's only range
When we expect to receive the fruit
We find ourselves without a root

A set of rules clear and bright
Eternal wisdom clears the night
When we, to God, hear and pray
We find a wage to live the day


God bless,
>P<

Melody

Banter between the trees and stars
Amongst the songs along the hills
Never to hear the foolish siren
Always to live in harmonic stills


God bless,

Daily Threads

Some days are woven with silver and silk
Emboldened spirit, hunting dark ilk
With nobility as soft and smooth as milk

Many days glimmer with linen and gold
Royally festive, the stories are told
Divine inspiration enlivens the bold

Keeping discipline with iron and steel
Cold and alert to all that is real
Against all danger, ready to deal

In cotton and copper, beauty is love
Graced by the smiles of angels above
Blessed by the peace of a wandering dove

Days can be saddened in leather and lead
Changes so sudden, remembering the dead
The harvest is finished, so rest on the bed

Joyous are days of polyester and tin
Filled up on life, unburdened by sin
Even death cannot hold on the win

Maddening hats of mercury and wool
Cover the fleeting powers that pull
Increase the perspective and eyes of the soul


God bless,
>P<

War and Peace and Hope

The enemy wields a sword of poison
Spitting searing toxic blood
Turning men into mud
Winning corrupted empty wealth
Stay firm those of living faith
Do not fear the vacuous wraith
The Man on the cross will save the defamed
The beaten, robbed, poor, and unnamed
And the curse will stay on the enemy's blade
And Grace cannot be taken


God bless,
>P<

War of the World

Noise and corruption bring terror to the heart
Fear and hatred divide and tear apart
What is the end to this diabolical start?

The start of the end is His Peace
His joy motivates to merciful release
His Blood is poured til all sin should cease


God bless,

Giant Squirrel

A giant squirrel in a dell
Gathers where all the nuts fell
Climbs upon the lowest hill
Eats until he has his fill

Flavor Garden

Butterflies on sunflowers
Gentleness mildly sours
The violent assault of sweet
While the asters are replete

Following the Beach

Following the patterns of the sand
Singing with the trees in the wind
Hearing songs silent to the sinned
Grace calms the storm that I may stand

Cowardice and Punishment

Cowards hiding in the bushes
From the slashes of a thousand swords
Need to be slapped on their tushes
Called out on their deeds and words
Or they will run as the Devil pushes
Never free of their chains and cords



God bless,
>P<

Chase

Chase a mechanical floating city
And do not let the animals cry
For that would surely be a pity
When the stars appear to die

Festive

Gear up and rock
Don the party clock
Find the simple grooves
In which the spirit moves
