Not Far

How close to be
In order to see
Without asking another question?
Take the dare
Fix the stare
Solidify the impression
Yet the Teach
Says to reach
You need divine intercession

Apart

Went over the edge of the knife
Left my left foot, kept my life
Cannot stand, lost all face
Can only be saved by saving grace

Desert Perils

Dryness, thirst, folly, and death
Harder to drink, with every breath
Harder to walk under the weight
Praying to beg for the blood that sates

Better?

Better than what?
Progressing where?
From mud to soot?
Sin to despair?
Saved only by the grace of God
Infinite being considered odd
By finite fools in the dark
Desperate to make their mark
Better than what?
Progressing where?
Only heaven's got
The answer




God bess,

Trouble Sets

Trouble sets in for now
Can trouble be deposed?
Many errors walk their own way
As the lazy supposed
The worker alights
Rests at nights
Trouble and work opposed

Astray

Great fall and minor wrong
Make nights restless and long
As enemies close about
Error leads to deathly doubt

Double

Twice never seen
I’ve never been

Peace


Same in war as in peace

Letting prayer never cease

Never early; never late

Making peace part of fate



God bless,

Great Waves

Great waves pushed far

Lakes wide and sunny star

Hope that hate cannot mar

Has opened the jar

Isness

Fear of an image? Fear of a future?
Harshens the present, blinds the loser
Love of the Maker, fear of division
Guides the wiseman with clear vision

Pride

Lost and never in a map
Sailed a page, a chapter, not looking back
Trees look like angles, houses are for squares
The mind merely mangles, adventuring? never dares
Never needs for all the answers
All the questions too
Have metastasized as cancers
In the map I never knew


God bless,
>P<

Hope Dignified

Every click and purr, crash and bang
Digs at the soul with a hungry fang
Vying for attention like a puppy's bark
O World, this mad World, in the dark
I beg you to beg the light to shine
Let's pray together, imbibe what was wine
Become brethren by blood, by Blood
Washed clean of mud, in gracious flood
Let be
In silence free
Singing praise eternally



God bless,
>P<

Thine

All good in me
Is from Thee, from Thee
Save me from the rest of me
To be my best eternally
Giving all to Thee, to Thee


God bless,

Meal

Seeded hearts, virtue or vice
Reap the fruits and winnow the chaff
Bake the bread, serve a slice
Dine with friends, smile and laugh
Giving life by lying dead
We are his grain for his bread




God bless,

Slowly

Click click click
Groans the hinge
Movements stick
Frustrated cringe
Exhausting fare
Ending in prayer


God bless,

Foggy Walk Before Dawn

Swimming in the clouds, at night
Who knew grey could be so bright?
Who knew sight would be so dull?
But it gives me time to mull

Fortitude

Joy does not disappoint
Peace does not despair
Children love the Lord our God
Everyday in prayer



God bless,
