Snowfall

Cold and warm, fluffy dust

Signaling that play is a must

Down a sled or built up men

Or war with foe and friend

God bless,

First Sunday of Advent

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Ready?

Alert, the rabbit eats

Unalert, the sheep bleats

The wolves seek their prey

The wise seek to pray

And weep

As fools sleep

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Vanity

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

No Alternative

Treasure stored is treasure lost

Greed and envy is the cost

Keeping others from anything

Keeping others away and fleeting

Until their simple breath

Causes death

In the heart

With no thanksgiving

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Dreams

Naps and kittens

Moss and mittens

Playfully written

Rascals smitten

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Juggle

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Garden of Hope

Steady hand and patient heart

Building up a loving art

Abiding by the Truth’s clean edge

To clear the brush and trim the hedge

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Crown

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Time Slips by the Land

Time slips by the land

Dwelling in the blessed hand

All the sparkling stars sing

The praises of Christ the King

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Like a Banana

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Red

Drenched in madness imprisoned

Stung by words, the lizard listened

Yet frustrated by cowardly reason

Suppressed in tone, in season

Favored not by fortune instead

Guided to where He bled

Liberty found under a weight

Justice is satisfied, never late

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Black

Wiped from thought

Memories like ghosts and faeries

Steps echo serenely in an alien ear

Anxiety harries

Nothing left to grasp or rot

But nothing left to fear

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

White

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Bowling

Alleys of lanes of booms

Pins, unpinned, awaiting their dooms

Balance with force, spinning away

Guttural growls ruin the day

Hefting the balls, black as coal

Friends having fun, we bowl

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Blotted Out

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Change

Universe hidden, protected, small

Buried and destroyed, a fall

Germinates new life in death

Life that greets with warming breath

That which was hidden, magnificently shown

Protected and limited, now beyond the known

Small faith leads through fires and harm

To great rewards, embraces that are warm

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Truth Sleeps

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Imprisoned

Eyes that choose to see nothing

Ears that choose to hear nothing

Mouths that choose to speak nonsense

Brains that choose to think nonsense

Souls in sin

None get in

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Bliss?

Oblivious to secrets

That everybody knows

But everyone forgets

Where Wisdom goes

Is ignorance a crime

Of the finite mind?

Fools condemned to die

Eaten by the crows

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Air

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Eternal

Enervating

Pushing rocks up a hill

Unending

Time blindingly still

Broken

Only by the Word

Spoken

To those who have heard

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Coin Toss

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Gifts

In the gracious emptiness

The light shines out from all

Received and given, generous

Heeding the Spirit's call

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Forge

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Black Hole

Collapsing

Destruction and unification

Stripping of joy into power

Holding hostage

Explosion

Destructive freedom

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Rain?

Dear and playful mates

Within the fence, beyond the gates

I wonder at the darkened skies

And seek to comfort Nature’s cries

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Resurrection of the Body

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

All Saints

Brothers and Sisters,

Pray for us

God bless,
