Blind and Lazy, Greedy and Foolish

Done a little
Done a lot
Never moving from this spot
Move a little
Or a lot
Never giving what I’ve got
And at the end of vanities
A hellish cold, my soul to freeze



God bless,

Circling Around

Coming to a fork
Turn left
Another turn
Again left
Around the bend
Turning left?
Stuck in a circle
Still left??!!
Help!!
Shepherd’s staff, Thunk!
No longer left bereft



God bless,

Focused Diligence

Take a step
Climb the slope
Never in hubris
Never mope
Just take a step
Then again
Now a man
Amongst all men


God bless,

Less Talky, More Walky

Lips move
Sounds sound
Nothing improves
Until feet hit the ground

Prayer

Words to the Word
Love to the Ghost
Self to the Father
Praises of the host
Glory of the people
Baptized in His death
Living in His mercy
Breathing in His breath



God bless,

Lost Lamb’s Cry

In the center, out
Breathing once again
Tearing away doubt
Opening the pen
Freedom with a shout!


God bless,

True Death

Caught and bent
Twisted within
Sparkled and spent
Suddenly dim
Light that went
Out on its own whim


Gods bless,

Face the Music

Words that deceive
Twist the eyes away
From seeing Truth
Obstructing time to pray
From seeing Love
Putting family on the shelf
From seeing God
Even in oneself


God bless,

Self-absorbed

Circling in my own little universe
Round and round in a pitiful snow globe
Anxious about the perfection, immersed
In a nonexistent irrelevant lobe
Despair tears at my soul
And I call to the God who is whole
Rudely I demand a probe



God bless,
>P<

Before Meals

Simple day
Simple drive
Simply pray
Over simple fries

Living on a Prayer

Wearing pain like a badge
Shielding me from care
But every wall built crumbles
In the onslaught of daily prayer


God bless,

Now Choose!

Closets full, diversely organized 
Blacks and reds and whites in any size
Shoes and jackets, hats and socks
Suits and dresses, shorts and frocks
But what to pack in single bag?
Space contorts and time will lag
Finding the rightness in infinite choice
Calls courage and wisdom to voice



God bless,
>P<

Robbed

Robbed myself blind
Beaten the fool
Soul scarred and lined
With a torturous tool
Yet my wounds close
My heart in an embrace
Because you choose
To have taken my place



(Sorry for forgetting to post)
God bless,

Summer Haiku

Heat drying out Earth
Flames devour the skies and seas
Extinction event

Distance

Moats define
Drawbridge up
Ramparts patrolled 
Soldiers sup
None know what’s within
A heart closed off because of sin



God bless,

Charting the Flow

Rivers run run run
Never always there
Courses change change change
Both frequently and rare
Yet in fun fun fun
River rafters dare

Laborers

Sent to danger
Peril and suffering
Foolishness to Greeks
Happily go the saints
