An Elephant in a Snow Storm!
A day without mice
A night without worries
Sure would be nice
God, thank you for flurries
God bless,

Coffee
Oh, when the lagging washes over and the energy flies free
Of the insubstantial prison door, that is known as me
An infusion of delight to fill me full of glee
I would like a cup of coffee
The bitterness of fruit combined with the darkness of tea
A sigh escapes me resigned if I cannot have a taste of thee
A boost of youthful immortality
A simple cup of coffee
When life is weary and droll and work is piled infinitely
Soothing liquid swallowed whole, the gods' nectar delightfully
Black as my soul, and hot as a hellfire sea
A miraculous cup of coffee
God bless,

Bald Eagle
Divinely dipped shadow distantly sighted
Plumage plummeting precociously planned
Snipping with splashing, claws sank into salmon
The bold bald eagle breathlessly bearing away
God bless,

Riddled Poem
Blessed scarlet floating, singing
Incomprehensible voices ringing
Revolving, hinging, basic treble
Defensive strikes against the devil
(Answer sometime next week. In case it isn't obvious, you may start trying to solve it before then.)
Update: Answer is in this post.
God bless,

Letter
Dear God, from Earth to Heaven
Praise be to your holy name
For your Kingdom may I be driven
So that nothing shall be the same
May your Will dominate mine
And nourish me with your Being
Wash away my faults, that I be thine
As I wash my many hurts clean
Guide me away from the enemy
Guide me toward your mansion
Save the soul you gave me
Sincerely, your adopted son
God bless,
>P<

My sister
My sister will love me if I write
About a most adorable sight
A little puppy with eyes of brown
Its mouth closed in a begging frown
The brown glistening fur
It making a cute purrrr
Wait. Not a dog but a cat?
My sister will not like that.
God bless,

Sheep
Sheer surety in following simply
Helped thru harrowing hellish trials
Encouraged and emboldened with love
Eking out the Edenic, eased by grace
Prayerfully putting God above possessions
God bless,

As we forgive our debtors
Poisonous blade, sharp
Damaging wielder to hit
Hatred causes death
Painful balm soothing
Healing for the enduring
Love shall conquer all
God bless,

A musing rhyme
Sincerely to ask what is everywhere,
Yet not a single drop to drink?
A common compound from the air
Refusing within ground to sink
Stillness of mirror to baleful stare
A flooding of thoughts to think
God bless,
>P<

Magic Wand
The reason the cape shimmers when it should be in shadow is absolutely because its a magic cape. That I completely forgot and am too lazy to rectify are completely coincidental.

A musing rhyme
I wandered away from home and still I will
Keep wandering on and on away, away
Climbing up the mountains high and maybe a hill
I’m seeking adventure and dreams today, I pray
Hope hasn’t escaped me, but I’ve escaped it, to wit
My heart is seeking out love, that of myth forthwith
Of flames climbing higher so my eyes be well lit
Yes, living and loving that is my pith
And Beauty, my soul soars with your song, sings along
And Truth, the fighter within my mind, I find
A blazing of glory that shines as the day’s long
And journey companions of spiritually like kind
Must I endure drudgery of fools? of tools?
Who noisily are stuck then break all rules?
God bless,
>P<

Riddled Poem
Perforated rods of breathless humming
Interpreting God's own kingdom coming
Pulling out all the stops to dignify
Eager response to the master's drumming
So I ask you; what am I?
God bless,

Ferocious

My sister would say that this is training for the cat to kill you in your sleep. She isn't a cat person. |
The treacherous thread
Needs reminding who's top cat
Kitten's happy pride
God bless,

On sin
To err, the biting of that blade
That cuts to marrow and deeper
Wielded by my own cursed hand
My damned feet run to the reaper
No longer any rest in mine own land
Fallen to the hell that I have made
The darkness grips, pillage and raid
My soul has rotted, been torn to slivers
Pleading with the last gasp I care to make
His cross! Pouring out its bloody rivers
The suffering gladly made for my sake
The ransom for my soul is paid
God bless,
>P<

A spoken word
For whatever reason we believe
For whatever reason we’re alive
Whether for life’s tapestry we weave
Or whether for life’s bounty do we strive
Forward charging through the morass of doubt
Through hope’s infusing waters do we float
Wearying frightful walls have not the clout
To slow our courageous drive or stop our boat
Beauty, Truth, and Goodness are our pride
For these we give our sweat and for this we bleed
To reveal the slimy hollow one who lied
And kill its devious breath, its rancid seed
We believe and though for this we are killed
The blood of martyr’s cries will not be stilled
God bless,
>P<

Pascha
People pervade, perform, parade
Again alleluias around accolade
Singing, shouting, souls are soaring
Clang! Bells clap with clerics caring
Hail! Hail! Humanity is healing
Again alleluias around accolade
God bless,
>P<
