Family Prayer

Father Adam stay and pray
For your family gone astray
Holy Moses, faithful Job
Pray for us on judgement day

Brother Jesus who died and rose
From His deathly still repose
For your family gone astray
Pray for us and hold us close

Prayer from Peter, prayer from Paul
Grace from Him who made us all
A prayer for Purgatorial souls
From family comes every Fall

No smell

No smell, but hunger
For the infinite, to seek
A difficult road to travel on
Reserved only for the meek

Crying, neglected
But the Lord pours out His love
Listens to the poor

Baptism

Marked and made
Holistically whole
Scrubbed clean the stain
Baptismal bowl

Two Thousand Million Stories

A wall, the tower heightens awe and fear
Two thousand million stories do surround
The aisle endless, breathless still we peer
And gape at magic cages leather bound

Hands reach and grasp that wildness from its ledge
When freed, sweet music resonates and plays
Transforms the soul which nobly gives a pledge
True wonder fills the heart in myriad ways

And when we leave shall these adventures end?
The faeries weep? And dragons' treasure capped?
The lovers hearts stay broken, never mend?
And murder left unsolved? New worlds unmapped?

Can we leave and end the adversary?
The guardian answers "Yes, it's a library."

The Baptism

The prophet shouts "Repent!
You who are proud and lazy!"
People gathered round him
People called him crazy

The prophet shouts "Be baptized!
The Kingdom is at hand"
People came into the river
People all over the land

The prophet shouts "Repent!
All of you who have sinned!"
A man walked to the prophet
The prophet heard the Holy Wind

The prophet shouts "Be baptized!
Though you should baptize me."
The man smiles at the prophet
And began his ministry

Look Up in the Sky

Look up in the sky
The man with the staff
Raised so high
To bring down God's wrath

Lady Wisdom

Lady Wisdom gracefully dances
Pierces my heart with truthful lances
Pierces through the Devil's guile
Lady Wisdom's graceful style

Growth

Movement nuanced, subtle
Made from a small rock
Needing fertile rubble
Water, the key to unlock
Maturation sprouting seedling
The first notes a dryad sings

You Know

An imprudent claim

To know what you don't

A losing game

Which winning you won't

Checkers

The goal is one hop away
For the soldier in his square
Every move a logical play
Every jump a bloody dare

Tenacious enemies move and halt
 A king, from soldier now is crowned
Backtracks o'er foe with deadly vault
Victory comes with all enemies downed

To barracks all soldiers return
The battle has settled, and now tame
Until we start with your first turn
In this war-torn checkered game

I Wonder

A wanderer would I be?
I wonder every day
To sail across the sea
Following the sailor's way
Or perhaps the sea of space
To the planets and the stars
It would be a glorious grace
Wandering around afar
I wonder every day
Would I travel across the waste
Visit the Christ-child and pray
Do I wander with such haste?

An Agreement

An agreement with an open-heart
With the Holy Breath
A discussion that I dread to start
For I dread my death

The innocence of Holy God
The goodness of the King
I fear I am myself a fraud
And betrayal will I bring

My soul has not stopped shivering
Though that's not its form
For I see the Just delivering
Of hellfire and high storm

Yet the face of God looks at me
The face of Christ the Lord
Bloodied body hung on a tree
"With this you are my ward!"

An agreement with an open-heart
With the Holy Breath
A transformation, eager to start
Beginning with my death

The Right Question

If you don't ask the question right
The answer disappears from sight
And you never know you truly did
For from ourselves some things are hid
