Walk

Time is when walking begins

Life is when it starts

Never shall the light be lost

From the wisdom it imparts

Masked

Mired and masked, a malicious end
Stuck to the sentence of stratified choice
Possibly perished and petrified the re-mend
With vilification of the verdurous voice

Scales

The scales in the hand of God

That weigh the righteousness of men

Askewed if viewed by men

Against the lives of men

Are balanced in true mercy by

The blood of the Son of Man

The flesh of the Son of Man

The cross of the Son of Man

God bless,

Drained

Drained of joy and fervor
In the shadow of tainted lies
Because of sinful murmur
The sinful heart dies
But one who accepts mercy
Who can forgive with whole heart
In heaven that one shall take part

Furry Haiku

Fur flew round the leg
Up the tree, down the tree, nuts!
It’s stockpiling time!

Collected Riddle

I spend my days in service
To the one who gave me form
Until I drop away and drift
Colored twilight, subtle storm
Amassing light does not make me nervous
But I know that when I die
Strafed, collected, burned, my shift
Accrued, now I ask what am I?

Deliberate

Deliberate is the song that sells contortions
For deliberate it must be or must have been
To contort the Truth or Goodness of persons
And claim their Beauty has an end

Coined

Coined a prayer, worked and saw

The Spirit breathing, fills with awe

Accept the loving work as gift

Accept the wage as just for the shift

I Thank the Lord, Day by Day

As I work and as I pray
I thank the Lord, day by day

I thank the Lord for the sun that warms me
Beams that shine and embrace gently
I thank the Lord for sweat to cool me
I thank the Lord, day by day

As I work and as I pray
I thank the Lord, day by day

I thank the Lord for the rain that falls
As softly as how my Lord calls
I thank the Lord for storms and squalls
I thank the Lord, day by day

As I work and as I pray
I thank the Lord, day by day

I thank the Lord for work that frees
I thank the Lord for His gifts that please
I thank the Lord all I see
I thank the Lord, day by day

As I work and as I pray
I thank the Lord, day by day

Circular Riddle

The soul’s form is like to mine
Grace’s receptacle to food’s vessel
Repository to uplift those in decline
Rotund as the ship that made the run of Kessel
I roundly desire to be occupied
What am I?

The answer is here

Leave a Light On

Leave a light on for those souls

Whose hunger for love has not been filled

Who wander the darkness in loneliness

Yet seek the light of Christ

Cold, a Damp Cold

Cold, a damp cold that delves to the bones
Darkness that is broken only by heaven’s pinpricks
An atmosphere that makes souls feel heavy as stones
A time when nobility is as crass as mud bricks

Behold, a ray from heaven and then another
The mists of doom disperse and darkness banished
Behold again the rising of the kingdom of our brother
Where both sins and the darkness shall have vanished

Seraph

Lift up your eyes

Behold the man on the cross

For He satisfies

Exaltation Sonnet

A snake wrapped itself around my soul
Temptation was the game it played and won
Its venom coursing through my essence stole
The purity vital to living in the Son
The burning night and day continued on
Left and right I saw my fellows fall
And fearing not to see another dawn
I begged the Lord to answer true my call
His voice came down so quiet and so strong
“Take heed all those who do not wish to die
You shall be healed as though you’d done no wrong
Looking on the seraph lifted high
For though the wages of your sin is death
Your debt is paid for with His final breath”

God bless,

Benighted Riddle

Half of me is able
The other half is banal
Waxing about light
For those in darkest plight
Until sputtering I die
Now answer ‘what am I?’

Boxed

Inside a strangely cubed container

I jumped down a temporal disturbance

For this cardboard is an imagination trainer

That takes me to a future stance

Little Bitty Poetry

Little bitty pieces
Of a little bitty living
Put into little bitty cubes
For a little bitty moving
Of the little bitty creases
In the little bitty tubes
For a little bitty grooving
And a little bitty giving
Just some little bitty packing
Is a little bitty lacking

Just a thought

If peace we make

As we ought

Stiffened Vessels

Stiffened vessels of scarlet dread
Lead to stiffened pump of rock
Steeling itself as it hears sins said
Repulsed as if charged with shock

And yet the Truth continues speech
O Mother, let me not delay
In removing all that may impeach
Or corrupt this clump of clay

Let me rejoice and glorify
In hea’en with every holy one
Worship God the Trinity
The Father, Spirit, and the Son

Addicting Limerick

Beaned is the screen that is drowning
And the face that is waiting is frowning
He woke from his cot
And started the pot
But it’s coffee that’s needed for morning

Frigid Riddle

I am so cold that I hold your food, until you handle me good
And though I am running, I need not be caught
I will stop running if you do not treat me as you ought
what am I?

Reflection

Upon reflecting I see a growth

An urge wells up inside

A painful act to remove that path

Results in a smooth ride

Melting the Pot

Melting the pot, cold not hot will be heating the kettle
Building shut down whenever I frown upon the froth
My heart beats and it meets a stranger’s mettle
I find I’m not made of cloth

Danger is sweet, sweet is fleet, and I’m a ninja
Darkness a friend and so is my end, my death be bitter
While I leave an ancient weave of classic avenger
Like a crude critter


God bless,
