Just Passing Through

Courage

Lord, with what can I atone?
In the land of the blind
The one-eyed man is stoned
Courage leaves me in a bind
When I speak of Love's throne
When I try to remind
People we are not alone
Let my blood be your sign
A message to woo
"Jesus loves you"




God bless,

Sleepy Furball

Death of a Mindset

Flecks of nettles in the song

Impede the lullaby's sleepy spell

That might have taken the very strong

Into the very deep well

But awake I stay for asleep I must be

In the twilight of ignorance and ken

Floating on the Stars' mystic sea

I remember myself to be as I may not have been

God bless,

Brushed Up Routine

Wrestle the pestle in fluoride and bleach

Brustle and rustle the paste to the breach

Lather don't blather forty white horses

Roaming foam searching and staying the courses

Wince when you rinse hemo goblins from hills

Then crash with a splash of minty fresh kills

God bless,

>P<

Guardian

Entire Portions of Ancient Lands

Entire portions of ancient lands
Faded away through foreign eyes
Until today as ignorant hands
Crush tradition and rend the skies
And under the din of their commands
No one may hear the angels' sighs

Eyeing an Ear

I Cannot Escape

Even in blindness, your love does not depart
Though I am not an eye, I am connected to your heart
Not even death will separate me from your life
No illness, darkness, fear, violence, strife

Even if I settle in the bowels of Hades
Or betray your grace for the pleasure of ladies
You will still love me and have a purpose set
If I would drown in mercy and in a rain of grace be wet

Though I may not have the strength of muscle or of bone
You have offered me a place that I may call my home



God bless,

Cold Seat

God bless,

Joshua Fahey 

Relaxed Haiku

Peppermint cocoa
As steam frosts on window panes
Warm taste of heaven


God bless,

Merry, merry, quite contrary

Merry, merry, quite contrary
To the melancholy I enjoy
Gay dance and laughter truly carry
A frivolity so unwary
Of despairing demonic ploy
(Which has its own dangers I'm sure)
I may forget by grace's employ
A minute's reprieve with sadness's cure
I, like Cinderella, mustn't tarry
Of basking in a brown-eyed joy
That angelically merry Mary






God bless,

Dust up

Flake

Little dancers on the wind
Not a single one is twinned
Falling on a lovely nape
Keeps the essence, loses shape

Cheers!

It's what brings us together, today

In hope, I hear your voice
You call me to the altar
Your pledge is made forever
You wait for my choice

In faith, I sign the covenant
With the blood from your heart
Onto my cold heart
Fulfilling promises is grace sent

In love, I follow you, brother
Onto the sea, up the mountain
Your joy in me is like a fountain
Your love is like no other



God bless,

Take a Shot

God bless,

Joshua Fahey 

Aim

Seeking ahead, by inch, by foot, by mile

Releasing a relaxed smile

As food for the month flies out of my worries

Just a calm swoosh under snowy flurries

God bless,

Preparation

Bill the mountain for the shadow

Bill the valley for its niche

Bill the rough land and the plateau

They'll be smooth or you'll be rich

But a warning for that undertaking

If a path you want to be creating

Better to start digging it yourself

Lest the money lose its wealth

God bless,

>P<

Mary ask your little child

Mary, ask your little child

To guide my desires (which be wild)

To flow on toward the holy face

Of the one who blessed you with grace

God bless,

Water

Made clean in water
The old dies in water
Water renews birth
Giving divine worth




God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Flurry Haiku

Motes of elegance
Icy white in purity
That comforts my heart




God bless,

Sweet and Warm

Sweet and warm the drink
Filling an old mug
Of old memories I think
Nostalgia weakly tugs
Snowmen, sledding, and frozen hands
Warmed by hot cocoa
Details slipping past like sand
But I'll keep the marshmallow



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Uncaged Thoughts

Collecting cups of caramel
(Not my cup of tea)
Given to the sentinel
(Who doesn't work for me)
Passing by the seneschal
(Whom I'd leave at sea)
I pause to chew some fennel
(My latest penalty)
And gaze out from this living hell
Surrounded by the ocean swell
Wishing I were free





God bless,

Flit and Flutter

Winter Dress

Caught a winter dress today
Fluffy, white, and so serene
Given by the frosted fae
To a woodland spooky scene
Trees grown bored of evergreen
Laughed and sang to dryad's play
With royal quiet as a queen
Saw a winter dress today




God bless,
>P<

Little Light

West

West, west, west of water and sand
Go, go, go and seek the king of all lands
Now, now, now he gives us our plans
Bless, bless, bless us in the palm of your hand

Theotokos

Held within her heart a throne

Where she keeps deep thoughts to hone

And ponder them until she's crowned

With all her children gathered round

And teach their depths to each little one

So we all might follow her first born son

God bless,
