Panes of Glass

Panes of glass frosted with blue
Revealing stories of myth that said
That God is good and will raise the dead
For He laid down His life for you

Five Year Plan

My five year plan:
Pray every day until the end
Every wound I see I'll tend
Be a Godly man
Every storm and every tossEvery sorrow laid at the cross
Everything I can
Be His my glory be His my light
Be His my merit be His my sight
Everything I am


God bless,

Cheese

Helipads and doctors
Cheese and wineries
Dinosaurs and proctors
Welcomers and peas
Sometimes a bit of light
Is needed in the midst of night
And so I set my sight
To the prayers taking flight
Asking pretty please
For another piece of cheese



God bless,

Walk

Went to the park
Full of snark
Went on a path
Full of wrath
Returned on a road
With anger slowed
Returned home at last
No more aghast

Nap

Rest my head, gain no memories
Recover an energetic peace
Rest my head then rise again
A nap that's a good night's lease

Where Should All the Anger Go?

Where should all the anger go?
How else should this injustice fall?
Yet my hand is stayed because I know
You are justice You are all

Let not my anger dim, rather
Let compassion burn as hot
Let grief commingle with laughter
Both mercy and justice be sought



God bless,

Just Peachy

Lust

When I treat a part as a whole
A monster comes about
My soul its burning coal
My grief its kamikaze shout
And seeing the wreckage, the toll
A monster comes about
From treating a part as a whole

Anti-Social Musings

If I had to guess
(which unfortunately I might)
About the thoughts of people
On ascension and on plight
I would have to guess that
(Yeah I knew I would)
Plight would bring out laughter
Ascension would bring out good
But in my broken mindset
(If I had to guess)
I would rather set to sea
And think of people less



God bless,

Sudden as Laughter

The Artist

I lack the patience, my Lord, to draw
Every petal and stem
Every pebble, hair, and claw
As carefully as a gem

I lack the readiness, my Lord, to paint
Every daisy the same
I lack the diligence and love of a saint
To loudly, repeatedly proclaim

I lack the discipline, my Lord, by far
To sit with you a while
And yet your patience, my Lord, still draws
On me a simple smile

Fool!

Paradox of Liberty

That order brings freedom and chaos brings cages
Is a truth that rings through our belligerent ages
Freedom to act as one wills and one hopes
While cages enact fear and slippery slopes

Clean Heart?

How do you clean the heart?
You cannot see it, only others can touch it
And where do you start?
Perhaps with pride? But how do you turn the tide?
With what do you clean your heart?
A rosy place or a child's face?
Who can clean your heart?
Only Christ is sure to keep it pure



God bless,

Pranks

The greatest prank played on man
Is to allow us to do what we want or can
The devil need not lift a hand
Or give any demand

The greatest plank played on the devil
Was when he should have been able to revel
But his house had been built on sand
When Christ arose in the Promised Land

Good Morning

Dawn has a song, something like birds
Something like singing without any words
Something that trees give in silent chords
Something to make plows out of swords

Ripples

Every ripple unintended yet infinitely extended
To realms beyond the mortal beyond vision
Every act every word every breath for our Lord
Must be His to be guided to His mission
We are salt not the meal, we are light not the sun
May we be fervent reflectors of the One



God bless,

Myst

The myst ne'er clears til the sun burns
Roils the winds whilst the sea churns
Peace isn't calm but jubilant, it yearns
For the moment of clarity that the sun burns

Daydreamer

A question I could not answer
One posed to and by myself
Was if I'd inherited
The blood of a fae or elf
For mischief sometimes runs
Fervently through my mind
Hiding on the shelf
Any answer I might find


God bless,
