An Adventure

An adventure, walking with friends
Contemplating God's means and God's ends
But the power to resurrect from the dead
Is revealed in a meal, breaking bread

I Have No Idea

This is what happens when I have I start drawing with idea whatsoever what I'll be drawing. Or I could call it modern art. I don't know which would be worse

Prayer and Attitude

It's possible that nothing I plan
Not even the most trivial amusement
Or simplest necessity can
Make any true improvement
On ten minutes of prayer each day
And a childlike joyful manner and way





God bless,

Random Reflect

Reflect on quiet and peace
How stillness can release
How joy builds a life
And faith lightens strife

A Little Grace

Geared Up

Tick tock tick
Slices of time, thin, thick
This metered rhyme, real slick,
now for the chime, ding dong
Long pauses stick

Divine Mercy

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Merciful Heavens!

Merciful Heavens! Hear my plea!
Drown me in thy blessed sea
Let thy grace bring me to thee
Who broke the prisons and set us free

Sand Under my Feet

Sand under my feet
Draw lines in
Keep myself out
Lonely within

Two lines of wood
Drawn in God's blood
Reaching out
Lift up from mud



God bless,

Lullaby of Ink

A typewriter's ticks and dings
Forming crowns of elaborate kings
Backbones of heroes and knights
Or a spy's enigmatic flights

A symphony under the moon
Tales of plight and doom
To delight, to fright, to give sparks
O'er many imaginative larks

A sound that'll ne'er be mute
A trap with a bottomless chute
A joy as I rest in my chair
And I'm taken anywhere



God bless,
>P<

Mystery

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Joy

Favor unfurled in fleeting winds
Sands fall steadily in unstable form
Weakened and harmed by many sins
Yet finding shelter amidst the storm
Safety in the shadow of the cross
Hope in the emptiness of the tomb
Comfort in restoration of our loss
Peace as the sun burns the gloom




God bless,

Happy Easter!

Resurrection

All the past, all the future
All eternity for one action
For one point, for one purpose
For one covenant, one crucifixion
Blood for when we disobeyed
Blood for what we've babbeled away
Blood for peace and joy-filled days
Blood for resurrection


God bless,
>P<

Good Friday

Food

Food is philosophical
Bread sates and wine sustains
Meals are joy with kith and kin
Even when it rains

Food is theological
For a body-soul
In gratitude we eat to live
Grace that makes us whole





God bless,

Plan Alike

My plan is perfect I know
As surely God will show
That His plan is exactly like mine
Every space and line

But this prophet seems in no rush
So I'll need to give a push
He goes to the garden to pray
And that's where the kiss will betray

And then the kingdom shall be shown
Our enemies cut to bone
And everything will be fine
For God's plan is exactly like mine



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Shall We?

Tranquil Lullaby

Quiet nights, grant me silent stars
Give me truthful wars, a peaceful dream
Let the good news teem with intense flame
As you call my name in stellar lights

I Cry Out

If stones did cry
I wonder how
Theirs voices would carry
If wood would cry
I wonder how
Steady its voice would be
The chorus of the inert
Would be so beautiful it'd hurt
And set all sinners free


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Droning Droning Droning

In a Place

Referee my arguments within my empty head
So that peace instead of chaos would reign over my heart
But my will, degraded, leads me to the red
Where the flowing blood is needed to restart



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Draught in Rain

A draught of wine
A pint of beer
Things so fine
Sight so clear
Yet I'd not be moving from here
If grace did not lead
Unmoved without a hint of fear
If I wasn't freed




God bless,
>P<

Piercing Hope

For Protection Against the First Mortal Sin

A taste of the devil's emptiness
On my mind doth ever press
Slowly steals away the joy
Replaced with ever sick'ning cloy
That first taste made such a mess
When I fell for the devil's ploy




God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Unbind

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Entombed

Even if darkness hides my sight
And death hides my soul
Even in the endless night
Give me grace to ask for light
To make me whole



God bless,
