Build Small

Build small trusts, keep small joys
A little light inside the heart fares better than the world's ploys
And when eternal eyes see you
There'll be more delight in the small but true

Fear of the Lord

Do I dare gaze into the eyes
Or glance upon the face
Clasp the weathered hands
Of this blessed human race?
Blest with the image of the divine
An inherent holy trace
Do I dare meet with any pride
Any man's created place?

All Nighter Haiku

Sparkly stars abound
In front of eyes dimmed and wide
Wishing sleep might come

Work to Survive

Buggy go down to town

Horsie don't horse around

Business can boom

Averting our doom

While diligence does abound

What Did He Say?

Sometimes I Think We're Screwed

We got the inheritance
Of selfish arrogance
Passing it on hence
In apathetic governance
Sitting on the fence
We destroyed from whence
A lack of recompense
Had caused our injust sense
Lost in future tense

A Fool I Knew

A fool I knew (Not I for sure)
Thought he found a penultimate cure
For the ills of the world (which? I know not)
Yet saw that others against him fought

And in his mind (I was there)
Thought such injustice was unfair
And plotted vengeance, death and theft
In the end was left bereft

The point (I think) to such an end
Is to doubt the self and trust the friend
Our God died to keep our sight
Upon wisdom, love, and the light

Daily Prayer

Rhythms in the everyday
Melded with the will to pray
Make sacred both work and play
And in the soul forever stay

Comfort Food

A simple little lunch
On a couple bread slices
Peanut butter to crunch
Jam with fruit and spices
Each comforting munch
Full of nostalgic prizes

Stubborn Foolishness

Stubborn with single minded madness
A head rams against a wall again
And without any time to think of sadness
The wall unshaken remains the same
Yet there is a living spark of gladness
In persevering to keep honor to a name


God bless,

Regret

I regret my sins and my wrongs
They hurt He who called me good
I do not regret my weakness
For it has allowed me to rely as I should

On the grace that lifts me beyond
The earth onto that forlorn tree
Beyond the tree into the tomb
Beyond death to life in purity

Postmodern Diet

Very strange kind of feast
Not eating in the least
Very strange kind of fast
With cups and bowls and plates amassed

Eye of a Storm

Blasts of light
Bone rending sound
Tremble the ground
Banish the night
Ice cold water
Pounding air
Gasping for prayer
This son or daughter
Gasps for liberty
Calling on the Trinity

Branching Sparkles

Faeries and their torches
Spectate spectacles with light's tentacles
The vision gently scorches
Letting the trap encapsulate, finding the senses too late
Admiring the forest's gleam
Never waking from the dream

Easy Road

The easy path I walk and waltz
And laugh at fools who carry crosses
They speak of lights and carry salts
And in this life have material losses

Yet my wrath flares up again
Every time I see their smiles
Though it is I who burn with pleasure's flame
And dress in all the latest styles

Envy wrath lust and pride
Gluttony sloth and greed
Never let me rest or hide
But His flock He has freed

Nothing else to hear
Can you hear the crickets sing?

Days Work

Dabble in devices diligently, saving visual vibes
Marking movements, memories, and immense mixes
Providing popular pings for people to ponder
And shout, sharing socially simple swashbuckling

Stress

Playing the cat's fiddle
Over grey thoughts
Echoing actions
Til all strings are taut
then SNAP
the end
Roll a save to begin again
