Candor reproach,
I am a fool
Tempted by fairies
Until I might drool
Tempted by devils
Until I'm a tool
Tempted by gremlins
Until they take my stool
I am a fool
But I know that is true
And so in this wisdom
(Given by You)
I bend down my knee
To join with Your crew
I beg by Your cross
To make me anew
God bless,

Simple Listening
The thoughts of the muses
That dance in the arts
The prophecies of sages
That sit within our hearts
The echos of our longing
Encourage us to walk
Through the deathly valley
And listen to Thy talk
God bless,
>P<

Ashed
Back to earth
To humble dirt
Mortal sorrows
Heaven borrows
Sufferings revert
To humble mirth

Smarts
What mind?
Where did I get the foolish notion
of having brains
Wisdom
or wit?
What value are thoughtless thoughts?
frivolous fathoms
and curious kitsch
So shallow my delves
even shallow graves are deeper
Yet the cheshire grin never leaves my heart
smug satisfaction in pies of mud
superior to sand
but not to the hourglass
What lies at the end of these thoughts?
What last tick before the eternal stillness
the lasting Silence?
my hope it is like the trust of a child
the hope of a bairn
the reverence due a king
Love wished to a Father
that would be a gift
I do not have to give
to receive first
to kneel
requires a Mother's Wisdom
May I?
God bless,
>P<

Fierce Love
Pour my wrath into love
A fierce warrior seeking peace
A fierce hope in a world of sin
Warmth that cannot be chilled

Entire volumes covered in dust
Words left unspoken and untouched
Like the dead

Change and Time
What was but isn't nor will be again
A flit of a flower, a point of a pen
What is but won't nor ever was
Dew in the morning, the cooing of doves
What was and is and will be
The feast of the Lamb in eternity
God bless,

Journey
Remaining unafraid, though in the dark, dark ruin
Hoping for the rising, prepare, He comes soon
Justice on the horizon, Mercy on the heart
Mary in her love and home, has raised us up to start

Fools Sleep
Fools sleep
Thieves come to steal
Hunters creep
Gluttons eat their meal
The wise stay awake
The humble give
Nurses caretake
Children of God live

Broken
Broken letters, broken words
Broken thoughts, twisted dreams
Twisted eyes, twisted records
Turning in on everything
Can the blind see their cure or the dumb call for help?
Can the deaf hear the angels sing?
Can a sinner save himself?
Broken body shared for all
Broken tree holds the call
Mother holds the broken man
Did He save us? Yes He can.
God bless,
>P<

Handle With Care
Care is taken for the fragile load
Justice convenes with her inconvenient air
Mercy begs for her costly care
Sacrificial kindness leads to His abode

Many lights and colored panes
Tell stories of glories and pains
Sacrifice and salvation
They teach at each station

Lost Shine
When light loses its shine
In the depths of the sea
When wisdom loses her gleam
In the heart of the dead
When salt loses its taste
We all agree
The gifts have been buried
And the spirit has fled

Acedia Schmedia
Corrupted by the numbing caress
Sloth that leads me down to death
Piercing needles awakens the soul
A burning fire, my bones as coal
Another step along the lane
With our brother, fallen in pain

Persistently Free
You knock me down, then pick me up
Made me blind for me to see
Turn me round to right side up
Broke my chains and set me free

Loud Thoughts
Even in my head
I hear the noise
I lay awake in bed
Keeping joys
Alive within my heart
Through the day
Persisting in the part
Or so I pray

Stubborn Movement
Stubborn trees reaching high
Towards the stars, towards the sky
A stubbornness taking every day
As an opportunity to pray
A gift of faith, freedom's height
Through the day and through the night
