Fearsomeness

The world is as fearsome as a kitten
Thinking itself a lion
Christ is as fearsome as a lion
Presenting himself as a lamb

Righteousness

Righteousness towards the righteous

Kindness towards the cruel

Prayer for the persecutors

Obedience to those who rule

Righteousness towards the righteous

Hope amidst the fallen world

Joy amongst the ashes

Life in the Cross unfurled

Righteousness towards the righteous

Peacemakers loved by the Father

Martyrs loving the Son

Prophets speaking in the Holy Spirit

Speak 'Love one another'

As the Three love each One

God bless,

Stained Glass

Boiling glass and frozen panes
Mixed with ever brightening stains
Arranged and ordered by breath and blast
Tell a story at the last

Joy

The strength of an acorn from the strength of an oak

The freedom of sparrows gives glory by sparrows

The trumpet sounds like from a trumpet

Denials and lies are the Enemy’s arrows

Stand with the Word that Love spoke

You are joyful praise

God bless,

Local Weather

Padded under local nines

Traps and wedges, local fines

Speeding through the local signs

Lost amongst the local pines

Sand Castle Haikus

Sand castle tower
Intricate arrogance
The waves wave bye-bye

Sand castle tower
Temporal beauty expressed
For eternal love

Summer Lunch

Butterflies and ants
Jam and cheese and crackers
Leaves and sunlight dance
Napping with the slackers

Mystical Ties

Sister, brother, mother, Father
Family with what was other
Tied by Blood, thicker than blood
Tied by the One who breathed into mud
Sacrifice of that singular Potter
Whose bread and wine, becomes Body and Blood



God bless,

Spring Cleaning

Cloth shield against the proof of acedia
Eyes and lungs still irritated by the disturbance
Tempted to drift back to sleep
Grace me with perseverance

Who?

Lifted out in a whirlwind
Overturn world-views of sin
Vigor and vim and joyous flame
Entirely sublimating to the Name

Tested, stolid, sharp and dear
Rifts and sifts the storm of fear
Undercuts the powers and thrones
Thrashes the corrupted bones
Heals the stricken, the Way is clear

Bringer of both sight and life
Enabler of the act
Issuer of law, honor, pact
Nest of peace, shelter from strife
Giver of all lacked


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Libera Nos a Malo

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Apathy

Without a goal, short or long
Makes a weak man out of a strong
Makes a sleeper out of hay
Spaced at night and in day


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Paradise

Eternal movement
Everlasting growth
Endless adventure
Timeless oath


God bless,
>P<

Looking

Nineveh

Hang chains around my wrists
Rub ashes on my head
Sackcloth on my back
Penance for food and bed


God bless,
