I am a Bowl

I am an empty bowl

I am a cracked bowl

I am a cracked bowl, no longer a bowl

I am a cracked bowl, no longer a bowl, wishing to be filled

I am a cracked bowl, no longer a bowl, wishing for all bowls to be filled

I am not a safe

I am a bowl, wishing to be filled, to be emptied out for others

To be filled, to be emptied out for others

To be filled

I am His bowl

He fills me, and pours me out

God bless,

Lesson taught in wondrous smallness

Overwhelming phantom tallness

Leaping out of caged wallness

Western Sunrise

The sky alight like the lines on a cake

The sand aflame with every grain

The embrace of light like a guardian angel

The day that keeps a man sane

Moral Compass

If ye can do wrong and do

May ye be caged to stew

If ye can do right yet quail

May ye flee with turnéd tail

If ye were to break any law

Find one with crooked flaw

And ne'er break either these two

Love God and yer neighbor true

God bless,

Jiving to Tunes of Tears

Jiving to tunes of tears

Drowning in a jester’s fears

Apples and pears and berries

Softly as an angel carries

God bless,

Puppetry Amidst an Empty Theater

Can fire alight a void

Warm the heart of a sea

Enlighten the head of a mountain

Or set Pluto free?

When the compass stops seeking north

How does anyone know their worth?

Stormy Mind

Sinking from the lightning

Sinking from the waves

Failing to keep my eyes

Upon my Friend who saves

"Help" cries the helpless

"Help" cried out in fear

"Help" cried to the Walker

Whose gaze is very clear

"Fool" I hear sinking

"Fool" I hear in love

"Fool" calls out my Savior

Who lifts me back above

God bless,

Rusted Kings

No matter the tyrant or king

No matter the army or war

God’s angels comfort and sing

God’s people praise and soar

No matter the time or space

Eternity cannot be o’ershadowed

By temporal powers in place

Or limited armies embattled 

No matter the goal or method

No matter the gain or loss

God came amongst the indebted

And redeemed the many by the cross

God bless,

Finned

Lost Lamb

No matter where the lamb wanders

Or how many wolves surround her

The shepherd strives to hear the cries

For help and save the lamb, and reassure

Belfry

In the dungeons of the mind

Nothing hidden in the cells

Yet behind the walls you’ll find

Dusty, dented, angel bells

Selfless

Finding that which is not us

The minus that is truly a plus

The compass that leads beyond

Superficial affection to an intimate bond

Juncture

Juncture of vice and virtue

Which way is the way to turn?

A celebration for all eternity

Or amongst the dirt to burn?

IT

Wires and cables and tangles and knots

For phones and TVs and giant robots

Make a webwork of lights and lightning

Photons, electrons, and protons all sing

In the Library

Milk, cookies, celery, and me

An afternoon reading about being free

Sailing with curs on the blue sea

Visiting with nobles drinking their tea

Fog of Doubt

When the light of knowledge grows weak

Only darkness is seen at the peak

When Wisdom flees

In the evening breeze

Faith is the strength that we seek

Sip

Collecting water, seeking light

Giving all through His might

Laughter sings from every lip

While in communion, Him we sip

That is all the Lord does ask

That is our created task

Faith, valued only in darkness

Hope is only given amidst despair

Love, miraculously needed within the loveless

The virtuous is the one who'd dare
