Runaway Running

Wispy lights and foggy trails

Lonely nights of broken tales

Unstably seeking unreal dreams

Leaves a soul desolate

As it seems

Eternal falling in the pit

God bless,

I Don't Know

I don't know

Where to start in the snow

When the going gets rough

I'm not tough

I am lost

Paying a large cost

My heart turning away

Every day

Yet you seek

Your strength lifts the weak

Sending your only Son

For everyone

God bless,

>P<

Early to Bed, Early to Rise?

Does death make an end?

A fade of life's trend

Or a gate past a bend

I cannot see

Do life's burden and weight

Help a stray walk straight

To the inevitable fate

Am I free?

This world twists sight

Though walking in light

Blind as the night

Such is we

Stubborn I stumble

Meek, poor, and humble

Your grace doesn't crumble

Under me

O Child the Priest

Who gives out the feast

From greatest to least

Glory be!

God bless,

Warmth without friction

Love without condition

Belief

Believe in joy, in life and love

Sing the hymns of angels above

Burn with the fire of this winter morn

And gaze on the holy hope who was born

God bless,

Vigil of a Feast

Visiting the fences

Minding little mountains

Appreciate the senses

Playing in the fountains

Waiting for the cap gun

Ready for the fight

Letting faith and hope run

To welcome the new Light

God bless,

Not of this World

A small note ripples the void

Laughter trickles through the rock

Rhythmic beats that the trees enjoyed

Cheers from pod to herd to flock

Can you hear hope in the air?

Do we prisoners dare?

God bless,

Alive with Joy

Grace that quenches the soul

Oasis in this world of sand

Here may I bravely stand

Pain

Seeing pixels, lights, and stars

Headlights on trains and cars

Madness falling in a bright cheery lake

Hopefully will cool down the headache

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Waiting Alleluia

Ice is such a lovely thing

Making a crown for a winter king

Snow softens under song

Skies darken, night is long

The symphony of angels and moon

Tenses up the waiting tune

Stay alert, keep your sight

To greet the Child of the Light

God bless,

>P<

Lightning in my bones

Whiskey in my blood

Coffee in my lungs

Wading through the flood

Into the Desert

Do we go into the desert

Walk amidst the sand

Lower ourselves into the river

Fill in our barren land

Bow to the spirit

Wash before the sun

Baptized into the life and death

Of the Holy One

God bless,

>P<

Bundled

Rest Haiku

Gone deep, seeking peace

Sleeping in the arms of God

Just needing a rest

God bless,

Joshua Fahey 

Hungry and Cold

A hole, a gap

A chasm no food can fill

No pleasure collapse

No purpose still

Only overflowed with love

Am I as at peace as a dove
