Body of Grace

Web of ligaments, muscles, and bone

Never isolated; never alone

Always with purpose, courage, and zeal

Whenever receiving my bloody meal 

God bless,

And Jesus saves

Patient Diligence

Stretching out in the mire

Avoid the liar

Toward the spire

Seeking out the healing balm

In the palm

Sing a psalm

And I am calm

Gift of Living

Patterns, predictions, prophecies call

Out myths and elves as being too tall

The maps in our heads, we all know are wrong

Are ghosted by the siren's song

Onto our hearts, Lord, a law, a compass

Guiding us through any crazy dark mess

Ne'er to be questioned is God the Father

For the adventures he gives sons and daughters

Give thanks and praise

All your days

God bless,

>P<

Webbed

Anxiety and Foolishness

Madness never ends

Never delivers peace

It ever downward trends

In wars that never cease

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Journey

Keep moving

Moving to the light

Going steady

Steady through the night

Over hellfire and high seas

Keep rowing

Going through hell?

Keep going

God bless,

Drowning Bird

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Rock

Stones that be

Growing slowly

Heat and pressure

Wearing down

In sun and time and air

Waiting

To cry out in glory

That Christ is here

God bless,

Predestined

Intending a twitch, I’m free! I’m free!

I can feel what you cannot see

I can act within the flow

Where I and the Spirit go

God bless,

Prayer Against Repeated Temptation

Foolishness leads me by the nose

Away from where the Spirit goes

Lord, free me from my sin

Keep me from my rot again

God bless,

Some Notes

God bless,

Held Tight

Held still, though wishes run free

Stiffness gives more liberty

When a wound needs time to heal

In constant prayer, the soul should kneel

Guidance

Crowded and murky sight

Cannot keep from the fight

When the path is fogged

To keep from being bogged

Trust the Spirit’s light

Even after horrendous pain

Numbness scares me more

Though sensation seems to wane

Lord, help me keep open the door
