Return of Makers

Lines, arcs, letters, words
Building palaces from dirt and straw
Complex from simple, to simple led
Through the words of 'love' and 'law'



God bless,

Acts

Address the speaker, respond
Care for the prisoner in bond
Teach the gospel, walk the Way
Smile upon your last and first day

Steady

Steady stone and piled brick
Combat the wear of tick tock tick
Steady prayer and piled love
Climb the ladder above


God bless,

Humanitarian

Pain to fix pain
Blood to heal blood
Scars to cover scars
Mud to clean mud

Venial

Every crack in the pavement
Allows for the weed
Rain and ice and sunshine
Caress the seed
Roots untouchable
Cracks grow wide
Until only destruction
And death abide



God bless,

Afterparty

When the chips are down
And the salsa has cooled
The beans turned gummy
And the sour cream pooled
Will you still glorify God
And serve His Name
Or will you self-pity
And drown in shame?



God bless,

Metanoia

Dented, beaten, pounded, flat
Not where to be, but where I'm at
Soon the righteous flames consume
And I'll be melting in the hottest room
With joy I hope, sorrow I fear
Each day the blade is drawing near


God bless,

When I am Composed

Take no quarter, but half of a half
Add a dot to the three note staff
Treble at the sharp clef as you rest
Measure the flat, noted as best

Scorching heat
Has me beat

To be Assumed

The arms that welcome home
Laughter out of peace
Life from the stone
Love that doesn't cease

Detached

Melting me, flowing I
Living in a way to die
Dying many ways to live
The peace that joy can give

Frustrated

Lines crossed above my head
Blind eyes endlessly tread
Wading in blood as heavy as lead
No rest for the dead


God bless,

Thirst

Crumbling towers built on sand
Fall upon the driest land
No rain, no rain relieves the wicked
When refusing the cross's ticket
When refusing the pierced hand
That quenches the soul's demand


God bless,

Walk

Infinite, beyond sight
Time enough to cross the night
And bless the cross, and curse the foe
Who hungers to drag us below
Hunger can only be sated
By the bread who is the fated
Who walked the night alone
And lit the path, and burns the bone


God bless,
>P<

Complacency

In the end
Complacency is death
Diligence is light
Faith is breath

Aid

Letting another help
Become a part of your soul
Strengthens joy in life
On the path to being whole

Fuel

Barriers made, just to watch people jump
Delight sadists, watching falls on the rump
Delight atheists, claiming God is cruel
Yet are nothing to adventurers, except as fuel



God bless,
