Detachment

Madness from the presence of the world

Like echoes from the splashes of the void

Movement from the push of sails still furled

The marching rickety spasms of an android

That the church bells would peal

And my soul would feel

Free from the cage of concern

Imposed by a world that claims I must earn

God bless,

Repent

Building a home

But not

Being accepted

Is a lot

Of sadness, and grief

Let me turn the new leaf

Be renewed

And walk

Down the path I had balked

God bles,

Fearful Haiku

Steer, slip, stop, and breathe

Never in a moment so cold

Frozen in winter's cage

God bless,

Dangerous Business

Meddle in the woven strings

Anarchic scrawling on the wings

Orders of the Fallen fall

To the thing they are enthralled

Let the adventurous spirit thrive

As though one, infinite, alive

God bless,

Gnostic Conspiracies, Catholic Promises

Does it matter what is obscured

When we have the Eternal Word?

When we have the endless Light

Does it matter what skirts the night?

Live in day, live in Love

Live life with the God above

Give Him all: strength, love, power

He'll not abandon in the final hour

God bless,

For love and truth

Communicated

The just and ruth

God is sated

And draws near

Blots our loss

Conquers fear

By the cross

Failure of focus

Like hocus pocus

In a puff of smoke

Diligence broke

Mary’s Zeal

Hidden as grapes in wine

Grace leading us to the Divine

Shining as water in bowls

Hope burning hotter than coals

Fear fails

Hope swells

Love grows

Truth knows

God bless,

Furball

Cradle, cuddle, cat'll scratch

Leer and limp and lock the latch

Prod and posture, purr and preen

Quickly caught the occupation of queen

God bless,

Sugar and flour

A child begs

For another hour

Dawn

Swords pierce the drowsy beast

Through hands that cannot cover the sun

Blades, drowned in midnight feast,

Bend under the weight of last night’s fun

Baptism of the Lord

Joshua Fahey 

Born Twice, Die Once

Where the dead drown

And the living are born

In silent sound

And raging horn

Under a bleeding tree

We

Are made whole who were torn

Seafood Diet

Fish, fish, fishing in the water

Caught, caught, now begins the slaughter

Fish, fish, fishing in the sea

Eat, eat, that omega three

God bless,

Joshua Fahey

Faith

More than rock, deeper than water

Fear like lightning and like air

Disappears in blindness like a blotter

Yet happier are the aware

Grasping riches

Gasping breath

Only to death
