Nightmare

My grip tightens on the hard stick of wax
Which softens a bit from my heated blood
The light from the wick does not help me relax
Nor does the freezing and knee-deep mud

The darkness flows from the new moon
And though all that I hear is whistling wind
My heart beats fast for I know that soon
The time will come for me who has sinned

Cerberus’s howls pierce my soul with fear
My flickering candle goes out in the mud
Tepid breath and warm mist breathe at my rear
With a growling laugh that hungers for blood

My eyes closed, my last breath deeply drawn in
Then Christmas bells! My alarm saved me again.



God bless,

Pursuit of Love

For those in pursuit of Love
Distance is expected
From climbing the mountain above
To having a star detected
And crossing a thousand miles
Spending years away from home
For the love of an infant’s smiles
For eternity, wise men will roam
Their zeal shall not grow cold
Their diligence of legend
Frankincense and myrrh and gold,
Gifts of the heart they rend
The wise forever brave the wild
In pursuit of Love, of the Christ Child



God bless,
>P<

Mother of the Son

Mother of the Lord
Who saves me
Who lets me see
That within He is moored

Mother of our God
Taught Him to laugh
Who corrects my gaffe
With his staff and rod



God bless,
