Heat that Burns

Heat that burns nerves of pain
In the bones, I let escape
I let escape to keep me sane
And the flames around me drape

In the bones the light does dwell
Burns my marrow so I might tell
So I might tell the glorious name
Of the One who drapes me in flame

Not a spec of sin does stay
In hearts that burn with light of day
With light of day I learn to pray
For flames that burn my bones of clay



God bless,

Crickets are Chirping

Crickets are chirping
Blood suckers buzz in my ear
I sit and I breathe

Moist are the heavens
Exuberant falling drops
I breathe and I sit

Threading my Riddle



Upbraiding evil,  braiding down to the grave
The crooked, my tassels, ending their life
Or my plaits can spin in the darkness to save
Weaving down cliffs, relieving strife
What am I?

Wikipedia's article on the answer

Stars


Staring the abyss staring
To see reality uncaring
A stare not asking how tis faring
Ruining one's own bearing
Stare only broken by angels' blaring

Peppery Patter

Pity the peppery patter choosing chatter
Letting lies leap like lions in the hunt
Garrulous gossip is gross and gimp
Reaping rotted rules by a virtuous runt
