On Hebrews 5:7,8
12-30-13

He offers up prayers and supplications
That would save him from death
Stated in the present tense
For the cause of poetry
In which I owe him today my every breath
As so he takes on the role of a human being
To become one of us
Stated in the present tense
To make it official
By though he is a son
He learns obedience
Though the things which he doth suffer....





Trim
12-30-13

I finally trimmed up my mustasche and beard
Where my remembrance to a passed on uncle is quite weird
Yet authentic and nostalgic
In his pickup truck
Where left so he steered
And I'm proud of my new look
Not conceited
But boasting
Of what the good Lord hath made
Chillin' with Dylan on a cloudy day
Where the still small voice
Says that I have it made in the shade....




Punch
12-30-13

To enliven and punch up
And take up my pen and coffee cup
By a weakened hand that writes these words
Tenacious
Pulling my punches
And exercising mercy
Glorious and gracious
Knowing the joy in the halflight
Where lesser lights colored
Permeate all drear and gloom
In that I am happy today
To stay inside my room
To enliven and punch up
To add zest and vigor
With my sacred coffee and sugar....





Resolution
12-30-13

Don't worry and be happy
Is my new year's resolution
Seemingly unrealistic
Much like trying to give up cigarettes
Seeing that such has brought me closer to God
In my trial that is my teacher
In saying a prayer for my former preacher
And interceding for lost souls
If we even have the right to call them such
As so with my higher power today
I get back in touch
Wherein the book of Romans
Today will serve as my crutch
Don't worry and be happy
So is my dream...




Author
12-30-13

Being made perfect
He becomes the author of eternal salvation
To those that hear the truth
And apply it to the life that lies ahead
In that I rejuvenate and get back out of bed
And make another written note
Of the still small voice in my head
To open up the good book
So that with manna I can be well fed
Hoping that not everything has been done and said
In my own company with pen in hand
I break bread
Wanting to give up worry this year
And give over to God all consternation and dread
It is a tall order
But I believe that it can indeed be





Habit
12-30-13

In my obsessive compulsive tablets
Are my attention deficit scribblings and woolgathering
Seemingly speaking into the wind
O, Lord forgive me that I have sinned
Where I gave up trying to give it up
And I stopped trying to omit
My noxious pastime
Of breathing it in
As if it were a necessity and desire
Seeing that it has brought me closer to my maker
In my manic coffee spoons
And my post traumatic slat shaker....





On Hebrews 5:11
12-30-13

Yeah, of he we have much to say
Hard to be uttered
Seeing ye be dull of hearing
Intoxicated today behind the wheel
In all careless autopilot steering
Where only by faith
I make my way towards my river Jordan
In hopes to reach my promised land
And the blessings I count
Just as numerous as stars in the firmament
And as grains of sand
Seeing there is more blessing than burden in all of this....








Redeemed
12-30-13

O, we are Christ's
And all is ours
And we are not of our own
Redeemed with a price already paid
In that I cannot cast the first stone
Upon those that seem to be out of the Way
Where we indeed own all things
And there is no need to lock everything up
Because he whom steals
Yeah, it's all on them
O, we are Christ's
And all is ours
Redeemed and bought
With a price already paid
Reiterated for the cause of reinforcement
To get these promises into our minds and hearts...





Ye Did Run Well
12-30-13

By all momentum and driving force
I can practice nonattachment
Knowing that all is from the source
In memories of childhood
On my miniature golf course
Putting on another Dylan album
To be pleasing to the ear
Of my racing horse
And this time he did not freeze at the gate
By the starting gun
By all momentum and stimulus
Wherein well today I did run...





Milk And Meat
12-30-13

Everyone that uses milk
Is unskillful including me
Of being the babe in the word
Finding new ways
To allow my pen to glide right on
Playing Dylan's first album from sixty-two
To see the real me that lies in the real you
And he that knows the meat
Has his senses exercised
To discern the evil from the good
As tonight I say my prayers
For the neighborhood....




Saponification
12-30-13

By my saponification of her fat
I find it beautiful in that such is where it's at
Boasting in this fetish
To which I take off my cowboy hat
To place it upon a higher limb
Of my Christmas tree
To keep it up for yet one more month
Because this is what I choose
And I am free by my saponification
Of all I can hear, taste, touch and see
Treating with my alkali of what is me...




Giving It Up
12-30-13

Giving up my trying to give it up
Seeing it has brought me closer to God
In the poisons of my pastimes
Of the cigarette and my coffee cup
I finally got around to making it clean
So that I can fill it again
And say here what I mean
Leaving the principles of what is fundamental
To move onto perfection
Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works
A quote I borrowed from my bible
That today I quote with the joy I choose....





Treatment
12-30-13

I can always get back to what I was doing
About my deficit
Treating this sickness to the faith that heals
If this is what I believe
O, such I will receive
Where all sin dates back to Adam and Eve
Within the first three chapters of this wonderful story
Of the light that still shines
In the heart of the citizen of the kingdom that is now...





On Romans 7:6
12-30-13

Serving in the newness of Spirit
And not in the oldness of the letter
Even in tasks insignificant
That make our world a little bit better
No longer under the bondage of like passions
Dying to what we were held by in those chains
As of today, broken
If this is what I choose
Where indeed I can triumph
The moment that I lose
In that I finally got some rest
Wherein I can resume
In all that which I invest....




My Subliminal Message
12-30-13

We ask O, is the law sin
God forbid
Where we would not know of it
Without such a law that cannot be broken
In that it just is
Knowing not covetousness
Except through the law thou shall not covet
Wherein today I must say
That I love it
As sin takes opportunity
By the commandment
And God's word does not come back to us void...




Getting On With It
12-30-13

Setting my coffee aside
Turning on my Blonde On Blonde
To take up my herbal tea
That serves as another magic wand
And there is plenty more where that came from
Learning my lesson of taking my time
To know that there is enough for us all
Where apart from the law
Our sin is dead
As so we are just as well
To the rudiments
That would once would have us in chains
Setting my coffee aside
Piping in the music
For the rest of my day....







I'm A Winner
12-30-13

Yes, the law is spiritual
Yet I am carnal sold under sin
By the oil that lubricates joints and tendons
Of brass and tin
Taking away all alloys
Where when we lose
We indeed win
On my first cup of valerian
I do it all again
To be as nurturing
For another humble pen
Where righteousness produces life in the sinner
And in that I fail
I am still as the winner...
