In Union
6-3-14


O, that you should be married unto another
O, that you should step aside
And let in your big brother
O, that the flames that rage
The blanket doth yet quell and smother
I can't make it without you
Becoming as read to the law by his body
Having no further use for life itself
According to the church that indeed is still right here
No, we have not been raptured out
No matter how much of this we might fear
Therefore those in union have no condemnation
And if this is all I get from the message
Then I do well....












Met
6-3-14


Raised from the dead
To but bring forth fruits unto God for repentance
I will walk and smile again
And not live under this here sentence
By victory, by authority and by reward
Of one baptism, one faith and one Lord
So that the righteous requirement is already met
Fulfilled in us that walk by the way
By which I can forgive and forget
O, so when we were in the flesh
We still have want for another cigarette....












My N.W.T.
6-3-14



Jehovah's witnesses cross my path
For a higher purpose and special reason
O, I wish them well on their way
And for a fruitful season
In rewards to Ephraim called as the fruitful
According to this illustration
In contrast by our Assyria
As a powerful nation of our Mesopotamia
In our will to make it last
Taking those people captive again
But as one to leave behind the past
The New World Translation is not so different
By seeds dispersed
And by shadows yet cast...












I Choose To Smile
6-3-14


He will come to us like the rain
By corrupt sense of pleasure and good pain
He will pull through for me
Even when it's insane
According to the Lord of the opening of our Baal Peor
And coming to an understanding
Of what it all can be for
Breaking up your fallow ground
Making peace where there is war
If you see me
We yet stand at every door
If you see me
According to the blood that hits the flood
This is my gift to be my trial
Planting my hemlock
Right next to such a burning bush
Of which I will choose to smile....












Given
6-3-14


Given to know beauty
Today I behold
As all that I can see will serve
As my silver and gold
I just want to hear your rhythm
And the mysteries that unfold
Planting my bush in the furrows of a fertile field
Taking up the helmet and breastplate and the shield
Ready to meet the Spirit there
To which soon once more I will yet yield
By the rains that teach us this righteousness
And our weapons we yet wield
Given to know all beauty today
My page is torn
Yet still quite justified
Where not all things are expedient
And not according to one's flesh in pride
Given to know all beauty today
Still walking in the old nature
But at least I went along for the ride...












An Help
6-3-14


Breaking out a fresh whole wheat cracker
To hold me over until then
By intention, attention and no tension
In the where and when
Yet to write a letter to my higher power
Of pages threescore and ten
And two times this I must say
By the grace of a humble yet nimble pen
By which there are two great days in a person's life
The day he is born
And the day he discovers why
Much like my own name
And what it all can mean
Where it is all too beautiful
In deeper hues of blue and green
As in like manner
The Spirit joins in
with help for our weakness....












Raise The Roof
6-3-14


Getting ready for a gift or two
In all that I might come to see
In you as to myself I will be true
Fading from black ink back into blue
Just to prove that indeed I am able
Now that I paid my rent and cable
Where my purpose is the roof of my home
For happiness as my daily calling
As fantasy, farce and fable
O, your purpose is the roof of your home
For happiness
Asking the question
O, what is mine
As so the answer would be to me
O, everything
Yet to shine my light
In all I do and say
Losing a tooth one year ago
But to the purpose of finding my way...












Ode To Gomer
6-3-14


My new bible so is written in fine print
Reading the book of Romans
First according to instinct and predisposition
Sent out again soon on another grocery mission
Out here searching for my piece of the cross
Quoting Stipe, Bono, Van the man and the Boss
Yes, all things happen for a reason
In that all that I gain in my loss
Like golden sunlight shining to a forest floor
The Lord hath called us
To find our whore
All things happen for a reason...
