Bedstead Of Iron
4-17-14


Of one's nine cubits length
After the measure of a man
We pull up the covers
To dream of getting a tan
Exposed to the sunlight again
Wherein the summer has began
Of one's four cubits breadth
Upon his bedstead of iron
The giant takes his rest
And prepares for his tomorrow
He is a giant unto himself
With a will to face up
To what he needs to confront
O, why these measurements
So we inquire foolishly
Being not as one of superstitions of numbers
Rising from such a bed
To get my fix on pickled cucumbers
Like a giant to myself
I hope that I will get some rest.....
























At Study
4-17-14


Reporting to my next class
I pray for a brother at study
Of memories of overseas
And a cross I did not know
Drenched and bloody
Plowing through the gospel of Luke
On a riverbank fertile and muddy
Passing over armed all men meet for war
To make peace with our Canaanites
In conquering ourselves
For unto you today is born a Savior
Yet off topic in its being
Of the eve of Good Friday
As to be good
It needed to be harsh
And this will be a sign unto you
Let us go now unto Bethlehem
To report to my next class
And pray for a brother at study...












On Deuteronomy 3:22
4-17-14


For mine eyes have seen thine salvation
That I sometimes doubt
Sitting in my preference of darkness
Where it's lights on for me
To make sure I didn't spill my M&M's
As a careless gesture of my gratitude
Which thou has prepared before the face of the people
You are not to fear them today
But regard across the street
You chosen Presbyterian steeple
And the blooming of magnolias
Where springtime is underway
For my eyes have seen thy salvation
Being as the prayer warrior today...












Lift Up Your Eyes
4-17-14


And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature
And in favor with God and man
As one day soon I take out my chair
With my bible and pen
To get a tan
And I believe that this will be part of God's master plan
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar
Behold it with thine own eyes
Getting thee up to the top of Pisgah
The high priests do their thing
To but fulfill what is yet to be
Living not today only according to what I can see
Trying to combine the ways of the west with the east
As ye that did cleave are alive to this day....












Keep And Do
4-17-14


Keep and do
For this is your wisdom and understanding
Practice and pursue
In bringing the shuttle in for a safe landing
Hearing a voice out of the midst of the fire
But seeing no similitude
Where the mountain burns with fire
And with darkness and with clouds
Keeping my soul diligently
To teach our sons by word of mouth
In going west again to face south
Keep and do
For this is your wisdom
I'll be alright
Because I believe I will make it through
Keep and do it
To yet experience such for yourself
That today is a day much brighter....














Hopes For My Tomorrow
4-17-14


Anticipating with relish
Tomorrow's writings and bible study
I need a new Old Testament plan
To be as my parallel
To this John the Baptist research
Trying too hard to get an old pen to flow
As my right hand grows colder
In need to be quickened again
Participating with relics
Hitting my coffee pot and my black ashtray
I received as a gift from a distant brother
I often intercede for
Severing three cities on this side of Jordan
For slayers to flee when they kill unintentionally
In a symbolic sense
In that I flee there just as well
Anticipating with relish
The music soon to follow
A good night's rest
As you have heard his words
Out of the midst of the fire on the mountain...


























Three Treasure Cities
4-17-14


Going to Bezer
Coming from Ramoth
Approaching Golan
To see if I can make my way
To a safer place
Where I take shelter in the word
By such a crystal clear sound of my prog metal classics
Severing these three cities
For the cause of writing all about
What I have been dreaming
Mainly most forgotten scenes
Of trying to eat expired foods
Referring to both references
To the ten commandments
For the cause of all that is fundamental
Pouring myself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time
O, have no other gods before me
I would have said the same thing if I were there
Going to Bezer
Coming from Ramoth
Approaching Golan
As so indeed I happen to care....










Master Plan (Me)
4-18-14


Today's master plan
Is to close my eyes
And dream my life away
