Prayer Answered Samuel Born
7-22-14


It comes to pass
In the process of time
That I would read and rock on
To be the poet to write this rhyme
Lord I pray for an ecstatic experience
But I'm content with well being
Wherever I reach out to feel your hand in mine
As Hannah conceives to bear a son
To go up for this yearly sacrifice
According to his vow
As the time of salvation is here and now
Now it comes to pass
In the process of time
And all that heaven will allow
O, do what seems best unto you
Wherever I'm alone
I know that you are there...












Lent
7-22-14


Thirty-one chapters on this endeavor
Nothing up against the rest of forever
You're all that I need while we're apart
O, talk no more so very proudly
In declaring, O, thou art
For there is none beside you
In my making of a new start
You know I've cried a thousand
Before you left me
Standing here in looking back on my first love
Taking up my skin of wine
In my search within, beyond and above
Where even the hawk could fly beside the dove
Thirty-one chapters
So it is to be...










Bows And Arrows
7-22-14


The Lord is a God of knowledge
And by him all actions are weighed
It's not something a scholar can get from collage
And another day in the eyes of the hungry
So is  made the bows of mighty men broken
O, when its over
You know I'm still in love with you
Where even the barren has bourne seven
And I will meet you again someday in heaven
In remembrances of the messengers
At the bookstore I wish them well on their way
Where by strength no man doth prevail...














Fleshhook
7-22-14
* this is an error on the spell check but I intentionally go again it




Exalting the horn of his anointed
To magnify the seat today of his appointed
I see my wee lass walk away double jointed
And by this memory I stand here strong
By the writing of such a song
I hide in my music and forget the day
O, is this so wrong
While the meat is yet seething
Come the chime of one
I tag along
Taking up my three pronged fleshhook
To thrust in into the cauldron and its pot
Not trying to be something that I'm not
Exalting the Lord of his anointed
When it's all that I've got...


















Sautee
7-22-14


Sautéing my mushrooms
For further meaning and insight
Into all that is me
So I can smell of all that which I now see
By the sons of Eli corrupt
Asking for guidance in this reading
To set me free
Assembled at the door of the tabernacle
To but simply be
All I want is my piece of pie
Falling from another apple tree
This is the simple lunch that I partake of
And to face up to it and not flee
As everybody's got advice
They just keep on giving
Of which one cannot but grasp or bear
As this mushroom aroma
Will fill the open air....














Party Of Three
7-23-14


Yeah, let's get this party started
Whether I like it or not
Even if such is only by my pen
In territory uncharted
I give it all I've got
Thus saith the Lord
Did I not clearly reveal myself
In the flow of ink
I do it all again
It's a party
And nobody cares what we do
Going back to Egypt again
To enter the house of our Father
In order to obtain provisions
And make these decisions
Let's get this party started...
















On First Samuel 2:27
7-23-14


O, why do you do such things
And continue in sin like this
O, why not settle with well being
And cease the chase for bliss
Did I not clearly reveal myself
Beside my feline companion
That would never growl or hiss
Let's get this party started
She keeps good company
I get used to good news
Going back to Egypt to visit our Pharaoh's house
God knows what I am feeling today
Words or not
Here I write my morning away
Tell me what I want to hear
O, now I pray....
