Cleansed
11-13-10





I walked away and said that I didn't know
I could not make out what he said
Soon to dive into my pool
To be brought back from the dead
I can understand a little better right now
That I'm washed clean by filth
To be made clean again
Yet to make a cat toy from my pen
She wasn't very attentive
She lost interest in playing that
Long ago...










Room To Learn
11-13-10


If I figured it all out
There would be nothing there for me to find
As I stand in the shadow of my doubt
In order to give more work to my mind
It all works out for the better and best
As so in knowledge
I will invest carnal knowledge
That is as well spiritual and profound
Accustomed to believe by faith
That I am heaven bound....










Exposed And Clad
11-13-10


To be exposed to Scripture
Is to be clad in the armor
For when we step out into the battle
Where the shepherd tends to sheep, mules and cattle
Multitasking while taking heed
Not to step in the excrement
That serves as fertilizer
Where I don't lose it
When I see an ad for Budweiser
Staying out of bars
Better off taking my shuttle to Mars
To find what I lack if I stay behind...








Living Miracles
11-13-10


Tuning into Utah and Notre Dame
To say that I like things to remain the same
I check my laundry at half past three
Quarters in numbers go down
It is meant to be
It's a good investment
To get my clothes clean
When I am out to seek
What all of these things can mean
My cats are living miracles
My younger one always reclines at my left
Taking a deep breath every thirty-two bars
On the base cleft
Practicing meditation
Without expecting to improve
When there are no rules
And nothing to prove...










To Learn More When You Lose
11-13-10


Unto my God
I am made a king and a priest
Yet I still take the humble seats
When I go to the feast
The fighting Irish are having a lousy year
They finally found a team they could beat
No contempt intended here
When one learns a whole lot more in defeat
Trust not in wisdom
Such is vanity
For it is the Spirit of God
That brings about my sanity
Where I lose it
And find it once again...










A Parallel Truth
11-13-10


She said I needed to save myself
It really made me think
Leading to my prayer and supplication
How will I accomplish such
But to with God keep in touch
My faith still remains within the cross
Where the trial will serve as my crutch
And now that the second half begins
I forget all about my sins
And go on as if I have liberty
To do those things that make me who I am...
