10-9-11


Blotted out are all transgressions
as a thick cloud
As to he more highly distinguished
Will make one bold
Enthusiastic and proud
And our sins return to us
In that we are redeemed
Where yet another world
Out of nothing at all so is dreamed
Where on this day I am scattered
In a safer place
Where nothing else really mattered
Where it is what it is
And I am that which I Am...










Chitterlings
10-9-11


The chitterlings to the epicurean
Are quite delicious
If we take not thought of what it is made of
With a bottle of syrup at the breakfast table
And to kill that other taste that lingers
Where we get hungry enough
To lick clean our fingers
As a prerequisite of feasts
Yet to be prepared at the marriage of the lamb
Counted today worthy enough to say
That indeed I Am...










On First Corinthians 10:26
10-9-11


The earth is the Lord's and the fullness
In that all is fulfilled and complete
As that which is sold in shambles
We are told to go ahead and eat
The earth is the Lord's in the fullness
Where we can own everything we see
Just in looking upon the lunar and solar landscape
Along the interstate highway headed south
Of foliage that gives words straight to our mouth
Yeah, the earth is the Lord's...










Round Three
10-9-11


Intoxicating and heady
Is the new wine
Of incentive willing and ready
Diligent and much ready to go
In that there is so much more
For us to come to know
Going another round with my root vegetables
Fresh and raw
To know that no man lives
By the entire law
As grace steps in to fill the gap
And serve as the protective hedge
In which burns a flame
To serve as a sign of perseverance
In this improvisation
Of all that is Me...










Ultramarine
10-9-11


Hues of ultramarine edify
In that they are contrasted
In a scene we can observe for free
That for so much longer
In our eyes has lasted
Where one so owns the view
In simply looking straight on
Where I put my senses to their practice
By the half light of the new dawn..








Commodity
10-9-11


Breaking out the lavender honey
To pour into my coffee cups
To consider the bees that would visit certain flowers
Observed by those in this particular field of interest
Where I experiment with streams of consciousness
Yet to rise above
That which I learn to live with in this
As this newfangled commodity
Will contribute to my joy and bliss...










Fourteen Months
10-9-11


Sometimes I feel as if I'm still quite lost
As I do my penance in my Whitsunday and Pentecost
Yet to work out this salvation with reverence and fear
Coming up on my fourteenth month mark
In going without ordering a draft beer
As this is something
Where I chart my progress
In my inventory
Of steps taken forward
Straight into a new horizon
Of my hope not deferred....








Packing My Valise
10-9-11


Yet to pack with provisions my valise
Yet to request of my God a profitable trip
With love, joy and peace
Willing to go there
If I am certain of my victory
Wherein I surrender
With no additional resistance
Yet to penetrate the surface
And transcend all stagnant existence
Rising to the occasion
Ready to go
In hopes for beautiful sunshine
To light the way ahead...
