Intellection
2-15-15


No longer a devil's haircut
I let it grow out if not tempted to get shaved again
Hitching a ride from the bleeding noses
This is what today I have to do with my pen
Plenty of music to lean back on
Her young are dashed in pieces
According to God's purpose and plan
Thou will also be drunken
In dreams of falling off the wagon
O, God is good
We can always return to him when we stumble
I grow it out
Come let us reason...




















Saracen
2-15-15


Strongholds and fortresses
Are as fig trees with their first ripe fruits
Available in filthy cabinets
Where I discover old treasure
Of all pain and pleasure
Advised to take my time and just enjoy my coffee
And pray that my writings will be for something more
Than just filling in the pages
On my karaoke weekend
Without raising my voice to song
O, draw thee waters for the siege
Feeding today my hunger
For truth and understanding
God bless even the Saracen
God is revealed from faith to faith...








Kiln

Breaking out my sixteenth book
Of the year of fourteen
I find it hard to read my own poetry
About how Hannah was gracious
In skies vast and specious
Given little understanding
Of where I was when I spewed these words
From an inexpensive pen
Put to parchment
The gates of the land are set wide open
And I walk on yet to tread the mortar
And make strong my brick kiln
The sun is up
And now I can write all about it...










Brave Birds Sing
2-15-15


Brave birds sing
Angry birds warble
Courageous to be out there
In these extreme freezing temperatures
Beautiful sunlight illuminates
All things that God still creates
A lot of ands in the book of Revelation
We cannot add to it nor disannul
Count on it
Read, write and worship
Getting grit in my craw
If any hear my voice and open the door
I come in and sup with him
And he with me
And so we plow on
According to the plan...










Unveil
2-15-15


Back again and many more happy returns
I pray for the neighborhood
To be safe and for the power to stay on
Life will go on
Count on it
I stand at the door and knock
O, I hope not
To he that overcomes
I grant him to sit with me on my throne
As I overcome
Just passing through
I don't seek to get some
when I already have all I need
Right here and now
Into Judea we are shown just how
Come the process of unveiling...
