Predicting Famine
5-23-15


I wasted my substance on riotous living
I love you, my God no matter what happens
Needing another new lining in my waste basket
But nothing is squandered and I will not know a casket
We think we have all that we are meant to
If you do not believe it will not be established
Sometimes we ask but we ask amiss
Squeezing my avocado to see if it soft enough to cut
Happy with my life even if I might be in a rut
The way that lovers do
Brought back into Antioch
Such a place is my home away from home
Where Agabus stands up
Predicting a famine
In that today I give thanks for this abundance
Known to dance the night away in dreaming
Also in the days of Claudius Caesar
We yet hunger...










Ode To Lucius
5-23-15


Who had been brought up
The foster brother
My only request today is to be a blessing to Mother
Saying hello again to Madame George
As one to scarf it down and gorge
I love you my God no matter what happens
Herod blasphemes and dies and another baby cries
Because he cannot enunciate the way he feels
Because of her gladness
She did not open the gate still asking amiss
O, take away all this hate
Wanting power yet misunderstanding
Youtube works again praise the Lord
All she needed was some rest
All to catch the light in the stream of consciousness
Beneath the surface of common days
Praying for a girl because she is beautiful
Put not the cart before the horse
My only request today is well being
Greeting Lucius of Cyrene
And newfound freedom and what it can mean....












Have Coolness (Travel)
5-23-15


Ye ask amiss
To spend it on pleasures
Where your heart is so will be your treasures
Apostles daily walk with Jesus
And call it their leisures
They try to position themselves for popularity
Asking amiss for states of magnification and its bliss
When they want power and fail to understand  it
Cool air through my east window
Ten true summers is something to believe in
If you want to be great then just serve
I have other wagons to get on and to step aboard
Things to give up for the good Lord
Northwest into Asia from Lycia
Have coolness we will travel
Ye ask amiss....










Serve
5-23-15


Who do you think I am
I am not he but behold
There comes One whose sandals I am unworthy to unloose
There's a truth in this to hear and to give up fear
And to choose ones cheer
Passing through Pamphylia
Take one step beyond thee
Love of others will see you through
In all that we truly are
Ten true summers
The sons of thunder will walk with us today
Through Perga and into Attalia
One more cup of coffee before I go
He whom God raised up saw no corruption
Take one step beyond and no disguise
God has fulfilled this for us in his children
First called Christians in Antioch
And a door that I need not lock
Collecting visions
Stealing moments
If you want to be great then just serve....






Washing Feet
5-23-15


To raise the pen
To reinvent the title
Another tablet as one to repent
Changing the way I think
Watching the last train to nowhere
Put it behind you and never again slip through the cracks
O, such a dream I hold fast to
We were made for each other
Who desires to be great, let him serve
Even if his only holding I bear
Jesus washed their feet to take part in them
I am happy just where I sit
And I need not leave my front door unless I choose
To don't ask for well being
To have glory in yourself
But to be a blessing
Jesus washes their feet
Ask to love others in such a desire
As Christ loved us
The right thing to ask for
Anderson and Squire, my morning task...
