Needing Not Cognac
6-21-15


Again my cat takes her spot
No blemish, no boil, no blot
Keeping an open mind to these divine interruptions
And to be just me and not what I am not
Shout joyfully to the Lord, O all the earth
Break forth in song and rejoice and write praises
For the lock on my window and a chain on the door
From whence we are emancipated
Waiting for my mother's call
Another eagle with great wings and many feathers
As the song of praise she sings
In the storms she weathers
Planted in good soil by great waters
That it brings forth good fruit
Falling awake slowly
As the day progresses
I don't need cognac
In that I'm already intoxicated on the Word....












More Improv
6-21-15


Some say that life's too long
But at least it inspired me this song in the making
In improvisation
In Jesus we can't go wrong
To light the dancing candle flame
Where he puts his Word even above his name
In the moment's reflection
Say thou it shall prosper
Shall he not pull up roots and cut off the fruit that it wither
Sliding through Victorian tunnels
I pour gasoline through my funnels
Of a kingdom to be base
But made great in God's grace...












Prepared
6-21-15


Prepared to take a rain date on a sunny day
Say to this rebellious house
Know ye not what these things mean
We are brought into Babylon
Back into exile to be humbled
I hope to make the scene
Such a kingdom will be base
But it is great in God's grace
Thus saith the Lord, it shall prosper
Whether or not we meet up today
As captivity teaches humility
Taken of the king's seed
Met will be our every need
Making our covenant
Taking an oath
To choose between the cart and the horse
Told that we can have both
Soon time for a fresh batch
For it's been twenty-four hours
Since I made that which precedes
Prepared....










As I Live
6-21-15


Let the multitudes of isles be glad clouds
And darkness surrounds him
To the point of us going mad
We are to him God-who-forgives
And to this day indeed he lives
Despising the oath and breaking the covenant
So do we according to our human nature
As I live
My oath is despised
When we go back on availability
And reneage from accountability
Swear not at all
Not even by your head
I spread a net upon him
Thus saith God, I live....










What Mean Ye
6-21-15


All his fugitives fall by the sword
And they that remain are scattered
Exalting the low tree
As doth the good Lord
And indeed it really mattered
Making the dry tree to flourish
And by the breasts with milk
She doth but nourish
O, what mean ye
In using this proverb concerning Israel
Saying our fathers have eaten a sour grape
What mean ye
Go and find out what this means
And I will have mercy
O, how lean thee as children's teeth are set on edge...
