Overjoyed
5-11-15


Overjoyed this Monday afternoon
Still dreaming of Soissons as if I have seen it before in another lifetime
One can receive both possibilities of heaven as well as another incarnation
Somehow for my Accidia, a word not found in my lexicon
And he brought us into this place
And has given us this land
So that even those in ignorance can come to understand
Thou shalt rejoice in every good thing God has given thee
And unto thine house where Christ is the groom and we are the spouse
Rock on, O poet and scholar
God fixes the problem
The plug was undone but for an hour overjoyed
Now I bring my firstfruits
Here am I
And the children whom God has given me
Overjoyed...




























Ode To Newts
5-11-15


The Lord of hosts
Him you shall hallow
With fat yet to chew and pride to swallow
Grace has been my greatest companion
Him lifted from the Septuagint
For all manners of rocks and flint
All things are good to those that believe
And nothing is to be refused
At first in former times
I keep the thirst and all day I write my rhymes
Seek not those who are mediums or wizards
So you can be compassionate to your newts and lizards
Water is the best thing for you so said my uncle
From my Florida vacation days
When it was all so simple
God is with us...










Maher-Shalal-Hath-Baz

Another primary application
Of Maher-Shalal-Hath-Baz
Speed the spoil
Hasten the booty
To live life abundantly
Is ones Christian privilege and duty
God is with us
Judah is Immanuel's land
And therefore cannot be counted
Except as Immanuel permits
Good sporting one hour till its time to go shopping
I made my list to tonight get my calcium and protein
Where even a babe can have steak in small bites
Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed
Another primary application by the River Nile
Let us tarry here for a little while
In the latter time
He will make it glorious
By the way of the sea...










Create

On the increase of his government of peace
We will pray and not cease
Dog earing my page with a significant crease
Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God
Come the moment of here and now
All I have is this pen like Moses and his rod
We are for signs and wonders
In Israel it seems that the church I found is too good to be true
Where garments rolled in blood will be used as burning fuel of fire
This will be my zeal for tomorrow
And if my angel shows up
I hope not to turn him away empty handed
Of the increase of his government of peace...








Inasmuch
5-11-15


Inasmuch as these people
Refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly
I quote these passages
That I might know the power of the sword
Where Assyrian armies bringing darkness and death
Would be the first to rejoice
In the light brought by the preaching of Christ
I think to have found the optimum congregation
For my tastes, new flavor
In a palate for rock and roll
At first lightly esteemed
And then soon to be exalted above measure
Where thou shalt rejoice
In every good thing God has given thee
Inasmuch gird yourselves and be made whole...
