thenceforward

Thenceforward
10-15-15

Breaking down time into increments
I'm all set to go there and taste something sweeter
Seek first the kingdom and all of these things will be added to you
Do not fret for the morrow for such shall take thought of the things of itself
He shall exalt himself in his heart for books on the shelf
My gift is packed like pebble
As I am yet the rebel
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek
I mean no partiality in such a statement
Therefore take no thought thenceforward
Still groping in the dark by the broad light of day.....




Champing At The Bit
10-15-15

O, Lord awesome and great
Hand to me the sword but not for hate
I want to be somewhere
We have not obeyed the voice
But we can always return
To that narrow way and walk the line
Lord, you know I don't have a friend like you
All transgressed your law
Soon I will be there to testify
O, call my name
For Gabriel the man of God
Such an angel for the following days
Two thousand and three hundred
I know it's going to work out just fine
Of whirring and buzzing champing at the bit
For another home run hit
Or at least second base will do....





Glad To Gather
10-15-15

We gild our garrets with gold
Glad to gather
To give an often deceiving attractive or improved appearance
Fogherty almost has me to remember my drinking days
Up and down the coast seven stops one way and five stops come my return
The hard way I had to learn
Judge not that ye be not judged
Our mete and boundary line to limit
To measure for all pain and pleasure
And these necessary opposing forces
She still thinks I care
Set before us by his servants and prophets
Before I go again I comb my hair...
