Cessation
6-23-15

A light meal permitted on fast days
Our collection for ague and hot flashes
For me and you generous stashes
Let us not judge one another
The word is love and it's right for me
That no man put a stumblingblock
Or an occasion to fall in his brother's way
Where sweet dreams console the future
I know and am persuaded
That there is nothing unclean of itself
It stinks in here but I will make due
Let not them your good be evil spoken of
And the Word is love....





Groined
6-23-15

Soon in our minds
Forever Now
For the kingdom of God is not meat or drink
Giving us a chance to stop and think
I'm ready for what's coming next
Looking for a darker font for more of its simplistic text
For he that in these things serve
And we get more than what we deserve
Acceptable and proven
Of men wonderful in its flowing from this pen
Groined in my gumption I begin again....






Tracery
6-23-15

To know and to Grok
To again roll away the rock
To pick the lock to understand profoundly even the profane
Our tracery of interlaced and branching lines
Still I need to put it in my past
The tasting of all those sweet wines
Our lacy openwork in our Gothic window
O, can we see through such
And with our inward parts get back in touch
With our tracery
Sometimes the air gets too cold
Yet still healthy and hale
In God's love that will not fail....





On Romans 14:23
6-23-15

May us therefore follow after things that make for peace
Wondering where lights go in that I pray and not cease
As well as after things wherewith one may edify
For meat destroys not the work of God
As all things indeed are pure
Hast thou faith
Are you complete, perfect and mature
It is finished and we are entitled to more
As he that doubt is damned if he eat when not of faith
Biting the apple down to the core
And the peach down to her pit
Go ahead and eat if conscience permits....
