Salty
7-7-12

Excessive saline sustenance
Is essential for the blood cleansed
By way of cold water
Made hot for the stew
Of which I am yet to partake
During the heatwave that needs not be contrary
Taking it one day at a time
With the high sodium levels
Acclimated by all that we condone
As I read my left palm
Yet not to divine
That which is not in our hands to control...





Lucky Flush
7-7-12

For a higher purpose
My toilet only flushes halfway
Where lady luck does her work tonight
Yet I ought not boast in something not yet promised
As I break out the coffee to give me more of the runs of the same
Playing it by ear as if playing in my dreams
A game where God gives me only what I can handle.....





If I Only Knew
7-7-12

If only I knew then
That the hard rain was going to fall
I would have chosen a higher road of other choices
That I cannot go back in time to yet revise
Working with this void left by a cat that passed on into the next world
Leaving me with Grace reclining right next to me
In that I am just a man under God's care of plenteous provision....





On Mica 1:5,6
7-7-15

O, what is the transgression of Jacob
But our Samaria
Where good men stop by to lend a hand
Into which tonight I spill my seed
For which God could smite me if it were his will
As this Samaria is made as a heap of the field
And as the plantings of the vineyard
Where in quoting this beautiful Scripture
I am not the plaigerist
But a messenger with a good cause
To cheer up these good Samaritans
That have been discouraged along the way....
