Fifteen Steps
2-28-16

Fifteen steps leading to the court
Where these Psalms are sung
I count my privileges to bear them as dung
Gnashing my teeth and coughing up a lung
For ascetic and emotional restraint
Lie down for one hour until you find it
There will be empty corridors in old schools
Where ghosts try to break the silence
I caught but one hour on the sun
All for cool jazz for our Cajun
For which I face the dawn
I will lift up mine eyes to the hills
O, go thy way
And as thou believed
So be it done unto thee
Give me understanding....




Where Tribes Go Up
2-28-16

I watch the skies with all defenses down
Praise God for another sunrise
In the selfsame hour I have earned my crown
For Cajun ancestry and no such partiality
Our feet have been standing within your gates
Weather calls for almost sixty today
That it might be fulfilled which is spoken by Esaias
He took our infirmities and bare our sickness
They still say take care
I will now say, "Peace be within you"
Where the tribes go up and fill again the cup
Touch her land and the fever will leave
As one to rejoice and no more grieve.....






Joyful Anticipation
2-28-16

Five leaf clover
It is more than my own invention
Into a sky that's clear
Foxes have holes and birds have nests
He gives commandment to depart unto the other side
One hour till it's time to go
All for love and not for pride
Peace be within your walls
Thank you for all of your wakeup calls
He would not allow your foot to be moved
Spring soon arrives
Astounding skies are proved
And I love them exceedingly
Today's going to be a beautiful day
I pray for the will to just enjoy it
Just ease into it so was the answer to my prayer....
