Signet
8-25-12

With the symbol of the sun is my signet
So that I might be identified with something significant
As a song writer of words
To be a blessing to all that read and listen to these words
Being put forth in my requiting of the love
That today has come my way
In that I know that God is watching
Even while no one else sees just where I'm coming from....




Butler's Dream
8-25-16

A vine with three branches that is budded
Brings forth clusters of ripe grapes
In a dream I had of reverting back into wine bidding
Days of excess that was my reason to keep living
Looking forward to our all nighter
Of vigils in Scripture and drink
So that I would need not too much think
Yet I had a complete change of lifestyle since then
With God as my witness in my dream of this vine
Bringing forth ripe grapes....





I, Overseer
8-25-12

I choose to play the part of some kind of overseer
In that I present my intercession
To all that are present at the feast
When I sit at home and have a feast of my own
Picturing myself sitting at a table with my brethren
As if I were there already
Playing the part of the nonconformist seagull
Flying his own way
Provided the bread already
Even when I am not there in the flesh
Yet my thoughts and prayers are with them all...





My Evening With Lydia
8-25-12

Lydia, the seller of Purple
And her whole house were baptized
Constraining the guests to come on in and have bread
In that my only rebellion is not being physically present at the feast
With folks I can pray for
As if I were in the midst
Sitting alone with Lydia
The seller of Purple
Stitching the threads of this lonesome heart
Content with being the overseer
Of they whom sup there without me....
