For our reconciling work
All are worthy even the jerk
And you who were once alienated
To reconcile all things unto himself
For a worm of hope
He is before all things
And by him all things consist
Hearts knit together in love
What a great conflict I have for you
For a hangman's rope
And the danger from persuasive words
Absent in the flesh
But with You in Spirit
Incarnating the fullness of Christ
The fount of wisdom
Of our fragmentation....

Nobody's fault but mine
O, would it be easier if I had someone to blame
Cut you loose from a chain gang
The workmen melt a graven image
And the goldsmith fashions another statue
To whom will he liken God
Or what likeness will you compare unto Him
Quote the Scriptures
Keep them guessing
A whole new ballgame
Lengthened to Him as less than nothing
If such a thing can be
With shattering of the fragments
Yet biggish, yet benevolent
Yet bestial
He that is impoverished
Chose a tree that won't rot
So walk ye in him...





At The Chime Of Nine
2-2-16

In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
The bible is more than a textbook in any collage
Making known the riches of the glory of this mystery
On another solid and jammed packed day for the magistrate
Come creed of the devil
Inscribed in our minds
At the chime of nine
Soon I'm ready to go
Seedy, shabby and worm out some reel
In a rainbow trout yet ovoid
And sometimes paranoid yet ovate
It is nothing to hate
Somewhat disreputable and squalid
Cogent convincing and valid
In the shadows of Sulphur
May us strike a match....
