Handpicked

Remembering Indiana Jones
You have chosen wisely and found the right cup
Observing a cat hair on my bible page to remind me of Grace
Like a good apple, by God I am handpicked
Starting out the day with Floyd bootlegs
Yet to enter into a bloodline
Reading Ezra
Theme: return of the remnant
I pray that my night serves a purpose
For our Cyrus and our sun
Proclaiming that the temple be rebuilt
While we're still on the run
Where another python constricts....




Spirit Guides To Troas
1-1-16

My rump was getting sore
Sitting on the sidewalk
While waiting for my ride
I have the whole weekend ahead of me
To do my thing practicing my freedom of religion
Having never learned our amendments
On the corner of Market and Queen
I blow that scene
All for coffee and scintillating conversation
Lingering and loitering
She gave me a book to be a witness
About becoming the real me
Gazing across my street
Seeing that all along it is safe to venture out
For a morning fix.....




Jotting Down Notes
1-1-16

Jotting down notes involving the street life for one hour
To see how the other half live
Given my wage before my face
Seeing that life is sweet
On the first morning of the new year
Keep the hope that God has another seed
You have the DNA of Almighty God
You come from a long line of champions
Out for a quick fix and that's an order
He'd turn your circumstances around
And use them to your advantage
Slept into eleven, oft refreshed
Ambiguous
Jotting down notes....






Back Up At Eleven
1-1-16

Keep hope that God has another seed for me to sow
Manage and cope that the rod has another reed yet to know
Take Him at His word
We will deliver thee
Out of our greatest rejection
Comes our greatest direction
O, what do I play next
As if in the resurrection
If convicted swaggering into the relationship with God
Commanded so you can be filled with joy
Like the oak tree when planted in a pot
Its growth is limited
Others do not determine your potential
I've got a friend somewhere....
