Preference
3-24-14

If cigarettes and coffee are not my heaven
I would like to know just what is
According to that which is not seen
I see not but believe with a joy unspeakable
Keeping the oil in these lamps to shine my light in darkness
Of which is my preference
Reporting towards where I come from
In remembrance of the Word of God
And what He has done for me
Strengthening the things that remain
In rejoicing by the light of the sun
Where I have this reputation of being alive
While I am dead
According to the promise
That we will be resurrected someday.....




Avidya

According to my object referral
I see myself in all that is taken up
I see the true me in another coffee cup
And when you know yourself
You access the happiness at its source
Yet to behold my red heifer and my pale horse
Riding upon her into battle
But taking no force by my still small voice
That whispers, "Resist nothing"
Falling into a void for the cause
Even of self referral
To identify with my true being
Instead by the absence of true knowledge
And the presence of our wisdom
Of our daily bread....





Ode To The Heart Of Matters
3-24-14

Strengthen all that remains
That which is about to die
Being today the reaper of seeds and grains
Not one to ask of the why
But still I inquire of the higher purpose
In this writing to the heart of matters
Thinking on all that is right
Yeah, it's a sunshiny day
As seeds this poet scatters
Where we are to be that light
Just like Jesus in that He says
"You'll be alright"
Needing to keep watch and stay engaged
As Christians dead to the self and alive to love
To value the life I have in Him
Yeah, His life is in me
Within, beyond and above....
