Sardis

Sardis
3-24-14

Sardis was a city set on the top of a mountain
That could not be hidden
By reason of our longing
For water from our forever flowing fountain
By our sword, bow and belt
Our thirst doth yet but melt
As so comes forth a finger of a man's hand
Where my cogitations much trouble me
In hopes to come to understand
Writing this message upon my own wall
Standing barefoot in the sand
Where high tides wash over my feet
But at least I am standing on dry land
Where I have been crucified with Christ
And therefore not as one to live for only myself
Hoping to be as one to no longer live in fear or doubt....





Stepping Out Of The Way
3-24-14

Learning how to step out of the way
And let Jesus do his thing
Where it's no longer about just me
Yet I find it in me to raise my voice to sing
O, where is my enemy now
O, where is Death's sting
By this spiritual bushwhack
Where I find my golden ring
Supposing its signet to be significant
And subtle in my writing about the dead man
Of you know who
Where in this my God makes all things new
Putting to death all that I leave behind
To press forward to all that is true
Where I must decrease and He will increase
As He lives through me
Learning how to step out of the way
And let Jesus do his thing....





Insecure
3-24-14

Our ego is actually insecure
Thought of as one to boast in ones confidence
Like a millionaire I walk the streets like a beggar
Because I have forgotten all that I hold in my hand
Where true Being is not created by external things
We can but see or touch
Where our trying to be a good man is the grand illusion
To test and try the reigns of the mind
That hungers and thirsts for more
And now I am left in the silence
To think only to turn up the volume
So that I won't sink....
