It's My Birthday
5-23-17

Shining Spirit through champion eyes
As behold she stands before me
Offering three bullocks and a bottle of wine
As to judge and weigh
And let May be just May
Where thirty thousand fell
With much to buy and sell
At Ebenezer with stories to tell
Wake up you're dreaming
Israel at Ebenezer
Pitched where thirty thousand fell
And at ten thirty I turn forty four
Ark is taken, Eli's sons slain
And all these words are not in vain
As Ichabod is born
Stopping by the roadside
For the soles of my burning shoes
Taking pride...




Bethshemesh
5-23-17

It's just your show for a little while
To feel the wind in my hair
As Israel is smitten
And my elder cat thinks she is a kitten
As Samuel is established
And meant to be a prophet
Not purged by sacrifice forever
There is much glory come crop and craw
For Gaza and Acheron
As the men of Bethshemesh smote fifty thousand and twenty
For coffer and chest and today going west
All for our maw and to lay down the law
For a secret hearing now that skies are clearing
Boldly into that other world
Where it all can be....
