Kirjathjearim

Come our riot of emotions
By the quiet of her devotions
And as to mend ones errant ways
Loving as they get going for seeds to be sowing
And a deeper meaning of such a thing as this
Giving not up the principle
Lest momentarily in our traffic jam
Of potatoes and ham
And to renounce Satan
Back to the field of Joshua
Our Bethsherite faith is a mansion of many rooms
For our Phoenicians overhead the albatross hanging motionless
By Zidonians come men of Kirjathjearim
We are....





On First Samuel 7:11-12

For the gods of our Phoenicians abaft
Crane sits beside the girl
That chooses to receive a lie
In order to cope with harsh realities
Dangling to the flood
This is what I'm meant to do about it
As her curious eyes take a rest
And twilight puts me to the test
Mother Mary in which I today invest
It's where I come from
Yet it's been misunderstood
As to put away Balaam and Ashtoreth
Then to Beth-car
She is beautiful by far
Calling the stone Ebenezer
In that God helped and saved us.....






Altar Revisited
5-23-17

Returning home to Ramah
Learning of our drama
Referring to additional notes
Taking on Atman and Brahma
Giving it another chance
Choosing not to sit out this dance
Between Mizpeh and shed blood for peace
Between Israel and the Amorites
Where even Gomorrah is a beautiful place
Building there our altar
I was eight in the early eighties
But I never made it with the ladies
Come sunshine and yet to do much paperwork
For a strange friendly pity
Dedicated to God's other city....

Limp udder fallen down
Wanting to curb that taste not ashamed to call us brethren
And nothing goes to waste
As Jesus tastes death for every man
A hard act to follow
But with God all things are possible
As to anoint you with the oil of gladness
And flowers bloom in soils of madness
Seeing a good sign
In that cat plays with my headphone cord
As if she were still a kitten
In the Lord so the taste is cured
As thou remain upon the throne
Of our forever kingdom  today
Today as partakers of this heavenly calling
She is fast asleep...
