English

English Tongue Is Spoken
1-5-1

Acting on that faith
Doing something with what you are taught
The walk is more than the talk
A hard medicine to administer
In filthy sloughs and clean souls
By nature of the higher calling
Awning adrift
Stay in where it's wars much as possible
In humanity a mass of wretchedness
Goodbye river and hello sound
Where I haven't touched yet my D.H. Lawrence
Among the chosen for to take it on
As to delight in things fair and sweet
Still subject to noxious notions
Where it is my chief desire to do the right thing
As to the wicked the truth is hard
Down on third street
The counsel of Elrond
Of comparison and contrast.....





God Keep My Mind Today
1-5-18

God keep my mind today with all diligence
With Orphean enchantment audible to the accountable
And a pile of books just to look upon
Plenty of resources
Hoping to keep the pages open
To passages suitable for doctrine
To receive our spiritual inheritance
In Theocritus
O, my love rocking here is what it seems
As I lie upon the surface
In hopes to dive deep
Like a duck in darkness
Given almost infinite resources
In literature and art
In the bible as a history
A dusty time taken out from the closet
Our confirmation of the Book of books
In the fertile crescent
Digging up the flood....
