Mari

At Mari (I Don't Know You)
1-5-18

All for the union of the groom and the bride
Our flood starts from the old Babylonian
In the kingdom of Mari
stand back and observe on our long journey to Canaan
Real as anything you see on the turnstile of the promised land
I don't know you under the yoke of the Philistines
Stand back and behold from the Nile to Jordan
Under desert skies
Get alive for Kodak moments of my gaming days
Not a competition of racking up points
But an experience of hand-eye coordination
Where Lorrel immures in the unique power
And agency of covering
Get alive with warriors from Caphtor
O, copper king lay down the law
As to sing nourished by meat raw....





Glisten
1-5-18

In the bright things that bluster
I need to shut up and listen
Our Father whom art in heaven
I can read you loud and clear
As Sopher keeps the imperial annals
Given a short cut to mushrooms dipped in ranch
From Rehoboam to Jeholachin
I hear you calling me on our expedition to Yemen
And flight to the Ford double
Today the tale and quota of brick
Commanded to be quick
Given a thousand and one ways to confidence
Lift up and carry me for our indespensable collection
Of wise sayings that do us no good unless it is practiced
Under the shadow of purity as power laden to the yoke of Assyria
To the beginning...





Doing Something With It
1-5-18

On proud look and lying tongue
Ruin not my testimony today wherein everyone wants to be confident
And there are programs out there for facing ones fear
To not just stand and stare but heed and hear
And do something with it
As reduced to a crust of bread we toss to the ducks
In things we cannot fix a newfangled remix in countless ways
We find it in the most ordinary of places
Praying to know that Jesus is your savior
As to acknowledge Him as the king of the dominion upside down
As compared to the world in it but not of it
Where we all make mistakes down by the railway
Siding obtaining a part of the ministry
And then to move onward....
