Astonishing Again
3-3-18

As silence and darkness
Serves as my music and joy
As elder oaks observe all aspens of coniferous pines
Beginning to see good signs
No explanation is necessary
where poetry is so much more than just roses are red
For my salvation from generation to generation
He said I wouldn't understand
But now I'm coming around to it
Where joy and soundness is to be found in it
O, thank you intercessors
My life is in His hands
Today and tomorrow and always
Where freedom knows no bounds
Stand up, O Jerusalem where cups drain out
Putting a little bit of everyone in my pail
Loose yourselves from the bonds of your neck
Found again at every sharp and wide turn
Extending across all barriers
Peace will be bestowed in the Quorum of thirteen.....





Gamble Again
3-3-18

Bet your britches and gamble gay garments
With other detailed resemblances
O, look to Christ and enjoy each moment
In a perfect brightness of hope and new ways to but cope
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for
Greeting Baker White in hopes to this time around get it right
God lead me to that better life they speak of
During this pivotal time kicking rumpus
For the evidence of things not seen
Proving common descent in every inequality
Pain is real in the cut that bleeds
O, mighty storm
O, pulverize my seas
And like a dove I take to the trees
As like the snake I'll be on my knees
In that He wants me to become
Bet your britches....





Today (No Work Servile)
3-3-18

Showing no signs yet of fatigue
As such a word is not out of our league
In steadfastness in the love of God and all men
O, wretched man that I am to grow out of the cocoon
And rise above it soon
But no longer to haunt my conscious mind
At the opening of the gates
Stepping on the sidelines
Looking through the stained glass and seeing color in her extreme
O, warmth and sunlight do your best to console
As my living quarters  need not be my prison hole
Whose life will never fail
O, Lord redeem my soul
And help me to today set one goal
Where God's laws break you
Surreptitiously for the evidence of His hand in me
I take my first steps into a beautiful congregation
By my faith I will sit and stand
O, presiding minister
God is a God of more and and.....
