I Used To Drink Around The Fire
3-29-18

God wants our love but not our sacrifice
In these dog years and burning log fears
That bring to my eyes tears
Where we'd gather round and drink and between sentences
Of conversation think
With a sense of kinship and warm days on their way
To calm the frequent fliers for ministry and its ambition we are confided
Yea, we are bold as I succor and learn of other spiritual truths
For the death that still has work to do
Remaining intensely personal for the walks by faith
And not by sight that God commands still dying to be as living
For badly needed prestige
Today I learn of different things
Knowing God has more in store
That we cannot but perceive nor fathom.....






Restless Key
3-29-18

Rest in peace, firemen
God is happy with you for this sacrifice in Alighieri
Let's dance tonight for a restless key to see amazing things
In the conduct of human affairs as Jesus cares and Buddha brings wares
Broiled almost to perfection our flounder and cod
Praise God even when we find it odd
I believed and therefore I spoke
But I was just spinning wheels and blowing smoke
I believe I'm going to make it in spite of these eccentricities by our outward man perishing
And these things I'm still cherishing
To say Alas, don't follow me of moving motives
Chipping away the stone for directions and guideposts on Erie's rocky coasts
Addressing the big question O, is there more to it than only confession and belief
Pleading through us....

Still working on it
To establish to dread of going to work
To fill them in with the details in this acceptable time
show and tell
I bring along my old and amazing cat
Saying hello to Yeshe giving into perfection
Watching from the fence
All I write today is for you
Soon again of sound mind
Open your heart and awaken your mind
Make a new start
I see what we can find
As though God is pleading through us
In a Spirit of crying
Out to be saved again today from myself from the human viewpoint exhibit
I ask for the you that is in me from now on
We regard it as quite necessary so I run a vacuum and get on with it......





Yeshe
3-29-18

Hearts wide open as minds ought to be to new ideas
To a mythical life history and another wonderful mystery
And the most important work I do by the light of May
Equal days and nights upon sleights and their flights for MacBain
Behold all things become new in me and you where doctrine is the glue
In a sense of proportion as my heart changes overnight
In dreams of winter gardens and silver blues of silence
And golden rues but no such violence
O, what a fool I was as in the day of salvation
I assist mules plowing the cart with full force
A horse of course
Committing to us the word of reconciliation
In our leading spokesmen in hope that you believe
And stick in there till the very end
One day in the Lord one thousand years.....
