Exfoliate
12-20-12
Yet to molt and exfoliate the outer covering
To love less in the things we hate
In that one would serve in order to be called great
Yet to shed the scales from ones eyes
To shine light upon the dark
To exhume the lies where all shadow needs to flee
In this presence by which we can know ourselves
By the light of day that we can see behind closed eyes
That search our hearts with all diligence....
Portion
12-20-12
Corn and wheat
Is the portion of that which is available
And then broccoli later on to melt upon it the butter
For further flavoring to embellish and to whitewash such
In order to set the stage for the actors yet to be real
And exactly the way that they are
In all they have to say
In that my pine scented candle burns slowly
So that incense can yet waft into the room
Evoking the memory of last night's dreams
Of getting back to work on it....
No Need Save The Word
12-20-12
Today I have no other need
Save the word and its glory
Shining upon dark areas of this sanctuary of sorts
By which every word written here yet exhorts
With twelve manners of fruits at these twelve gates embroidled
With precious stones of which I have not words to describe
Nor can I try to make such a visible commodity
According to the flesh to be but perceived where we are yet to see strange things
Come tomorrow if the good Lord is willing....

theophany
Theophany
12-20-12
Theophanies of divine manifestations
Are what I come up with
On this so called last day of what we know
Of a world waxing cold
As the Solstice makes her way to town
And the days will grow longer
Once again with theophanies in epiphanies
In things yet discovered along this narrow way
Through the woods to lead us to another mountain
Where water is no longer scarce
When it flows into the valleys of all benediction....
Sober Since Then
12-20-12
Addle brained and petty
On my meatballs and spaghetti
Where the English language is a very strange way to understand
The way things really are in the things we can perceive
By our five senses in that I make my quota in a visit next door
Of a prophet of sorts clad in multicolored shorts
On this to be called the final day of the world as we know it
Addle brained and petty
Even when not quite as inebriated
As I once was in times of need
That just is at it is....

regency
Regency
12-20-12
In regency and jurisdiction
Judged are the ways of one who yet wanders in the wilderness
Yet to face on our way out
Into our wooded areas of wonder and weal and woe
In the gnashing of teeth upon hangnails of contentment
In smoke and steam to serve as the elements of all blessings and bounty
Where when we expect nothing more then everything will be as our subsidy
Set to the theme of such a narrow path leading us through...
On Revelation 21:23
12-20-12
Such a city had no need of the light of such celestial bodies
Wherein God will be the light by which we see our way through
Gates of pearl in that I let my neighbors come to me
If they desire any manner of social contact
By the light of all that is divine in this city of righteousness
According only to position upon this throne of tender mercies
In no need for such a light from celestial bodies
When God will serve as such....

cautery
Cautery
12-20-12
Treating courage with cautery
Cautious on the path that will lead us through the dark forest
To the east where we are yet to travel on foot
With plentiful provisions of porridge and plunder of pumpkin pie
Where the truth will shine its light upon the lie
Nursed this afternoon on hot tea of herbs meet
For the soothing of the soul
In all comfort and joy
To have confidence in
By our way on through....

Dedication
12-20-12
On this day dreary devoted to readings of Tolkien
And Grateful Dead bootlegs
I can see a light shine in my forest of fruitful faith
That I cannot see with open eyes
As the substance of things not seen
Yet to partake in another divine appointment
With my advocate I read about between the lines of chapters prosperous
Of which I am proud of
Because of this God I lean upon
Travelling the path that will see us through....

mirkwood
My Mirkwood
12-20-12
The brides of the Lamb prevail in the faith
That saves he whom yet wanders in ones personal Mirkwood forest dense and thick
And quite dark where light so shines upon its main path
Going to such a marriage feast
Yet to hunger in that we are fillled
Like a celebration of a new beginning
In the so-called end of the world as we know it
Yet to meet along the path our angels with their vials
Filled with the prayers to be poured out in our admixture....
On Revelation 21:10
12-20-12
Shown plainly a city of promise
Descending from the heavens to be the abode
Of those whom are in search of rest
While upright upon ones feet
Adorned with the gospel of peace
To bring to the places of our plenty
In the uncertainty of times that are tight
Wherein all I know to do here and now is to write....
Backwoods Life
12-20-12
Isolated in my backwoods life
To choose a path that will carry me to the other side
Where light is seen at the east edge of our greatest forest
Yet to cross in nimble strides of the passion said to be our love
To consciously choose as an act of ones will
Back to face the music in the silence broken
In our backwoods life condoned
In that such is conducive
In our prayer and fasting...
Corn And Wheat
12-20-12
Corn and wheat will suffice
For a late lunch
Where I write these rhymes by instinct
Of my gut that has its own hunch
In the curvature of the backbone of my integrity
Kept in the midst of sustenance known
In that indeed we are holding out
On what is called our last day on earth
Where I trust in God
That all will be well with my soul....

Alpha
The Alpha And Omega
12-20-12
Yet to behold the Alpha and Omega
Before our eyes with hopes of a new beginning
In what they call the end of times
Where all that matters is the writing of today's rhymes
Yet to behold the beginning and the end
In that all things are made new
In the hopes of the change that saves us all from ourselves
In times of trials....
Sling
12-20-12
Flippant, shallow and glib
Was the latest description of ones floating rib
Drifting down a brook of affliction
Where five smooth stones are chosen for ones sling
To take on ones Goliath
He is to meet on the darkest of days
Where it seems as if the sun has never risen upon the earth
Soon to be white just in time for Christmas day that comes quickly
Like the thief in the night....
Hoist
12-20-12
Hoisting the burden of my backpack
Where I get out my new journal
To take notes on the main events of the shift in season with serenity
Seemingly serving as security
In the prop to maintain my integrity
In the crowd on this so called last day on earth
Where I put my trust in the providence that will save us from ourselves
Hoisting the burden carried to yet strengthen the things that remain....
