Thoughts

His thoughts
Towards us
Are many.

Do we
Reciprocate
With any?

If We Would

He stretched
S  p  a  c  e
Like a curtain
And seeded
The well of gravity

But when we
Preferred the mire
He fashioned wood
To cradle us
In the fold of purity

If we would.

I Met a Poem

I met a poem
Once
All unaware
She was one

She did for
The least of these
And was told
Twas for the Son

She submits
Her scheme
To follow
His theme

Her metre
Marking time
To His beat
Her rhymes
Line by line
Toll complete

And raises
Others up
With no thought
To her own

By which was shown
We too can poems be
Songs formed
On the lips of God.

Imaginary Friend?

Some suppose
A belief in God
To be a
Misplaced claim
Or at its
Lowly best
“There, there,
That’s no way
To use your brain.”

“The poor clod
Is merely clinging
To a friend
Imaginary.”
So suggests
My adversary

If such be the case
With you
What say that you
Seek the answer to
Who imagined you?

Day Five Hundred Five #DiaryoftheEndoftheWorld

Jordan has not left our side since we discovered one another yesterday. And Elijah wasted no time in seeing to his instruction. He has big plans for him. Or more accurately stated God does.

It has something to do with the people here in the slum, or more specifically with those who have expressed a desire to understand  the meaning of the times in which we live.
The promised things are closer now than ever before.

A battle is ongoing for the allegiance of the peoples of this metropolis. Those in the well-to-do sectors have already surrendered to it, for they clearly see that their continued prosperity depends upon their submission.

Next they will seduce the slums.

Hide and Seek

We hide
From each other
From ourselves
From God

We disguise
Our thoughts
Our feelings
Our wounds

He sees
Through our disguises
To where we are hiding
He hears
The cry of our hearts
Of our inmost deep sighing
He knows
Through and through
Inside we are dying

He cares, so…He seeks

He seeks
And will not stop
Having counted the cost
He sweeps
High and low
For the coin that was lost
He braves
The dark, tooth and claw
For the sheep tempest-tossed

He cares, and He desires
That you would care too
And join in the game
And let Him send you.

Humility

To be a sweet savor
A prize above all price.

First,
Beware the lust of the flesh.
Then,
The lust of the eyes
And finally
the pride of life.

In short
Stay humble
Before God
And man

And live the Amen
Amen and Amen
And Amen.

(For p.d.f.)

No Contest

God’s love is strong

Yet a tiny human will can resist

By being stronger

But as to which is the greater

That I leave for you to ponder.

The One I Love

 

The one I love

Loves the sea

Down by its roaring edge

She likes to be teased.

She joyously dances

Over each wave that advances

Watching curl upon curl

Unfurl and unfurl.

Now don’t think it odd

I think she is at play with God.

 

For the one I love

Loves the sea

And from its roaring edge

She smiles her love to me.
