Flitter Away
Sad
To watch
It flitter about
Even it twitters about
Stalls. Crashes.
Falls.
This waste of precious time
Throwing away of minds
Reaching for the subpar
Mundane, mediocre
(Or less than)
When instead
We could touch the sublime
The mind (&heart) of God
Calls out to us
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every moment a test
Of your reply
Call out to Him
He'll call out even louder
Return to you even more power
To every moment, each hour
Live in the basking
Glow of His face
So we will no longer
Have to trace
That wretched waste
(The flitter away)
Of our precious life's time!!!
Praise
Praise even harder
As satan squeezes tighter
For you know
Jesus is a fighter
Never giving up
satan has no knockout punch
Delivering in just one tremendous blow
Jesus raised a bloodied fist
From that wooden cross
Only one wham
then a bam
Christ just sighed
then He died
Finally relaxed
Had finished His task
& just went out to lunch!!!
We Say
I say this
You say that
Words flying thru the air
Tossed into that great hat
Of a world's opinions
Changing almost by the hour
Quickly coming in increasing showers
From the human ever restless heart
At an ancient beginning, our start
No end in sight to this
Our dark, yet most refin-ed art
In opposition to more elevated words
Trying strongly man's destiny to turn
Spun from heaven's celestial higher calling
Still we stumble, tumble over our mispronuciations to continue falling
Over our own words
We ruin ourselves our lives
With crude, more crass words every day
When will we ever learn the
Value in those words
our only God has such to say?
God's words can lift us higher
Ignite in us once more a Spirit's fire
Able to lift out of a dark murk & mire
Of our own creating
We should listen
To what God has to say
With His shining verbal pearls
Enhancing all our days
Speaking crystal shards of truth
To deny satan's stabbing wounds
As in eternity an ancient enemy's darkness
God forever will at last exclude!!!
Follow
Many slogans, jargon
Thrown out,
Fly around our heads
Words spoken
That get said
By poorly educated sources
Follow your dreams
Follow your own heart
I wish for a start
These words would
Come to light
Follow your God,
Jesus Christ
Oh,
Containing such might!
What a different world
Would we see
If from a bended knee
We took a different perspective
As a group collective
Would be more effective
If we ceased to worship
The self
So follow the only truly One,
Holy Father, Spirit Son
Who can give more than
We are able to imagine
Perfect love, joy, peace
If we began to follow Him
With a deep radical passion
I tremble with exhilaration
At the thought, what could happen!
A different, better world if
We followed His heart
Rather than merely following
Our own
Better life for all would
Most certainly to be shown
As closer & closer to Him
We have grown
& deeper into our hearts
His Divine Light has been sown!!
