What’s an Imagination For?
Black trees with golden leaves
How can I see such as these?
But yet,
There it is
& to me You do bequeath
The impossible to see
My imagination rises
Without mere eyes
Things to be seen
At each twist & turn
It surprises
Me more and more
As my spirit soars
Above this earth
Takes wings to adore
Your Holy Face
Dearest Lord,
Is that not what an imagination
Is mostly for?

Gratitude – A Thanks Giving
Taking our punishment on Himself
Until of all physical life was He bereft
Of all our failures, darkest sins
Were we completely cleansed
Until none of it was left
In return for this should we not
At least a few moments a day
Let go,
Our own careless ways to stop
And say one Thank You!

Morning Prayer - A Beautiful Day!
Come Lord Jesus
Let’s have a beautiful day!
Keep my eyes focused up
Toward your ever flowing cup
Of Your Purest Joy & Love
Thank you for letting me look above
Toward your beaming, smiling Face
Unending Overwhelming Mercy & Grace
Of this, I desperately need
A very large spoonful’s taste!
Help me stay focused off
The chaotic darkness below
Our wars, pain & greed
Allowing me to clearly perceive
Your Radiant Perfection’s Glow
A different way & place to live
Is what you always wished to give
Eternity’s paradise, those opened gates
To a much better place
And the overwhelming beauty
Found only on your Holy Face!
The First
Christ must come first
Everything else a poor second
As you listen to His voice
So sweetly trill & beckon
Return to me
I will return to you
A new day will break forth
Ensue!
A sun unlike any other
Will roll & rise
A shining, sparkling
New planet
To be beheld with widened eyes
To live in a new universe
These second-hand words
I now rehearse
Taken from the writings
Of an ancient Holy Book
I am allowed to delight in reciting!
Three Great Lies
Three great lies pervade the air
Most of these people to hear do not care
So to be honest, of these three
If you will forgive,
I will try, dare to share
An enemy, that satan, first will tell you
Each, every & of us, all,
(He’s been struggling to push this
Since in a garden we had our great fall)
It is,
There is no god, he does not exist
The second one does not bring so much bliss
It is
God does not love you even if He does exist
This is one which we must fully resist
If God does not love, then why the cross
Where for Him & an Eternal Son,
Was such an extreme & blood-filled cost?
And last but most certainly not the least
God is not all-powerful, not in full control
For millennia this lie has unequivocally been sold
& told to a dark & dying world
Man is just as smart & able his own destiny
To control
Such things get determinedly pushed
More today than I’ve ever seen
In this chaotic world’s quest to reach
For whatever in one heartbeat
At any particular moment is deemed
For us to be pleasant
The truth?,
We are not our own god
Never have been, never will we be
Truth stands knocking
If you will dare to see
The Eternal, All-Powerful Truth,
Perfection,
God holds within His Loving Hand
Ready & willing to be received
(If you choose)
By each woman, child or man!!
In The Above
In the above, those celestial skies
Surely, God must shake His head & sigh
‘Will they never learn’?
He watches as we all despise
His love’s most generous guidelines
But still I suppose
As only He most assuredly knows
& so forward & on He goes
Still trying our souls to win
Keep us from that damning sin
Of our total & defiant rebellion
But,
Lucky for us,
Our God is not a quitter
We are the ones
Who turn our backs & run
From
His wonderful perfect grace
Reflected in Beauty’s Love on His Face
So,
Be different from the rest
Do not put God to the test
Stay, live to enjoy
Those Eternal Pleasures in store
Between Infinity’s Gates they await!
