Swallowed by the Sun

 
 
 Swallowed by the Sun
  
  
 The Sun
 That Fiery burning orb
 Of our earth he is the lord
 For surely, all life here below
 without its heated glow
 Would die
  
 Be dark
 Encrusted by the cold
 Death for every plant,
 animal, 
 Would soon ensue
 Even for me & you
  
 For sure 
 It is a paradox
 Yet, Swallowed by the sun
 No one could survive
 Burnt to a crisp
 I most assuredly would die
  
 However. . . ,
 There is another sun
 More glorious than you
 To be swallowed 
 By this SON
 Only brings us to
  
 Love, joy 
 PEACE
 Beyond my poor
 Ability 
 To see
 Or 
 Understand 
  
 So swallow me Lord Jesus
 Engulf me in your glory
 It is my same old story.
 For You, 
 My pain-filled heart bleeds
 Only Your precious warmth
 Brings the life I truly need
  
 Inside your burning light
 I am allowed to see
 Eternity
 So I fall to my knees
 Beg, implore
  
 Swallow me Lord
 Let me live, breathe, exist
 Inside
 Your Glistening, 
 Golden Glory!!

The Flying V!

 
  
 The Flying V
  
 It flies, zooms
 Moving so fast
 At first I cannot see
 What this flying
 Abstraction, monstrosity
 Must be
 It is a flying V!
  
 It moves, zips
 With so much speed
 I cannot see
 Its shape
 So I reach an arm
 Upward
 To reach for its tip
  
 At firsts it eludes
 But I continue to
 Pursue
 Until I reach 
 Triumphant
 Into the air
 Then turn to stare
  
 At what lies 
 Trembling
 Within my hands
 It is the letter 
 V
 Well, this was not
 Within my day’s plan!
  
 Never would I have guessed
 If I had been put to the test
 That such a symbol
 Would belong
 To such as I
 What could this mean
 Then I too began to tremble
  
 Until a hand
 Reached from behind
 It is for you a sign
 A man smiled
 As he spoke
 Do you not see
 What this flying V
 Stands for?
  
 I shook my head 
 No.
 As He spoke His
 Words were slow
 Listen carefully
 He said
 And I will show
 Its meaning
  
 He removed His robe
 His body was scarred
 His perfect flesh 
 Had been deeply marred
 Yes, my flesh was
 Defaced
 I died in disgrace
 For you
  
 Yet within my nail-scarred
 Hands
 I hold the Promised Land
 Waiting for you
 It takes a deep belief
 Faith in me
 This is for your
 Most sincere relief
  
 From your own
 Sin
 No more will it win
 Control
 I destroyed that 
 Darkness 
 The hold
 It had on you
  
 This V is a sign
 Of my complete
 Victory
 Over all that enslaved
 Each child of mine
 I saved the day
 No more will hell
 Or death have its way
 With you
  
 As I watched
 His arms He raised
 In that perfect stance
 Of old
 It took only one glance
 For me to know
 Over His head
 His arms they formed that
 Perfect V
 On display
 For everyone forever
 & always to see!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 And I could see
 Of that which
 He spoke
 He had removed
 Destroyed
 That darkest of yokes
 My sin

Judgement

 
 
 Judgement
  
  
 Death comes to all
 Separation of our spirit
 From the flesh
 Instituted by our fall
  
 From His grace
 Turned out of a 
 Paradise
 And away from 
 His face
  
 However, God
 Still desires
 Into His kingdom
 everyone
 To come
 His planet
 Even now awash in 
 His love
  
 But there will 
 Be a day
 Christ did say
 When He returns
 To light the way
 To His 
 New Earth
  
 A separation
 Will occur
 The Sheep,
 Those he will keep
 In His love 
 But with a Holy shout
 The goats
 Will be thrown out
 Into the darkness
 Where satan awaits
 Between the fiery gates
  
 It is your choice
 To either praise, worship
 & rejoice
 In your
 Creator/Father/ God
 Do it now,
 While among the living
 do the giving,
 Loving,
 Sacrificing
 do not be 
 caught unaware
 do not miss
 your share
 of His Paradise
  
 Choose to go the
 Right way
 In this you do have
 The final say
 Do not reject
 Your God
 He never rejects
 Any feeble start
 So !TODAY!
 Do not harden
 Your heart

My Existence

 Existence
  
  
 My heart beats
 My lungs breathe
 I can laugh,
 Play,
 Savor the day
 I exist
  
 My thoughts are 
 My own
 In my head 
 They have found
 A home
 Within to rest
  
 Put me to the test
 Will I or won’t I
 Do this or that
 I can hear these,
 My thoughts
  
 For you see
 This is the real
 You and me
 A living breathing
 Spirit, soul
 Only temporarily,
 For now
 Attached to this
 mortal shell
  
 Given a chance
 to grow
 Get to know
 The One who runs
 The universe
 And beyond,
 Transcendent,
 With His Son
  
 For one day He 
 Has promised 
 He will come
 This living,
 breathing Son
 Shining in all His splendor
 This wonderful Giver
 Of our Life
 This gift of
 Our Existence!
  

First True Renaissance (Recreation)

  
 First True Renaissance
 (Re-creation)
  
 After a dark period
 It is told in books
 There was a Renaissance,
 Reformation, 
 a Recreation,
 Of culture, societies
 Even of Religion
  
 But I will argue
 It had already occurred
 At an earlier date
 before those books’ words
 Told of it.  On a cross 
 in a small back country,
 Judea
  
 An explosion 
 Unseen but felt
 After one 
 insignificant carpenter
 Was crucified 
 Because he testified
 To a new way of life
  
 Born in blood, 
 sweat & tears
 Why? satan has no peer
 For evil destruction
 His desperation 
 Was showing
  
 A new world,
 Kingdom,
 New way of living
 Was ushered in
 For all who would choose
 Their life to lose
 Inside of His
  
 Built upon a 
 Foundation of the old
 Refined, purified
 Like the rarest of golds
 For the sake of man
 He took our hand
 And led us to 
 His cross
  
 Meant for all
 Not just a few
 A new earth order
 If you choose
 Of faith, belief
 So on that Day
 And in that way
 His new earth kingdom 
 Started.
  
 Change has 
 Happened
 Time for it 
 To spread
 To all places
 For the good
 Of all faces
  
 Death defeated
 satan exposed
 for the liar he is
 time for the world
 to know
 it can change,
 grow,
 because 
 Christ says so! 
  
 Do not have to wait
 For a distant heaven
 New kingdom life
 Is now for the taking
 Now is the time
 for the slaking
 Of our undiminished
 Need for God
  
 For every man,
 Woman, child
 To take us out of our wild
 Unruly state he found in us
 Return to us His paradise for all
 Please I beg of you,
 do not refuse
 His holy, righteous call!
