Seas
Seas, they come
& they go
Over my head
& around my arms
I feel
As my heart begins
To reel
Liquid,
A living Spirit also
Encircling
Surrounding
Every movement,
Every thought
In its power,
This Spirit’s sea
Do I feel caught
Within this moving
Sovereignty
Your joy, Your glee
Entranced
As I watch, see
Causes my heart to sing
Your Name
Yahweh!
Always, ever
Mysterious
Yet alive
Is most impervious
To the loud demands
Of a world most resistant
Around its darkness
Also swirls
But,
Your tides You send
Always coming only to cleanse!
Too Archaic?
Evil
An old, archaic word
You say
But just listen
If you will but stay
Is not man also ancient
On the face of
This revolving planet?
Also, since antiquity
Yet basically
Man is as the same
Since all the history of
Our yesterdays
Thru & up to
All the current of
Our present’s todays!
So,
Do not overrule that
Ancient word
Evil
Spun from the workings of
A devil
satan seeks only to destroy
Every man, woman
Girl & even the youngest of
All the boys
Work against it
Within yourself
Try to overcome it
Seek God’s light,
His Spirit’s pure power
To win for each of us
Of life these hours
That can come at us
In such a resounding,
Cascading crush!
Two Sides to Each Coin
Two sides to our God
Both beautiful to see
One and then the other
Each
Yet completely necessary
Flip Him over
Both sides blindingly brilliant
& equally significant
Neither to neglect
In this way, we peruse
His totality to inspect
Yet today,
Many teachers
Supposedly of The Way
Prefer over the other
Only one
Disregarding His Being
His Total Sum
Teaching,
Wanting the blessings
But leaving out obedience
Ignoring in His book
All written evidence
His is Master
& Our Judge
So,
Polish up both sides of
That coin
Bring both sides to a
Sparkle
And accept both sides
Of His intensely loving
Gospel
Above is the below poem set to video and music. It’s also on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/l3K1XIiPDXU Hope you enjoy. Have a blessed day and Praise God!
Winds
Winds of heaven blowing
Falling to bless
Rising back on praise
Turning eyes upward
We gaze
With hands upraised
In giving we receive
God needs nothing from
Man
Unselfishly He sends
To all if they choose
His gracious, loving winds
Meant to teach, uplift
Souls to transform, win
For us this is His glory’s gift
And in those winds at times
So powerful, so swift
received even thru stormy skies
Thunders the promise of
His Infinity’s Gracious Paradise!
Somnambulant
(sleepwalking)
Somnambulant, (walking while asleep),
We walk by
While in most of our cities
Our children lean & cry
Rivers of large tears flowing
All this pain & fear now showing
Rearing its head in lives
No longer afraid, feeling no need to hide
A black mist covers our senses,
Our hearts & cities’ walls
Deceived, most do not even know
The direction in which to call
Until,
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Ring out those words
Only with Your power
Can we stop this deceiving hour
Of our own demise
In this land, this country
Please, Oh please, do not
Our desperate cries deny!
True Beauty?
All we have of any beauty so true,
Dear God,
Is always & only the great I AM
Of You
All of us, so corrupted
Our own lives we keep interrupting
With sin so calloused
Our wandering selfishness
Our greatest test
As much as we can
We need to let go
Swim back into the natural flow
Of Yourself, Your Love
Overwhelming comes Your Glow
Like the greatest of floods
Showing in the things you’ve made
In this even nature has much to say
Froom sparkling stars in the sky
To the translucent ethereal
Wings of a fluttering butterfly
The great beauty of your heart
Before you even attempted a world to start
Was what goaded you forward
Until at last we stood before you
Your shining, newly-born human child
A whole universe awash with your love
Flying, soaring thru heavenly gates above
Carried down on gentlest wings of doves
To the crusty hardened dust of this earth
Until upon it at last
Fell the blood of Your Only Son
Forever bringing to us a cherished new birth!
