Haiku
Time stands still within
Man loses total control
inside Heaven’s Gates

Day & Night
Our world exists
2 sides to the coin
One side lives in light, sun
As the other slumbers
In darkness
So it will be when
Our King returns
For that holy day
All who love him
Should deeply yearn
Some will be given the
Joy of light forever
Others in dark pain will
Be in weeping, wailing
Gnashing of teeth
As they run for cover
Where the worms
Never die
Fire is never quenched
Words from a book
That never lies
Before it is too late
As Christ flings open
Heaven’s gates
Stands and knocks
Let Him in
Replace your sin
With obedience
Join in the frolicking
As you receive
Your first glance
Of His great and
Mighty return
Mark 9:48 where the worms that eat them do not die and the fire is not quenched. NIV
Matthew 13:50 and throw them into the blazing furnace; where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. NIV
Malachi 4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. NIV
There YOU Are!
There You Are!
(only a glimpse)
Fully awake, suddenly
No longer asleep
Deep, velvet blackness
Is all I can see
Then a spiral
Clouds of purest white
Appear in a distance
I give only a glance
Then it happens
I’m at your feet
Blinding light envelops
My breath I cannot keep
I feel your power
Why for me this shower?
Glory on display
Brighter than any sun’s day
Rainbow colors
Bright hues
Dance, move madly
Dancing to their own tunes
I try to turn away
But by your hand I am stayed
I take a second Glimpse so brief
But suddenly I am released
And I am back
Inside my body
Thrust back into my world
I have been hurled
Back into the merely physical
But Oh, the glory I did see!
Such other worldly beauty
Of all strife and pain is free!
City of New Hope
City of New Hope
Celestial spires
Rise high
As angel choirs
Sound, rejoice
Holy saints walk,
Rub elbows
Side by side
In a city so rare
Where golden is the air
Encircling every face
Settling, leaving a trace
Of its shining glory
Walls there
Sheer, translucent
Rainbowed in ever
Changing colors
Saints live, worship
In joy with each other
The nearness, life of
Their God
Filling every crevice
Perfection’s glory
Fulfilling every wish
Throne room of
Grace
Three working as one
Joy lifts each face
To see their God
Forever
My human words
Are inadequate to say
Express the glory
Of even just one day
Within this place
Where perfection holds
Its complete sway
The world’s divine God
Lives here
Abolishes every care
Hungry, yearning
For you to dare
To aim for such a place
Reach higher
While you still have the time
He sits enthroned,
Waiting
For you to reach for
Him & His home transcendent,
This Heaven’s light sublime!
Clinging
Clinging
Clinging to Christ
Tighter,
tighter
As my burdens
Get lighter,
Lighter
Always moving on,
Hoping,
To a greater beyond
Fragility
KODAK Digital Still Camera
Fragility
Frail and pale
I lean ever outwards
Searching
Will this emptiness
Never end?
But I am better
Now
Older, wiser
Very more blessed
Realizing
Sooner rather
Than later
I will be reunited
With the one True Father
In life’s great hereafter!
