Hunger That hunger Pushing, driving Telling me Something is wrong So strong, No matter how much Of the world I ingest Still somehow lingers Distrust Still I need, Long for At times I know now what So, I continue To eat from the world Each of every day’s Beginning & end Searching, taking in Until I say no more I will buy no longer From your unlimited store Of meaningless things Then I stand, still And realize That you lie This world will Never completely Satisfy Reach up Search for God’s face His unending grace Only that love will Fill up, supply Those inner recesses Now threatening to die From a world’s wearying Provision Oh, Lord, Help me to make A better decision!
I love the walk along our city’s greenway. It’s right on the river, and you get to hear the water and all the animals, bugs and sights that go along with all of the place. Here’s only a short video of some of the sight and sounds I managed to capture along with a short poem. Hope you enjoy!
Summer Sounds Oh the joy of those Summer sounds Of water, birds, bugs All types of critters on the ground Of water roaring in its strength Or just a lazier hot day’s trickle Of this I will not dare to be fickle I love all of this summer’s show Try to take a break From your daily rush Do not let this world On your soul’s wellbeing Force a wearing attrition Take the time to just listen To your sweet Summer’s Sounds!
Confused?? Why do we abuse? Are we really So confused As to what we are? Lies fly all around Covering even the ground Underneath my feet they crunch Leaving me full? Not so much From an ancient hillside The truths they flow Rivers gushing of purest gold Washing, seeking, Purging each struggling, Dying soul Only within Christ’s outstretched Hand Lies the glory, truth of His promised land Under His feet Confusion flees Before your face You will see All lies die They will end As He rushes in New life New world As only God can send
A Stupor In a stupor We walk Unaware As we stare Blindly At a world Only physical We think But if you blink In only one small wink You can awake Supernatural All around Those beings Angels to do His bidding demons always trying their own way To be winning After walking On His planet He left behind Upon it A few Who were Awake Then more followed Until it was More & more Now upon The near & so distant Shores More eyes Hearts wakened So join A growing crowd Even if You have to shout To tell what it is About Before It is too late & their stupor We cannot abate As those who Are now awake most patiently await His return
