Why?
Why do we not see
Is it we cannot
Or do not want to be
Faithful, submissive
Obedient
To someone greater
Than the I of me?
Hardening of the heart
To the idea of such a God
To all of life gives
Only a very false start
Saying I don’t
Want to see
Does not change
Our Reality
Open your inner eyes
On just the physical
Do not rely
Do not wear
IGNORANCE
As a disguise
For refusal
A lack of perusal
Into the gracious beauty
Of Our Father/Creator!
by Hazel Straub It is time to arise from depression and darkness because of the new life and light of God’s Spirit lives inside of believers in Jesus. The light and radiance of Yahweh casts out all darkness. It is your time to shine with the light of God, as it transforms. Although the darkness […]
A Devil’s Dance
Around & around
Up & down
Whirling, madly swirling
This devil’s dance
To mesmerize,
Trying to entrance
To fool, deceive
Destroy
Only purpose for
A devils’ dance
More powerful than any opiate
Illegal it should be
For it teaches to never satiate
Teaches you not to perceive
Take off the blinders
Stop watching satan’s sidewinders
Frantically writhing
Rotten to the core
Pain is all that is left in store
For all who will follow
a devil's dance!

Haiku for May
(an early spring’s day)
Though shown just in Spring
Flowers by the bunch dazzle
Still hold much power
Love’s Sword
Love’s sword flashes left
& right
Truly a most intimidating sight
In some hearts causes joy
In others only strikes pure terror
But,
When it’s through
For each & the every of us,
The me and you
Will it shine so crystal clear
Those who have loved and
Held His Christ so very dear!
The Trust
Cancer 2 times has
Called my name
Life for me does
Not feel just the same
My time down here
Grows more limited
It may not even much
Longer be extended
BUT
What awaits for me
Is held within a Trust
In greater hands than mine
Transcending the restrictive
Limits of our sense of time
From this Trust
In my daily borrows
Therein lies Christ’s strength
To overcome all pain & sorrows
Never was I meant to live
In cruel poverty
But to receive the resources
In His Kingship’s sovereignty!
Praise You, Lord Jesus!
Although the use of
This Trust
May come with a few
Conditions or regulations
Never meant to be shunned
Were His love’s guidelines
To enjoy the pleasures
That await
As you are allowed to enter
Between Heaven’s
Welcoming gates
With each step’s forward thrust
Open wide your arms to receive
The lavish riches of this,
His Glorious Trust!
