A World
A world once
So green and fair
spinning in air
now dipped, drenched
in a Savior’s red blood
only way to
cover its darkness

Media
Voices crying out
From every street corner
Vying for attention
Willing to grab, garner
In any way, your eyes
Which leads to
The heart
The inner you, do not
Let the world
Of you have
That part
These voices,
Indiscriminately cry out
Led by the great deceiver
Ceaselessly they shout
From
TV, magazines, airwaves
The Internet
The world in chaos
Do not give in, let
Them have your
Thoughts
Deluded by the greatest
Destroyer of all life
Father of all lies,
Murderer
Do not give them or him
your time
The World & its Media
Walk with blinders
Put on by one more
Clever than man
This Satan,
Do not let him have
Your hand
Do not be led
By his cruel heart
Instead give
Christ
That precious part
Of you
Which shall never die
Your spirit,
Created to be
Like the light
Meant to live in, see
God’s eternal glory!
Praise God!!!
Leaf’s Lace
Leaf’s Lace
Leaf’s lace
In water
Frozen for all time
Your clear crystal glory
Only brings to mind
A forest’s giant
Rough bark glazed
Painted in winter’s whites
Glistening, waiting
In a cooler’s sun’s light
I walk through
Boots all full of snow
Enjoying the dripping silence
Of this cold day’s glow
Nature waiting
All quiet, sleeping for now
As it comes in unannounced
Spring’s breath blows gently
Stirring to arouse
Lost & Found
Lost & Found
The Lost, afloat
No anchor for
Their boat
Drifting
In the dark
Searching, searching
Only a small light
Gives any sight
Within the heart
Only an empty
Darkened sea
Carries the small boat
Without hope
For land’s safety
But, oh, the found
Never do they run aground
In trouble
Son’s light shines
To light their skies
Eternally overhead
Guided in Hope,
Love, Faith
They enter celestial gates
In Triumph!
Paradise beckons
Perfect Father awaits
Take the next steps
To make sure you sail
your boat through
God’s Golden, Celestial Gates!!
Rainbows, At Last!
Rainbows
Rainbows, bright
This light, enwreathed
Around your head,
So thick,
upon your face
Sometimes only with
Difficulty can I trace
The smile of your lips
This great gift
You give
This life,
Our existence,
The breathing
In and out
Of You
A Spirit so ancient
So Holy
Wishes to dwell
Within your heart
This explosion
Of joy!
Giving to each &
all a complete, Fresh Start
to Life
Receive Him in
let Him retell your story
Do not reject
God’s living, eternal Glory!
At Last!
Swept up
As You pass
In a love
That will last
Beyond the
Moon’s light
Orphaned,
Cold, alone
In darkness I sat
Then You smiled
On a lost child
Found at last
Taken into
Your forever home
Where only
Eternal love is shown,
Radiating
Off your face
I run, in haste
Why do not all people
Literally chase
After You?
For the answer
To this
I have not the slightest
Clue
Why all men do not
Literally stumble,
Tumble over each other
To reach the bottom
Of your throne
Nowhere
Nowhere
There is no place
That I can go
You do not show
Yourself
My Creator, Lord
and Master
There is no task for
Which You are not ready
With You all things
Are possible
Within the Crucible
Of Your Will
Going to the other
Side of the globe
Still You mightily show
Your face
Even up onto the moon’s
Surface and light
Still I cannot lose sight
Of Your power and Your might
Enthralled, I watch each,
Your acts of mercy, feats
of beauty, intelligence, grace
For not one single heart’s beat
exists outside Your Love!
Nobodies
Nobodies
Christ,
Hanging on that cross
Did you know my name
Did you see from there
This my sometimes
lonely way?
Born alone
Into a freezing cold
I took my first breath
Orphans too have souls
Tossed about
In waves
Beyond my control
Landed at last
upon a very rocky shoal
bent but not
completely destroyed
created in, by the light
not just for an evil’s toy
I sat alone, waiting
existing within your might
A nobody,
One of the Least
of the least of
The Least
Rejected in a
World’s insanity
Why do we not love
These Our own,
Parts of ourselves
I too belonged here also
Yet as
You hung upon that cross
You turned your face
Upon my future
Offered me your grace
Yay, I’m saved!

Trumpets
Trumpets on a vine
Orange glory within green
Along a wooden fence line
Meant for all to see
Miniatures to be sure
In silence they are strung
Muted, without a cure
Simply for my eye’s joy
Have they all been hung
Imbued with intense color
Meant to capture our attention
Will we stop to hear their message
& its silent reminder not to shun?
Of a day in history’s future
Of a Lord returning in glory
Before He arrives to meet us
A trumpet’s loud call will sound
His story
Of majesty, purity, love
And judgement
All will bow, bend the knee
Every eye at last to see
This, His truest face of grace
I wonder,
Will these smaller trumpets
Be allowed at last to join
Their larger brother’s voice
To herald a new world
As all nature sings to rejoice
Medieval Forest
KODAK Digital Still Camera
Medieval Forest
Medieval forest
Formed from trees
Of old
Stories of
Ancient ancestors
Without one
Word told
Silent remnants
Of a quieter world
Watchers of events
Man, animals
Passing through
Still your green
Canopies you unfurl
for us to enjoy
In a faster paced world
We need your reflective
Faces
To remind us of the
graces
Still to be had from
The quiet stillnesses
within
A medieval forest.
Queen Anne’s Lace
Queen Anne’s Lace
Queen Anne’s Lace,
Your demure beauty
always knows its place
along a roadside or in
a green grass-tufted field
if I pinched a slender stalk
would I hear you squeal?
You, very proper and so prim
I think I would never hear
From the pinchings of one stem
A solitary sound to clear
those silent, snowy lips
Regal, austere,
Elegant long limbs
Waving through the breeze
White-crested heads
Do acquiesce to bend
Your rarest esteem
Of this fair day
Sun clears all clouds away
Azure blue above
You below in your
gentle exquisiteness
I will never cease to love!!
