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

Rushing

Rushing

 

Rushing here

Rushing there

People pushing

Looking, searching

Everywhere!

 

We have stress

I understand the tests

We go through everyday

But for a moment

Could we not just stay?

 

To let go

Of the constant

Looking for the

Something

We don’t even know

 

Why or what we

Look for

This constant rushing

Will rob you of

All your joy

 

I cannot stop

You say

Because if I do

Then

I will feel the pain

 

The separation I feel

The need

The hole in my middle

Which continues to bleed

 

We have separated

From the source of life

A living, breathing

God/Creator/Loving Father

He does not wish for us

This terrible, horrible strife

 

We put ourselves thru

Each day we begin anew

With the rushing,

Accumulating of more

More useless things

Less joy

 

So, seek your God

Let go of seeking

Useless idols

Let life be in the being

With, in the presence of

the One who

Can fill the emptiness

And lay your pain to rest

 

John 14:27 My peace I give to you, my peace I leave you. I do not give to you as the world gives. So do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Satan

 

Satan

Murderer,

Prince of this world

Deceiver

Father of all lies

Prowling

A roaring lion

Looking for someone

To devour

 

Do not let him

Have you

This deluder

Resist

He will flee

 

At the name of

The only One

Jesus Christ

the Lord

darkness flees

before Him

 

so, do not let

the dark one

use his greatest

weapon,

for you not

to believe

he exists

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!

 

 

 

 

The Self

Self

 

Self is an illusion

Selfishness a greater tragedy

I am an extension,

Imprinted with and by

Someone Else.

 

Created in another’s image

Given some of His attributes

Living in His pleasure

I reach out my hand

And return to the one

I came from.

 

Death is a release

from my separation

From my Creator/God

This, my Yahweh.

Harmony (not a song)

 

Meant to be

Is all I can say

For this we live

Should struggle toward

So, at the end of each day

 

Lay down at night

Having done our job

Trying to become

More like our God

 

They live as one

Father, Spirit & Son

Perfection on display

Love, joy, peace

There truly is a way

 

To be just like them

this battle we can win

if we will just give in

submit the will to His

 

Believers, his family,

Meant to be together

Forever

To live in total unity

 

Holy Church

Never meant to be divided

Split, apart

Satan has blindsided

Our hearts

 

Do not believe

There is no remedy

For what we are today

Believe everything He may say

 

One Spirit, One Father, One Son

This is the course we

Were meant to run

Together

Never, ever, ever ever apart!

Joy on a Page!

 

ArtforJoyonaPage

 

Joy on A Page

 

Words on a page

Ancient as time

March in procession

Line by line

 

Written by a holy finger

Within the fires of truth

I pray deep in my heart

May they forever linger

 

Written in ink so black

Copied, recopied by scribes so holy

Yet, at times it took man’s blood

To tell God’s eternal story

 

Read His Word

Which shall never pass away

Lifts us up, transcending all strife

Leads to His perfect joy, love

& the Blissful Ecstasy of

His Forever Life!

 

Footsteps

artforfootsteps

 

Footsteps

I can hear your

Footsteps

Echoing through time

Will they ever,

Can I follow,

Align with mine?

I can feel the ground

Shake

As you run from one

To another, saving,

making us all brothers

Ground shakes,

Stars sing

Angels speak

What more can be done

Already which is done?

Still you go on stepping

One foot in heaven

The other is on earth

Running, sometimes walking

Changing times, people

Hearts, glory on display

As We’re all waiting, watching for

Rebirth.

Into a world that only

Sings your name

So each step has not

Been for nothing

Lives rebuilt, spirits saved

Love rekindled in the light

Of Christ’s glorious new day!

Someone!

ArtforSomeone

 

Someone

Everything comes from

Something

In our case, this world, we,

Came from Someone

With this fact for a moment

Let us just run

 

Universe, spinning

Full of grace

Evolving, rebirthing

From the love light

Emanating from His

Glorious face!

 

So, let us bend the knee

Open the heart fully with

with eyes that see

Our Lord, Creator

Most Divine

And within our hearts

Let Him be reborn

With all His full power

And glory To Shine

Waiting

Waiting

I cannot stop

This joy divine

Transcending all space

And time

As I wait at the bottom step

Of a shining throne

My heart has leapt

More than once

To watch you move

 

I sigh, waiting for

Your hand

To lift me to something

more grand

Than I can imagine or wish

I wait for your

Eternal kiss

 

Sighing, longing

In unexpected joy I wait

For surely, they swing wide

Your heaven’s gates

Each and everyone

May step through

Ushered in by

The ecstatic love & blood

of your glorious Son!

Romans 8:25 Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not

yet have, we wait for it patiently.
