You’ve Been Lied To
By an enemy so dark
Seeking only to destroy
Your heart
Your very self
Powerful above us all
Do not listen to his call
Turn away, turn away
Before it’s too late
From those hot destructive
Gates
From the one who wishes
To destroy you
That satan
Turn from his angry hate
Telling you he does not exist
Oh, how he does wish
You would listen
& be utterly deceived
At that
he will laugh & dance
With glee,
To destroy God’s child
He tries to whisper, tell
Or yell
Live only for today
He’ll come to you to say
Be your own god!
Live only for your own lusts
You must just simply trust
What that evil, dark one says
So to a world
out of control
Lusting after a fool’s gold
I would say
Let Go!
A day is coming when all
Will be judged
Please do not continue or follow
Your dark trudge
Away from the light
A larger house, a fancy car
Will not help you reach
For the stars
For this you were truly destined
Even though you may be tested,
Tempted on this earth
Return to the One whose
Face you bear
Release to Him all your cares
In His light only
Come to share
Walk into His New World’s
Life
Free of all pain, guilt & strife!
Monday Prayer
In the middle of my lostness
Wanderings, dark sleep
You took the time
To search
For this one miniscule
Lost sheep
Good Shepherd,
You are the one who
Never leaves the one behind
Thank you for the saving
Of me;
body, soul & mind
Not Just Candy on the Top
Shining, glorious
On top
That bright red
Cherry
Gleaming, glistening
On top of whipped crème
A most delicious berry
Just a nice add-on
Makes it more enticing
Milkshake underneath
Solid, frothy
Coming closer to being
Desired
But tis an unnecessary
Thing
Does not decrease
Or increase
The shake beneath
Or detract from its
Power
To make us wish it
To devour
I sometimes think
Of God & Christ
We have made
Like that cherry
That piece on top
of stuff
A small enhancement,
Merely a small piece
Of fluff
In comparison to
That solid milkshake
Rest of our lives
Are we really going to
Wait until our body dies
To see reality,
God’s importance,
Why wait until that time
Of crisis?
Today, make God
The solid majority
Of your life
Desire most
The Lord
Of all the angelic hosts
The center of your being
As ephemeral you become
& more fleeting!
Troubled Soul
Troubled Soul,
Troubled Soul,
Do not sit
In the darkness’s glow
It’s angry face
Leaves only the sting
And disgrace
Of rejection
Sitting in a brackish cell
Formed by cruelty
Coming only from hell
Troubled Soul
Hear these words
For your pain there
Is a certain cure
Above this darkened
Black air
Over your bowed head
And tangled hair
A small light glows
Comes from Heaven
To let you know
There is a someone
Who knows your name
Wishes to discharge your pain
Forever
Christ loves your heart
Which has sat in the dark
For too long
So raise your head
Listen to every word
Being said
Inside your spirit
He will implant His own
There His truest Love
& Graces
Will forever be sown!
In the Snow
In the snow
They go
These blue-grey ghostly,
Shadowy footprints in the white
Maybe even dead of night
To and fro
They never seem to
Slow
Even up the steps
They go
Do you possibly
suppose
Unbeknown they
May leave behind,
Expose.
A small piece of each
Imprint-owner’s Soul??
In The Beginning
Chronicle III
Eden’s glory on
Full review
In yellows,
Greens &
Brilliant azure blues
Unflawed life
With Perfection’s love
No displeasure felt
About which to sigh
Walking under clearest skies
Nor reason or complaint
Over which to die
Wait, what is that,
To die?
Understood not yet
Or known
No pain or regret
With which to live
Only joy & love
A thing called death
Living only in the shadows
Air is always clean
& fresh
Only peace is
Ever seen
Between earth, sky
& the sea
Man & all animals
Live only & always
In harmony to be
Food abundant
Work is no toil
No displeasure there
To ever despoil
Its sense of purpose
Or the ease
Of life lived under
Gentle trees
Swaying softly overhead
At night only rest
Is found in all their beds
Until one day
With a slight chill
An unknown shadow passes
A rustling in the grasses
Never heard before
The man stopped to sniff
The air
The woman paused
to express only a mild care
But in naivete
On that most unusual day
Neither knew from
Experience they lacked
What formidable evil
Slithered,
Invading their Paradise
Now lurking & looming
Behind their backs
