Haiku for Today!
For the Broken-Hearted
For all the Broken Hearted
In the blackest
Hole of pain
Sometimes the only claim
I had was the
Glory surrounding His Name
Born an orphan child
Spit out into the wild
Chaos of a world
Lost, gone mad
Hot breath of Satan
In my face
Unfortunately, this was
My only place, this disgrace
I was forced to swallow
But do not despair
For me
For Christ came
Shook my world
Broke those old chains
Of desolation
So, for us
You and I
There is Hope
Do not retreat
I will tell
Try to speak
This prayer,
His perfect Love
Over You
Listen!

Listen
Listen, in the air
Angel wings move
Beat
Winds roar
To their rhythm
Wait, Wait
Not yet time
But it will be
Change is in the air
Heavens will roar
Earth melts from
The fire
In your breath
For now your
Patience
Is all we know of
Your salvation
Do not harden
Your hearts
As other did in
The past
Angels await to
Do His bidding
Held back for now
Only by His love

Between
Held between
Your face and
dark demons
I wait
My only release
the joy on Your Face.
And so, others they come,
Only a trickle through time
But still they come
And I wait
By your side
Hoping this tide
Will turn and more will
Come.
My enabler, empowered
Master, God and Noble King,
Waiting for Others to follow
And to come.
I know,
But still this waiting chafes against
My skin.
The S Word
We hear a lot today about Relative Morality. The goodness or badness of your behavior is only relative to what you think or feel it should be. There is no longer for a lot of people a universal morality—no general idea of good or evil. So therefore, could we conclude that people are all okay no matter how they act?
In our culture in the U.S., one of the S words, sin, has just about been taken out of existence, sadly, even in a lot of our churches. Some churches just say God loves you and wants to bless you which is true. But they forget He is a god of justice and is also our truest judge. This world belongs to Him.
1 John 8 says If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Later in verse 10 is stated

Silken Robes
Silken Robes II
Silken Robes
Dipped in blood
Blowing in eternity’s
Faithful winds
Passing through
This present today
As I sit entrapped
Within my space and time
Soft & smooth
Blowing across my face
Sent to caress
Dipped in a blood-red grace
Meant to end forever
My shame and disgrace.
Heaven’s gracious light
Pouring over the world
Coursing in the fluid of His life
Cleansing man’s darkest stains
Uncaring how steep the price
& thinking only of our gain.
So, with scarlet red drops
dripping everywhere
Christ gathers us back
Into Heaven’s rarest of airs
Bringing each together
Back to love’s warm embrace
found uniquely and only
Within the Glory and Grace
Glowing forth from the face
Of our Heaven’s Faithful Father.

Silken Robes
Dipped in blood
Blowing in eternity’s
Perpetual, faithful winds
Passing by
Flowing through
The present today
I sit entrapped
Within my space and time
Always moving
Searching, never still
Gathering, finding
Loving
In your Today
Won’t you please listen.
Touch His robe
And see
A different way to
Live and be
New life on display
Giving always of
This, His Eternal Today
Do not wait
Our Today will not
Always be
Chances come
And then they go
Do not miss
Your moment’s chance
To see and be
Your small part
Of Christ’s always heavenly glow
