Don’t Know (demons)
I don’t know
Why you would give me
such experiences
Surely you could have found
Someone of more uniqueness
An orphan from birth
One of the least of the least
Assuredly you could have
Chosen someone less
Beaten to their knees
Demons are real
Come only your safety to steal
Roaming from another realm
Come to destroy any peace
The first was only a black blob
I suppose from all the darkness
Through the eons he had trod
Speaking Jesus’ name
Was the only way
To end the purpose
for which he came
To bring me only pain
The second attempted to
Look like our God
On a throne he sat
Extended a hand
On this one I slipped,
Trusted
He touched my lips
Next morning, I was sick
The third, well
Looking like a child
Fearful when it smiled
Trying to beguile
Teeth, pointed, razor sharp
After one look
Asked about my written book
In appearance only stark
Shade of black and grey
Only with Jesus’s name
Did it disappear
No longer to terrify
In my ear
Perhaps the most fearful
In appearance of all
A grown man, strong and tall
No color to brighten his blackened visage
I said ‘In the name of
Jesus of Nazareth, begone
Arguing replied, ‘Doesn’t work like that’
Screaming I answered
Oh yes it does,
Repeated Jesus’ name
As before all the others
He left
Running from the light
Of our universe’s Master
To hide from His glory,
His power’s might
Our Prince of Peace
Lover of our souls!
Eternity’s Most Beautiful &
Wonderous Sight!
A Daughter, A Son
We are his daughters, his sons
If your Father were under attack
Would you just turn tail
And run?
In my heart, I hope not
When they deny His Name
They abuse His Spirit
Of
Perfect Love, Joy, Peace
Patience, Goodness, Kindness
To name a few
But it is up to all of us
To me and you
An evil, destructive satan
Wants to destroy all of us
And watching the world today
He does it without much effort
Or a fuss
God’s disciples we are meant
To be
So our Father’s love & forgiveness
Every eternal soul here may see
It truly is a battle for our
Hearts & minds
So step up,
Join the front lines
Even pain-filled at times
As it might be
Because,
Without us in the war
The enemy has already won!

The City
A Wondrous City
This Holy Jerusalem
Containing at one time
A temple built for only
HIM
His presence to visit
Between golden cherubim’s wings
He listened
While choirs on its steps
To Him did sing
His Name
His Power
His Fame
To it one day
This Only God
Will return
After all evil
Is vanquished
Destroyed
In one heartbeat,
Burned
So we raise holy hands
As we fall to our knees
In obedience’s path
Seeking only to please
(to be transformed
your earth & us)
No longer to rebel in ignorance
Against your beauty
To rise to Your higher calling,
That greater, purer duty
And follow Your Forever Call
Watching, waiting
As once again your raise
Her holy walls
Regrow, renew
Re-begin
This Holy Jerusalem!
A Love Song:
(A Part Of)
It is like I was created to be
Always a part of Your group
Your Holy Trinity
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship on my knees
It is Your gift to be like you
Should this not
My worldly values askew?
A world so out of balance
Literally out of its mind
Rolling, tumbling on
A very, very thin line
Not even those lost rebellious angels
Did you dare to die for
Only over us Your Spirit’s healing
You wished to pour
To enable re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe’s
Massive girth
In truth, nothing and no one else
Did you create to
Reflect the goodness of
Yourself but us
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only may
I completely live & trust!
I love the walk along our city’s greenway. It’s right on the river, and you get to hear the water and all the animals, bugs and sights that go along with all of the place. Here’s only a short video of some of the sight and sounds I managed to capture along with a short poem. Hope you enjoy!
Summer Sounds
Oh the joy of those
Summer sounds
Of water, birds, bugs
All types of critters on the ground
Of water roaring in its strength
Or just a lazier hot day’s trickle
Of this I will not dare to be fickle
I love all of this summer’s show
Try to take a break
From your daily rush
Do not let this world
On your soul’s wellbeing
Force a wearing attrition
Take the time to just listen
To your sweet Summer’s Sounds!
Come
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Lord, King
My Master
To us, please, please return
Rend the sky
Waiting, I watch
Look up & sigh
But first,
Come perhaps
More softly
In Your great love
Rend, tear our hearts
Of this world
Surely, You’ve had
More than enough
Help us, lead us
Show us only for life
Your way
On the face of this planet
Tired am I of an ever present
Internet
Its siren song, misleading fantasies
Enchantment
Save us as only You can
Before you choose to return
To create Your promised land
New Earth, New Heaven
Make us Your hands, feet
Put in our hearts Your Love
So evil’s destructive voices
May You at last
Totally, completely defeat!
