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!
Into a Gutter Tossed
Feeling so lost
Into a gutter tossed
In the depths of it,
I sigh
Are You, Lord, passing me by?
Watching
I look
Give a soft moan
In only one heart’s beat
You stop
You are there
With one smile
You show You care
Reaching out one hand
Raise me to my feet
Save me
Your beauty’s grace on display
For all of this lost world to see!!

Footsteps in the Dust
Heaven came down
To earth
Each quiet, steady footstep
In the dust
Gives to each soul
A chance at its new birth
A fresh start
Watching to reward
Each beating heart
With a different level
Of existence
Then
Why, oh why.
Does He even today
Still meet with such
determined resistance?
Why do we prefer
Our own cruelty
To Christ’s love?
Falling constantly
On our heads, shoulders
From skies above
Showing no one favoritism
His salvation’s glory contained
in only three precious words
He Is Risen!!
