I feel like
I feel like
A leaf,
A snowflake
Life goes by so fast
Like peering in a looking glass
Then you step away
What was it that you, God,
Had in mind
When you first thought of
Me
Was it to rhyme a line
So they perhaps might
See
Your Face?
Better, clearer,
Clearer, clearer
So they might
Draw nearer,
Nearer, nearer
To You?
Never will I know
All answers
This side of the grave
Questions will there
Always be
As on I in frailness go.
ExistenceMy heart beats
My lungs breathe
I can laugh,
Play,
Savor the day
I exist
My thoughts are
My own
In my head
They have found
A home
Within to rest
Put me to the test
Will I or won’t I
Do this or that
I can hear these,
My thoughts
For you see
This is the real
You and me
A living breathing
Spirit, soul
Only temporarily,
For now
Attached to this
mortal shell
Given a chance
to grow
Get to know
The One who runs
The universe
And beyond,
Transcendent,
With His Son
For one day He
Has promised
He will come
This living,
breathing Son
Shining in all His splendor
This wonderful Giver
Of our Life
This gift of
Our Existence!
My Debts Up to my eyeballs in debt
I sigh I moan
I truly, deeply regret
What I have done
To myself
No one else to blame
Oh, the embarrassing shame!
Oh, what I cannot claim
Of wisdom
Loud commercials
Made it seem so real
Oh, their endless appeal
So, I got sucked in
By the alluring din
Of a greedy world
So now I am an endless slave
This I can mostly certainly say
Onward I go
Trying to show
A new confidence
I slug away
Each morning, new day
At the mountainous debt
Trying to correct
This wreck
I’ve made of my life
I know it will end
And I will never, ever,
Ever again spend
Myself into this death march
toward another fresh & open
financial grave
Probably not such a good poem for this time of year, right before the biggest gift giving holiday, but still timely I hope. Remember it’s only one day out of the year. Remember God loves you and wants only the best for you and your family. Have a blessed and peace filled day!
Revolutionary’s SoundsWhirling, twirling
Swept up into the air
Revolutionary sounds
Were everywhere,
all around
Ignored they were
But they were heaven’s cure
For what was wrong
Within the songs
Of man
For all our evil,
Corruption unbound,
Still they refused to see
What God had pleased
To send them
So only a few listened
To the man on the cross
Ignoring from his lips
The purest, shining gloss
Of a revolution’s sounds
Bringing words of
Great worth
Love, joy, peace
To His earth
Heaven’s purest, pearls
Our souls He did seek
And so Christ did die
On the very rocky ground
He had created
Our God,
Alone and bound
But still left behind
For those who choose
The fiery, purest joy of
His Revolutionary’s Sounds!!
Not Even in A Blender
Blades whir,
Solids dissolve
Large chunks puree
Into a goo
Blenders good
For many things
In our kitchens
They do bring
From many foods
Convergence into one
Unfortunately, in life
Things are not always so
Some things cannot,
Should not mix
For the welfare of our souls
The dark and the light
Will never mix
Nothing that a blender
was ever meant to fix
Never meant to be
As oil is to water
Separate from the
Beginning
God’s light will
Not ever allow
satan’s dark to stop
His shining!
So do not fear
Shed not too many tears
There is the one that
Took our place
Opened Heaven’s
Pearly gates
Christ paved the way
Saved all our days
From the whirling,
swirling blades,
that chaos of the darkness.
Parallel Universes
I’ve heard the words used
Before
Parallel universes
From several books
Those words are torn,
Borrowed
If you please
Also in theories of those
Who do not like to be told
Of a living God
and
only one single universe,
HIS
In old science fiction
Books
If you care to look
Words like the above
Are used
Into this you are welcome
To peruse
In another ancient book
Words are used
If the truth you wish
to persue
It speaks of this life we see
Of this for yourself
You may read
A Bible, ancient &
Holy
Tells Gods story
Of creation from
Nothing
Of all of this
Something
Which surrounds us
But it also speaks
Of what we cannot see
With just physical eyes
It speaks of spirits
Good and bad
& choices to be had
By us
Of angels, demons
A destructive satan
A loving Savior
A Holy God of
Spirit
Of Heaven & hell
In its words it does tell
Of these parallels
Unseen but not unfelt
In your heart,
Spirit,
I think most of us know
It exists
Draw closer to God and
He will draw closer to you
This is the truth
He wants you to know
For certain
He wants to open
The curtain
Between the two
For us these two levels of
Existence
Are the very substance
We are made of
Both physical and
Spiritual
Existing in both
We are clearly told
As a hand fits
Into a glove
The spiritual above
dwells within our
Physical below
More & more
You will become aware
As You let God indwell
Your core essence,
Your very Soul!
So take a look around
It will astound
And should remind
Of how frail this
Physical is
