Flitter Away
Sad
To watch
It flitter about
Even it twitters about
Stalls. Crashes.
Falls.
This waste of precious time
Throwing away of minds
Reaching for the subpar
Mundane, mediocre
(Or less than)
When instead
We could touch the sublime
The mind (&heart) of God
Calls out to us
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every moment a test
Of your reply
Call out to Him
He'll call out even louder
Return to you even more power
To every moment, each hour
Live in the basking
Glow of His face
So we will no longer
Have to trace
That wretched waste
(The flitter away)
Of our precious life's time!!!
Praise
Praise even harder
As satan squeezes tighter
For you know
Jesus is a fighter
Never giving up
satan has no knockout punch
Delivering in just one tremendous blow
Jesus raised a bloodied fist
From that wooden cross
Only one wham
then a bam
Christ just sighed
then He died
Finally relaxed
Had finished His task
& just went out to lunch!!!
We Say
I say this
You say that
Words flying thru the air
Tossed into that great hat
Of a world's opinions
Changing almost by the hour
Quickly coming in increasing showers
From the human ever restless heart
At an ancient beginning, our start
No end in sight to this
Our dark, yet most refin-ed art
In opposition to more elevated words
Trying strongly man's destiny to turn
Spun from heaven's celestial higher calling
Still we stumble, tumble over our mispronuciations to continue falling
Over our own words
We ruin ourselves our lives
With crude, more crass words every day
When will we ever learn the
Value in those words
our only God has such to say?
God's words can lift us higher
Ignite in us once more a Spirit's fire
Able to lift out of a dark murk & mire
Of our own creating
We should listen
To what God has to say
With His shining verbal pearls
Enhancing all our days
Speaking crystal shards of truth
To deny satan's stabbing wounds
As in eternity an ancient enemy's darkness
God forever will at last exclude!!!
Plain & Simple
Plain & simple
Words on a page
Without faith in
That red blood of Christ
All condemned to
a darkened hell
No great mystery
This is the truth
For any to understand, to tell
From a book of truth
God warns
At times
Even at us storms
Using examples from
The world’s past
Trying to convince us
Before like a stone
We could be thrown
Into that dark hole
Greater forces
Gather gentlest voices
Trying to win, cajole
Our Savior, Christ,
God, our Creator/Father
Holy Spirit urging
From words in His sacred scroll
Loving, to also console
For His greatest goal
Is to win back each soul
Intact, in whole
Back into His Loving Arms!
Celestial
A great army gathers
A trumpet blast will scatter
All tranquility
At its head, Your Holy Son
No enemy carries the ability
From this One to run
Each warrior is armed, braced
Swords, shields in place
Powerful & determined
Your battle plans, Lord Jesus
In Your book so holy
The words clearly do confirm and
Set forth!
So, beloved, while you
Still have a chance
As around this world, your life
You take a glance
Make sure you make the
Best choice
For to be on the right side
Of the sword
In your now, you must listen
To Christ’s voice!!
A Part Of
Like I was created to be
A part of your great group
Your Holy Trinity!
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship at your knees
A gift to be like You
Should that not
My worldly values askew?
A world out of balance
So out of its mind
Tumbling along on a very thin line
Not even your angels
Did You die for
Over us Your Spirit’s healing
Did You wish to pour
To enable, re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe,
Along its massive girth
No one thing and no one else
Did You create to reflect
The goodness of Yourself
Only us!
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only
May I completely trust!
