Between


Between

Holy Week
A week like no other
Man will ever see
Heaven’s Holy Light
Chose to walk,
Talk with us
Die for us
Give us
The chance to
Do the choosing
Between

Choosing between what
You say?
Between good and evil
Heaven and hell
Death and life
God's peace or
Man's evil strife
Satan's narcissistic destruction
Or
God's sacrificial love

Behind whose back
You choose to follow
In whose steps
You wish to walk
Remember,
One way rings false,
Only hollow
The other leads
To a bliss filled eternity
Full of nothing but God's peace
To be eternally protected by
HIS LOVE'S DIVINE SECURITY!!

Contained!


Contained!

Surpassing strength
More
Than all the energy
Contained
Within the unseen boundaries
Of this universe
Super nova explode
Stars are birthed
Planets rotate slowly
Evolving
More
Than if all our atomic bombs
Explode
You are more powerful
Than the entirety put together!!

A Holy Trinity dancing
Through infinity
In joy, power
Unseen on earth
Let go, merest man,

Let your heart and mind's
Soul expand!!!

I cannot comprehend
Such beauty, power
Coming from, having no end
I am consigned to traverse
Under the light of only
One strong sun
While in only one hand
You hold creation’s totality

Perhaps that is what is meant
By that old-fashioned word
GLORY
Ah, such wonder
Amazement
Perhaps those thoughts alone
You give to hold off despair
To keep our souls soaring!!

How do You contain
Such energy
Dripping from your
Fingers' tips
Within each thought
From each word
From Your lips
Then I remember
You use some upon
Our world
On us
Down from heaven
Is it hurled
Into glowing red sunsets
Overhead
Multi-colored tulips
Crystal spider's webs
Translucent blue waters
Reaching more than a mile
Each act of love we perform
And into the newborn child's
Very first smile!!

The Tear(ai artwork)

The Tear


Don't cry, Lord Jesus
Why that tear?
Does a sorrow to you
Draw too near?
I lay my cheek upon your hand
As flowers around my head
Do blend
Let me love you
Oh my God, my dear

You lift the crystal fluid
Off your cheek
Wait a moment
Before you speak
It is not for sorrow
That my eyes do weep
But for pure joy, beloved child
That in eternity I now may you forever keep!

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Also, Hebrews 12:2

The King


The King

Jesus
Our Holy King
You are
The Only One
The only thing
To save us
From ourselves
From our own
Inhumanity
To each other

Our Prince of Peace
Each and every day
You struggle, You reach
To fill our hearts
With Yourself
Your promises
To fulfill, to keep

So let us
Bow low
On knees
Before your throne
May we receive
Come to own
The golden glow,
The whispers of
Not I that live
But only Christ Jesus
As my life to You
May I mindfully choose
Each and every day to give!!

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!

Come,
Lord Jesus Come
Heaven's Only Son
From this moment
My race, it has begun
Only within You
All love, peace, joy
Emanates from

So lift me up
May I never ever
Become too worldly,
Or too numb
To Your beauty
Please help me
Transcend this earth,
It's darkest scum

So take my meager crumbs
And
In your hands
May I once more become
Your treasure
Your richest, ripest
Of fruits, a plum
And may I loudly proclaim
Your truths, light
In step with, in cadence with
Living to the rhythm of
The rest of,
The best of
All your Holy drums!!

The GATE


The Gate

This,
An unusual gate
An unusual shape
Formed
Of two wooden beams
Not entirely an
Unbroken seam
What's known as
A Cross

On it people were hung
By hands or wrists
From its one horizontal rung
Until
No longer down here
Did they exist

Left to die
Against God's pale blue sky
But
For them it was not
The end
For them the journey
Was it just about
To begin

Their souls released
To step through a gate
Into eternal peace
Or into a darker pain
For them,
Their existence would
Never be the same

Christ took that dark
Symbol of man's brutality
And turned it into the new
Reality
Of God's goodness,
Forgiveness
Love
Falling in heavenly showers
Of Jesus Christ's blood

So won't you step through
This heavenly gate
Opened daily,
Always freely to you
But remember,
Only by your own faith
As your Creator's joy-filled
Heart awaits
Do its portals swing wide
To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
