Confused??
Why do we abuse?
Are we really
So confused
As to what we are?
Lies fly all around
Covering even the ground
Underneath my feet they crunch
Leaving me full?
Not so much
From an ancient hillside
The truths they flow
Rivers gushing of purest gold
Washing, seeking,
Purging each struggling,
Dying soul
Only within
Christ’s outstretched
Hand
Lies the glory, truth of
His promised land
Under His feet
Confusion flees
Before your face
You will see
All lies die
They will end
As He rushes in
New life
New world
As only God can send

A Stupor
In a stupor
We walk
Unaware
As we stare
Blindly
At a world
Only physical
We think
But if you blink
In only one small wink
You can awake
Supernatural
All around
Those beings
Angels to do
His bidding
demons always trying
their own way
To be winning
After walking
On His planet
He left behind
Upon it
A few
Who were
Awake
Then more followed
Until it was
More & more
Now upon
The near & so distant
Shores
More eyes
Hearts wakened
So join
A growing crowd
Even if
You have to shout
To tell what it is
About
Before
It is too late
& their stupor
We cannot abate
As those who
Are now awake
most patiently
await
His return
What Else?
What else is there?
Nothing rings true
Where upon this planet
For this
Lies the cure?
Everything
Rings of the temporary
Over it
Literally stumbles
I know this sounds contrary
A world’s song
Completely different
I know we all long
To believe it
But its useless voice
We must bury it
Wars will come and end
Governments rise & fall
Even death our bodies
Will be allowed to rend
So, listen to the voice
Of your God/Christ
Because there’s really
Nothing, no one else
As He comes back
And we watch
As all the old away
Does melt!
What not me!
A sinner
What not me!
Such words belong
Only to the antiquities
God loves me
This I know
& only blessings
Do I want to be shown
Suffering is not what
I deserve
God should give me
What I want when I want it
Is that not what you observe?
I wish to live as I desire
So tell me no unpleasant words
Like
Obedience
Picking up my cross
Salvation from hell
So please,
Such words to me
Do Not Tell!
But yet,
I sigh
Sometimes I cry
Longing for something
I feel I am missing
I do not have that bliss yet
Where is it of that word
I have often heard
My kismet?
So pastor speak to me
The truth
Perhaps that is
Really the only precious root
Of all existence
I promise to now listen
Without resistance
Come Lord Jesus
Teach me
Holy Spirit reach me
I beg
I wish to only
Be led
Forever & always
Toward your glory
Which eternally and blissfully
Now surrounds your Head!
Half a Chance
Alone
In the cold
Trembling, shaken
A thick darkness enfolds
My heart
Only an unknown terror awaits
For each this is
Our fate
Until You came to fulfill
A plan known only by a few
Before any of creation
Designed by a Father, Spirit
And also You
To save and rebirth
All of your humanity
Living on this green earth
You came to save
Our only chance
Nay,
May I say
We had not half
A chance
Until you came to dance
Among the living dead
So thank you
Holy Christ
For offering yourself
In us you wished to see
Your face
So my tombstone could read
This one He saved
In vain He did not bleed!
Hope everyone has a happy Fourth of July and stay safe! Praise You Lord Jesus!
Why?
Why do we not see
Is it we cannot
Or do not want to be
Faithful, submissive
Obedient
To someone greater
Than the I of me?
Hardening of the heart
To the idea of such a God
To all of life gives
Only a very false start
Saying I don’t
Want to see
Does not change
Our Reality
Open your inner eyes
On just the physical
Do not rely
Do not wear
IGNORANCE
As a disguise
For refusal
A lack of perusal
Into the gracious beauty
Of Our Father/Creator!
