Only true remorse
Causes the flower of God’s grace
to bloom more fully!

Different!
Different
(Choice)
Each has that need
Babies come into
The world with it
For Love
So we try to fit
In
Another smile to win
From
Someone else
True we were made
To be together
Be each other’s sister
Or brother
No one wants to stand
Alone
But unaware
We follow sometimes
The wrong direction
Follow behind that
Very long, wrong line
Yet a voice
From deep within
Speaks, calls, to follow
Another
To follow Him
Christ will not lead
You astray
He leads toward
Life, the light
Never the wrong way
So stand out
Be different
Follow the right voice
You cannot avoid it
For simply in not choosing
You have made your choice

Haiku
Time stands still within
Man loses total control
inside Heaven’s Gates
Holy Santa?
Holy Santa?
Warm, fuzzy & cuddly
Nothing wrong with that
Except
Depends upon who you’re
Talking about
Older man in a bright red suit
Well-endowed middle
And a long white beard
You know of whom I speak
Without having to take one peek
Gift giver
Jingle bells
I don’t have to tell
Except I will,
Santa
Jolly and fun
Face beaming like
The sun
Man’s perfect idea
For a god
Except Santa
Is not real
I hate to burst your bubble
But I feel
You already know!
Only God is God
Good giver of gifts
But He wants to lift
Your life higher
Wants more for you
Than material wealth
Or to give only toys
Desires for man
A truer, higher joy
Purer, less selfish life
Fashioned along the lines
Of His Own Mind
Pertinent to any time
You may live within
So, God is
Warm, fuzzy & cuddly
All of that
But
Let’s not fashion Him
From a legend or fable
HE SAYS He is able
Powerful, capable
Of so much more!

Day & Night
Our world exists
2 sides to the coin
One side lives in light, sun
As the other slumbers
In darkness
So it will be when
Our King returns
For that holy day
All who love him
Should deeply yearn
Some will be given the
Joy of light forever
Others in dark pain will
Be in weeping, wailing
Gnashing of teeth
As they run for cover
Where the worms
Never die
Fire is never quenched
Words from a book
That never lies
Before it is too late
As Christ flings open
Heaven’s gates
Stands and knocks
Let Him in
Replace your sin
With obedience
Join in the frolicking
As you receive
Your first glance
Of His great and
Mighty return
Mark 9:48 where the worms that eat them do not die and the fire is not quenched. NIV
Matthew 13:50 and throw them into the blazing furnace; where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. NIV
Malachi 4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. NIV

Small Sparks
Small sparks
May burn large forests
Trees, bushes inhabitants
All
So do not listen to a
Lost world’s siren call
To not burn as brightly
As you can
You just may be
that Spark that fills your land
With the burning passion
Of a risen Lord/King
Inspires his family/church
To spread their wings
And
‘Awake O sleeper
Rise from the dead
And Christ will shine
On you.’1
He longs to pour over all
His lovely Spirit’s call
To inspire each and everyone
to become a mirrored image of
His Most Perfect Son!
So, if you believe in a
Risen king
Then you carry His power
All His life-giving songs
Are entrusted to sing
His words, thoughts,
Gifts
Await for all
Each to inspire and lift
His body, his church
To a much greater good
Be more than before
Change His world!
Shake His Church!
Be his righteous servants
As indeed we all should.
1Ephesians 5:14 Wake up, sleeper
Rise from the dead
And Christ will shine on you.

Rushing
Rushing here
Rushing there
People pushing
Looking, searching
Everywhere!
We have stress
I understand the tests
We go through everyday
But for a moment
Could we not just stay?
To let go
Of the constant
Looking for the
Something
We don’t even know
Why or what we
Look for
This constant rushing
Will rob you of
All your joy
I cannot stop
You say
Because if I do
Then
I will feel the pain
The separation I feel
The need
The hole in my middle
Which continues to bleed
We have separated
From the source of life
A living, breathing
God/Creator/Loving Father
He does not wish for us
This terrible, horrible strife
We put ourselves thru
Each day we begin anew
With the rushing,
Accumulating of more
More useless things
Less joy
So, seek your God
Let go of seeking
Useless idols
Let life be in the being
With, in the presence of
the One who
Can fill the emptiness
And lay your pain to rest
John 14:27 My peace I give to you, my peace I leave you. I do not give to you as the world gives. So do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Satan
Satan
Murderer,
Prince of this world
Deceiver
Father of all lies
Prowling
A roaring lion
Looking for someone
To devour
Do not let him
Have you
This deluder
Resist
He will flee
At the name of
The only One
Jesus Christ
the Lord
darkness flees
before Him
so, do not let
the dark one
use his greatest
weapon,
for you not
to believe
he exists
There YOU Are!
There You Are!
(only a glimpse)
Fully awake, suddenly
No longer asleep
Deep, velvet blackness
Is all I can see
Then a spiral
Clouds of purest white
Appear in a distance
I give only a glance
Then it happens
I’m at your feet
Blinding light envelops
My breath I cannot keep
I feel your power
Why for me this shower?
Glory on display
Brighter than any sun’s day
Rainbow colors
Bright hues
Dance, move madly
Dancing to their own tunes
I try to turn away
But by your hand I am stayed
I take a second Glimpse so brief
But suddenly I am released
And I am back
Inside my body
Thrust back into my world
I have been hurled
Back into the merely physical
But Oh, the glory I did see!
Such other worldly beauty
Of all strife and pain is free!
The Self

Self
Self is an illusion
Selfishness a greater tragedy
I am an extension,
Imprinted with and by
Someone Else.
Created in another’s image
Given some of His attributes
Living in His pleasure
I reach out my hand
And return to the one
I came from.
Death is a release
from my separation
From my Creator/God
This, my Yahweh.
