The Presence
A Presence overhead
Envelops, wraps
Covering you everywhere
No matter whether blue skies
Or how grey the air
Or with whom
The day you may share
No matter
Where you go,
Home, office, a school
While using a computer
Or some other tool
The Presence is always
There
Trying to make sure
You know God cares
In a small house or large
Dirty & small or expensive car
Very loved or destitute & lonely
If the world contained just you
He would have died for you only!
So stop at your desk, look up
Of time it will not take much
Acknowledge, connect
Take the time to select
To spend time with Him
Enjoy, even revel in
The pleasure, joy you will win
Within His Glorious Presence!
gods of earth
Caught up in the here & now
To earthly gods we tend to lean & bow
Comfort, convenience, luxury,
Pleasure
All of these we lust after
Treasure
Let’s turn away
No longer to be fools
Controlled by useless satan’s tools
& their ever growing deceit
So, turn away
From those fragile gods of glass
As easily
Will God’s truth shatter
The shining illusions
Coming close
Will His breath scatter
Destroy
Robbing them of their fraudulent
Joys!

What’s an Imagination For?
Black trees with golden leaves
How can I see such as these?
But yet,
There it is
& to me You do bequeath
The impossible to see
My imagination rises
Without mere eyes
Things to be seen
At each twist & turn
It surprises
Me more and more
As my spirit soars
Above this earth
Takes wings to adore
Your Holy Face
Dearest Lord,
Is that not what an imagination
Is mostly for?

Giving
In the giving
You do the receiving
Therein likes the way of being
Like Christ
Who gave His Only Life
For us
Asking only in His Words
For us to trust
Let go of all the struggling
Of the sometimes pain & strife
Of always the will to get
Then on this journey should we let
Ourselves become that living sacrifice!

Gratitude – A Thanks Giving
Taking our punishment on Himself
Until of all physical life was He bereft
Of all our failures, darkest sins
Were we completely cleansed
Until none of it was left
In return for this should we not
At least a few moments a day
Let go,
Our own careless ways to stop
And say one Thank You!
