ELEGANT EXPLOSION

ELEGANT EXPLOSION



Flowers bloom
So delicate
Gifts
Fragrant
Paint this valley with glory
Jewels from Angels locks
Alive comes spring
Elegant explosion
Me
No longer who I was
Tears stream as I type
I wonder why?





Song of Solomon 2:12 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

12 Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

I TEND TO GET ATTACHED

I TEND TO GET ATTACHED





Tears
Fears
From Yesteryears
People come and go
I tend to get attached
Weakness perhaps
Me nonetheless
I miss those of you
Who have moved on
Wish you well
Abundant blessings
A smooth path to travel
Each one
Has left a unique imprint upon my soul
Forever etched within me
May God guide your instincts
A part of you goes with me always
Go in peace
My dear friends

CLARITY

CLARITY


Remove from me dear GOD
The self centeredness that clouds me
My selfishness thoughtlessness
The lack of patience I often utilize
Please teach me dear Father
Show me your ways
Mold me and shape me
To your divine likeness
I give you my all Holy One
To follow this path you have laid out before me
I have so many questions
I am thankful for the presence of your Interpreter
To accompany every step of the journey
I am not afraid of Satan Dear Father
I shall battle him face to face if it be your bid
All I ask is for clarity
Please make my task clear to me
And I shall serve you diligently
All glory goes to you
AMEN

EXPLODING SKULL

EXPLODING SKULL

Overmedicated
Doctors answers to excruciating pain
A Zombie
In wretched grievous anguish
Searches too find the root of the nerve
Quest of mass importance
Demons of tortuous head pain
Human limits strained
I question God’s lessons
Please teach me in this hell
My body soon shall break
My mere mortal pain threshold at the brink
Shall I learn thy mission?
Before my skull explodes?
My eyes focus on the hellion
Who wreaks his wrath upon me
Renders me as an imbecile
Leaves me in such agony
I trust completely in Christ’s timing
This message shall be powerful and uplifting
I pray for strength my Father
Help me with this task
Give me the necessary power to withstand this awful suffering
Allow me to defeat its brutish timetable.
All victory shall be yours Christ Jesus
Give me the satisfaction of ripping this demons flesh with my teeth
The ones I’ve gnashed on his behalf for so long
I wait patiently for your deliverance my Lord.






Psalm 119:49-51 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

49 Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
50 My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.
51 The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law.

YOUNG SQUIREL

YOUNG SQUIRREL


March 2nd 2006
A cold clear blustery day
I relax on my back porch
Feeling the icy north wind awaken my soul
I eye a tiny furry grey squirrel
He
Eying Me
One floor above me
In an old hickory tree
His fine graying brown hair bristled
In the brisk north wind
His tiny warm body
Hugging the wooden burrow
Perfect set up
For his defensive crib
Hungry Hawk
Circling a mile us
Oblivious to his secret lair
I imagined the young squirrel winked at me
Survivors
He and I
Go in peace young one
Keep your head low
I wish you God’s speed

HE IN ME

HE IN ME

There are beautiful moments in my life
I carry with me always
The birth of my children
A romantic sweet kiss
The soft warm belly of a fat puppy
The glowing sincere eyes of a friend
Then there are scary awkward plateaus
Precarious times when I am completely lost
As now
I know not what trouble lurks within my brain
Be it malignant
Or some sort of wicked imagination
Conjured up by my warped prescription mind
I shall let the Neurologist sort it all out
I do know this without hesitation
All that I am
Everything I stand for
Every fiber in my body and my mind
BELIEVES IN HIM
LOVES HIM UNCONDITIONALLY
HE WHO HATH SAVED ME BY HIS MERCY AND GRACE
JESUS CHRIST
I AM
SON OF GOD
LORD OR LORDS

I hold his hand tightly
As I venture into this bizarre new territory
I smile at the angels HE sends to shadow me each day
I glow in the safety of HIS eternal embrace
I pray you know HIM intimately
You shall never be the same
HE stands there longing to befriend you
All you have to do is ask
SELAH


Luke 12:8 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


8"I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.
