Heaven's Poetry


Heaven's poetry
Etched in lives
Unworthy prone
To living lies
Heaven's prose
The realm of prayer
When hoping for
Heart made bare
Before the throne
Dreams come true
When all for me
Is all for you.

~Inspired by Ephesians 2:10

Saved!


Sea Oats bow and bend before the wind
On dunes securing place and livelihood
The roots delve deep protecting sand from waves
Saving one another understood

Attending Church



Attending church,
Is it rote?
Or does worship
Sing the note
Yet imagined?
Seeking soul
Reunites
The one to whole.

City on a Hill



Deplorable, I'd rather be
Than unctuous, blind before a crown
Gained only by nefarious means;
Guilt?  Admit?  It is renowned
Among these deemed unwashed, unclean
Masses who desire wall
And dare to speak, heart and mind,
Before they see a nation fall,
That once stood proud, enlightened city
On a hill, heaven's hold
Upon the earthly bonds of men,
To bid them heaven's truth be told.

Carousel Ponies



Carousel ponies, garishly painted,
Attract washed, unwashed, the same.
Round and round the gallop revolves,
Unending pledge falsely proclaimed.
Gold ring!  The prize!  Reach out!  Seize!
Merry-go-round not merry at all.
The children, fraught with worry, fear
At any moment, horses will fall
Up and down, up and down,
Until momentum runs its course.
The ride no more, no more the ride;
To feckless stable, goes the horse.

The Voice of the Lord




I hear you, Lord, not with words
Spoken; I hear you
Indefinably, yet undeniably
I know You are there.  You speak
In language I can only grasp in soul
I rest my case, by grace, this sinning heart
Will treasure an inheritance's promise.
