Picture It
I had a vision,
In which I could see,
Myself up high above You,
Taking glory, my arms spread wide.
In this evil state,
I could hear seducing voices,
Calling me to the edge,
Of the ledge, the end.
I went to that place,
Passing faces, and breaking glass,
To harm all others along the way,
All the while, forcing Your blood to flow.
As I caught

Nature's Trio - Wonder, Love, Beauty
North star that shines on clear night.
Sat still, at peace, on moon's right.
How does the small moon prince thrive?
At night flies a bright, white kite.
In comes the wash of high tide.
Two pairs of feet side by side.
Where did they go? Who were they?
Far off, see! The groom and bride.
Sun

Begin Afresh Every Morning
Begin afresh every morning,
After the sweetness of sound sleep;
Meet the new light with open eyes,
Leave the twilight so dark and deep.
Just start over every sunrise,
To feel the warmth of the beacon;
The cold eventide disappears
Into thin air of oblivion.
Arise again every cockcrow,
To thank the Lord for His mercy;
Be grateful

Faith Flame Fly Afresh
On duty, don’t fall asleep
Lest your future should weep
As faith fervor you fail to keep
Indulging concerns of flesh in your crèche
But faith fervor refresh
For faith flame to fly afresh
Now, today and tomorrow as pride you swallow
Or else fantasy and fancy you’ll follow
To drive your faith callow, hollow and sallow
Swimming in a sea of little depth
Gasping

Newly Afresh
Forgotten old time of sinful life
As I boldly stand with shinning lights
Then my lamp filled up in Holiness
As my oil is sustained by faithfulness
Period of darkness lust and vice
Lost forever and never will it be alive
Falling and rising never my time
Purity and chastity never got for a dime
Was bounded and made a living dead
But then

Afresh
Afresh my motion has to begin.
Again my wings of toil have to flap;
A tinker's task to reshape my heart benign
To quench the gaping chasm and fill the gap;
To let anew my ambitions roam,
And dreams to seep and pervade
To the limitless shores of heaven and home,
Until the farewell is tearfully bade.

Relive Afresh!
Stranger in life changed cry to smile
Cared more than self can ever desire
Rested my soul without any doubt
Slowly taken to a sweet dreamy cloud
Put on all faith without a question
Believed you are the only one!
Understood all said and unsaid
Life felt as if innocent beauty fed
May be I was wrong to recline
My fault to do as

Afresh
Never were words
so quietly and powerfully
uttered with my
breath
than when I
admitted that,
yes,
I do indeed
love you
and I will follow
and lead
and tread lightly
and run hard
be both teacher and pupil
on this sojourn
on earth with you.
We are now open to
the promise
of a shared future
through sunrise
and moonglow
moving with purpose
and fresh conviction
through the course of
all of our
