Epithalamion for the Ark Lovers
There was once a dashing lad
from the mid-coast of Maine
who courted a comely duchess
from the Westerly. Now, Maine is
two lands off from the Westerly
which is a province under
its own sovereign rule, on an Island
named Rhode, but they rescued
what desperately needed to be loved
in the other’s marrow, each
of their own

Filled by the Holy Spirit
My soul is lifted out of my mind.
In its stead—
filled by the Holy Spirit,
guided in silence by its breath...
like an angry wind held still
above a river born of crashing falls,
with a tooth that grinds iniquities,
and a sacred flame
that cooks the soul, the mind, the spirit—
to perfection...
for the baptism of old me
to become a whole

Museless Mutterings
My mind is on red training wheels
Muse is gone and I’ve got a thrill
In writing about shouting daffodils
Moving around never staying still
Lost in thought a fun place to be
With original parts wonderful dreams
The art of heavy hearts creating
The next Noah’s ark in valley green
And they’d say you’re manic and mad
Why build an ark in

AFRICA'S SACRED ARK
Soon,
The sacred black ashes and dark disfigured, but resilient bones of our enslaved, enraged and estranged ancestors,
Will awake from their centuries of dazed, polluted and denigrated slumber, to reclaim, revamp their bastardized and emasculated glories;
Glories, tainted with the dung of barbecued corruption, oppression and suppression from our headmasters'
Soon,
Our ancestors will release us from the

The Living Ark
An Ark was made by human hands
Constructed precisely to His plans
A seat with golden angels on the ends
Hovering above He directs their wends
For centuries with the tablets in place
His commands disregarded in disgrace
Since many forgot the covenant made
It was taken away, its memory to fade
But in time a new thing shall be

Sermon on the Ark
(Dedicated to Sniffers.)
We are All animals, humans too
every One of us, me and you
God breathed life into Adam and Eve,
into each creature. Atoms unperceived
The animal kingdom is the Kingdom of God:
A harmony without heirarchy, below and above
All dogs go to heaven because all of us do,
every Soul returns to the Creator anew

Furry Ones with Sprinkles
They said this strange man ate his squirrel:
such a lovely arboreal rodent, a creature that nibbles.
First he eats its legs, then its body,
but omits the heart. That is precious.
What? We do not eat a squirrel?
Boiled, broiled, roasted or raw? With sprinkles?
There are strange people who choose
certain creatures of fur. But never one that gnaws?
And those

O It's High Time To All Get Aboard God's Ark of Safety
O It's high time for all to get aboard God's very own ark of safety y
No unlike my family used to tease each other during a prolonged
heavy rainstorm, "It's time to resurrect Noah, and have him build

When Will the Door of the Ark of Safety Close Part Three
Jesus Christ's is the only remaining doorway of the spiritual ark of our safety.
It is impossible to go to GOD the Father except through Jesus Christ. For
there is no other name given among people but through him by which we
must be saved. When the rapture happens, the door of the ark of safety
belonging
