If one doubts the existence of God-his own existence, he doubts!

Hey, if you really are
who you say you are,
then stop the war. 

You will save us, you say -
really? then lead the way,
hold the oppressors at bay.

All tyrants forever vanquish,
evil men from the earth vanish,
the righteous do not punish.

Start doing your job, damn it,
your flock...

You write simply to baffle
You draw from deep dark pools
You offer tear stained searching eyes
The unbelief of fools.

You have the fetching meter
And choice of words arrests
But Friend no helping hand here
To deal with life's hard tests.

Your readers seek out wisdom
And comfort from rich verse
But witty...

You think what I do is a joke
Some kind of elaborate hoax
Never understanding what goes on
Barely looking further than skin deep

I bury my feelings
Hidden under the surface, bleeding
While I’m trapped inside my mind
You assume everything is just fine

I keep things private
No worries from everyone else
Secrets...

Everyone sees something different when they look up into the stars. Somewhere there’s a young boy dreaming of becoming the first astronaut to meet new life, on a distant planet. Far away, or maybe just down the street there is an old woman hoping that...

With more than a hint of anxiety
I doubt all around me
Seeing demons in every shadow
I worry constantly

No rest for my mind
No peace for my conscience
Every breeze that blows
Is an omen of impending doom

I feel so marooned
Far away from tranquillity
I need someone to rescue me

I question...

Doubting The Word

To doubt what the Word of God says
is the most foolish thing that we as humans can do
and to listen to the devil’s voice
will only to his amusement make a fool out of you.

The nickname Doubting Thomas 
stuck to that disciple just like...

On this morning Thomas awoke 
Ready to take on a forecast predicting he would get soaked 
Still doubting thinking meteorology was a joke 
Headed outside 
Winds blowing no lie 
Running back under covers 
Twenty four hours washed out waiting for another 
Throughout the rainy day...

He still hasn't called,
I check the dial tone again

sure enough, 
it's still there 
buzzing 
alone without conversation

It's unbearably obvious
that I mistook our chats
as a sign of tenderness
and not what they really were,

me listening wistfully
to those false I miss you's
and forging them 
into more than words

into...

Throughout my young life
I've been taught the ways of God
I've never doubted the teachings
But now it strikes me as odd

The Holy Book as I've read
I can't take seriously
I don't mean to insult fellow followers
But it's shot with inconsistencies

Does it make me evil?
A Christian doubting his...

With confidence I tell you - Get your own.
Imperfections you fear will be exposed
are what qualify you as you alone,
and you alone are owed for this composed:
Consider all you are and have to share -
A mother, you might be, soft spoken, sweet,
soothing your daughter in...

He looks at the sky
No hope in his eye
Inside he is broken
Bottled feelings unspoken
Hands tied together
His future forcast doesnt look as if it gets better
Pacing frequently from side to side 
Along the road he lost his pride 
He looks at the sky
As tears fall from...

You’re making me go mad,
Making me miss what we had.
You made my emotions mix,
Something I can’t fix.

Your smile gets me tongue tied,
All the nights I have cried.
My feelings for you grew,
But our love could never be true.

You say you don’t know,
But my feelings still grow.
I...

Sensing the death of something
That once brought more life than 
The heartbeat or breath, faith
In the beautiful and intimate places
Where light kisses away the darkness
And music replaces the most horrible
Dread with a feeling so blessed,
So inspiring it rests amid the seas of 
Tranquil revelations, soothing...

believe
loyal, truly 
trusting, reassuring, promising
expect, imagine, hesitate, suspicion
suspecting, questioning, disbelieving
wary, cynical
doubt
