A Cup Runneth Over

My cup in dry abyss boils over
Condensing dewdrops in vapors of blessing
Into foaming condensed extracts
Like effervescence of divine dust
That bubbles up to the rim.

Rescued like a fallen star
From arid droughts
You send my thirsting emptiness
Like a winter deer to search for streams 
And...

A Cup Runneth Over

His cup runneth over, yet he craves more
As flights of hubris on wings of greed soar,
Rich is the life of caviar and champagne,
Where ruthlessness wins his races in fast-lane
And nightmares roil semblance of sane;
His cup runneth over, yet he fills again.

Some sans...

Prayer is something we can do
When all the pain is raw like a wound
Cutting the heart with its harsh
Blade, twisting, curled, burning away
Every piece of hope, each precious
Chance for new light, further grace

Prayer is the one thing we can give
To those who are hurting, those...

When I hear the chirping of bizarre birds in the morning,
And see the sun gently rising; golden rays adorning;
And feel the graciousness of the almighty upon me,
Who, by his abundant mercy, gave me a day to see;
My heart overflows with joy like water from Angel-falls,
From...

The Lord is my shepherd, no want shall I know;
I lie in green pastures, by still waters go;
My soul is restored and the right paths He shows--
	My cup runneth over with joy.

Though I may walk through death’s shadowy night,
His rod and His staff comfort me...

My cup runneth over at age seventy-eight
Will it ever slow down to give me a break

Thought ahead when I was a younger man
Love in my seventies was not in the plan

However in my mind I'm as active as ever
Always can be found searching for pleasure

Pleasures...

"Here Runneth the Path of Fairy Feet"
by Rachel Heffington

Where childhood fancy and twilight meet
Here runneth the path of fairy-feet;
On shadowed road and misty bend
Here coldsome facts of "real life" end,
And the simplest thing on earth would be
To find a dryad 'neath her tree.
She'd comb her...

A cup runneth over surely prevails
Above dining table midst angst of dearth
Oh, bountiful supply that never fails
Since God pours always blessings with grace-worth.

Evidence of miracles’ prevalence
A cup runneth over surely prevails
Smiting unbelief of great turbulence
For the Lord grants gracious provision-pails.

Against scarcity that grievously ails
Afflicting giving...

My cup runneth over
I’m dancing each day with delight
Calm, carefree in clover
Celebrate a cool summer night

The beauty of each day
Silently sings my soul be still
The wisdom and the way
Freely fashions my cup to fill

Shadows do not scare me
Goodness and mercy will follow
The valley now will...

A Cup Runneth Over


we're sorry no pets
poststorm dog barks wag nonstop
an arched cat hisses

cool shades show a view
advanced a treat much delight
sun-kissed blossoming

a smile comes my way
my countenance is induced
courtesies likewise

get the camera
oh just about almost...

             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
