"LUX VITAE LUX"
Here you stamp
your mark of
approval or not
We meet at the point
where a Father
is the judge of what is good
and what is not.
And we try so hard
to avoid heart contact
over all the plundering words said
light and dark
yet we open minds
that chance by our trials
to believe in something bigger -
Ours
in hours
kangaroo courts
turn triggers
forgiveness
bleeds kindness
that empowers
never forgotten
never left behind
key burns the open backhand
for Heart’s gate
the golden thread
gifted you
through eye of needle
labyrinthine
smyth sewn into
the fabric of you
You,
of all people
I will bring through
with me
to the other side
Evensong -
though you don't believe,
I did all along

Just missing one thing making all else null and void
What you think you bring through Him you enjoyed
Everything you own or what you say you have made
Had you known perhaps more you would have prayed
That breath you took each one mercifully given to you
Your individual look to which you had nothing to do
So it is with all the rest but for God's great Love and Grace
Even at your verily best it is God that you can never replace
Your memory so short in not placing Jesus for all to see
Such a small time to report compared to all of eternity
Don't wait another minute to give Him a sign of praise
So not to admit you didn't let Him in any of your days
His signature is on my heart a blessing above all things
As we all need to keep praising the Blessings He brings
Turn about in your way by realizing His Amazing Mercies
The one who gives the Lord their day is the one who sees

Into green waters
Of the depths of the shallow
I get into the water
I feel what waters
Bring through it in the tropics
The churning of the small waves
Warm feel of ocean
Beneath my toes and freely
Below the lip of the waves
Swimming I flow on
Finding treasures at bottom
Luscious shells adoration
Few animals flow
Before me in this swimmer’s
Lust, sweet lurid paradise
Embodied to seas
I become a lone swimmer
Tropical lone purity
