Premium Member The Queen Has a Navy that Floats in Her Gravy
The Queen has a navy That floats in her gravy, It’s sharp and its clear, But it’s sure tough to steer, For the rudders get stuck In that thick, grayish muck, And the lads in the stern Have a penchant to yearn For the bright shining waters All popping with otters, Yet they smile as they sail past Her Majesty’s repast, And wink as they think That...

The False Conviction
It sits heavy, like an iron weight that’s held in my gut too many years, longer than the son of God trudged his days through dust and spit and bitter wine. and who am I to think I’m different? I’ve carried it past innocence, dragged it through beds, through bottles, through empty rooms with broken clocks. I knew the lie before it learned...

Premium Member He Will Fix Us
When words are spoken in anger, Leaving regret and shameful lines, penned By hearts who needed to vent – to express The darkness that betrays their need For healing, for breathing, for revealing Each whisper of loss and lessons Still to be learned, messages from the One Who we call on when we’re sure… There is only one place we can go, One...

The Way Narrows
Understanding another person’s line of thought cannot end with mere tolerance. When basic beliefs differ, when I feel distraught I hear my spirit as it chants - Faith is substance of which no Christian recants. When challenged, ask, seek and knock, lest altercation alters your mind and heart. Trust your foundation to the Solid Rock; speak the truth in love, not as an...

From my heart There is a peace, a joy That comes from believing He is always with me, He silences the worries, Fills me up with hope and courage, Inspires me to give away All the love that He stimulates With the grace that He provides Grace that is so much - alive, Like the dazzling stars at night Like the sun who shines so bright Like...

For now he is unfettered and alive, With the possibilities of the universe. To know and be certain, That is the way of the Knight. Whose strength is in his wisdom, And whose light shines through...

Before My Conviction Falters
Sunlight fading on my excited brows Her image embedded to the very depths of my soul The clouds turn dark and cold wind blows, I quickly drag my feet to the washing bowl Then I lay in my memories of her beauty to behold With a smile that could further brighten up a sunny day Eyes that sparkle like dew in...

I Remember It So Well
It was the 14th day of the 4th month In the 20th year of the 21st-Century The Common Era. I remember it so well! Not because it was the hundredth plus five, today Of what appeared to be the hoped-for, tomorrows In what should be the worst calendar, To any peoples' year. But only because it was the first time, I tore down...
