On Second Thoughts By David Kavanagh

By David Kavanagh


On second thoughts
When instinct becomes 
an educated guess
And improvisation 
demands quick redress
Like thinking on one’s feet
if too drunk to stand
Be found all at sea
throwing up on dry land

Twisted situations 
we find ourselves in
When bundles of joy
reek original sin
Smack on the butt
for showing a bit of cheek
Do everything perfect
get labelled a freak

Gestures, signals, 
often

The Star of David

The star of David
twinkling since eternity
blessing Israel

I talked with the new moon tonight

I talked with the new moon tonight,
And asked: - How fast,
How slow
The seasons come and go,
The birds migrate, the grass is getting dry,
And not be late
In life,
In death,
At birth, how loud do we have to shout?
How long to stay?
And wait,
And count,
How slow, how fast we have to love,
And get a glimpse of quicksand,
A touch of

from top to bottom, like a
root,
she stretched across the entire 
canvas,

eyes, petals, closed

water ~ 


            

A DANCE LIKE DAVID--2 Samuel 6:14-16

A DANCE LIKE DAVID/2 Samuel 6:14-16

Dance dance david dance dance dance dance
A DANCE LIKE DAVID filled with joy,
Danced before the Ark 
Of the Covenant as it was brought to Jerusalem. 
David danced before the Lord
A dance like David did danced
O' how he danced
With all his might;
Was girded with a linen ephod
O' he did dance
A dance

David the Dendrite

David the Dendrite (it means Tree-Dweller)

how the people loved this eccentric fellow

for three years he lived in a tree

yes he was the saint of Thessaloniki

David Graham

Just one year ago, he was alive and walking around.
But he passed away and he's buried in the ground.
He provided the voices of Daleks on the classic Doctor Who.
When people say he was a talented actor, it's certainly true.
When his life came to an end, it was a shame.
He was British and David Graham was

Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did

According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires.
Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis-
couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let
him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls.
In order for them they to

the look of you in my David Bowie t-shirt

i swore to myself
when i saw who she became
that i would never want a domestic life,
i would never settle down.
but the simple act,
of holding you,
listening to the sounds of your sleeping
as you lay in my purple David Bowie t-shirt
two sizes too big,
i think i changed my mind.
i want a life with you.
i don't care if

MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD SAMUEL 614-16

MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD (SAMUEL 6:14-16)

Mighty David praised and danced before God
David was a high stepper
A toe tapper
Man did He love God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
And David danced before the Lord
And David danced before the Lord
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Wearing His priestly

David And Goliath

David was advised by his kin
the sling's the thing
if you want to win
tho' small as he was
without fear
he did let fly
and rocked Goliath's world
right between the eyes
before he had time
to come near
or even throw his spear
alone from afar David did fling
and with a single stone's throw
he let go one shot to the head
and brought the

Like David, I Dance Undignified For You God

I will dance before You, O Lord,
Not with the steps of men,
But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones.

I will move without rhythm,
I will leap without pattern,
For my praise is not for show
It is for You alone, my God and King.

I will dance as one set free,
As one who remembers the pit

DAVID : Sculpture : Michelangelo: Florence : 1501

  “Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone,
so long as ruin and dishonour reign ;
to bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain ;
then wake me not, speak in an undertone !”
                  

David and Goliath

David & Goliath
 Big vs Small
 Pebbles vs Sword
 David vs Goliath
 Tall vs Short
 Sling-Shot
 Sword and Shield
 Sheppards Boy
 Giant to Sky
 Just a few stones
 On the battle ground
 Bravely won
 Shepherd boy on the throne
 Respect from the crowd
 New King in town
