Fireflying
Through dusk’s shadows they soar,
flickering evening lights,
flies flashing cold fire,
bugs unleashing lightning,
micro-luminescent,
miniscule miracles.
Though fainter than candles,
clustered firefly flocks
flash brighter than stars
in summer night skies,
sparking joyous wonder,
fluttering till sunrise.
In our darkened world,
can we shine like them,
glimmering in the gloom,
gifting goodness and hope
for all those who grieve
until a new dawn?

Canine Evangelism
My pup ate some theology;
some fifty pages have been freed.
Now bound for glory, they have gone:
the word of dog, upon the lawn.

Praying With Others
Some days it gets to me
Requests for prayer, currency
One can try quiet neutrality
But stories are hard, dependency
Here: crystal, Meth, Tik, or glass-y
U pray today, they call U "kuk" next day
It's the drug, makes voice big, manly
Others lost money, all, personality
Others want me to save their jobs
It's hard to bring them to Kerk, "slobs"
Believe they need

Love Under R17 - Or 17 Rands
As I write ... streams slow
And a trickle of guilt
Flow, flow, flow
"Father, father, Faaathhher"
From beyond my gate and border
"Pastor, pastor, pastor"
Was the cry an hour before
He, Shady, got 5 Rands; he hoped for more
But as I write, I decide
Wonga won't be attended to
8 o'Clock at night? No, Charity will wait
I have shared uncooked & cooked

Beautiful Feet of Evangelism
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
harness the glory trails;
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
I walked for God's glory;
To heal and back for this story;
To share with man and men;
To sleep and rise and do it all again;
waters fill my soul;
My sandals I worn, filled with earthy shore;
But my feet are pure;
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
Spread the word, to lost and
