Faith Poems

Vegans want protected status given to religious beliefs, 
good grief,
they see themselves objectively separate, 
a people underneath, 
claim they are bullied when really teased, 
it’s unnatural to never eat meat, 
compare a faith with your choice of diet, 
know your...Read More

Myth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch

Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse
over fields of wayward gorse
and thistle-throttled lanes.

And she is the myth of the scythed wheat
hewn and sighing, complete,
waiting, lain in a low sheaf?
full of faith, full of...Read More

When we're faced with
Life's situations that seek
To alter our paths in a 
Negative manner and each
Researched solution seems
To drift away at every turn,
Seeds of insecurity and frustration
Are planted and doubt takes root
To our cerebrums
Like weeds to a garden.
We fall to...Read More

A country church nestled in a peaceful valley,
Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched  malady,
That beset the human soul and rich surroundings.

Beautiful dog-wood trees with blossoms snowy white,
Bounded by rocks as old as the...Read More

Faith is conceptual belief
and like heaven itself 
it needs no proof
as it transcends time, place,
history, culture and space.
Yet, as faithful as we may be,
we are not of heaven
but are beings of the earth—
Unable to divorce ourselves
from the experiences of time,...Read More

       Come, my dear, take my hand; have no fear

The tree of senses keeps me close to my conscience,
liberating the bondage of believes in existence.
In certainty of identification to belong in effect,
by family as race and nationality towards self-image detect. 
The individual perspective by self awareness in social situation,
maintains...Read More

In our life-building engagement…
does genuine love prevail, upholding our commitment?

For this evaluative retrospection endeavor 
what response is needed to show our caring* fervor? 

Within our partnership, can lonely hearts find their home
feeling the warmth from our sweet grace-dome?

Do we cherish...Read More

My demons were in a slumber
I finally saw grime on the glamour

My demons were asleep and done
When I saw goodness in everyone

I confronted hatred and jealousy
With kindness and generosity

I overwrote scars of enmity
With shades of benignity

My red eyes intoxicated by...Read More

Liberal and poetic translation of an extract from the verse portion of Lotus Sutra, Chapter 25 (Avalokitesvara Chapter).


Sentient Beings mired in myriad hardships, 
Who toss and turn and buckle under 
Relentless anxieties, the fog of uncertainty, 
Shall find relief in...Read More

Let your heart have trust in God, 
Midst strong storm and vile weather; 
Keep your head above the flood, 
Let your hope be always there.

Let your mind possess belief
Or persuasion so solid; 
Undaunted by pip and grief, 
Your faith is...Read More

Lorne Park Christmas at our parents and grandparents beautiful house,
The beautiful floor to ceiling Christmas Tree.

Decorated with our favorite decorations and Christmas lights.
The tree stood on grandma's beautiful carved linen chest in front of the lving-room window.

Cognizant of humanity’s befallen verdict
Deliberately transgressing sovereign laws
Affirming carnal nature flaws…
Yet You, God Almighty, quickened my soul along divine edict.

Midst condemnation terrifying my heart
Frightened to face death’s agonizing seizure
With horrifying sting of grave-pressure… 
Still, You offered me redemption-grace, never will...Read More

I keep on counting looses
Nostalgic, smile
Hope-filled, equal
At the table of heroes....Read More

Unfair Calories 

Chocolate cake, 
can be eaten fast or slow. 
Depends on who, 
is at the end of the fork. 
But I tell you true, 
there is a thing that happens, 
to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More

Cyrus...

President of the country, 
not like any that came before. 
Or... Like any that will follow. 
Standing in the gap between the flood, 
and the waters of eternity, 
threatening to consume the weak, 
kill the innocent, 
and feast on the...Read More

True freedom can feel like an exquisite jail
Our inhabited space bound by bars we drink in.
Child’s nutrition once favored, a lap dance now passé,
Our restaurants change with new owners, or chefs find
New orbits, food loved fades as children leave home...Read More

Strange Weather 

The camels are swimming, 
and who knew...
they knew how?
What a surprise...
to all that stood by, 
watching them cross the desert, 
like ducks on a pond. 

Careful and fearful, 
some should be, 
as the sucking sand, 
has grown hungry.
Pulling...Read More

God of changing changelessness.
God of endless surprises,
confounding the confoundless.
You are the God of Paradox,
revealing to children, that,
which you hide from the learned.
Those mortals you touch,
utterly transformed, Divinely
refereeing matches between
angelic wrestlers and mere mortals,
Jacob becoming the limping Israel,
Moses’ staff raining down...Read More

Believing We Can
Written: by Miracle Man
2-17-2020

Each day I'm reminded that God's in control,
it's important to notice, things He has made.
From placement in the ocean of each atoll,
to the forest and His placement of a glade. 

But we too, are known...Read More

Wake

What is that noise?
I have heard it before?
In the ramblings...
of my loved ones words? 

I must get up and seek it out.
I rise like the house is on fire...
but in fear of being alive, 
but dead still. 
I rush.
I place...Read More
