King of Kings
Remind me, Lord – that You have heard, whatever comes, whatever this life brings, I know the King who writes His light over the spirit… gently revealing, a love that never leaves, a hope that always brings assurance of the King of Kings.
Let His blessings flow,
A river to sooth my soul
Lifting my heart, ‘tis all

No Kings Day Everyday
No Kings Day
Everyday
The fear I felt last November
Has
Swollen
Like a Hindenberg blimp directly
Overhead
Seconds from exploding
Time and space back to 1775.
How
Now sent troops’ marching feet
Bear a din, underscoring beat,
Compelling
Alarm
Urgently
To ask, to answer the question:
How might we align
our democracy

Palace visit
A pretty big gate it was...
Overseeing the strict soldiers at the entrance.
Firmly, they stood with heavy weapons.
Stepped inside the picturesque place,
Gentle girls welcomed with grace.
A beautiful big lawn,
Guarded by patient pawns,
Ample aesthetic rooms around,
Occupied by pretty people abound.
Classical songs were playing on one side,
Dancers accompanied them the other side.
People indulged in their adorable arts,
Celebrating

No Kings
See, folks, here's the thing:
in a republic, there is no king,
and in a democracy such as yours or ours,
no one is allowed to have absolute powers.
One of your president's tragic flaws
is that he believes he's above the law;
and while he has scaled the political heights,
it doesn't mean he can trample human rights.
The presidency is not

NO KINGS
We our blessed with many freedoms in America…
We may not always agree on what freedoms each of us select…
and where we often get into trouble is when our opposing views of freedom intersect.
We are free to choose our leaders…
even those who when trying to be a king…cause us suffering and shame…
and when this happens, because

New Identity
When God's fire burns so bright,
It changes us into glorious light.
His children now, His Name we bear,
A love so deep, who can compare.
By His stripes, we are healed,
By His Blood, our destiny is sealed.
Sons and daughters, strong we stand,
Held within His everlasting Hand.
Saved by grace, adorned in robes so white,
Clothed in His Righteousness, shining bright.
With

Killing for Kings
They were armed with spears forged by their sun god
Mighty and mean, terrifying mountain-like marauders
The commander told them the battle would be fierce
Their enemies arrived with their own copper spears
Their breastplates and helmets were equal to the task
The battle raged for three days; the field smelled like blood
Evenly matched, the warriors continued on their quest
Smashing

she
she
she walked along the silken shore
crocheting thoughts and even more
morning could not unravel her
men’s lustful eyes freely traveled her
she cleaned the windows of my soul
laying together between satin sheets
she took my life and rhymed for me
those lines which had always dangled free
and in her hands i could be
an emperor of my destiny
hers was a life

Inspirations for Kings
As blue cornflowers decorate each field giving hope in July.
Kings learn many new opportunities; probing questions;
real self-therapy; unblemished veracity with Xyris yearly zest.

Mama we are your Abba Fathers Kings-Sons-Queens-Daughters

We should have understood
And who to say we didn’t or should

Jesus Christ is King
Stories breath light on my spirit,
Silence the melancholy, reveal the gentle
Listen to the voice of a grace that clings to me,
From the One who sings shelter through His everlasting love.
Images sing beautiful to my soul,
Releasing the music – stars out of control,
Promising joy, peace and so much more,
From the One who lasts forever, a melody

THE KING OF ALL KINGS
A kingdom is an ancient place
Whereby secrecy is a norm
The doors have ears
A kingdom is a home
Whereby safety is imperative
The windows are closed
It is that lingering feeling,
As you hear the sound of the sea
Speaks in tongues
Know that you have arrived
As you feel the wind
Release that air
Know that you have obtained
It
