of Knowing Thee

of Knowing Thee

     …Of Thee
holding peace…Glory
 overlying, fine/
quite sheer radiance
overall/
     dimensional
The Omnipotence of Thee 
Most Holy I-AM…
nonperiel
— infinite — intimate —
pervasive Divine
enduring Breath of Life 
composing the songs
   of legions of translucent angels
opening petals unseen
that our souls glean
completely in the blessings
of all the shades and hues 
    of your redeeming life
and light
    (from allizarin to zuggarat)
dressing our hours…
as graced in delight or suffering
bringing degrees of learning
to transform our journeying 
time anew
— from being grown 
    in humanity’s coarse ground
— to becoming branches bearing 
the fruit of this New Wine 
grown from deeply rooted vines
   for Thee, by Thee  and in Thee
from dust to stardust:
magnificent!

————————————*** Inspired by & written for my dear soul-friends at PoetrySoup.com (especially of late for the support given to me & Jim duing  my illnss), as I am so daily touched by their poetry’s deeply creative spirits  voicing their devotion to Our Holy Father God and King.  I have found no other place on-line as similarly expressive of such blessed love.  Finding the world of poetry here& & the sweet fellowship it founds, saved my life from a degree of lonliness & grief, after my beloved poet friend here in KY committed suicide without warning in 2019". I am so thankful…to God for the open & ready hearts that may be found here.  In the theme of many poems I’ve read here, I’ve truly re-defined my definition of Gratitude.  I repeatedly & repeatedly, too, pray God will bless all of you!

WITH ALL HIS LOVE-

With all His love
With all His love
With all His love


He gives in Jesus name;
All such should live in Jesus name;
And He never stops, He looks beyond our fought
Glory, Hallelujah

With all His love
With all His love
With all His love

It’s what God does;
Just what He did;
Allowed Jesus to die for us;
He mends the broken heart;
He rebuilds those the walls that are broken;
He heals the hurt, He founds the lost
He gives in Jesus name;
All such praise Him and God, glory, Hallelujah

With all His love
With all His love

Premium Member Outside the Camp

Outside the camp
In mocking cruelty
They crucified
Their King.

‘Away with him’
They cried,
And thus
Religion triumphed
For another day,
The status quo
Preserved for priests
Impelled by hatred
To defend their faulted cause.

Too blind to see
The God-writ symbols
Of their ancient rites,
Those pointers
To the Prince of Life
They pierced
And pinned
Outside the camp.
They saw their deed
A timely vindication
Of their careful rule
To keep the Roman peace.

This self-appointed Christ
Suits not their concepts
Of Messiah come –
Too mild to liberate
Their Israel from its pagan yoke.
Dark prejudice saw not
This faultless Christ,
Messiah born to live
And die
Deliverance
For the greater captives
Chained in slavery to sin.

Outside the camp
His death-cry founds
A kingdom
Mightier than a thousand Romes,
And crumbles all the edifice
Of Judah’s temple fair.

Outside the camp
In death
He slew the greater foe – 
And I go free!

Written many years ago after reading these words: “Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.”
   Hebrews 13:12-13

Ode for a Fortunate Infant

Ode for a Fortunate Infant

Newborn: 
  Smacked and 
    Screaming —
 Hardly more than a new fact,
    A statistic
Already forgetting
    The crush into Becoming.
This “tabula rasa,” 
Kicking and flailing,
Not yet swaddled or cradled,
Held only by Fate
In the first minutes of Destiny 
  (unformed and waiting)
With a heart
Needing to be embracd
By more than just touch,
But blessed to completely feel
The warmth of Acceptance 
That founds a first sense
Of Identity as being a Self 
    Here linked with Others…
For the first lessons of Love — 
Swaddled in belonging
Wrapped with thanksgiving.

Premium Member Disparate

Disparate, she commented,
The word reverberating
As fond music, with pleasant 
Measures and tingly tones -- 
And should we not be open
To others’ voices, divergence of
Thinking? As with clear-eyed
And blinking, a look-see is worth
The now, hoping, anticipated 
Enlivened journey of daring 
Vistas, elongated dimensions -- 
Spirit/mind ever on the hunt for
Spirit/source – life is a series
Of Lost And Founds...squares
Seeking their counterpart rounds -- 
Not diametrically opposed, just
Points and edges making intriguing
Bounds – but never a harmony all 
Quaking Spheres.  Simply enjoying
A unique volume of eyes, noses, voices 
And pert little ears.


Wems Henry Temmy Psalm 54


I stood
Observing in the scene
The rude wind in the wood
During cuisine

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

Be loyal
To only unwise friend
You'll be treated royal
Ever unbend  

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

I know
It is of no use 
Never to forego 
water from a sluice 

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

The sea 
Of our life's end is unseen,
A ever able caged escapee 
In marine 

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

How waves 
Yearn up and down 
Dancing to the airwaves 
Unruly frown 

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

You control 
The sea listens to be so still
And the wearies are console 
Lives refill 

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

Moonlit River 
Paints the calm waves of nature sway
By which humans accompany its diver 
In gay

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

Peaceful atmosphere 
it creates give joy and peace in true guise
Though the treats and love don't adhere
Without prize

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal

Happiness surrounds
Home of little children good together
Great experience of exposure founds
Change weather

Nullify needs
That would have to unseal
The deceits growing weeds 
Bye peal
