I, Lazarus
by Michael R. Burch
I, Lazarus, without a heart,
devoid of blood and spiritless,
lay in the darkness, meritless:
my corpse?a thing cold, dead, apart.
But then I thought I heard?a Voice,
a Voice that called me from...

"The Pages"
Missing all those years
like a page you could turn,
a book you could throw casually aside,
to be eternally forgotten in electric shady libraries;
at some point you turned around,
and remembered, what you long...

Beads of Blood
In The Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus fell to His knees
As He cried to His Father, let this cup pass from me

Sweat turning to blood, as He begged for...

Love In the Silence of the Soul
As a young boy
Sitting in a pew
The winter darkness pressing down
Candlelight waves from hidden drafts
Shadows danced on the walls
I heard the words destined to me
“Be still . . . know that I am God”
So I...

I know something
good about you
you were a child once, too -
without malice
gentle as the petals of a rose
sweet and pure
no need to be berated
proven guilty -
Innocent
From your eyes
and smile
Light emanated
joy spilled

The Madonna
my presence was needed
the announcement echoed thru hospital halls
which meant the medical team assembled
but that kind of expertise
was not why i was called
my lot in this equation, a signature
i was in another room in a...

Garden Tale
gardens are where we are:
from "Eden" to "Gilgamesh", "Babylon" to "Gethsemane"
from mountain to coast, town to country
from wetlands to desert oasis, under the sea to the edge of ice

Kathy and the Woman of Old

And so she worked to discover a place in her thoughts, a place of sanctuary.
And she worked and worked,...

Perennial Zen Garden
I notice Life unfolding each embryo of Time
sewing Earth's naturally revolving liturgy,
Eco-Rites of Passage
through TransMillennial Tao's fertile transition field,
Earthly universe our Garden-Commons home,
sacred cooperative space,
human nature's polynomial language place.
Time unveils creative conscience as incarnating evolution,
Dharmakaya.

Insurrection
Insurrection
by Michael R. Burch
She has become as the night—listening
for rumors of dawn—while the dew, glistening,
reminds me of her, and the wind, whistling,
lashes my cheeks with its soft chastening.
She has become as the lights—flickering
in the distance—till...

Our Own Gethsemane

Soothing my soul with the brilliant and vivid
Colors of miracles caressing my heart and spirit
Breathing out whispers of sentiments that touch me
With a sense of faith in all...

Striving for perfection comes with a price
so it's true the higher you climb the more unforgiving people become,
so I ask God let thy will be done not mines,
I too felt like I...

Beloved Jesus Is Alive
Born into this world as a humble, helpless Babe
Christ increased in wisdom and stature
Grew up in favour with both God and man
Baptised publicly by John the Baptist
Tempted by the devil, but overcame him
Preached the gospel...

Good Friday
In the garden, The Christ did pray
For strength ardent to bear pain's stay.
Gethsemane, the Master kneels
To ask to be with fond appeal.
His close aides lie in heavy sleep;
The Christ now cries in pain so deep.
The...

Gethsemane of the Mind
Gethsemane was a garden where my Master prayed alone.
Deep distress He was in. His crucifixion wouldn't be long.
As in the garden, I'm in distress. I'm lonely without my wife.
People blown, slashed, tortured...

Who Am I
I refer back to my descendants with ativistic charcteristics,
Hit the beat with a punchline and regurtitate on it's existance,
Where did Skitzo arrive from, is he a miracle from the Heavens?
Through the mist and the fog,...
