Long Idle words Poems

There is a day of rest for you and me
A Sabbath day of sweetest harmony
Where God and man converse and blessings dwell
and sacred hours are spent to be made well

It is the seventh day, a...

I’ve discovered that
My brain is a place that knows no bounds
Of expression.
A magazine of thoughts, live rounds
That lock
Into the chamber, my mouth
As my tongue cocks back,
Hammers forward and spits them out.
I’ve discovered the irony
Of saving...

O burgeoning soul of sweet things 
   mellowed to summer's surge,
   with autumn's dim appraisal
   loitered to a final song of ditties,
       the...

He was careless in the race
Yet entered in by wondrous grace.
His works of earthly gain, no more remain.
The world’s pursuits there now disdained.
Forlorn of blessings lost to greed,
Mistaken goals and careless deeds.
While words of praise...

Bethlehem, a star attraction, out of thee,
Among the chilliads, the small, the great.
A shining example - how grateful are we?
How deep and wide, one stellar star of fate.

In storehouses: blessings, rain, mannah and snow.
Likewise, one...

My first conscious thoughts are of you
So appealing you are, your essence moves through me
Soothing me, grooving me, vertically -- on an emotional high
Disguised are my true...

Built a nest on my head
Then on one date, it found a mate
Before I got out of bed

With outside dim, I tried beating him
When next day I arose sooner
But all...

How many times
Did you make me laugh?
I lost count over the years
Your soppy sweet smile
The clumsiness you exude
The funny guy
That's what you are

How many times
Did you make me smile?
Cheered me up on sad days
Endless cuddles
There...

When one decides which thoughts he shall portray,
Remembering wherein his dreams abide,
Imagination through each phrase untied.
Those dancing thoughts upon a page find way.
Idle words lay sleeping one more day.
Not sound nor phrase decides its wordy...

IN THE NAME OF GOD

So much is said and done
In the name of God
For good, for evil
To give credit or blame

Who are we to use 
The name of the Holy One
God Most High
To explain our...

Idle words dance; leaves in the wind.
I walk the streets, somewhat chagrined,
as they whirl about unconfined.
Their magic takes root in my mind.

Within myself, I come to see
the treasures amongst the debris.
Reality is left behind.
Their magic...

The idle words begin to take over my train of thought. 
My heart and my soul believe they can never be bought. 
The suttle feelings of emptiness and being alone 
What lies ahead of me,...

This singularity, pandemic at Easter, global difference
How singular that every nation is "shutting down,"
Each country reduces travel and trade. Unthinkable before Corona!

CHRIST Jesus, how could I ever honor YOU even now!
Rose up early, 2am, said...
