of demure "Flora" who slowly but surely attempts
to reveal her true colors in fits and starts,
nevertheless, she displays skittishness,
when...

Sure of his goodness and love for God

Lord one of my problems is letting things go.
When I've been wronged by people I know.

Making up these lies about faith which is absurd
Making your profits off people by false prophets

ALMS AND TITHES
 
Alms, spontaneous like a gentle breeze,
Tithes, a steady stream, a spiritual ease.
Both hold real value and kindle light,

to the harvest
Time spent in darkness bought
us things we needed
during the purge

Where the Holy Spirit’s presence could...

In the park where we gathered.
I watched the sprinkler spray.
Whilst Oleander got lathered.

A pierce of minty laughter.

The day, now full swelter.
Brought mephitic curses, from father.

My mother,
A piece, of...

A fairy of the forest has fastened to her heart
A bog-reed arrow, white wash dipped in flint
She dances yes she dances, in...

Seven religions Rule the world...
Praying since a little boy or girl 
Praying up to 5 times a day,

      With each caged breath,

While many others
Know it's really lifes greatest gift

Every Sunday at 9
Tithing in hope, in hope I can find
A little bit of...

of elsewhere, did I go, inspire ~ suggest

In order for the lord to be praised 
Thanking God he raised, me to do his work
So happy for the church 
That he set me to do...

Bread has an everyday demanding presence, not daily dough
But daily fare across the miles, across ancient ways and wonders
Built by bread in bellies of slaves and laborers: pyramids and others

I want someone to snuggle under a blanket with,
to watch TV,
or for fingers to run softly through my hair
while I read, my head in their lap.
I want someone to kiss me goodnight.
And good morning.
