Dawn Chorale a Psalm of Wing
From ground to high sky
birds fill break of day with song
feathered hymns rejoice—
dawn chorus of wing and will
call all to join nature's voice
Magpie's carolling
ignites dawn with fluted bells
welcoming chorale
in day-break's cathedral dome
joyous songs of devotion
Willie Wagtail struts
tail flicks like a metronome
swagger in each step—
black-and-white little soldier
stakes claim to place of its own
Grey Fantail arc skits
with

Psalm 25:1 The Valley of Desolation
In the Valley of Desolation all seemed lost.
Denying self and following Christ has great cost.
He had a plan before He created the world;
His plan complete before the universe unfurled.
His ageless will was He would become fully man
And save His chosen ones through His eternal plan.
Ever, ever will He save those trusting in him.
Never, never will

Midway Psalm
The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown,
Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee
In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town
Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me.
Neon stuttered sermons: "Try Your Luck!"
"See Freaks! Win Love!" The calliope’s thick breath,
A sticky-sweet confection, made us drunk
On promises spun sugar-brittle, sweet as death.
We traded

So shall He our Father preserve
Everything for you well being, your soul

Every time all time Gods protects you
Give him praise

You from all evil
He shall preserve

After The Psalm of Life
After The Psalm of Life,
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
One need not continue seeking,
For that elusive, immortal dream.
Our bodies aging, joints creaking,
Yet we each have, before unseen...
A body that's made of spirit,
That breaks forth when this flesh dies!
And the grave, we need not fear it;
Yes, death will come

Eternal Praise
Matthew 10:31 “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
While hearts long for the music of light,
breaking through the silence, frail – discerning
the meaning of grace far truer, grace upon grace
grace for the soul who lingers in despair,
grief poured over her spirit by the winds who dare
to remember the suffering

A Psalm No 1
Lord in Your unfailing love
Your glory I do proclaim
You are seated on the throne most high
Dedicated by Your right hand
The hopes and dreams of al Your people
You give them the right to take a stand
They travelled long in the desert
In search of the path of life
To live in Your presence forever
All the days of their

Intrusive Thoughts
trees tremble, quietly
in the laughter of sweet winds
leaves rustling, waltzing, twisting
through the fresh noon gentleness
abiding in my spirit, the stirrings
of a hesitant dream…
predictions of glowing silence in the moonlight
whimsical stars, breaking through the heat
of a star sprinkled night, where my heart remembers
silvery peppered skies, during the times when I felt
more than I heard, more

Psalm of Repentance
My Lord and my God,
Do not turn away from me;
Do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
I have grieved You time and again,
And in full knowledge,
I have chosen the path of bitterness and wrath.
But You, O Lord, are not like me—
You are slow to anger, rich in mercy,
Overflowing with steadfast love.
So I fall at Your

Lord Jesus your are mankind's tree of life.
I come with a request my for my children and wife.
Please empower me and my family to follow your way,

Psalm of Strength
Lord, as I long as I live
I will worship You
You are my rock and
my strength.
Upon You will I build
my spiritual home.
When the storms come and
the winds blow
my house will shake
but will not fall.
You are the bread and
water that satisfies.
My soul will not starve
or want for thirst.
You hold me in the
palm of Your hand.
When my
