Each Day With God's Law
Each day with God's law shall become longer;
Do concentrate on and it soon will be stronger,
And in any weather,
Brings things together;
Straightens out my life while being a rearranger..
Jim Horn
Contingent Upon Being Stringent
Are things that depend upon being stringent;
Also contingent when you become stringent;
Compare
And share;
Having been lenient and for your sins repent.
Jim Horn
To Nothing Was McCain Some Stranger
McCain straightened things being rearranger;
He was well known and never some stranger;
By God begotten;
Never forgotten;
Had fought for freedom and fought off danger.
Jim Horn
The night sky reveals in a split second of light.
My mind often wonders at its scintilla sight.
Like a paparazzi camera in the dark bushes
and a floating papyrus-basket amidst bulrushes.
I’m drawn to the laser show of lightning.
Oh how it entertains, sinister and frightening!
Vertical to tall trees and slow-highway-motion.
The stranger never goes unnoticed with its commotion.
The eclectic zigzag, like a serrated knife
carving the melon of the sky with strife.
Dark pregnant clouds partner with danger
— a calm cradle’s serenity rearranger.
Bring it on, with all the players on the stage,
procuring pale and ghostly figures with all their rage.
