My grasp soars to the sky.
billions of light-years into space
Inducing the comely azure to
caress cynosure constellations
reaching out, the spinning moon
Brushes them back and beyond
I whisk them away
delicate, languid, celestial body
fully, further filling my firkin
amid a slew of diaphanous stars.
Tonight, I will relive an exquisite display
here in my dimly lit room,
and disperse them all over the place.
I tie them to the tree twigs
featuring self-adhesive clasps
refinishing the wooden floors
with cascading tiny orbs
tonight, I lie in the city of stars.

I heard a cleanly, fouled dredging
When I thought of the clean heart
When I thought of the clean heart
The fresh friend finishing
The groomed gut gargling
As of someone gently refinishing, refinishing
Deep into that darkness open
My mind always strays to furnishings
The groomed green-ware giving
The textiles came outliving
Covering me partially
Oh! God my house and heart filthy, dirty Lord God give me a clean heart

Allow me, this day,
to become the catalyst
of my own awakenings…
For I hold within myself
the light of dawns reckonings
Bare floor’s creaking
with the splinters of the past
Some things never change
Some things never last
Allow me, this day,
to find enlightenment
within worded phrase…
For I hold within myself
knowledge in living sage
Bare floor stripping
layers of varnished truth
Refinishing with prayer
His Mercies are acute
Allow me, this day,
to become the catalyst
of rejoicing praise…
For His Words, hid not,
are my renewing gage
