"Whose discernment is correct?!" "They read but don't watch for Me, So simple truth turns knotty: Captives in a doctrinal fence, Their interpretations lack sense, Their expertise a mere pretense. The truth originates with Me, My illumination lets you see: Your eyes see what I've planned, Your ears obey My command, Your mind will then understand. My people will be purified, My enemies will be petrified: My plans...

Her skin, a velvet sin, a scripture I recite with the tip of my tongue, melts like dark chocolate, bitter and sweet on my hungry lips, pouring confessions in breathless whispers, a dance of endless desire. I pull her closer, white-knuckled on silk sheets, intoxicated by the ecstasy between her thighs, a paradise lost and found, a pleasure so intense...

In the Biblical landscape of rebirth earth whispered footsteps steaming forward with friendship From a stranger with an unknown smile Throughout the unfolding fields and whispy wildflowers the sky cloaked him in azure atmosphere When he spoke to her the first time her innermost radio turned on to his station Heavenly fuel glued their garden...

'Least likely' times three, Putting me through difficulty To persuade me to go away, Axing with, "Have a nice day..." So much for a 'Protection Plan'! That maze through which no one can, Defeat the 'Crooked Counterplan'! The 'gods of profit' win again! (sigh) 'Most likely' times three, These "gods of profit' turn beastly, And poison justice everywhere, Until their profit becomes a snare! Israel's leaders blind and...

The tide is strong, and the waves are crashing in abruptly. The wind is blowing fiercely, and the rain is coming down. A sailor's boat with a wooden paddle, and no life jacket on it rocks back, and forth at the dock. All alone,and in despair standing for the righteous people. Not a kind, and trustworthy person...

For years I kept that scripture out In plain view, in a spot On a rounded backsplash in sight So, I'd not God's name blot When I answered the business phone At our house, free labor Until we could afford to hire Someone like a neighbor At last, I got a pay increase Double in my wages And now I get...

Your ‘calling’ strings you out into a gospel of all that you were and are. A written scripture scrolls on. You are a witness. The poet that watches, the one who shows up late in your own story, diverse scribes feed you shape-shifting words from the collective works of other visionaries. Every image has its alter-image. This gospel of ‘you’ can gossip over a trivial landscape, yet...

Are you waiting for a word that burns your heart like so much flame? Are you waiting for a voice of thunder calling out your name? Are you waiting for the world to shake as God reveals His plan? Are you angry at the silence that you just don’t understand? The Lord will speak in the silence of your...

A wedding in Cana and Jesus was there. A miscalculation, a bit of a scare. They ran out of wine before it was through. What were they to do? What were they to do? “Do whatever He tells you.” The mother of Jesus said, “They have no wine.” It didn’t concern Him. It wasn’t His time. But she didn’t argue. She already...

Oh Lord, it seems to me, You are a God of pain without which some people say there is no gain. There is only so much that we creatures can bear and it’s sometimes I wonder if You really do care. Throughout the world You’re generally loved, hated or feared and there are certain times when You are very strongly...

Ruth 2:11-12 NIV? [11] Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. [12] May the Lord repay you for what you have done....

Try on for trying. Cry on for crying. Die on for dying. Fear not to fear. Hunger’s deep burning. Awake but still yearning. Stones left o’re turning. Hold to what’s dear. Like the dew falling. Faint whisper calling. From the ground crawling. Be still to hear. Songs sung of ages, break forth from cages. Pages on pages. All becomes clear. Stand tall for standing. All things demanding. Grasp understanding. Dawn’s light is near. Branches once...
