House built on a rock

will stand midst the elements,

on sand, it will fall.

         Peculiar
         human
         beings
          builders of
          "sanctified"
             slaughter...

The world is not that bad of a place because you're in it!

A tribute for all community builders.

Early Springtime actioning frantic flight path
Busy sparrows congregate nesting builders
Hedgerow rustling, twittering noises concur
Heralding new life...

Circles of light
In Lebanon
This conversation
From God
Descending through
The cedar forest
Blessing the strong wood
For the Phoenician 
Ships builders...

The Tower of Pisa started leaning
Builders knew by floor three the meaning
Soft earth they say
Still stands to this day
 More than 16 feet off center careening...

Sky dragons,
Mighty attractions,
Builders build,
Workers bleed
Diving floors,
Infinity pools
Imitating paradise?
Posh suites,
Modesty retreats 
Trying to touch the clouds,
Are you immortal kings ?...

Spiritual draftsmen,
builders of walls
Demanding blind homage,
 tithes of false hope

Fortressing darkness,
ministering fear
Evangelist’s rumbling
—prophets who quake

Based on observation on roadworks on Douglas Promenade ... I simply had to walk past twice lol:-)

The Nile was serene
    its riverbank green
  Cleopatra the Queen
    supervised poverty obscene

  Ancient Egypt's glory?
    'twas short, brutish and mean
  for builders of pyramids
    worn out at eighteen...

Many housing builders fight over me.
My reddish wood is beautiful to see.
I have more than one common name.
Growing one hundred feet is my fame.
One of my names starts with Norway.
Can you name my other name today?...

Idyllic isle enriched by sun and sea
The air so fresh; the ground all shades of green
Until the builders rape the virgin land
Spread a disease for which there’s no vaccine.

Our world is torn;
We must be menders,
Carers helpers and defenders,
Brothers, builders and befrienders--
Though the ripper's evil slashes
Flay the world to grievous gashes--
We must mend  and employ
Needles of kindness and threads of joy....

Over one hundred foot tall? Of course I could.
Many people pine for my smooth reddish wood.
An apartment house? Not quite my friend.
When used in construction there is no end…
Builders love me. I am sublime.
I am of course the Canadian Red Pine....

September stifles summer’s breath
Eases itself in at sunrise
Panders
To forthcoming pumpkins
Engages Autumn’s wild chorus
Meanders among the scarecrows 
Blows kisses to the migratory
Energizes the nest builders
Repaints again Fall’s sated blush...

God-braced life builders

       Valuable beyond gold’s price

               Children’s* great mentors.

*Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

what I wouldn't give to erase
from the earth’s weary face
all that is wicked and base:

warmongers and evildoers,
pre-emptive troublemakers,
rapacious, societal leaders,
crooked empire-builders;

then maybe peace may stir 
and finally reign…forever....

Wise men
   Great minds one and all
Builders of wonders 
    Both large and small
Men and women
    Adored by one or by all
All of these 
    Shall in time surely fall
But the weak, destitute
     Even the poor too
Shall one day
     Be more glorious than you...

if your builders are digging and they find a skull
do they keep digging?

do you call the coppers?
won’t that set your closing date back months?

My builder shut down the big machines this afternoon.
He waved me over.

I was afraid to find out why.
I hoped it was not a skull....

Spring Awakes

Robin

Maternal builders
Patiently gather debris
Fragile wombs of blue


Cherry Tree 

Blushing pink petals
Tossed in my path with shy love
Nature's flower girl



Budding Beauty

Nourished by warm sun 
Buds awaiting deep within
Icy tree limbs melt

silence
fruitfully sought
never disappoints

silence
some cannot abide it
I deplore those people

silence disturbed
by music casually flipped on
by non-thinkers

silence 
never fully understood
by non dendrite-builders

silence
necessary for my health
my go-to place

silence
all I ask 
is more…....

BUILDERS ARE WE

Build life around the word that comes from God.
If we choose to build on other terms—
Use self and others and things, to build—
We’re bound to glean an empty structure,
With small meaning, and no way left
For us to find the Master Builder.
