Short Ecumenical Poems

***
 
What lies in this?
Are my ears betraying me? My eyes?
Is time betraying me that I have lived?
 
Crazy creation,
So noble while not young in vain,
At times, shouts the right words
In an ecumenical uproar.
 
For whom? For the self?
I would like to make the cut where you are,
Look into the insane eyes,
Not move a bit where others are raving,
And holding my awe, self-annihilate....

Oh Bible Junkie
Proceed with caution
The needle sinking deep
Remind yourself
Or hire someone
To point out
Combustible
Degenerative verses
With euphoric illusions
Those that lead
The flock, yourself
To turning
Heavenly tricks
For ecumenical devotions
Remain cognizant
Remain real to thyself
Thy kingdom will come
But only by answering
The call
To those, to which
You're grounded.

make someone happy
and you will be happy, too
    sweet and to the point

Song: Make Someone Happy(1964)
Singer: Jimmy Durante
A very short romantic song, less than 2 minutes long, but it really spreads a touching, ecumenical message. I wish I played it at my wedding, actually.

An ecumenical crown
                                 Illuminating the night sky,
                                 A celestial carousel
                                 Cosmic stars, travel with Greek heros.
