Short God Speed Poems

You  know when God cried an ocean
It sunk the whole land of Goshen
But those kids on the Ark 
Skinny-dipped in the dark
Noah, of course, had no notion!...

Feet Pounding
Metal Door-Knobs
 Slip away 
Piling at the corridor's end. 
Over and over doors sweep open 
And faces blossom like tulips opening
Everything closes.
The gas chamber is
Mobile again
And makes Good speed –
God speed.
The yawning awning
Collapses sideways
On the massing crowds

Style poise
Hurl choice


Dare dream 
Fond streams


Joy jumps
Sense sums


Warm way
Prize play


In time
Grand chimes


Live light
Bloom bright


Fine touch
Says much


I know
Change grows


Good seed
God speed

I shall water the foliage
Upon the grounds
In which he has grown
With my tears.
For he now is
in route to a war
by his own choice
May the army
prove to be all
it is meant to be
and bring my son
home to me
not in a body bag.
God speed my son
May your brothers
find you in the
desert across the
seas. I will be 
praying every night
for all of you upon 
my callous knees...

Stargazer's Prayer
by oldaubry

 

Capricorn, Virgo, Sagittarius too
Grace me with your image
as you come into view
I feel my true self
as I look to the sky
I can feel that one spark
as the evening is nigh
your stars are a guide
like a mariner's chart
as I use the sextant
that is bourne of my heart
I pray for safe passage
I don't want to roam
May God speed my journey
and help me get home...

Memo times
My Momma always told me
when a Star falls from the sky 
tis means a believer past away 
Gone to be by our Lord's Side

But when a New Star apears 
in the atmosphere 
New babe in Christ
someone recieved Eternal Life-

But when you see
Shooting Star across the sky 
tis God's Angel Flying by.. using God Speed
to help whomsoever in Need

Oh.. how I miss her 
loving heart.. ways
God Bless her Soul...

To teach

To each


You dwell

We learn
To earn
Discern


Love calls
Us all
Don't stall


Sculpt hope
Writes scope
Words cope


Due time
Poise rhymes
Grand mimes
