David and Goliath

I stood before the behemoth,
(aware of my dimension)
and cast my eye upon his intention
and feared not, for the Lord is my protection.
                         ***

Standing fifty cubits high-
the gallows meant for Mordecai,
but Haman's scheming went awry;
and on the gibbet carved from pride
not Mordecai, but Haman died.

The most important name of God in the Old Testament (Ex 3:14)
It can be translated “I AM WHO I AM”
For Jews as well as Christians
It designates the one God of the whole world
Their creator. Preserver
Covenant partner, liberator from slavery in Egypt
Judge and Savior.

ordinary clouds on a thursday
 afternoon overhead.  

All is shaded and gray.  


 old testament in my skin.
 
 i was there you know.

  when calcium became bone 
and marrow became life.

 now the currents in the sea 
have never swayed me.

 yet still my kidneys unravel such
strange sands.

 and the shores have all become
 my diciples....

Gods Treatment.

His personality reflected in the Old Testament.

His heart in the New Testament grace.

His Grace is in all his given Love.

His Love shared now and in all eternity glory 

His Glory to be praised in all desire.

His desire for all to have understanding. 

His understanding presence is in his present. 

His present his son, Jesus Christ....

the Metamorphoses blamed it
for the death of lovers
who met under its branches for suicide
the Old Testament believes
blood from its fruit 
triggered war elephants 
to do battle against Jews

wings peppered with color
fold together when at rest
ancient artists who became inspired  
made them immortal in stone
insecta we share with flowers
now praying to be left alone

G’mar chatima tova.
Forgive me if I stumble 
across the unfamiliar words.

We are not so different.
Each strives to do more good 
than bad; at least to do no harm.

We pause for prayer and reflection,
aspire to be more caring, more giving;
make amends and atone for misdeeds.

So I pray for you my friend.
As the shofar sounds the end, may your
name be sealed in the Book of Life....

Long
Long
Ago
A lady
Chose to follow her
Mother-in-law accepting her
Homeland, people, and God; leaving her people, land for
All foreign life, her name was Ruth who became an ancestor of Jesus Christ our Lord







(Since it is the Christmas season and time to celebrate I thought that this would be a good 
topic.  Loosely translated portion of Ruth from the "Bible" Old Testament.)...

The Bible contains 72 books
(Or 73 depending whether Lamentations listed as a separate book
Not as a part of Jeremiah)
Varying length from a few hundred words to many thousands

Together, these books comprise the official list or canon of the Bible
These books
45 were written before Christ
Called the Old Testament

The other 27 books 
Were written after the time of Christ
Called the books of the
New Testament...

Farm necks
thick as bales of hay
burnt like the earth
weather veined hands-gathering eggs
Farm necks
tough as desert wood
dusk until dawn
three generations under one leaky roof.
Withering acres of parched hope
Old Testament humble
barn cat stubborn. 
Starry thunder is rumbling over the blood horizon
searching the mud room for your war boots.

Uncle Sam is coming 
armed with pink slips and fists of black powder....

Mr. Emmanuel Cleaver has an old Testament name
It means 'God is with us;' of that he's not ashamed

   But 'Amen' is sexist, or so he's decided
   On that, Mr. Cleaver is sorely misguided




_________________________________________   
'Emmanuel' is a name derived from the Hebrew
words 'El,' God, and 'Imanu,' with us.

'Amen' is a Hebrew word meaning 'belief.'  It has 
nothing to do with men or women whatsoever....

Perceive me through your senses,
Like God in the Old Testament.

Feel the warmth.
Enveloping, comforting your cold heart.
See the sand.
Shimmering, hypnotising you into a trance.
Hear the bubbles.
Stroking, nursing those half-open wounds.
Smell the tranquility.
Meditation, teleportation, unending calm.
Taste the saltiness.
Following, escorting you back home.

Or was the sea shore your home?
Or just a therapy you sought?...

Into exile
To depth of feeling
To the green paradise
To silence of seasons
To the Old Testament
Wherever you go
Swings of childhood
Will whisper to your soul
Which bets as the rain
Swings of childhood
Will whisper to gulls's hearts
Which bet as dreams
Into exile
To depth of flowers
To outer space
to the bottom of black hole
Everywhere in the universe
My imagination will call you
And we will meet
When swings and gulls meet.....

Unlike the smell of rain on country road sediment
I can not find the tears to make my trauma relevant
There is no sweet scent found in my complex petutlance
I wish my mind quiet; when its thoughts are all Old Testament
This level of self-loathing; to date, has no precedence
Though all my acts of selflessness have never afforded me benevolence
Could I bury my head in your chest bones? 
Maybe then I'll find out if I am worthy of your true elegance?...
