Short Reverential Poems

No longer in wonder,

       much less in reverential awe,

              do we gaze up to the stars

                     to learn the celestial law....

Mission houses reverential
treasures, field tools most essential,
priestly vestments sacramental.
Very active.
Seen as highly influential.
View's attractive....

A magnificent time
Friday at five
Lazily it arrives
A Herculean climb

But here is the weekend
Limitless potential
Though gone in a second
Still reverential...

Everyone must bow
to God without embarrassment
just as small shrubs with slender roots
bend in the wind...
 Reverential gestures of recognition, precaution
and humility... !...

I am 

As they say 

Thee

Incumbent

Reverential

 ". One "

Who simply is unable to 

As yet be able to 

" Win "

A one single argument

With or over myself

In my own individual particular 

" "  HEAD  " "

And that I am freely willing to admit

As it doesn't sit well

With either neither of us...

reverential awe
prudent faith-filled perspective 
fathoming God’s mind*

1Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Owing a debt
you can never repay
Beatitudes leveraged
salvation in play

Moments beholden
to all that’s to come
Providence calling
in voices unsung

Eternally liable
the invoice sublime
Whose terms reverential
the bursar Divine

The wings of an angel
the wings of a dove
In debt to forgiveness
—absolved from above

No longer in wonder,
 much less in reverential awe,
  do we gaze up to the stars
   to learn the celestial law;


the mundane obsessions
 and idolatries of the day
  have so marred and so blurred
   the glorious vista of the sky,


have so stifled the urge
 to go beyond what is beyond
  that, despite our wings,
   we've lost the very desire to fly!...

Riot and rebellion reoccur in my rest.
has been ramified and ranked, in My rate
Round and round, revealing remorse
Righteous reputation, reverse reverence
Rack on my ratchet and roar to the rope.
Resident reutilization is running out of the Romp.
Give up the race to rehabilitate Renal.
Reverential Razor Ridiculously Regal

The prescence of aspects in common,
a reminder of a consumate manner,
scattered as images.This cultivated
taste,real never reverential prompted
by inner signals,with obesessions 
ever reflective of mood and feeling.

Godly legacy
trusting Christ always
that’s you, Daddy dear
who instilled in me reverential fear…

Your divine hope
heavenly clear
propped up my faith
to seek the Lord… 

Joyously
I greet you
with great thanks…

Happy
Father’s
Day!

*Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
