Religious chirps lilt the air:
A choir of birds....

Worship from a pew of gold:

Tabernacle made of trees;
Praising feathered choir....

A pub that's typically Welsh
Has music the English can't squelch
Hymns and arias rule
But, like any gene pool,
The loudest is always a belch!...

When left all alone
   In charge and
In one place,
Their are only
Three places' that
One can find one's
     Self....
That is in the Church
     In the Chapel
And in the
   Tabernacle of God

Setting sun flickers through the passing pines
As I drive into the east
And Mormon Tabernacle Choir angels sing
From out of invisible waves
Into my ears sounds so sweet
Unto my soul on a Sabbath eve...

Mary is our tainted nature's solitary boast* --
Preserved from original sin by the Holy Ghost
A prepared Tabernacle for the Sacred Host!

Time In A Tabernacle 

There was the time we were in a tabernacle,
And then instead of singing always cackles;
In tune were not,
So had to fill slot;
Sang so loud put me in chains and shackles.

  Reuven gave a half-shekel, Shimon did too
    600,000 half-shekels, one from every Jew  
  Pure silver for a Tabernacle with a magnificent view  

  My half plus your half made one round shekel, you see
    And that is the secret of Jewish Unity

God is ever working,
We must surrender all
Hold back nothing,
In His Word we trust.
He gave us His best,
Return it with our all,
He deserves all our praise,
Let us dwell in His grace.
Rejoice in His goodness,
As He guides our way,
The Lord of hosts with us stays,
In His tabernacle He stays....

Soulless they say,
stupid, obnoxious.
What do I feel,
when I look at his crown of thorns?

What do I think,
about innocent baby born?
About his seven external signs,
which give us graces of their own.

As animal, the dog
at his tabernacle,
the sacred sense I feel,
for me, he is the mankind's king....

The sanctimonious tabernacle; where the desolated tongues confess.
The covetous, unwed beds are hungry, exuberant anatomies get undressed.
The biased courthouse; where many admissible lies rattle but hardly unfold.
The lewd jail cells are full, innocent bodies, minds, and souls loathly probed.

Mother Disappearing

repaginating reality,
in private fashion,

in a doorless tabernacle,
dementia holds mother

hostage
no ransom to be had.

suspended like
Gods nearly touching Adam 

though powerless to deliver
lucid breath to their mother,

the children, bereft of her
reassurance, are lost as she is.

Prayer works miracle
 
The Christian divination and oracle
 
The Lord is in His tabernacle
 
Breaks every bondage and shackle
 
Freedom in every circle
 
 
 
Prayer, the master key
 
With faith, hitch-free
 
Branches of blessings on its tree
 
Speedy answers from  GOD in three
 
All will come and see
 
 
 
Sometimes, GOD can delay,
 
Just wait and pray…....

My Lord, you are the Poet,
Who notes me with thy strong hands.
I can only aspire to know it 
And extend thy word to all known lands.

You have set in me for the sun
A tabernacle for his regal throne,
From which he arises for his daily run
Throughout heaven's every zone.

Each morn I await his excellent ascent.
Onward with his golden lamp of God,
He begins at one end of the firmament
And runs on with the light of Aaron's rod....

I turn the porch light on
because it’s dark when I go out
to find the morning paper.

It’s still dark when I start back 
but when I’m on the porch I reach 
inside a little bin for bird seed 

and spread it along the bannister. 
That’s when the choir starts to sing.
It’s too dark to see the birds in trees

watching me spread their seed 
but they thank me with a lovely hymn
from the morning tabernacle choir.

AN ODE TO HER
 Honour whom shall we raise high
With her i always stand and sigh
Your love is what i see at home
To whom shall you be made known?

Cleopatra-can she ever stands your tide?
The mediator o! She stood the time
She is a way easy and safe to Christ grace
And intercessor of the worn out age

She is of heaven alma-mater
Tabernacle of our lord and master
O! Virgin our gracious mother
Full of grace humble and greater

When my heart is overwhelmed, I cry to Thee, 
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than me, 
Thou hast been a shelter from my enemy, 
In Thy tabernacle, forever I'll be. 
When my spirit within me was overwhelmed, 
Then Thou knew my path; my life ship Thou hast helmed, 
Thou art my refuge, bring my soul out of jail, 
Thou shalt deal bountifully, Thy name I'll hail. 


(Inspired by Psalms 61 & 142)

Man it's been decades
Wishing to myself,
And sing hymns...
Rejoicing to the self,

Just came back from the pits
Opposite the tabernacle of the temple
A G be another ghost so I'm creeping,
Seeking self midst my lower self 
Behind bars of pleasure and freed by pain,
Contemplating my next move
As life swifts in time,
Rain hits trees and rocks maintain the ocean,
Deep dives: I'm taking a swim! 
From splashes to smashes,
The fall I'm scared of......
