Short Threshing Poems

Knowledge of Nature
Understands delicate things-
Thresh lightly small seeds...

On the threshing floor
Splitting Me, Dashing me from me
To My Redeemer I lay...

she’s a wildflower
that makes the honey bee buzz
they become as one
when penetration so deep
threshing machine approaches.

Floors for threshing

                                 What sneaks through the colander.

CROCODILE  SURF



Curving surf and plunging
Breakers  open up and and snarl over
And slap down closed,
Crest of breaker a jagged rim
Dripping long fangs of water
Before snapping shut,
And the surfer disappears
Threshing helplessly in the spume
Of the jaws and the foaming saliva....

Mary skipped to a different beat
    You could see it in her funny feet
  One shoe off, the other on
    One sock green, the other brown... 

  She did her homework in the john
    TV, computer, and radio on
  Excelled in school at irrelevant classes ~
    Shining shoes of cloth and threshing molasses...

Harvest's on the threshing floor
   Pumpkin's on the vine
A couple days of Injun Summer
   Crisp night's campfires glow with lines

Of goblin tales, haunted houses
   Dark mugs of witches' brew --
Happy Halloween to one and all
   Sweet Trick-or-Treating to you!

Summer season has wrapped up
on the southern prairie plain
the multi-patchwork of fields
ready for upcoming harvest
heads of golden yellow
wheat, rye and barley
glow in the amber sun
the wind creates flowing
waves with the hearty stalks
while birds and deer
find a very  easy feast
the rains are not wanted
as the threshing begins
dryness is the key
to get the best yield
of the farming season....

Overpowered by the vicissitudes of life,
The soul can be broken down and beaten
Like a sheaf of wheat at the threshing,
Where the chaff is tossed to the winds.
The good salvaged like grains of wheat,
Leavened and turned into sustenance,
Feeds a temporal home for a whole being
Who wanders through the fallow fields,
After the harvest and longs for eternity.

The sacred temple is a
exclusive design body.
Created by God Almighty.
It's a solitary place thats
contains a threshing
floor.

To the carnal eye it's 
just a earthly cistern.
Or a contamination
made by sinful hands.
The sacred temple
contains so much
more than just a 
threshing floor.

It's a place not made 
by mortal hands.It's a
spiritually place of 
tranquillity connecting
with the God that made
me....

The Northern Lights petrify
Leaving stains of color to grated souls.
Foreign thorns entice the sky -
threshing what's left of flesh.
For a season deceiving remains,
jaded petals cover sinister views
~Yet~
Wilted and jagged with pigment stagnant -
Dark; blackened to average -
Decay begins from less fortunate sins.
Charisma lost while miracles fold -
Enigma strikes like pyrite gold -
Within life loss -
An aura with no glow....

Shame me, hate me; throw me
down on the threshing floor.
Do what'ere needs to be
to hurt me to my core.

Throw me to the open sea,
Or shoo me out the door.
Make me pay a violent fee
Till my riches have no more.

Take my happiness and my glee.
Perhaps beat me till I'm sore.
Lock me up and throw the key;
And my wish for food, ignore

But i will never plea
to a cause i do abhor.
For from God's side I'll never flee
To the way I was before....

As long as God is Head
There shall be a roof over our heads
Where we shall bake our bread

As long as God is Love
There shall be enough to have
In, around, over and above

As long as God blesses
There shall be excesses
In our threshing floors and winepresses

As long as God is alive
The Heavens are an oozing hive
Dripping the sweetness of our thrive

As long as God is for us
We outnumber any legion in mass
And surpass any etiquette in class

I don't want to arouse your mind 
or your body I want your soul
Stimulate you with things of God
 to help you grow Let me pray for you,
 with you Let's share this meat
Call unto me as deep calls unto deep
And I will help you build up your spirit man
To the throne room we will go hand and hand
Touch me in ways like never before
As we prepare to walk the threshing floor 
Think it not silly for this is as intimate as intimate can get with God at the forefront we are destined to win...
