PEACE*
God grants
delights heart...
...vanquishes guilt-angst
conquers tormenting fear
soothes pain, healing wounded soul...
...blest bliss wraps my spirit with grace.
*Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

One Word
“Mary!”
One word
Tears transformed
Sorrow to joy
One moment
One word.
A name
Life
New life
Beyond-the-tomb life
Forever.
Reality
Resurrection
When Jesus calls
By name
One word.
Mary!
Read John’s gospel, chapter 20.
God's gift*
life's lift...
strength's zest
life blest...
love's might
life's light...
grace-birth
life's worth...
hope flows
life glows.

This morning, love, the sky’s opaque
You are the spirit, you can see
Though spirit term seems rather vague
It emphasizes mystery
Relies on my imagination
A bit too much, as if implied
My faith in the divine ascension
But the first thing that comes to mind
Why it’s impossible to meet
Our Lord again, how could he be
Not recognized on crowded street
If he’d come down his folk to see
I guess that Jesus was repeated
In some of those who tried to care
And so the devil was defeated
In a fixed match for devil’s share
I don’t want to display a doubt
It always finds a way to show
Without flesh life makes no sound
In any kind of form we know
It’s all our fantasy and joy
Of the imagined world that is
Supposed to be a great deploy
To serve reality we miss.
Spoken biblical words
Prophecy exchange
Motion through time
Redemption shall reign
Transformation from flesh to everlasting
Heavens come down to Earth
Rebirth of hearts
Tongues shall testify
Truth told
Spiritual within
Storms will shout
Skies will open the chatter
World attention
Earthly eyes to look up
Wait upon will arrive
Wonder assured from yonder
Hearts united
Buckle up and be ready
Hold steady
Wisely thought.
Darkness surrounds us all everywhere
spiritually, morally, socially and emotionally
affecting everything that we can see
wherever we are its scattering nationally
This is an illness that needs fixed
what can be done about this evil force
facing it head-on with a strong stand
it needs to be stripped at its source
Pray for God's intervention of light
His force of power simply divine
heavenly sent from God's throne
penetrating through to brightly shine
God is the sender of this gift
to combat and defeat this sin
penetration would show in eternity
so God's way would always win
No sun can compare with this light
its longevity will be with us forever
Jesus comes in the power of His truth
shedding His eternal light like a constant river
Cyrene was a city of 5000
situated on Africa's Northern tip
from there came a man called Simon
who was to be under God's sure grip
This Simon is named in three of the gospels
as the one who carried Jesus heavy load
compelled and seized to walk behind Jesus
carrying His cross along His Calvary road
Did Simon know what was to follow?
that this Jesus was going to die
His mind must have been in turmoil
but comforted even if asking why?
As Simon carried the cross of Jesus
so we, His disciples, must carry it too
following our Lord wherever He goes
standing true, looking to the Lord's view
Simon was indeed chosen of God
providentially to carry Christ's cross
play a real part in the Calvary story
without it, this would be our loss!
we know Jesus resurrected from his tomb
thus basis of belief in eternal life
but why then Easter egg and not Easter womb
is the question that cuts through mind like a knife
the answer being simply our head ovoid
shaped like the cosmic egg pure and unalloyed
out of which we’re hatched reborn when ego dies
paving way for spirit to reveal sunrise
"It's finished!" Love's triumphant* shout
redemption fulfilled without doubt...
God reached mankind by grace indeed
saving me, in faith, to be freed...
Grateful, I serve through worship-route.
*Psalms 47:1 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nails kiss his flesh~
yet palms cradle moonlight,
soft as mercy.
The thorn-crowned head still whispers,
Forgive them, they are blind.
Grateful, as freely endowed
jubilantly sharing and giving
like never experiencing dearth
since God supplies…
Thankful for sweet serenity
delightfully exuberant
creating mirth-ripples that linger
since the Lord blesses…
Gratitude shines against gloom
withstanding hypocrisy’s stain
while walking in the light
since the Saviour helps…
Thanksgiving* prevails as miracles pervade
vibrantly radiating glowing hope
midst triumphant faith
since the Creator prospers.
*1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I scrape against the world
like a rusted hinge~
my voice sometimes squeaks and splinters,
my hands too quick to clench.
Jesus walked on water,
but I sink in the shallows,
ankles weighted with the stones
of the guilt and shame I carry.
He fed five thousand
with a boy’s lunch;
I hoard my sandwich crust,
counting the last bites.
The lepers reached for him
and he reached back~
unflinching.
I disinfect my doorknobs.
God, sand me down.
make me porous~
a sieve that holds nothing
but light.
I follow my heart, my intuition
I believe in
Jesus's selflessness for people
the great father of the native American tribes
I believe we are all one with the mountains, trees, sky, earth, wind
I follow my spirit guides who whisper into my ears
I am clairaudient, clairvoyant and clairsentient
My power animals are deer, wolf, turtle, snake
deer reminds me to be even tempered
wolf helps me stand up for myself
turtle shows me a clear path
snake instigates new beginnings
I follow many prophets and teachers, some of this earth
others, in my dream state
my main mantra is that God is Love
I believe we are all here to love each other
that love is the ultimate guide.
Unfathomable to the human mind
babe was born from virgin* womb midst faith's glow...
...miracle since facts can't overshadow
reality's truth, divinely designed.
Still haunting skeptics, yet exuding hope
virgin birth does highlight sovereign might...
...spiritual delight of heavenly flight
as soul trusts God to soar beyond grave's scope.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, Jesus, I wanted to be like you~
to bleed
without flinching,
to kneel in the dust
and mean it.
Instead, I clutch
my own crown,
not of thorns
but of ego and want~
sharp, crooked,
never quite fitting.
They told me salvation
was nails,
but my hands
are soft,
my wrists
unbroken.
I whisper forgive me
to an empty room,
and the silence
answers: Try harder.
