WASHED AWAY BY THE TIDE

WASHED AWAY BY THE TIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see the vestiges of yesterday,
echoes of mistakes,
like footprints in the sand,
that the time of time washed away.

Every mistake,  
is like a grain of sand on the beach,
a sandcastle of errors,
mistakes that the tide of time washes away.

the wind of self-forgiveness
pulls me up, propelling me 
beyond the limits
of mistakes I

spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons,

 spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons,
the sun rises instead to the shade of the apple trees
Hello nuke in the sky, its an experience to say Hi,
cracking my last case of beer until ashes I'll die.......
wisdom dictates I'll be lost to the flesh as a fact,
among all the memorial moments as I pass away.
Inner

Washed Away

The old pictures,
borders coiled like dried autumn blades,
give only glances.
A youthful laugh, unheard now,
a sun long set on that certain day.

I try to piece it together,
the scent of the salt air then,
the weight of a hand in mine.
But the details drop,
like sand through open fingers.

There are times, sharp and sudden,
a song on the radio, a

Vacuuming Saga

1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”


In the vacuuming, the roar of a voice – softly churning,
remembering my purpose… my soul is burning –
soundless stories, a still,

Washed Ashore

I die over and over—
between pages—a ghost 
in a world more real than my
own—drowning in ink—
willingly washed ashore—
swelling, bloating breath.

Against my nature of concealment,
I cough out the ink—everywhere—
chaos, carnality, collapse!
onto a canvas I cannot
cower from. 

Who else perceives meaning there? 
Who else feels the frenzy like fire? 

White Washed Memories

White washed memories
A simple life and simple dreams
Just you and I 
By the fireside

Love and Purity
Out beyond the snow lit hills
Love and Purity
White washed memories 

Just you and I

Acid Washed

acid washed blue jeans
hang on the rusty clothesline 
in the morning sun  

Washed Presumptively

Went down to the river
each time I sang
and washed presumptively
the flesh of kin
down, down, down
with knees bent
unfolded and rent
circled the floors
each time I sang
and raised the roof
and arms in praise
‘tis not enough to say
‘tis a start not lame
to accept His holy name
into your heart
down, down, down
in the burial tub
not shamed nor shoved
but proofed
Went down to

Brain Washed

If only I could wash my brain 

My mind would be so clean 

Then certainly I would be so sane 

And no way to be mean 

I’d scrub away all the pain I had 

Scrub away all the bad hair days 

I'd scrub away, scrub away, scrub away 

All the awful news that’s bad and

Washed Rubbed Srubbed Hung Up And Left To Dry

Scrubbed rubbed the wrong way
And left hung up to dry
Blown away in the wind
Treated like a leper 
I wasn't perfect but I tried

Treated like a sinner
Condemned sentenced
Feeling small
with no judge or jury
When I hadn't sinned at all.

Have You Been Washed in the Blood of the Lamb collections

Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb, Christ Jesus?
Do you know there's only one certain way for you to go and
That's only through Christ Jesus!  For He is the one and the
Only lamb of God who is able to wash away our sins far far

Far away and change our deary nigh-times

her children loved being washed

mother mouse had her hands and tubs full on wash day
her children were jumping and diving and playing every which way
Pinning on the line took even more effort, but worth the trouble.
Interlopers kept coming back for more; she thought she was seeing double.

Praise You Lord We Are Washed In Your Blood Collections

"I like to sing a song for you to show you that I care.
To show you that I'm grateful for the times we have
to share.  I've been told that in this life the friends
we have are few and I just want to thank you that
the friend I have is you.

Praise you Lord we are

Washed Out To Sea

Washed out to Sea
By Dilly Dally and Christopher Grieves
First line DD, second line CG and so on

Save my soul, I'm washed out to sea
I need the lights of a harbour to beckon me
Gasping for breath, in a bedraggled state
As the wild wind decides my ultimate fate
Swallowed up by the dark but emerge by the shore
A

Washed Up

The tide and heavy seas
had washed up a wealth 
of treasures to lay at my feet
spread out in a long line
just like the way wares
are displayed on the street
of an outdoor market.

Shells, some polished 
to a sheen others just broken 
shards of a puzzle never
to be put back together again.
Tresses of weed, float bladders,
a cuttlefish
