To Me: a Prayer

At all times guide this fair soul unto your ways,
When in need grant me the favour fo your face,
When I am weary strengthen me with your Word,
Root me in yourself and feed me your Living Bread.

To Me: On King David

Did he not seek fervently a heart with his own,
And in that deed unfolded truths and secrets unknown? 
Verily he was divinely appointed and of the Lord known.
In him don't all the great commanders of word take root?
David, like you I hope to write as I should.

To a Man,Blinded By Himself

To he that to himself and another be false I say,
Undo your heart and for your soul seek a new way.
Many who from this cup of self-deceit merrily drink,
I,of what comes upon themselves fear to think.

To a Poet

Poet,write now as reveals the Spirit and not as sees the eye,
Unknown and profound truths in gentle and pure heart lies,
Not to write the revelations of the Spirit but the perception of the eyes,
Keeps man's thoughts confined to the strange doctrine of worldly lies.
