First section of my poetry. |
What a Beautiful Day I hear you say “What a beautiful day!” I turn and sigh, I’ve heard the cliché So why do innocent ones have to pay? While their murderers slip away. Ignorance seems to be on sale these days – When we all ask “Will it be ok?” The faces we seek have no names; In the strangest of places we feel safe. This is where the heartbreak lies Between lost hellos and never-said goodbyes Maybe the questions can’t be answered by “Why?” But in the way we give God our daily lives. Divine Transcendence If I were to see you Could I fall on my face? If I met you on the street Would I sanctify my place? Eternity higher than those Who degrade your throne But we, the Christian folks Can’t find praise for you alone I wish my mind to stop And for heart palpitations To see merely and inch of Your frame Would end all my machinations Emotion is a bittersweet thing Its scent comes and goes But this undying hope for You May the fragrance ever grow Matthew 23 (Warning and Woe) Watch them as they come, they go Hands sandblasted white like snow Starting “revolutions” that keep the same Status quo, hidden behind a newer name Everything changes in that day When wide-eyed multitudes give souls away Business must go on, as the devil knows As lives are destroyed all for status quo Life unguarded, a desolate home Given up, for a stick and a stone A Cold Winter’s Day All I have left are self-taught lies Hidden under bows, “What a surprise!” Here they stand to multiply, Like snowflakes on the ground I try to be firm and resist, But they just beat me down I see now what I’ve been missing And I know it’s not just a feeling Through all the war zones I travel through – Satan knows hurting, but God knows healing |
