LIKE A THREAD
Through the eye of the needle I come like a thread Died in the wool Flame-orange and red My mockingbird’s song Dazzles dozens at dawn Though cornfields I come: Scarecrow set upon Peace, peace cries my crow As it caws in my field Ripe is my sunflower Yet yellow, she’ll yield And her seeds, weighty...

PERVERSEARANCE
I hear the higher calling Though darker angels still are falling, Around me tumbling through the air, Thick as thieves who shuffle down the stair, With ebon notes of dread pursuit, Where pale hearts blow the white hot flute, An artist’s portrait sits and stares Within the garden treed with pears,...

HABIT
She wore her black robes Into church each day; The habit over her ear lobes, A covering helped her pray. But still there was a nagging doubt That prompted her to wonder Tearing her soul within without And casting it asunder. For at the altar, in the pew She felt His presence near, Just as chosen as...

THIS CHRISTIAN'S DECLARATION
To gather together for figures to fight one must issue pretensions like traffic tickets on the Autobahn… It is an easy task if you comprehend that the very utterance of an imprecation is idle and impotent. It is in the act of war that the vile vermin of the world wage wanton destruction on the...

BUFFETS & TRIUMPH
Upon Life's Troubled Sea (a rejoinder to Poet-3’s poem) Ere my waking dream diminishes amid the turmoil of trouble & strife, and dire drama unwinds itself to dangle my essence over the precipice of my life: Oh may your Spirit sustain my soul through trials I would not welcome by day as through my...

The Reason for the Passion
Tied to a Tree Hung there for you And for me: Christ on the Cross What great gain From so great a loss: He gives his life For all those dead In their sins: To Christ be led He is the head Of the Christian church! He’s the only begotten son of God. Like an eagle from his perch In heaven’s realms, His...

A HYMN TO GOD TODAY
Another Sunday come to roost The Lord’s day here again Time to give our great God a boost And praise him among men! The days get longer now Our hand’s upon the plow We’re gathering eggs laid by the hen. It’s time to milk the cow! Remember the days spent on the farm The nights spent in the hall,...

IN WHOM WE PUT OUR TRUST
We know you in whom we put our trust. The power is yours, and your cause it is just. Like the mighty tornado just touching down, your justice endures, we beware your bright frown. Grown to adulthood in cities of night whose light is diminished by feelings of fright, we stretch forth our arms to the...

The Eternal Quest for All Time
L ong, narrow halls become tunnels while the Hourglass turns tables; but when walls become funnels, the sands of Time will surely shred labels. Our vessels, packed with peat to the gunnels, smile as they list, journeying onward, like a virgin yearning to be more than kissed, we seek knowledge of our...

OF FEELINGS AND FATE
I smile because I’m happy And I frown when I feel down. It’s also true that when I’m blue, It’s hard to try and play the clown. The actor in me wants to strut No matter how I feel. I’m sure I bleed when I am cut, But I don’t know if I’ll heal. The day will come, I’m sure of it, When the dead in...
