Wood and Blood Commingled

lightening flashing, cracking through the sky ominous clouds cloaked, preparing to gather deception snaking—slowly it slinks, slithers through insipid onslaughts of religious scorn ominous clouds cloaked, preparing to gather as hatred foams from mordant mouths of men through insipid onslaughts of religious scorn while water seeks to wash away defilement as hatred foams from mordant…

Surrendered To Red

Scene I “In the Beginning” Pondering, contemplating void and empty spaces, with a plan to change, reform. He hovers, speaking, injecting sound. Darkness succumbs to light. Days times seven released; it is good. Companionship is born in the garden; manifesting a longing, birthing a promise. Woven lies and deceit perpetrate, leaving fallen grace with fig…

Heaven’s Sling

Void, empty, untouchable space Fathoms of darkness to embrace Far flung from heaven’s sling Echoes of eternity ring Sent from heaven in eons past Unheard sound journeys at last. Small as a stone with atoms power To encapsulate absorb, then devour Years left in darkened slumber Hidden from light, hope encumbered. Flying through time, through…

Melody of Tears, Joy Comes In The Morning

flowing droplets of promised delight, dispensing
cleansing, pulling moisture, effervescent trails
washing removing sadness with rays shining
ascending with waves, pulsating, overflowing

cleansing, pulling moisture, effervescent trails
among narrow passages, releasing, sparkling
ascending with waves, pulsating, overflowing
through cavernous openings of translucent color

Cactus And A Crown Of Thorns

A cactus spread out, like a grand affair Appearing to be such a prickly pear Living in the heat of desert’s day This is life, it knows no other way Living where others wouldn’t dare Growing without much effort or care Time worn, rough on most every edge Nature hoped to rob, beauty pledged On…

Dwell In The Secret Place

A moment with Him is better Than a thousand other days Dwell in the Secret Place There, He will reveal His ways He is waiting! When your hearts meet In a place of sweet reflection Abiding together as one You are far from the enemy’s detection He is waiting! He will reward in the open…

How Great Thou Art “O Store Gud” A Poetic Tribute

Carl Boberg, a young Swedish minister, wrote this hymn in poetic phrase while walking home from a church service in a thunder storm, nearly a hundred years ago. Imagine his surprise when he heard his poem sung to an old Swedish tune. Some forty years later a Russian pastor named Stuart Hine caught in a similar thunder-storm added to this magnificent hymn. Both men, lovers of God, opened their ordinary lives to leave a great heritage for the upcoming generations.
