Meadows and Flame

I'm coming to you once again today, Naked of soul in child's innocence, Robed in lavish scarlet of latent love, And dying for just one moment of truth. Years of whispering to the night sky, Yield to the flit of a deer's flaming tail, Turning to defy bloodied hunter's hands, At the iminent threat to... Continue Reading →

Suddenly So Alive

Art, and the beauty inside it, is meant to shock us,Wrench us forward into being alive.Suddenly a light is incandescent in our field of life,Not line of sight, like some would say-that's not enoughNo, it comes across our field of is, was, will be,And shines for just a moment, like a glimpseOf peripheral vision. Pain... Continue Reading →

You are my Inheritance Oh Lord.

I mentioned today's Gospel in my other post from today, but here is two other readings from today that really spoke to me. I want to live like Christ is my inheritance. He made EVERYTHING, and HAS everything. I want to live like I believe that. And when He showers everything on me, I want... Continue Reading →

Living Faith-The Exciting Way

Tonight I told the Youth Group that I am leaving to go to LA. I'm not going to lie it was pretty hard. I would have chickened out if it weren't for an amazing homily by the Deacon about how important it is to do God's Will and don't look back. (See bottom of the... Continue Reading →

Dreams and Desires

I almost hit my first deer tonight.He was right there in front of my headlights, And for a second I thought he was a person.There were so many thoughts running through my head for that split second."I'm going to hit him!I should stop...I'll never get around him,JUST GET OVER!"Thank God.And then the strangest thing happened,In the...

Writing to Write

The pen hits paper. Metaphorically. No one uses paper and pen anymore. I start speaking innermost thoughts, no feelings...no, I start painting my inner landscape outside of my body. The sadness of one day becomes a vicarious violent jaunt across a blood red sky. The joy of another becomes a happiness medley, a fogue of... Continue Reading →

The One Who Got Away

Well, it's been a while since I've come here.There's a new flesh breathing in my bones wall,Oxidizing in slow denial of fearAsphyxiating when it reaches me.He called answering my silent prayers,Words I couldn't even utter aloud,And I cannot even write now or dare To hope like what's in me wants me to do.He's alive in me again, breathing,Breathing the...

Funny

How when there is so much to say one cannot, How when one should write to mourn nothing's wrong. How when all is lost, no more is sought, How when needed most, I quench the song. How the black abyss looks for my answer, How I turn from all and say it's all ok. How... Continue Reading →
