Who am I to think? That what He is in splendor, Has aught to do with who I am. Must I betray my heart's every wish, By trying to move it with my own hand? My lacking of trust and hope confounds me And enters me into the raging battle between mammon, man, and God,... Continue Reading →
Never Seek
I am not going to seek anymore. Or I'll go to seek the best way I know, That is by leaving this for-me-war, And let him come here, victory to show. It'll be the day he wins me over, The day he beams at seeing me with him, The day he made me his with... Continue Reading →
Through the Flames
It seems the world cries out in tears of fire. Will one aflame reside here, to us come? Or must each one filled with hearts desire Reside within the walls of Christendom? The cry ascends to the almighty bower Crescendo hits before the virgin's womb, She looks out in declaratory power And ready's her sweet... Continue Reading →
The Ever Mother Part 3
The soul seethed in agon's blinding dark wall And twisted from the appearance of all sides, But when she lay down her head for One's call, The Mother came and sang swe'eternal lullabies. Hush dear, release the burden of your self. The ego that stands in a rebelling heart. Release the chains pride tightens round... Continue Reading →
Longing
Advent is a time of year When the strings of the violin are too taut, Faithful everywhere are worn, And tired of each day's toilsome lot. Hearts writhe in fearsome rest Lingering in the world's heavy skepticism Gasping air of lasting life And forbidding each step into life's rhythm. Just wait another day or two,... Continue Reading →
The Ever-Mother Part 2
"But" the poor one groaned in ignorance, How could you loose the chains ignominible? They each tread diamond black on my chest, And render dirty hands incapable. A glare descended from nearby on high, A towerer who had come to her once And asking dear one to with the Lord's will comply Looked on with joy... Continue Reading →
Prayer to Zelie
In surprise I viewed the toil that bore down Upon your youthful shoulders in one time. Your weary melancholy came forth out, And blossomed in a tender love sublime. I try not to fear encompassing pain, When my own spirit fights my own short breath. Can you help me when I am nearly slain? Will... Continue Reading →
What I Want
I want to love I want to love in this burning heart. For you I want To long, come and remain apart. In each dark sound I want to hear your tender voice And lie so soft In Your love's all-sheltering embrace. I want to breathe Free and enlivened and so new That e'en in... Continue Reading →
The Ever Mother Part 1
One mother rose before all of mankind Shining forth radiant beams of grace And beaming a radiant wunderkind, Held sway at dawn's so new ascending face. A soul left sole lay crestfall at her feet And burying nose in niche of marble floor Begged that she may her lovely promise keep And teach the weatherworn... Continue Reading →
When the Pen Calls for Blood
It's funny how writing begets writing. How when one begins to bleed new blood It comes forth glistening clear. I came to you as a maid still burning And hope you whispered in my ear. Do not forget my weary soldier. Heart that in the hills may cry. Beget the tears upon the paper That... Continue Reading →
