ALTERATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS

I am more than what you see;

So the likes of you and this world

Cannot get the best of me.

 

Some people pray for Jesus;

Others wait for sickness and pain;

A few would cling to isolation,

Rejection or disdain.

 

Anything that gives one distance;

A spinning in his own head;

A sense that his is

The life he is living

And he is not to the outside wed.

 

Rather, he is free;

Free from anyone’s circle,

Reason, space or time;

On his own alone

Within his rhythm and his rhyme;

 

Sure that the truth

He needs at this moment,

He will at this moment find.

Unless he passes out or over

The line where he is blind.

FAITH

I just cannot admit

How sad life is;

I am in complete denial

That neither I nor anyone

Can control it.

I must take it!

Keep going and

Just smile.

Yet someone is always thinking

That he is the winner

Bemusing everyone else

All the while.

WONDER

Would that I had a song to sing;

As the whippoorwill

Or the tree frog;

To gladden the day or

To pacify the night

For the rest of the world.

 

A song that fit

No matter what

The clime or time;

Not a rhyme chosen by me

Haphazardly;

A fickle gift;

A love that comes and goes.

 

But one that God knows and

That shows all of creation

That He is;

That He is good and

Beautiful and free.

 

Take me;

Until I can protest no more;

But rather adore

The God that made me.

FOREVER REMEMBERED

There is too much eternity to fill

With my simple humanity;

Especially in the darkness

And in the night

When I might become blind

For a time

To the face of God;

Deaf to His voice or;

By my choice

Drown the silence with noise.

Sin is forever more real

Than some far off heaven;

Unless, I remember.
