Do I really
float upon
whimsical seas?
Rudderless,
hopeless,
in random breeze.
Or does hope
arrive on
descended dove.
To lead,
to nurture,
with perfect love.

Clinging on to
wings of grief.
Fading, falling,
Autumn Leaf.
If I should bear a trifle more,
I fear I’d burst
to crystalline hoar.
Longing outward to
guardian gaze,
on deeper waters
soon to laze
to know then
as already known,
in my Father’s love
I’m never alone.

How desperate these times
of angst and anger.
Of self-promotion
and egocentric reason.
I believe in God.
The one absolute,
and single point
of overarching redemption.
I believe the continual
creep of relativistic thought
and truth dilution
cannot dissolve
this absolute.
I believe in love
from a single point origin
where there are no conditions
and selfless focus holds sway.
I believe judgment is veiled with
a self-serving love –
a deception which is steeped
in the minds
of an unreasonable and
uncaring world.

I seek holistic wisdom,
Beyond my furthest reaches.
To cast out temporal leanings,
Embracing God who teaches

Poised in moonlight,
confident of the coming dawn.
The sun rolls ever westward
followed by sorrowful souls
crying in the despair of the postmodern
world peering over the horizon
with a hope of renewal.
Ultimate untethered freedom
is not freedom at all
but rather rules abounding with
near impossible obedience.
Lament those who cannot see
the dilution of one truth –
the moral decay
and sweat of many
gods vying for dominance.
Behold there is
an unwavering absolute.
He is alive and smiles
at His children who
pass on the toils of the flesh
to fall on their knees
and pray to the God
who is Absolute
and the cornerstone of
all morality through His Spirit
to souls seeking and persevering
in One Love.

The dried grasses of late summer
are bending and sprawling
from dew borne on
the cooler night of a changing season.
Slumber is rejuvenation and dreams
encapsulate fanciful recounts of
life thus far.
Embracing change is
shedding the old skin of the past with
renewal to behold new life.
Weather abides and
turns dismal with fog once again
hovering above the earth as the icy
hoarfrost blankets the ground
to ensure no coldness escapes.
It is natural and it is essential.
As the last rusty leaf from the sycamore falls,
I am reminded all things are as God intends.
Take a deep breath and be reborn into
the change in this, your season.

A moment without God
The amber hue
of our inward vision
is mired in
doubt.
Flee
to greener leas
of godly peace
to wisdom in
waters deep
and love serene.

“Buttercups and Daisies” Cameron 1881
Seek the sight of
HE whose eyes
penetrate our sorrow.
Finding those times
of self-disdain
permeated from deep inside-
painting the ugliness
we see in the glass.
For thus is an
ill-gotten plan
to destroy and draw
us way from the hope
that His sight
will show us,
through a prism
of divine light
passing through
a tear on our cheek,
a beautifully made
child with hope
and love for
all time.
HE is Risen
