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.
(c) 2020 Rick Stassi
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.
(C) 2020 Rick Stassi
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
(c) 2020 Rick Stassi
Out of our self
and into the
soft field of
colors and scents
enveloping our sense
and broadcasting within
that we live for others
because of One.
(C) 2020 Rick Stassi
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 NIV
Paul Klee
clear and greener are the paths
that join with azure
ceiling splash with a
two-toned horizon of dissected hues,
one line – separating
spirit and body.
setting sun encourages moon-
warming source
leaves far too soon.
the lesser looks askance –
spying in a night-glance
where sad hearts cry.
I wonder as a melody fills
my infiltrating slumber
like a silent serpentine rill.
where upon my soul is heaven cast?
help me in my plea
for fervent trust
and a love that shall
ever last.
(C) 2011-2020 rick stassi
Carefully metered
From once to soon,
Narrow path dividing
Thorns of wisdom and
Sirens of temptation –
Fields of life
With all fruitfulness
Beg contemplative
Thought born in
A loving God
Who is always there.
(c) 2020 Rick Stassi
Berthe Morisot
Where are days of
climbing fences;
crossing creeks
and summer senses?
Forever remembered
and drawn upon
like the morning dew
on summer lawns.
