An Angel Dies

An angel dies every time you decry

I am.


God is unmoved and holds true

To what God is


I am and yet I live

In God!


God save these angels.

Insanity

The greatest understanding comes
When you see that you are insane
When you see your insanity
Then you are sane

We spend a lot of time thinking
We are sane
But history shows us that we
Are insane

Our insanity will end
When sanity helps us to see
How insane we all have become
Let the truth be known

A Raindrop

A raindrop fell to the earth
As the earth opened wide
The sky ready to take up
What the earth sends
The sun in the heavens
So far away and so instrumental
To raindrops and the sky
Clouds forming
The earth warming
The day fading
As the moon takes to the sky
Darkness and light
The day and the night
Raindrops falling
Flowers opening
The cycle continues
For now.

The Inner Sanctuary

I enter the inner sanctuary
God has been waiting
Taking ten steps towards me
To every one step of mine

I come forward with a repentant heart
Who could be so proud
How would I enter this place
Like I attained it
Like it was my birth given-right

When in truth
I possess not such divine power

There is only three of us here

God
The Holy Spirit
And my humbled soul

Forever grateful
God heard my silent prayers....

The Outer Sanctuary

I have seen the way the trees bend in the wind
They are strong and have roots that go deep
Mother earth supports their efforts
But there are days when roots give way
A tree falls in the forest
And no one heard it die
But mother silently looked on
As she weaved another root
From a falling trees decay
A sanctuary that has ties
To the inner sanctuary ways

The Sanctuary

Who will be there
When you turn out the lights

Who will care
If you lived or you died

Who do you think you are
Looking up at the stars

You are nothing at all
God grant me a sanctuary

Or perhaps A beautiful death
Before I sleep

I Felt It In The Wind

The wind is music to me
It can be so soft and gentle
I feel it move across me
Her source is hard to define
A high pressure
Meets a low pressure
And a tornado comes
The earth shakes
And trembles
As another butterfly files
Across the meadow
What waves have we
put in motion

My mind reels
My heart feels
As a tear forms in my eye
As she passes by
So softly
I breathe in her air
And I am truly blessed
So aware...
As I now know the power
Of her little wings
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy....

God has many hands and passes our souls
From one to the other
Devouring the good souls
Dropping the rest
Like hot potatoes.

The Devils Ways

I have seen the Devil
He hides amongst the good
This is his domain
As Jesus came to reclaim
The hearts of the good
Look at the world
Look at your lot?
Our Lord who art in heaven
Hallow be thy name....
Thy will be done
This kingdom come
Now and forever
let the devil
Be put to shame

Amen.

I Love nature

I love nature
It feeds my soul
Its spirit moves through me
In me...
When I'm there I want
Nothing more

A long swim in the lake
A nice evening by my camp fire
A friend or too by my side

Come with me
Warm your heart by the fire!

God Is Not A Christian

God is the breath we all breath
Buddhist bow before God in me
If you are whatever you do
Come to see the God in you

Open the eye of your soul
Come to see the newness
That we are awakening too
The God in me and you

Jesus was a newness of life
Not an entity on high
Jesus was a shining light
Come, see.. the life in all

The holiness
The light inside
That is all we need
Come and see...
