Fighting to Believe

Teach me Your ways O’ Lord Show me what it is to do Your Will Lead me in ways of righteousness Confusion haunts the wandering mind. How to discern what is true? How to discern what is false? How to know the difference between? Which water will bring life and which will bring sickness? ReligionContinue reading “Fighting to Believe”

Poetry: Where to Go, What to Do?

Here, Hard to say much more than that Hard to explain where we’re at Hard to make out up from down Yet maybe more clear than ever. Long Waiting, Patiently on the seashore Watching the wind and the waves Months and months go by no change When will the sun break Day. Nuclear winter, SkyContinue reading “Poetry: Where to Go, What to Do?”

Poetry: Stepping Out on the Water

Haunting Fear Creeps at the door Seeps through every crevice Deep down dark below. Weighing down Like a blanket of darkness Covering every glimmer Blocking light and glow. Why must you persist? Why must you keep knocking? Darkness, be gone! I’m done with your haunting. Circumstances keep coming Your Love never fails Faith in Hell?Continue reading “Poetry: Stepping Out on the Water”

Poetry/Psalm/Prayer: Recurring Tide

High Tide Bright Light Washes like glowing Ice Breaking through the constancy of life.

Hope, Hope in the invisible Hope in the impossible Hope in the improbable. CanContinue reading “Poetry/Psalm/Prayer: Recurring Tide”

Poetry: The Birth of Dawn

Seek Heal Relief All so Ill Adonai We need Your fill Hashem May it be Your will. Music to my ears Beneath the wings cascading feel We’ve become so unreeled Wildfire haze, clear sky reveal. Sunrise, Mid-day Look up, children let’s play! Orange glow no more Midnight no longer in day! Dance, the dawn breaks!Continue reading “Poetry: The Birth of Dawn”

Poetry: The Night Abyss

Tired Long Last What am I doing? Where have I come from? And where have I gone? Dim night Horizon. Drawn up behind a cloak Too broke to loathe Too…too..I can’t evoke. Be me Fall to your knees What do you feel? Night sky Distant cry Or unreeled? Be me for a day Be meContinue reading “Poetry: The Night Abyss”
