The Soul Among the Cosmos, the Heavens, and Earth

By Richard Anciso

The book deals with the soul of one man out of the approximately seven billion souls on the earth. The struggles and thoughts that course through his mind as he goes about living and worshipping God trying to help other souls that might be having a hard time and let them know that they are not alone. And to remind ourselves that there is family, humor, thoughts of God and the world around everyone of us because everyone has a story to tell or a poem to be written. And if we happen to come across those stories or poems and take them into our souls we might be better persons because of it.

IN THE LAND OF JESUS

How I wish I could walk

In the land that you walked

To touch a pebble you touched

So long ago

A grain of sand

A blade of grass

To gaze upon the hills

That you gazed upon

One two or three days ago for you

And yet thousands of years ago for me

I yearn to feel the Wind

That touched your face

To see the clouds that

Hovered over you so many

Years ago

I wish to receive a

Blessing that is forever in the land

That you walked on so many

Many years ago

TEARS OF SADNESS

Jesus was apprehended

A sack was put on his head

He couldn’t see the blows coming

They reached inside and yanked his beard

They shoved him, they kicked him

Pulled the sack off long enough for a spit

He stumbled because he couldn’t see

They laughed and asked, aren’t you God

They took him to Pontius Pilate

To do their dirty work

Left him there to suffer more torment

Pilate was ready to oblige

They whipped him forty times minus one

Put a crown of thorns upon his head

Laughed and called him King

They dragged him to Pilate once again

Pilate could find no fault

The Jewish priests cried for his head

He made the people decide between a King and a thief

The people decided and betrayed a King

They hung him between two thieves

One took him into his heart

The other did not

People laughed and said what a King

Blood and sweat poured out of him

Down his body onto the ground

It wasn’t the beatings or the nails
