1…2…3…

The world’s Savior is the only one

Who bore all the world’s vile unrighteousness,

He made the way for pardon,

Uniting the sinner and God; the significant two

Back together again to express three

Vital words: I Love you…

A New Day Awakens

Part starry curtain!

For the consciousness of first light

Has filtered within me immense hope.

News of greatness is awakening

And I yield myself in which my heart

Attempts to lock in the magnitude of satisfaction.

I presently sense the glory of God’s touch of wonder.

My angle of vision

Is upon the heated sun’s breath;

Which bellows across the blue yonder

With its red carpet treatment.

In the upper expanse,

Ivory billows compose a disorderly flight

Of shapes within luminous sky-blue,

And out of the bosom of

The air, whiffs of honeysuckle.

The Place

The December wintry skies reveal longing.

In silence I persistently weep;

My legs greatly tremble,

And subtle weight of heart.

The profound woe I feel;

As it singed my soul

With bitter pain.

the place;

The extent was deep and evident

As I stood empty and yes, hopeful;

In His act of true sympathy

Toward human creation.

Unfathomable Reign

What power!

In the hands that hold in His own authority

My breath of life and all that must be shall be.

Existence as I know it, if God so chooses

Can come to an instant close, but death

As a follower is a profitable passage to glory.

What power!

In the soul-working, soul-bathing

Blood of the beloved, sacrificial lamb

For the spirited life within advances

Through inner transformation thumping in

Favorable circumstances cloaked in gratitude.

What power!

Within every doleful woe, agony, and terror

Of demise that the Almighty allows to happen,

To boldly believe and faithfully endure

With the purpose of permitting my maker

To let me trustingly press on
