Hope
Hope is the eternal
The unseen thing
It exists beyond the rocks
Or in the trees that sing
Hope is the Goodness and Light
Beyond the here and now
When our circumstances fluctuate
Or rumors of war abound
Hope is the Gift of the Spirit
Where every need can be found
Hope is in Christ
Who came to save us when we fall
So we can know our God
The Creator of us all
Hope is not a place
In the Heavens or on the Earth
Hope is in a Person
Who guides us gently
with His Word
Who is God
God is the love flowing in my heart
God is the gentle wisdom
written from the start
God begins and ends
with the shining of the Son
In God we find we are chosen ones
To come to earth to heal and love
God is all good things
coming from above
God whispers and sings
in the birds and trees
God listens to the still and quiet voice in me
God is the One
who knows my every need
In God we find that
we are free
Dance
Dance like the day has past
or mornings loom into evening’s last breath
where we no longer walk fettered
by Earth’s glories or can behold the wonder of
light bristling within the leaves
The calm of the sea slumbers as waves kiss the midnight air
Dance as free as these
Dance like the journey has no end
or you are the star born again
to be guided into the highest heights of eternal treasures or travel into unknown lands of ecstasy
We were once miserable men before we found
we are just children of tears weeping at the nature of it all
hobbling on our legs when we can elegantly stand tall so
Dance like you could always live the fullest life you could ever live or
Dance like angels take us in their arms to show us that home
was always within
Angel of Beauty
God sent me an angel of beauty
to remind me of my own beauty
She stood behind me
in robes of white
Tall and lean
elegantly physiqued
Whispering to my soul
in feminine tones
"You are beauty!"
"You are beauty!"
Then, I wished
I looked like her
Archangel Michael
Archangel Michael
has hair as molasses
growing like grasses or
rainbows on oil slicks or
soap bubbles floating to the moon
He hugs me like an ancient friend
I'm more loved by Michael than any
human on Earth
Let's go together and
abandon ship
It wasn't worth it
I'm such a fool
Forsaken
My Son, My Son,
Why have they
Forsaken thee?
David Danced
David danced
before the Lord
Half-naked
they say
In shameless ways
they say
In pure abandon
He danced with all his might
Corinthians
Prophecies will cease
Tongues will be stilled
Knowledge will pass away
But Love never fails
