Sussurations

The inside world inside of you
Dances on with God
Christ's song and Heaven's dance
Whirl round in your heart

Sussurations of the wind-leaves
Of the night's breeze
Sing a whispered melody,
At the stroke of midnight.
The wind sings birthday, as if 
The dawn bird's already up.
Here's the cake's candle - blow it out,
Cause with this breath everything changes

The very air sparkles with light,
And reality sings for joy
And the inside world inside of you
Dances on with God.

God's blessings and a rainbow upon all your days

Celerity

I look back
And see the utopian past
The dystopian present
And the goodness-knows-what future,
Ensconced in a celerity of data.
The world has become
One single machine

Lights of a New Dawn

Shards of a glass past
Rejoining and casting  
A beautiful brilliance onto the future,
Out of the light that floods this day -
A blessed rainbow on all of your days.
Light pervades the very air you breathe,
As you love God with a conversational heart,
Swaying with an immanence of peace

I wish you the frequent thought of trees,
Pastures, fields and leaves

Let the immensity of the skies at dawn
Awe your soul into the wonder of existence.
From this breath on, everything changes, 
For the dawn bird's song goes on forever

The Thoughts of the Puny

Worlds within world
And the phantasm called imagination
Creating, dancing in all 
Alternative universes.
Oh what worlds we create 
With our seven-inch skull.
We humans are puny
But capable of thinking 
About the universe
And making make-believe lands.
And the one we inhabit now - 
Tiny speck of blue,
In a sea of black - 
So small!
But it's a nice speck,
And we call it home.
At least for now

Lockdown

 

Here we are,
Billions of us,
Fighting for sanity
In the prison of our homes.
Will someone set us free?

We hear the jangling of keys,
As God opens our cells one by one

 

The Night Might Have Been Dark

 

The whisperings of the dawn
Beckoned me,
Leading me through the winding streams
And lush pastures
To its source

The night might have been dark
But light has no equal

 

 

Immortality

 

World full of someones,
And I in it
Waiting for the inexorable event
Of my redemption from mortality
By myself?

Surrendering into mortality
To immortality
