Wise man

The clever man knows what to do 
and how to do it
The wise man does it

Circles



The moon’s a dull thing
but sharp, following the sun’s circling 
stealing fallen glory

Destiny is a lighthouse that will lead
you home!
What can I say about myself but, "I wanted to do this but did not!"
if I do not do what is in my heart to do?
what will the world say about me once I've come and gone
only having spoken about the desire burning in me?
what can be said of such a man?
"He was a good son, a reliable friend," or maybe "He was a good husband and father?"
perhaps the opposite is true and all he left was disappointment in his wake.

Who knows for certain what will be said and what will be silenced of such a man?
But one thing you can be sure of not being said by the man or about the man who did not follow his hearts cry is this:
"I/He fulfilled the good destiny that was purposed for me/him!"
For he himself will know the deafness carried in his soul
and the world will see it in the dispirited sheet covering his eyes
Destiny will not and can not be hid, whether fulfilled or not.

By God's grace


Like a dog chasing its short tail, the east the west.

I’m a fragrant bud, sin a bare twig.

Reduction

Some moments reduce
the world and all her colours
to winter black-white

Playground


The earth is not hung by thread, nor stars

by rope or yet the sun by chains

they are not swung around by angels

like a little girl by her daddy

turning on his heels, they're hung by the word

of The Spirit, set in motion by the breath

of The Son and held together by the love

of The Father, who created the universe

as a playground for His children.

SEEDS


A little seed covered with earth
watered, becomes, over time,
the world's lung, heaven's perfume,
shade to man, beauty to the eye
and a home to many.

MILK AND HONEY


Great men make great conquests
of lesser lands, for in everything
they see that which could be.

Flower Girl




We live in a world both
ordered and chaotic.
We live in a world full
of surprises!

COME RUN IN THIS GARDEN


Though I be on the moon
and you lost in the sun
yet still you're with me.
Your feet, like snowflakes,
are always falling
in my gardens.

Weak warrior


The heart of your greatest fear
might just be the cradle
of your greatest victory

The lion and the lamb


Gentle and great
You came on the tip
of a twinkling star
to became an ever nearing
consuming sun

Divinity


To see things and read words, is human
but to feel and truly understand it all, is divine

The Holy Spirit


In the dead of night
in the stillness of my soul
Rivers run their course

Believe

Flowers, of diverse colours
spring up around the dusty fall
of each step, perfumes the air
anointing me and passerb y's
this is the reward of those who seek God
and believe that He is and wants to bless
what a mighty God, who can resist Him?
He makes a way in the desert
edged by flowers, pools of crystal waters
rivers of life, green grass and glades of shade
without ending, that can never be stopped
Be exalted Jesus, be exalted!

Wellsprings







Blow Holy Spirit
blow, through demoralized lives
wellsprings of joy rise!

Cutting night

Waiting for the sun
to fall into a new day
open eye, cut night

Prophets

We all are prophets;
the words we speak,
the actions of our lives,
determine our tomorrows

Faithful Jesus

I've grown so accustomed to bleeding blood
through my skin, for much less than what I need
it's now almost unimaginable
to think of my needs being supplied
let alone above and beyond what could
be dreamt or imagined, as You've promised
yet You are faithful, so I stir myself
to hope, beyond hope I force myself to hope
because with You, hope never fails

Untimely death

Pink salmon breaks through
the thinning ice roof and dies
squirming in the sun
