Litmus

I listen to what’s popular
I hear what they say
They are crude
Deranged and full of conceit
The effort was supposed to be
Used for goodness and for God
Many left remaining
People alone and afraid
They feel like they are left for dead
Resorting to abhorrent violence
Not many more on the fence
But about what I believe
I would never reveal
But let it be composed in your heart

Only your lips can say what you have found
Just do not tell them where
Leave me to seal what is not to be revealed
Until the appointed time
Let the rivulet flow
Into the river it goes
Multiply your beliefs in love

Soars

I know that there is joy
I cannot figure out why you are so coy
I know you can fly
Nothing to do with being sly

So will you fly away?
Can I see you soar today?
My heart is always yours
My work no longer chores

Fissure

The power and the lines
You would think there would be fines
For the abuse and the pain
Instead there is disdain

Never cared for the gravity
Even though love is in reciprocity
My power is beyond any measure
Explosion from a fissure

In Suffering

Alone
Restless
Otherwise in every respect
Lonely
My heart
It hurts
Make it stop
By uniting
In Christ’s Name
And doing what He expects

Your division is unbearable
But I bear it anyway
In my sufferings
My love for you do I convey
For I was sent here to watch you
Not watch over you
Witness to the very end
In my humblest opinion
He has already returned
Like a thief in the night
But no one is even looking
Only waiting
For something that has already
Happened
And here you are thinking
Where are the miracles
To get your attention
