DON’T BE A GOAT

We know

Christ has it right

as we move 

toward 

the light

so strap on your boots

or walk on blistered feet

just stay 

the 

narrow 

it’s where the 

light

you’ll 

meet

I can’t speak for goats

lolling in the hay

but this

I can tell you

your heart

knows

just

the 

way

it’s here

it’s patient

grace keeps

no score

and all

of the mercy

you’ll ever need

is

hidden

in 

your

core

The Mountain The Blooms

The ground

YOU

walk on

“HOLY, HOLY.”, says the bees.

And all in the forest

concure with the trees.

What’s all your fussin’

what’s all your blame?

Take a walk in nature

do you hear it shame?

Of course not!

We, while beggars

see not the trees

or know the sound of eternity

humming like bees.

It takes a broken moment

forged from deep faith

to see the truth in light

from where all

and all

is right.

Metal your efforts

return to child’s play

for Christ has plans

and Christ has ways.

Now go to the Mountain

walk through the blooms and blaze.

Take the hand of Christ

follow all Christ’s ways.

Join the journey

stop to smell the blooms.

Heaven in your heart and mind

has many

many

rooms.

MUSTER

Muster

yourself

train

your

inner

troops

all those nascent

ones

learning to march

toward

light

at

your

command

for

goodness

sake

Begin Anew

We seek

We search

We stumble

We fall

and Low and Behold

we discover…

There in the supplication

and our open hearts

we discover anew

thankfully

our Divine path

our Eternal guide

Our Beloved Jesus.
