A LITTLE SECRET

I’ll share

a little

secret

a thought

to

set 

you

free.                              

But we’re not all the same              

the

only

me            

is me.

I’m sure you’ll find the secret

it’s hiding 

right

in

side.

But tell me

who’s that doubter

wanting

but

to

hide?

Did you 

engage this

or were

you

needing

cause?

Remember 

as a child

you

knew

nothing

of 

these laws.

But really

there

is

truth

in putting

down 

the

sword.

How

truly

how

handy

the

Word

the

Lord.

I WISH ALL

I wish all
to know
the you in me
I wish all
to feel
the love
you give
so free
I wish all
to know
the beauty
the
grace
I wish all
to know
YOU
ARE
THE
PLACE

A Little Dose of Dying

take

a

dose

of 

dying

a little bit each day

then

you 

draw

me

close

to

you

I choose to trust your way

can’t 

report

it’s

comforting

to give my parts away

but

then

when

it

is

done

the better parts can stay

is

this

the 

mystery

of 

the 

cross

why not come out and say

but

then

you

know

by 

watching

us

we’d still get in our way

so

death

by

inches

death

by 

dose

I’ll take it just the same

just

please

write

upon

my

heart

your precious, precious name

PRECIOUS ONE (PRAYER FOR THE WEARY)

My rivers

run 

deep

My mountains

rise high

Low and behold

I’m ever at your side

Fret no more 

my gentle one

grasp my hand

it’s near

Together

we will walk

crushing

every fear

Into a field

of blooms

upon a

mossy trail

My love

for you

my precious

one

Will 

never

ever

fail

Allow Love

allow love

to be.

who?

you.

allow love

to be

who

you become.

allow

love

in

every

instance

for the tenderness in your heart yearns to be

heard

seen

known

recognized

remembered

rejoiced

reconciled

redeemed

renewed

replenished

reinvented

and

radiantly

present.

“HOW?” YOU SAY

Bring life

into life.

“How?”

you say.

Listen

let me tell you.

There’s only

only one way.

Choose each word

rinse it twice

in good.

Smile at the troubles

you never thought

you could.

Put on an armor

of love

from his arsenal and gear.

For never will

you fail

his hand is

always

near.

Walk on

Child.

Walk on

this way.

For each step

you choose

put life 

in your day.

His glory will 

please.

His love

will

praise.

Spring morning

It comes

the morning

binding all of me

dark beneath earth

my head dips down to thee

but then the Springtime rises

the petals do not flee

a thirst and trust

like wine and clay

I drink

it drinks from me

reborn

as

Springtime blossoms

the sun

pulls up

from

me.

The TREE

WHEN SPIRT

MAKES ITS WAY

THROUGH YOU

AND CHRIST

IS

THE DOOR

LET IT PASS

IN

AND

OUT

DAILY

HOPE FOR MORE

SPIRIT

TRAVELS

THROUGH THE HOLE

ONE MADE JUST LIKE ME

WASN’T ONCE THE FLUTE

REALLY JUST A TREE?

BE WELL BE AWARE

Be well

Be aware

Be

Well

Aware

Be well aware my friend

For before you

is all that was.

Before you

is all that will be.

It is this inclusive moment riding on

the spirit of eternity,

the thread of infinity

to seize.

Be one with it, within it.

What could be greater than your conscious efforts joined with the Holy Spirit of life?
