The death of a man devoted to God makes a monument of earthen sod.
The death of a corrupt and wicked man hides the paths of ruin

I wrote this tonight:

"A Wish to Wish"

If I had a wish to wish,
I know what it would be:
I wish for all and everyone,
To ponder ‘bout a tree.

A tree is something strange yet true,
As it stretches for the sky,
Inside a seed, a tree once slept,
Then, potential poked and pried.

And from the Earth,
It greeted air, as rain came gushing down,
And to the clouds a trunk did strive,
As roots dug underground.

Now, after many years and years,
Of rain and shine and snow,
Feathers nest inside those branches,
And together they shall grow.

So if I had a wish to wish,
I know what it would be:
I wish for all and everyone,
To see they are a seed.

sweetly divine
tastes like lime
what is and what was
is now gone

I have never put my hope in any but you
who verily art the holy and true
in tempest you came
amidst the pouring rain
knocking upon my door

what have you to do with me Lord
who in the fields abandoned his sword
I am not worthy of trust
but lodge here you must
for there is no hope but thee

And as the rain poured
his word I adored
the power to reclaim all
and because of my fall
to reclaim honour I called
for him to hand me the sword

he spoke thus to me
it is yours again
with this you will fend
with this your life you'll amend
so I took my shield
went back to the field
and there the demon was slain.

wind in the cedars
sitting around the campfire
a feeling of peace

sitting in the cube
surrounded by a sea of blue
peace is far away

Haiku about the Eucharist

I shall eat Christ's flesh
it shall Nourish my spirit:
he triumphs forever

Haiku about God's love

infinite love of God
poured out upon us
man neglects it

A Species from the Rooftops of Jerusalem

A swish from above is heard,
an inertia from your peripheral,
a tapping on your havens top.
Behold the abominable and wicked.

Illusive consensus.
Sinister shadow in flight,
what deeds do you sow in attics?

Foe of the Paraclete,
parrot of the ѕуηαgσgυє,
whose shoulder do you sit?

Oh black vector,
your Sender is unknown.
Does he manipulate history, time and space?

Not a religious poem, but a stab at one none the less.

Langue d' Levant

Yours was the obscure tongue of my youth.
Paternally familiar,
Though narrowly so.
And like my father’s mother,
I’ve never truly known you.
Was it despite you?

How easily am I filled with sentimentality,
When the air slowly brings to my senses
Your gnarled but beautiful melody.

And though I am 10,000 miles from my youth,
I am in a familiar place.
A strange woman,singing your song.
Her delivery, exquisite; Mannerisms, present.

I am filled with grandmothers house.
The kitchen table, cigarette-smoke filled air.
Backgammon and the yelling,
Which wasn’t really yelling I later learned.

Teta. Jeddo.
All gone.
I can say and believe I am proud of you.
But I am defeated.

One day the lord sent me a sign
And showed me a thing that was to be mine

One day the lord came to me
and told me of things that were to be

One day the lord told me with love
and showed me a spirit like to a dove

One day the lord said I'd be His
and told me to work with what is

I said in reply
Lord but who am I
A lowly event of the darkened soils worth
A snail on a plant
A worm on a tree
A sinner a sloth who never shall be

A silence descended
in which the soul spoke
and told me a truth
after which i awoke
for when life is ended
as with a pens stroke
I'll count you among
the blessed folk

I prayed and I cried
and wished that i died
for paradise seemed so far
but resolved for the test
to work with the rest
for the church and people who are
HIS
:cool:

3rd poem
1st attempt at meditation provoking poem:

The slush of the wave
The howl of the wind
The darkness and cold as one

The thoughts of a vice
The cross on the chain
Contradiction!

The terrible iniquity between the rise and the fall
How one is desired while the other is sought
If any man is willing let him take my vice
And leave me with the void
in which shines only the sun

I see before me two ways
while a choir sings with a haunting harmony
One leads to a road with infinite choices
all of which are for indulgence
a million short roads
once traversed
always despised

the other road leads to the clouds
and requires me to rise above myself

Which one shall I chose
for the million roads surround me
or will i close my eyes to the choice
and seek the road within?

In this lies transcendence.

Oh Most Blessed Virgin,
Star of David, Morning Star,
Hear the Cry of your People,
And be thou not too far.

He saw most fit once before,
That your presence would announce,
The coming of Our Savoir,
And His Sorrow in the Mount.

Come once again Mother most pure,
Star of the morning’s first light,
That your people's suffering,
May soon cease upon your sight.

Not Our Lords name used in vain,
Nor self-righteous pharisees,
Will peace bring the Church once more,
Like your sweet image with our King.
