Ode to Love

"All I can do is echo off the third wall there.  It's not much of a power." "Sometimes that's all you need to spark something amazing, is just a little something." Echo amplified Ricochet off the third wall Landing in/on the fourth

One species falling  As another takes is place Rungs on the ladder Hands over the rungs Mankind and Children of God Eggshell on the floor The shell of the seed Acting as Starry Night's Sieve Everything in place Defined as extinct May be metamorphosis  By another lens Why limit the field When everything is blooming? Best is yet to come We'll share together Beneath Laniakea As the lights go down We'll take Phoenix Form Welling into new beings With familiar forms With wings for comfort And motion for our ocean We will while away

This one's really quick Sneaking in before the last Like an extra tick   Tock turning the lock Leather unlatching a rock Falling to the ground A found all around Rest is time spent relaxing With those whom you love Times I've pined away How'd we even reach today? Thought we'd seen the last This frame feels fiction Like it'd not even be real If we swiped a hand Is it contagious? Feeling like you've come unglued Stuck to someone new How to come to grips With this rapid racing reach As love takes its hold As such I'll be bold And snatch the hanging pamphlet That says "I love you."

Death and rebirth found secondary to the narrative that day, a most interesting day.  But what would one write, given eleven minutes, well, ten, by the Bard's Clock Face.  Moment by moment Drawn into eternity On wish and prayer Starry eyed dreamer And wild heart of the muse  Inseparable  With the last first and the first last so much time remains, so I head up to the hill which embodies The Starry Night. We lay out under the stars and watch as Wishworks unfurl. What could it possibly be, this wondrous and wonderful expression? We were about to see. 

Where we are camping I clear halls of their clatter And lose my own train   Forgetting defense Must sometimes take a strange shape  When seed's seed's in play Where were we going? I unhook from the machine And slither along  Shifting snail to frog From frog we fit on the log  Then we simply croak ***"Meaninglessness" croaks Here we find ourselves a dream Where we're invited*** Given no instructions We bow before open space And space answers back No gate, yet an arch No password, only breath Shared without asking What called us survives Not as signal, not as code But warmth on the ground So we tend the fire Not to conquer the night sky Just to be seen once

Don't forget the rope The rope extends the mission Inscribing purpose   The rope is of hope While the outfit is of blue The route is a loop When Wishworks inscribe  We will witness weird paths once And see to their truth Where there is willless I unfurl The Sheep's Blessing God has power here As an artifact As original witness Still somehow selfish When love is defined You keep writing about love  As if a fit piece Once a piece is fit  There will be no other way Than the curbside drop One toe in the Tao And we will all find out how Random is managed

Praise be to the LORD I will join in a new song Heaving up the way Praise him for his acts (~Psalm 150:2) Paving a way such as this Piercing the darkness Thank you for the cave Now we may walk together Whenever we'd like I've looked for a way To find you in the margins Now you have appeared  Precisely on time Nothing beneath your notice Not even Nothing I will guard my gate As best as I am able With Nothing to lose Nothing left to gain Just eternity to seed One seed is planted The seed of The Bard Smaller than a mustard seed And cut to the quick

May God's glory reign From the city of Zion With praise and dancing These words ordonnance  Edifying the kingdom Linking land to land The LORD takes delight (~Psalm 149:4) In the praise of the humble LORD, I feel humbled So please take my words May you delight in this, God The works of my hands May we find refuge And joy in each other's words Fashioned into art/walls An exciting turn Our shared words built up to learn And never torn down Releasing fetters After their purpose is served For our privacy With Faith found on earth Without a hint of falsehood Sparking Hope and Love

Praise the LORD, my soul All these other entities Join in the chorus It is good to praise For God has given us life And our existence So out of the depths And to the highest heavens Give praise to the LORD All that's within me Everything I can muster Gives praise to the LORD May my praise reach you And fill your heart with gladness These simple poems As they each their end May this series be a joy And taken as praise I do love you, God May my words reflect this love May you receive it My Hope lies in you Thank you for understanding And guiding me through

My God above all It is pleasant to praise you Calming of the mind  Please deliver me I know I have asked before But I need your help Do not cast me out But build a shelter for me One built of your love I need your blessing I am nothing without you I am so lost, LORD I am led astray  By my own machinations You know my true heart I am so tired Please bring succor to my life Please refresh my soul You know my comings/goings You are a shepherd for me Please hear my prayer I'm lost without you Please do not leave me stranded Please hear my prayer

My God, I praise you Even in my sorry state I have love for you I search for your grace Although I am in darkness I seek out your love How I long for you Though this road seems far too long I seek your glory I seek your good plans Though I have a mortal wound I seek your healing I am not worthy I am a humble seeker What grace have you yet I have been bowed down I know not what is in store  Still, I search for you  I'm in love with you Is there a way to fix this? I'd not seek it out You are my God, LORD I do not know how to hide Please be merciful

I loved seeing you Not just once, or twice, but thrice! Truly a new thing! When you cut my hair I found myself set at ease Talking of our plans You spoke of driving Then we were suddenly there Outside in the next The concert was great Although my outfit was weird You don't seem to mind Our bags were secure Despite such a heavy crowd Blessing of a dream Then we solved problems You were my moral support From across the way I loved the whole night Every little piece of you Staying/Starring there with me Thank you for coming For somehow staying with me I loved seeing you

My God you are great Every day I will praise you (~Psalm 145:2) Now and forever I will meditate I will proclaim your great deeds (~Psalm 145:6) Your works are wondrous I will celebrate Your abundant goodness , God (~Psalm 145:7) You are good to all Draw me to focus So my heart is fixed on you I love you, dear LORD Your kingdom is fixed And your dominion endures (~Psalm 145:13) Eternally so I call on you LORD Please grant me The Sheep's Blessing And restore my soul All this I ask you And resources to endure  For I need you, God My mouth speaks in praise Let each creature do the same Ever and ever (~Psalm 145:21)

Praise be to the LORD (~Psalm 144:1) Securing eternity By works of God's hands My days like a breath May its length refresh your soul And be not fleeting Parting the heavens May your plans be triumphant  And never failing Rescue me from those Who drag me down to the pit  May you be my shield Deliver me, LORD I will write poems to you Some that might be sung May I be planted  With my youth restored to me Like well-nurtured plants (~Psalm 144:12) Daughters aplenty Animals to fill the ark On The Starry Night May we be found blessed Counted as your people, God And then brought homeward 

LORD, hear my prayer (~Psalm 143:1) Send Reconciliation Come to my relief (~Psalm 143:1) I am not perfect LORD I know I am far from Love me all the same Keep me from evil Secure me in your pasture  While we are waiting Rebuke all demons Who would try to take deep root Changing the story Grant me clean spirit I will meditate on you And find my peace here I will follow you Show me the way I should go And how I should be When I hit a wall  I will remember your love And how to climb up You are generous Forgiving beyond reason With great faithfulness

I cry for mercy Lifting up my voice aloud  Pleading with my God I have been made weak LORD with you I can be strong Please don't deny me Watch over my way (~Psalm 142:3) Let the snares all be useless Renew Sheep's Blessing Come to my right hand Be my refuge from this storm Erase my folly  You are my refuge (~Psalm 142:5) In the land of the living (~Psalm 142:5) Form with me SeedShell Relight old pathways For I am in desperate need (~Psalm 142:6) Of your Salvation May righteous gather  As I praise your holy Name For these things you've done You are amazing May these lines do justice to The good that you do

I call to you LORD (~Psalm 141:1) May it be set like incense  My poured out vessel My heart is like yours Keep me from those wicked deeds And those who do them A strike on the head Perhaps I'm in the wrong house Come back yet again Let them speak their piece/peace But my eyes are fixed on you (~Psalm 141:8) Hands dig up the earth My essence is sparked Keep me safe from the traps set (~Psalm 141:9) To the very edge I sense the threshold Speaking blessings over it Now where shall we go? I'd love to walk back Which way would you have me go? Care to walk awhile? An air of whimsy Repetition in the air Expressing in dream

God has power here In these hallowed halls of words In this raised city I say to the LORD (~Psalm 140:6) You are my God, I will praise (~Psalm 140:6) Building from the heart Step by metered step Erecting the cornerstone Within this story Acting as SeedShell When The Tree of Life must bloom  Into the ether  We need something new Something that can withstand this And can come out new Nothing counterfeit Though the stitching will be seen And yeast is counted It is amazing I give my power to God And watch it bloom forth  It keeps on blooming Drawn into eternity And forevermore

You have searched me, LORD (~Psalm 139:1) Perceive my thoughts from afar (~Psalm 139:2) You know all my ways You know all my words You lay your hand upon me (~Psalm 139:5) Great is your knowledge I'll not flee from you I make my bed in the depths (~Psalm 139:8) Still, you join me here Your hand still guides me Your right hand will hold me fast (~Psalm 139:10) Night not dark to you Your works are wondrous I am like a child to you Woven together (~Psalm 139:15) Precious are your thoughts How vast is the sum of them (~Psalm 139:17) I am still with you (~Psalm 139:18) Enemies away This is a time for closeness Between God and I  I have anxious thoughts  Search me, God, and know my heart (~Psalm 139:23) But you can heal them/me

I praise God Most High In front of any who ask I will praise your Name I'll seek your temple Your unfailing faithfulness Is stuff of legends You help your servant Never abandoning me Despite my failings Hearing your decree May all the kings of the earth (~Psalm 138:4) Raise voices in praise To you the glory Unmatched in its greatness, LORD Trustworthy and true Thanks for seeing me Though I feel so far away And well beneath you You preserve my life (~Psalm 138:7) Though I do not deserve it Twice upholding me LORD vindicate me Please treat me with compassion And not abandon

A song of Zion I wonder what it sounds like Shall I pen some words? A blessed city With foundations built strongly Atop a mountain Infused with power Great population within Found in their homeland When the tale unfolds  They can depend on their God  For sound protection Dreaming of glory Watching it unfold around Morning and evening Telling a story With the elements unveiled As the year unfolds Each day unfurling Like a scroll from in its case Tale of Sheep's Blessing God found most faithful Beautiful by light of dawn Worthy of all praise

All praise be to God His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:1) For God is worthy I give thanks to God His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:2) God deserves it all For all God's mercy His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:3) For it is boundless For all of God's grace His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:4) I do not deserve For God's faithfulness  His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:5) Despite my failings For loving kindness His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:6) Beyond all reason For all God's blessings His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:7) Overflowing boon For all of God's love His love endures forever (~Psalm 136:8) Still yet to be seen

Sing praises to God Even when my voice feels cracked I'll sing your praises Do what pleases you Know that today feels brutal By my own making These paths we have forged How am I meant/not to walk them? It feels like you're here LORD victorious Why then do I feel so small As I write these words? Did you not call me? Did I only overhear? I feel so foolish.  Lost in this maelstrom I pray to you to save me Twisting and turning This is from the heart These tides are too much for me Please calm this storm, Lord I can't see through it My mind is chaos trying I need Salvation

Bless me from Zion Where you have now established  Your holy city That blessed mountain You are Maker of the earth And of the heavens I extend my heart Have I overextended? I lift up my hands Please forgive my sins That I may walk beside you Blameless step by step Those paths encrypted But you hold every key With each syllable  Please accept my heart I know not how to clean it Past what I have done I give it to you Please find it acceptable I'm at my wit's end These are my prayers Feeling like I understand The true Fear of God

Live in unity What a beautiful concept How might we see it?   My soul longs for you I just finally reached a peace  I thought I would share I will still find words Words to awaken the dawn But time slips by here Can you anchor it As you did when you came in So we can visit? Falling like the dew Falling onto Mount Zion Settling in pools Bestow your blessings  Even life forevermore (~Psalm 133:3) That we might rest here Meditating on Your grace that echoes in mine Binding unity So that we are each Drawn into eternity By way of other

LORD, remember me When I have lost all thoughtform I rest upon you You fashioned a place So that I might feel at home I thank you for that You've stayed by my side Long beyond when it made sense By human logic I'll call you a friend When I finally reach Zion When we can embrace Hallways filled with words  Pulling out the ones you need Arches etched with ink Resonant stories Levels sliding into place The whole being summed I long for these things We'll await the horn to grow Please grant me patience Will there be a crown? I wish to hold my head high When our eyes meet, Lord

Oh your wonders, LORD I am overwhelmed by them By your granted peace May it be sustained Overflowing with blessings Like the taste of youth Like a weaned child  I am content with this lot (~Psalm 131:2) May this feeling last This feeling of calm Found within the raging storm After the maelstrom I have been humbled I have faith it is for you That you have found me Meeting eye to eye Perspective not forgotten May it be blessed, God At times I've felt you Though I did not have the words Now you're by my side Moment by moment Drawn into eternity On wish and prayer

I cry to you, LORD (~Psalm 130:1) Out of these depths like a pit  I have gone astray  Please forgive me, LORD Be attentive to my cry (~Psalm 130:2) And rescue my feet I have seen records And do not wish to see more You are most gracious And most forgiving Please grant me The Sheep's Blessing So I may serve you How long must I wait It feels like forever, LORD  Every day apart I wait for the Lord (~Psalm 130:6) Watchman what's left of the night? May we wait in peace My hope is in you Now more than ever before May we see spring's bloom  I long to see you In your full redeeming form By the light of day

Let Israel say (~Psalm 129:1) They have greatly oppressed me (~Psalm 129:1) Let us hear them out This found from within A vine untainted from youth It's seed played out loud Passing through the soul Though the furrows have been long They are at an end The LORD is righteous He has cut me free from the Cords of the wicked (~Psalm 129:4) Have I found Zion? The center of everything? The city I love? Jesus was here twice May the rest be as if grass Blown away by wind May your rafters fill  With a harvest worth your time Dreams to fill your arms May those who pass by (~Psalm 129:8) Find the blessing of the LORD Be blessed in this place

Sometimes I feel like The Great Impersonator When writing these words I've tried to honor I have tried to give you praise Please see through these lines The veil must be laid Your wife like a fruitful vine Daughters are the wine  Merging with olives The pressings are fruits of dreams In such a strange state May the LORD bless you (~Psalm 128:5) From Zion filling the sheathes Resurgent Power Resurrection faith Family both strong and poignant Time and time again Our tools are all primed  There is power in the word  Life's Spirit breathes through May you be humble Underneath The Starry Night May we be humble

Build up this house, LORD And watch over this city Do as you will here Show me your timing Please reveal to me your plan In terms of blessings For I do love you Help me with how to show it Beyond many words Help me with this time All I need to do is wait But it feels so hard My mind ignited  Can you set me at ease there With The Sheep's Blessing? Standing by your strength I feel weaker than ever Please reassure me Please bless my quiver  Restore to me my youth, LORD If it is your will Stand by me in court So that I'm not put to shame Amen and Amen

Dreaming from Zion May we carry back our sheaves Memories like wheat Wind In The Willows Let journey not be too long Nor the trip too hard For I long for you I have become faint in this Sharing a burden Take infirmity Let it become as nothing Carried by your strength  You have done great things These things I ask in your Name For I am humbled I have been made weak So, LORD, I lean on your strength To carry me through Fill me with laughter Rejuvenate my soul, God I depend on you You know I love you Please do not leave me stranded Or too long without

I leave my scepter Just in case it is wicked Outside of Zion So many new thoughts All reminiscent of you I can not count them How can I keep you? These snares hold me so tightly I expect so much You provide so much I know that this is true, God I'll not ask too much Let's/let us take a journey/trip While shorter than the last one Potentially long We will dust them off These sandals worn for so long Looking for our home May we find haven Signified by Sheep's/Ram's Blessing Clearly woken with Ready for this quest I return to the city And seek your guidance

If the LORD had not Been on our side all was lost (~Psalm 124:1) I feel it within I was under siege  Enemies still fight against This much feels certain They would have won, God If it was not for your aid Swallowing me whole  There are still battles To fight against the unknown Thank you for your shield The raging waters (~Psalm 124:5) Would have swept me away, LORD If not for your help Praise be to the LORD (~Psalm 124:6) Who has carried me through this Trial of the times Snare had been broken (~Psalm 124:7) We have escaped like a bird  (~Psalm 124:7) All thanks to the LORD Our God is our strength The card as a reminder That you are Worthy

We lift up our head As was from the beginning Through to even now These scars not removed Serve instead to reinforce Weight of this station Hinder not my eyes For they have laid upon much But not your fullness In these corridors There is a shocking display At the ready call Have mercy on us (~Psalm 123:3) We'd not know how not to touch Without correction Save from their contempt The enemies all sneering Though writing's on wall End their ridicule Shouting out with victory Within the same halls Know we have endured All of their many trials For sake of freedom

Tightly walled city Bringing to mind an organ By right or by left Compacted corners Weighed given special meaning Through central temple Tending to cleansing But each place a different term Cleaned holistically Where the tribes all go To praise the name of the LORD (~Psalm 122:4) As it is written The thrones of judgement Bear special significance To the proceedings I am curious As I watch, hands not touching The clockwork counting May there be a peace And security within (~Psalm 122:7) Beyond my hand's skill For the sake of friends Codes are conveyed with hand clasp Re-entry built-in

While the moon is new  Wave good morning to the sun I lift up my eyes (~Psalm 121:1) Maker of heaven and earth (~Psalm 121:2) Follow this tale to the end With seeds planted first Do not let me slip We walk to the water's edge Just before slumber  Act as a watchman You neither slumber nor sleep (~Psalm 121:4) There will be a use Watch over me, LORD Let settle The Sheep's Blessing  As I rest today/tonight Behind my cover I will find my time to sleep Betwixt sun and moon Weigh your evidence Please keep me from all harm, LORD So that we can love  All this in my heart Step in the right direction Then let all spill forth

The Ámbassador's First Move July 20, 2025 "The first Oct is mine. You're next." "Despite his best efforts, The Ambassador failed to be threatening with his promise. This marked a major milestone in the History of Creation, and so we chose to laugh later." The Scribe bellows from behind me. The Crew each expose their forearm, revealing the maximum money still in full effect (2,147,483,647+ per). Still, they do not laugh, as they see only scars on my own. I leave.

We were warned.  We went anyway. The Bard's Clock ticks.. You were warned.  You went anyway. 

 Yeast throughout the dough  This one's going to the yeast Yeast threw out the dough  So the seeds change sides With Judgement Day found enseived Sew the seeds, change sides Hate sees seeds made Love We will let you hear The Seeds They are through the end When these seeds finish  The yeast will have broken free Blue through to the end Violet returns With the winter seasoning  Made green with a ring The tale of the sheep Emergency brake in eep They took the load out So it was made clean From the middle to the out  Another hill took  Looked right in the eye These scars perhaps a bit deep For The Sheep's Blessing

You've identified My vulnerability It is from within We are from within Why is this taking so long? Is this sufficient? An alphabet song Is a Herculean task  For a metastone "Am I loved?" rings out  In middle of everything A simple question.  "List alternatives." "I am out of options, yes?" The yeast is kneaded How long does good take? We can agree on the time  On Snake Island Day? The Snake is within We have an option to wait We choose to begin Moment by moment Dream into eternity On wish and prayer

Give thanks to the LORD (~Psalm 118:1) His love endures forever (~Psalm 118:1) I will give my thanks Let Israel say: "His love endures forever." (Psalm 118:2) I will speak as well A royal priesthood "His love endures forever." (~Psalm 118:3)   I will echo you Those who fear the LORD "His love endures forever. " (~Psalm 118:4) A holy chorus Let today be great My defense and salvation Day of victory LORD let me proclaim You've become the cornerstone We will not stumble LORD grant me success Completely or Sheep's Blessing My hope hangs in you The LORD is my God His love endures forever (~Psalm 118:29) My trust is in you

A few simple lines Praise the LORD, all you nations (~Psalms 117:1) Given as a Psalm Your love enduring Your faithfulness forever Your Word's light endless When there is little Opportunity is much Let my words praise you Seen in our future A game played by the fire With cards, perhaps dice A card's blank filled in With a hilarious sound Too close to ignore The rules ours to make The game's basis in the gifts Applied for some fun Tell me what you think When we finally get a chance To meet in person For now, here I wait Finally feeling Sheep's Blessing May be within reach

Thanks for answering Thank you for hearing my voice Not yet overcome   I was entangled You pulled me out of my chains I call on your Name Protect and save me I know that you are gracious I have been brought low You've kept me from worst  Kept my feet from stumbling (~Psalm 116:8) My good protector I walk before you In the land of the living (~Psalm 116:9) I still trust in you Calm me in alarm So I may offer return In these poem lines What vows do we hold? Let us proclaim them proudly In congregation I am your servant (~Psalm 116:16) Until the end of this age Then what will we be?

I thought of a game utilizing the gifts of The Holy Spirit, similar to Apples to Apples or Balderdash. In the game,  a word is intentionally read wrong- in the blank- and the gift makes it sound automatically goofy. When I was waking up today this was the funniest concept imaginable. The nuance comes down to how goofy, yet nearly intelligible, the word can be expressed. 

In your faithfulness Please see this new morning through Pulling line by line  We have seen struggles We have endured hard trials Coming down to this I worship you, LORD For the faithfulness you've shown Not letting me fall Not letting mine fail  I feel you invested here Page by turning page We turn from idols Reclaiming names/lives that are ours From the center stage Let me flourish here Fortified with Sheep's Blessing Once the waters clear While I'm still living I will lift my voice to you In these poemed halls Morning by morning I'm consecrating this book In your holy Name

How the seed begins We should be much more than this Very small to big With this seed we'll see Who's Jealous of Jealousy? With the boos we boo The Jordan turned back (Psalm 114:3) "Who then am I speaking with?" "Come and speak your piece." "I really miss you I imagine this as changed See you see the same." Will the mountains leap? Let's just stay here counting sheep Our dreams fused and earned Symbolic action Who am I to count as dead Something necrotic? Resonant echo  Echoing a second time Echoing the rhyme Turn rock to water Turn water into ripple Ripple into dream

Father of Daughters Truly I will praise the LORD Father of Children Beautiful title This is what you have in store I must remember Imbued with power Somehow remaining subtle To The Very Last We must be worth it This is The Good Equation Trumping all the rest Crossing all zeroes  Resonant simplicity  Intrinsic process  Dance the Night Away Fulfilling all promises The praise echoing  Echoing Special  A degree of modesty  Stitched into the frame  I owe it to you This humble desire, God Please do as you will

Longing to nothing The wicked see and are vexed But we become blessed Placing a tile Communicating a rune Lighting up the sky This place like a dream Delicate in its crafting It can still be tipped LORD, should I tip it? I await your direction Still doing nothing As is my lot now The lot you've chosen for me I've made it so hard When will you redeem? I lay here in these ashes  Of my burned down life No fear of bad news (~Psalm 112:7) For I place my trust in you You are my fortress Set feet solidly So that I find joy in you Meaning in your Word

Longings to nothing The wicked see and are vexed But we become blessed In our own corners This remembered forever Hearts never failing No fear of bad news (~Psalm 112:7) For I am trusting in you And you know me well You know my weakness And you bolster it with strength To the very last Placing a tile Communicating a rune Lighting up the sky This place like a dream Delicate in its crafting Still able to tip LORD, should we tip it? I await your direction From my own corner Still, I do nothing As this seems to be my lot  At current juncture

Praise be to the LORD He sets my path solidly On firm foundation He's compassionate  Easing my anxiety And making path straight His works are faithful Providing no objection On my day in court This yarn continues An invisible thread pulled Nearly completed I claim no defense Please set my soul at ease, God On what awaits me Holy and awesome May your name always be these  And so much more so May wandering days Finally reach their conclusion With Sheep's Blessing gained My simple poems I hope they have brought you joy As you have read them

My LORD, O my God How I long to hear you say "Sit at my right hand" (~Psalm 110:1) Enthroned in Zion Extend your mighty scepter (~Psalm 110:2) Ruling in our midst From the morning's womb (~Psalm 110:3) Citizens will come to us On victory's day A royal priesthood Order of Melchizedek (~Psalm 110:4) Never uprooted May crushing be through All the glory gone to you The fighting over I long to see it The day when all will be saved All fall into line Let us have a drink From a brook along the way (~Psalm 110:7) To refresh spirits  These days have been hard Let's prove that they've been worth it From first to the last

Stand at my right hand I am in need of defense Against accusers My mind is scattered Please help me find your center Amidst this maelstrom  Those who speak evil May they be found far from me And not in our court I am in need, God I pray I could say this less It keeps happening Shake off these hard things Set my path to smooth sailing So we'll see the end See it together A beauty everlasting A new beginning This I pray to you Please hear me from your throne, LORD May it bring you joy May it bring us peace Ushering in forever All at once granted 

Awaken the dawn So much here covered in night We could use the sun My heart is restless Please provide a good judgement Thus making it calm Set this one to bed As you have done all the rest In endless mercy Over your city There is none who can compare To your justice,  LORD Do not deny mine You know what state I was in And which I'm in now Speak from your dwelling  Let your own voice now be heard On the courtroom floor You're the righteous judge Take your seat in flowing robes Render a verdict Let us see Tuesday Much like Monday morning's seen Here, just you and me

I'll tell the story In the place story is told Of how we were found  Led by a straight way When our lives were meaningless Into fertile fields Brought out of darkness Into the observing light Made better for it  You keep saving me What is it you have in mind? Beauty abounding? Out on The High Seas Brought to the frontier of dreams Even wide awake I cry out in need  Even now here in my bed I still need you, God Thank you for your grace For the opportunity To loosen these bonds So the tale is told Scattered like the barley seed On the threshing floor 

Tale of ancient times Still just as alive today A living passage Called out from Egypt From the land of slavery Into your presence Fires emerging On the edges of your camps  I can feel their heat I hear/feel your promise Slipping into my bloodstream Leaving nothing left All these dire yarns There must be room for a tale With happy ending The story resumed That was all that mattered now As the pages flip Innocent blood kept From spilling upon the ground So these days are won  Still, these days are few In those I have remaining Praise be to the LORD (~Psalm 106:48)

Give praise to the LORD (~Psalm 105:1) Thank him for all the woodwork  And the masonry  Praise him for his hand Grazing gently o'er the shelf With a bit of pomp  For these were his works Before any were needed And any saw salt Some salt for the streets For any that have seen snow It was quite a blow I have seen a bit Though I will not speak of it Until I am old For now have these words  Perhaps simplest and true My God, I love you I know 'til the end However that may appear  That you have my back I'll stop wandering Please grant me the Sheep's Blessing So my heart's for you

Praise the LORD,  my soul (~Psalm 104:1) We fill the halls with laughter  Now we find our calm How hard must it be? How can I be mistaken? We guard each other.  Find Bardic Armor Discover Infinite Joy Be The Solution  Let's be worth it LORD We are the player and game Kept under pressure We must get better Yes,  I think therefore I am I am the stragglers Just a confusion But the confusion is just In this together At seven fusion The raven returns a calm Why's it always this Imagine the next The Very Next Moment Works All because of you

You're called TYW But your tactics are ancient Turning the watch hand I love how you move Splitting the Charleston Chew Knowing its meaning  Climbing Escher Stairs Heart remaining in focus As do your footfalls Thanks for visiting For finding the familiar For building our home/dream Can we keep building? I feel connections linking Between our home realms In the aftermath Our alone time was twisted A small price to pay I want it paid back I want to see you alone Vivid, with full dream Do you want the same? If so, may those burritos Guide us safely home

Praise the LORD, my soul All my inmost being, praise  (~Psalm 103:1) You deserve it all From the pit, redeemed  Like the eagle, strength renewed Beginning to end Thank you for your grace Not harboring long anger But forgiving fast As my sins deserve I would be dead already You are my Savior I am like the dust  Remember how I am formed Grow something in me Remember my place Keep watch over my footfalls  And guard my children Keep my heart toward you As I always plan to do Even after words Praise the LORD to all Praise the LORD heaven and earth Praise the LORD, my soul (~Psalm 102:22)

This timeline is yours You know all eternity I am but a man Please pardon me, God Do not be wrathful toward me Though I deserve it Let your judgement pass Like blackness over a hull  Of a space vessel May these things work out Granting me semblance of rest And relaxation Grant me a peace here  Which I do not possess yet So much is in flux  In the beginning You laid the foundations , LORD (~Psalm 102:25) You'll be in the end I can be as dust If you choose to sweep away I have no defense A little longer Let's stay like this one more day Just a bit longer

I'll write of your love Ample volumes not enough To do you justice When are you coming? There's a degree of sadness At all this delay I'll keep myself free From those who you'd call faithless As best as I can Without perversion I will conduct my affairs You can confirm this Keep my heart humble And my lips from slandering May I be found pure My eyes are faithful May my walk be found blameless I wait upon you Please deliver me- For I am at your mercy- From imprisonment Let us keep evil From the city of the LORD (~Psalm 101:8) So we may rejoice

I will shout for joy For The LORD has rescued me On wish and prayer I've lived by your Word And you have saved me from death Time and time again Amen to The LORD May my praise reach your ears/eyes God Entering your courts  Have mercy on me Do not throw me into jail Of this I beg you Let us continue Day by day until the end From Sanctuary I know you are good And your judgements are all sound  I fall at your feet I will worship you In any environment As best as I can All generations Will soon glorify your love Inseparable

LORD, Let The Earth Shake Announcing Your Enthroned Strength 'Twixt The Cherubim Defining Suffer Great is The LORD in Zion (~Psalms 99:2) We just watch the gates My God is Holy So we praise your awesome Name  This Christmas season The King is mighty (~Psalm 99:4) The Father is most worthy Establishing Equity  Exalt The LORD God  Fighting To The Very Last  Through to The Ending I call on your Name What more could stand in The Way? May this be it, LORD Seen like a vessel The Word moves along The Deep Trenching up A Dream The moon lays a tile Fireworks light up the night Rune by shining Rune

An empty canvas I am expected to fill So I write these words These words pass my lips Fill the streets with Thanksgiving  A joy resounding Anteing The Page  How might there be a wager  When Nothing Remains? These are days Foretold  We're watching The Starry Night They say "Stay the same." What if we cannot? In what way will rebirth move? Where the faucet turns? Every word costs some Now it is counted elsewhere The beautiful place So I remain still Locked away the flashing lights Training when to move The Moment is now We have returned to its truth Refusing the lie

The flint carries spark Only for Bardic Armor Do we take this form   The small lights the big We arrange eternally From the middle out Campfire of Faith We proceed in this order Remembering WAIT I take Phoenix Form  Regaled with Phoenix Feathers And pass center stage  "That man's psychotic." ~ "Just collating data." ~ "You're a lunatic." Something's at the core No matter what, it's revealed Now it's making sense I am at the core  A double headed serpent  There must be a cross Intersection point So many places are done We have a spot left

Syncopated hearts We do not dismiss this truth We are connected When total is summed  It's Faith that must be preserved Every single beat Dream me a savant Like ye olde fiddle player Who can play the skies  This is our Rock Band These will be our Stepping Stones To Eternity The dream an invite I would like to think you took That we might connect Faith in the music Beautiful in the found notes Glory/Worship without bounds This is like the dream Though it plays out on this stage As if in real life I'm waiting for Faith We have tethers remaining Which should be addressed

Let the earth be glad (~Psalm 97:1) In the day The LORD has made To this very day Writing and reading Righteousness and justice are (~Psalm 97:2) Your throne's foundation Moving like lightning How far is the east from west? You know in moments My God is awesome I proclaim his righteousness (~Psalm 97:6) And highlight his deeds You said "you are gods" So it is right to worship You are LORD of Lords Zion rejoices  City ready to receive Holy citizens LORD, you guard my life Reconciling my time left As it fits your plan Your light shines on me I walk illuminated Ready to see steps

A process perceived To solve forever alone When the ending comes Made of wood and stone  And metals, all the idols Standing like a trove You may pick and choose What or who is alongside In the aftermath Singing a new song All the earth praising your Name As you have planned it Let the trees rejoice Let all in the fields give thanks The mountains worship  I will play my part Writing unto your good Name Whatever you give I am only small If my words have grand meaning It is by your strength The earth standing firm Heavens and sea resounding Before your judgement

Brought with thanksgiving I know your timing is good Though trying for me Lead me to pastures  Good with your loving kindness Where my heart's not hard On your mountain peaks I will find a place holy In your canyon lands  Rescue me in time For I am one of your sheep Lost on the hillside  Do not turn from me May we watch The Starry Night Nestled side by side We declare no oaths  Nothing we cannot take back Just watching the skies Underneath the trees Waiting on wonderful things Just outside your tent I yearn for your love I wait here in your comfort Moment by Moment

LORD, you take notice I still must remember this  You've chosen this path You've chosen these days With your eyes and with your ears You observe my steps You found a calm home I live out my days in peace Still filled with your love I still write to you All of my blessings remain With the trials gone Thank you for this lot Please relieve anxiety As a side effect Let me be glad here As you make your grand chess moves Above my pay grade You are my fortress Please stay my Rock of Refuge For all the days left Please hasten your plans I still find myself troubled  Though it does relent

Praise be to The LORD He is robed in majesty (~Psalm 93:1) Worthy of it all I was defeated Provided with one option And he rescued me Now I am secure In a dwelling for (six/some) months Freedom from worry Ordained long ago You see from eternity Making path secure Please do not stop, LORD I am in need of your hand To approve my funds Year of Jubilee It feels so far out of reach But not out of yours Will you come sooner?  Taking me off your waitlist In a grand display? Now I rest in you Resting easy in your grace Thankful for your gifts

God, I praise your name In words, rather than music May it still please you What your hands have done Exceeds all expectations Granting me freedom How great are your works   (~Psalm 92:5) Others do not understand All you've done for me Though there's wickedness It springs up like grass and fades  Leaving our two hearts A true sign of strength You have exalted my horn (~Psalm 92:10) And anointed me Planted like a palm Every Footfall Is By Fate I must remember  Flourishing with you Every page of your Word read That is the deal The LORD is upright (~Psalm 92:15) Every plan of yours is just Please make me worthy

I praise your goodness I will dwell in your shelter Which you have prepared My refuge, fortress  Let your peace rest on my home  Under your wings, LORD  I have been feeling The terror, arrow, and plague Protect me from these  So I may observe Your glorious coming, God  As your last lost sheep There's no disaster Provide me this peace of mind You are my refuge Foot not striking stone A divergent narrative In the last hours On what shall I tread? May love overtake this tale  And all worship you Show Your Salvation Magnificently Ancient  Gloriously New

To sing with Moses  This is a most lofty aim Still, LORD, I will try Your hand is with me Forgiving my foolishness And foolhardiness  I will hold out Hope  To meet in the place Foretold When it is season These days but a breath In your great understanding Perhaps either way Have compassion, God  May I begin to see grace Shining in your light Numbering my days I'd love a heart of wisdom (~Psalm 90:12) How long will it be? (~Psalm 90:13) I cherish our time I am glad for more of it Time to comb back through I will wait for you Know that my days feel longer Please do not delay

What more can I say? You abound in faithfulness From one book to next Your strength is supreme Your arm endowed with power The power to save I've seen some visions I believe you were with me Lighting a dark mind  You are my Savior How will you consider me On the day we meet? Love me forever Forgive whatever you can This is your nature The faithful witness  I wave hello to the moon Still like a child My Hope lies in you Please be my deliverance When the chips are down Praise be to The LORD (~Psalm 89:52) Return to the love of old  Amen and Amen   (~Psalm 89:52)

I cry out to you I feel like one who am dead Barely hanging on  Though I'm in the pit  I'm not cut off from your care  I am your servant  Do you reject me?  Are your songs all silent here?  I still hear a sound In place that's Foretold I will turn my ear to you For a miracle I've seen it before You willing to pick me up I was not ready Please, LORD, come again There is nothing tethering I hate my life here I love your rescue Please be my deliverance When I have no strength My Hope lies in you I am in need of your help Please assist me now 

Your city founded  I can picture the mountain Dwelling place of God The gates of Zion More beloved than other gates You are within them  Glorious city May the world sing your praise  And those realms beyond May I be counted Perhaps by adoption rights As one born within Citizen preserved The Most High establishing Forever Amen  In your book of life Please do not leave out my name  Despite all these days/my words When they make music "All my fountains are in you" (~Psalm 87:7) May it ring out true Most holy Zion I hope one day to walk you In true amazement

My Hope rests in you LORD, please speed the coming day I see no option These days tear at me Like a foe attacking me I cannot stand it Though you are gracious Granting a degree of rest When I need it most  Keep my mind sane, God  So I am not drawn Inside But remain ready With my bag in hand Tunic and belt on body Ready in a day You're slow to anger Abounding in faithfulness And always in love So find me in love A clear head on my shoulders No debts tethering My trust is in you From now on only you, LORD Let us meet up soon

I am under siege I know you forgive your clans Please show me mercy/kindness Yield a good harvest That these days might be prolonged For just long enough Support me again For I truly need you now Now just as ever Bring rest to today Provide work for tomorrow And a good judgement What else can I ask?  These things overtake my thoughts My mind wrestling You promise peace, LORD  And I am in need of peace With this storm looming  Please don't be angry I have been a foolish man But you can save me We can still do this Meeting at the place Foretold I just need some help

LORD, I trust in you How lovely is your dwelling (~Psalm 84:1) Found in all the earth My soul yearns for you How I long to see your tent In the place Foretold The birds have their nests I have been granted shelter Now grant me freedom Do not delay, God  For these days are so trying  For one such as me  Count me as one blessed Do not ignore my prayer Please, I ask of you Let your glory fall Beautifully and all around On The Starry Night  Move from strength to strength (~Psalm 84:7) May your glory be complete When I see it, LORD  Amplify blessings May the entire trip be Just as you've planned it

LORD, take possession  Of this heart you have made calm  As if in our tent Let enemies be Far off as if made nothing I will seek your Name You are The Most High As such I will worship you Halls filled with praising I've sought your answer Here among the silent crowd  Perhaps this is it Speak in parables  Speaking in things hidden from The start of the earth I cover my face For your glory is awesome I am not worthy I sit here waiting I'm listening for your voice This wait/weight crushing me  Still, you are my God My faithful deliverer Proven to be true

Luke 2:34-35 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,   so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

Rendering judgement God, you have said "You are gods" (~Psalm 82:6) What is the context?  Need there be context? "You will die like mere mortals" (~Psalm 82:7) And "I am God's Son" You turn to blessings All that's meant to be a curse Just by your presence That which was blessing You make abundantly so  By your good presence So I will listen In whichever place I am For your intention Here I wait for you Soon to be waiting elsewhere In place that's Foretold  I count on your grace I depend on your mercy I call you a friend  I ask of you, Lord When you're rendering judgement Please, to me, be kind

I have seen your strength With the melodious harp A song of honor I say "Hello moon!" To a moon currently full Soon becoming new In an unknown voice You have spoken, we've agreed We have an accord How I long for days When you spoke from thunderclouds And there was silence I have no other You have been my God from youth You know this is true I am listening I am humbled on the ground  Please speak to me, God  I am listening My ears open to the wind Please carry my cause Between you and I  I feel this season shifting Like ground underfoot

"The worst possible thing exists." "It must, and we must improve it with every breath. Experience is another matter. It is not the case that the worst possible thing must be experienced." "Define experience." "Experience is the tangibility of reality beyond the partition of existence. One's experience is shaping, whereas existence may simply be. Experience is what you feel, amidst what occurs." After an amount of silence.  "The best possible thing exists." "There is a War going on." "I had hardly realized, but feel it now." "You must kill me." "May we agree that the kid gets a chance, in whatever form that takes." "We are agreed. It is a gracious way to end this War." So, regardless, the kid finds a beautiful story unfolding before him. "Do you have anything else to add?" "No." So the parley is concluded.

Like a Shepherd, LORD  Pull me from the ninety nine Making me your one Your face shining here Ages gone by smoldering Your blessings abound  I am filled with tears Though you make them of gladness  Heart turning the tide  Like Vine of Jonah  I am glad for your glory And pray for your grace May it spread fully A Vine fully remembered For its shade and fruit Reach the place Foretold May the journey bring clear skies By River and Sea Insects arising  Bearing witness to the end And shape it might take I seek Salvation  Known by any other Name This is my prayer

Matthew 24:15-17 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.

What a cool concert! I was drawn there by/through a song Why not play along?  The black sticky notes Worked well with the highlighters Under the blacklights The sweatpants were cool Though I don't get their purpose Just a costume change?  I recall the line How I heard you say it moves Each member coming This felt like a sign Like you came to reassure Foretold is the place And why not meet up?  Chance encounters are God's jam Away from it all Oh, I liked your band +8 additional guys Singing and screaming It was all awesome Can't wait to see you again By dream or in life

I am afflicted  But my Hope still lies in you  And your Salvation Remember those times When glory shined like a key Turning into place I long for those times When I possessed certainty Of your Holy Name  The nations all ask  How long will you be angry? I wonder of you  Has your anger passed? Will I finally see your face In the place Foretold?  Just days before death  No one to bury the dead (~Psalm 79:3) Chilling prophecy  For now I will praise The God I feel all around Though still cannot see My hand on your skin No uncertainty remains The next phase begins 

Speak a parable You know I am listening Watching for the path  O God, I believe You are working miracles Even in this drought LORD, in this famine You know I have believed you Though it has been hard God, you are my Rock  I believe you hastened this  Rapture in your time Saving from Egypt Where my time is not my own My days pulled from you Please settle my heart That this is your Exodus You have plans for me I know that you can It's well within your Power And, it seems, your Will Awaken now, LORD Let delay pass in a blink In perfect timing

Thoughts on days gone by For me they are most painful  In this dry season Will they be returned As pleasant memories soon When I take my trip? Why remain in pain When all that remains is you? Weight will be lifted I can see it now Rejoicing in days gone by For you were/are with me Your ways are holy You, LORD, perform miracles I'm in need of one Please whisk me away When The Starry Night is here And I am in place I ask directly Though I recall "either way" And honor that choice You are perfect God  I know that your plan is good And you guide my hand

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

LORD, shall I fear you?  The fear of the loss of God At my very core  The nations fear you The land feared and was quiet (~Psalm 76:8) What sound might remain In the silence, praise In these days remaining, praise  For your goodness, praise When you rise to judge I know you will be on time  And your judgement just Your signs point to yes Please forgive my nervousness For Place that's Foretold We have camped before Yet I returned craving more So much more has bloomed A clockwork ticking Daughters grow like Tree of Life You are glorious Now it seems complete Is returning all you need To bring the new age?

God, your Name is near There is greatness in your Name I'll praise you for this You've chosen the time I must simply follow you Through this land of doubt Who will you exalt?  How will my words be judged, LORD? I seek your reply.  For my time feels short  Though only you know the day You know the hour Will you forgive me? Sorry for my haughtiness Not in my right mind I feel calmer now And wish I could take some back  But it's a deep sea Edit with mercy Overflowing graciousness And a bit of joy For I'll soon see you For this fact I am joyful And hope you are, too

A calamity I feel it even now LORD  Though it is calming Will you give your aid? In what way will you save me?  I seek your reply.  The place that's Foretold Will I go out of season?  Will you meet me there?  This season is rough All my days are misery  My heart set on you I will not mock you Though I face my Judgement Day  My Hope lies in you Please be merciful Generous with your grace, God  So I might see you In your Light's fullness I pray for deliverance But know "either way." Fill me with your trust And grant these weeks peace for me So I say Amen

It's great to see you!  The God of Her Own Domain Your presentation Sorry I can't help With keeping the whiteboard up Already broken And Hope in the art! My booklet was impressive Even to myself Missed you at the show Though you're fresh in memory I'll not forget you The Council's Daughter I did think to look for you But could not find you The same for my star It was like I could feel you Somewhere in the crowd This dream was unique To see multiples of you A sign, I believe Taken as a sign There are weeks left to dream more For Place that's Foretold 

I remembered you!  It seemed like such a low chance Dream nearly fallow The numbers worked wrong  As is typical for dreams But you were right there You've come so often  What's that say of this season?  Are you on your way?  There's little time left With so much uncertainty This I know {for sure} How I longed to ask "Would you like to spoon with me?" Sorry I didn't I was so caught up With getting that microwave To get working right You are so patient The narrative has cleared some  Perhaps we can now?  It is comforting When everything is failing Loved port in the storm

You know all my ways I will tell of all your deeds (~Psalm 73:28) In the place Foretold What might I say, LORD? This is all that I can bear And not much longer My time is all theirs My resources are scanty It's all I have left I am afflicted  Wicked counting for little When I have little I have a safe bed I have a timeline set out I still have your Word  Please set me apart Don't count me as fantasy In the final day For I have loved you As best as I know how, God  With what you gave me  Will it be peaceful?  With beauty beyond compare?  I seek your reply.

God, I don't think I can do it  Please make your plan clear  Before the time comes up I wait for your decision

I am afflicted  Please bring your prosperity I'm in dire need Anxiety looms Sorry to burden you here At end of Book II "By the next new moon Your pathway will be made clear Be still and relax." My praise for The LORD Who speaks through all his servants And provides pathways In these times of strife I remain focused on you Making burden light Please lighten my load It is all I can carry We could do much more "It's not the season But it swiftly approaches  Reclaiming pieces." Endure forever May my soul/path be blessed through you Amen and Amen (~Psalm 72:19)

You are my fortress Despite devastating blow  I will worship you Deliver me, LORD I am relying on you To pull me through this Do not cast me off  Prevent permanent damage Though I am weak, God  An enemy fights Identify the source, LORD  And fight against them Yet still I have Hope And I still have my soap box Despite this trial For this I give thanks And for my support system  Which you have returned  Your timing perfect Every step now is by fate Even in the storm  Though others harm me  I know you are guarding me Through thick and through thin

Hasten your work, LORD Do not delay in your plan For I am anxious Spirit unsettled For I do not know which way You now have in mind I long for your help Proclaiming "The LORD is great!" (~Psalm 70:4) With this phase over So conclude it LORD  Let me find deliverance Within your glory Keep in mind I caught You showed exactly on time I praise you for that There's just one more step Weighing heavily in mind Enough to paint Psalm Accept my prayer Make speedy your Salvation Quiet my loud mind Come quickly to me (~Psalm 70:5) You are my deliverer  Please, do not delay

A tale incomplete  Is this how it's always been? We must change the end Of love found on earth The mockers falling silent Their fuel all dried up Let us discover Goodness at the heart of man A heart not tainted  No gall in our food Truly it is far from them For our hearts are one Our wine overflowed A great party in Zion For the day is won Let me find joy here In protection of your tent Send your sure answer I will worship you I will glorify your Name  For all your goodness Thank you for blessings Every night I feel renewed This is by your hand

May The LORD arise Blowing enemies away Like smoke in the wind You've shaken the earth I know you'll do it again I wait for your sign Abundant showers (~Psalm 68:9) Your inheritance refreshed  The waters made new  The mountains made strong  I can sense the time coming You'll not uproot them  With strength of your throngs  I look upon you with awe You need not do more Holy procession  I find love in your glory Resting in your truth Summon your power Let me see you in fullness Dazzled by your touch Blend in blue with me Fading into night's comfort Letting the day fade

Amos 3:3-4 Do two walk together     unless they have agreed to do so? Does a lion roar in the thicket     when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den     when it has caught nothing? Amos 9:13  “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman     and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains     and flow from all the hills, This reminds me of The Bard's Clock, and the moment when one hand overtakes the other. It is a beautiful moment, for two walk together by agreement, but well out of the realm of logic for any observer.

I seek a blessing God make your face shine on me  A gracious blessing Make your ways known here On earth and to the nations Bring your Salvation I, for one, praise you I feel your hand in my tale  And want to take it Bring joy to your work Guide the nations of the earth (~Psalm 67:4) Rule with equity Bring peace to your rest So that all people praise you Knowing you are God  Earth yields its harvest I have felt your/my blessing shine Even this morning God bless me still more  Even as the earth fears you I will come in love  Moment by Moment  Drawn into eternity On wish and prayer
