When in sunset rounding corner
on the path mundane methinks
wandering, aimless feets, downtrodden...
Sunset FIRE!
and labours shrink--
For in morning sunrise captures,
And at midday's steady-sober'd heat,...
Falling into light descending
till the sundown feasts on me...
and steadies all this grief.
FIRE burns dross from me...
Lake of fire and heat
is never, ever for me...
and sunset's lake I boast in Salvation's
serenity. ...accept the things I cannot change... and wisdom knows...
here and now, at sunset fire, I find some peace.

still
Going Places--
Sometimes motors revving,
At times the idle jiggles will--
And flooring pedal to the metal
Keeps from too long standing still--
And when within the traffic jam
You're forced to stop and rest
Not waste your time a-fretting,
Perhaps the stillness is truly best...
Your stillness will be blessed.

A girl was talking on her phone
A boy was running to the stone
A man would not leave me alone
As I was in the garden
The geese were walking, then floating by
The willow weeping ‘gainst the sky
The water, gone blossoms just seemed to cry
As I was alone was scared
Remember now
That You were there…

Neglected, worn
Tattered, torn…
Forgotten by others,
Cast off the scorn.
Believing, but bundled--
The heart, cold, like ice,
As wintertime promise
Thaws warmth through this vice.
The stars in the sky
Produce such a glow,
The sun in the day
Gleams steady and slow
On windows so dusty,
Some broken and cracked,
The sun shining on,
Their dullness intact.
But walk through the doorway,
Then, look up to see
A lovely impression:
Christ’s light-- bright to see
Shining through these,
Though neglected and torn...
To be on the outside
Like inside—
And shine more!…
