Heart Will Free
The man sits there, on earth
at the gate, terra cotta skin
deep eyes half open, half closed
you'd swear he sleepeth
wrapped autumnal-coloured
blanket
sandals on feet
watching nothing, seeing all
he as old as the hills
young as morning dew
moves not, blinks barely
pine green knit cap covers his head
he comes from nowhere
going no place
yet Time stands still
in his presence
his lunar solemnity embraces
yet, not too close
as solarized passion seethes
from every pore
he raises earthen hand
not old not young, old
Wisdom beckoning
any who'd dare approach
stallionspeed winds
whip and tear
hurricainic sands cut
no light no dark just NOW
Disciple's skin lay silken ribbons
bones but dust, eyes naught
hair but dandelion puffs floating
only one thing left
heart parched, laid bare, open on the
dusty ground, macabre
four-chambered cacophony
deranged bagpipe
then heart wrapped
cloudine sheets
soaked honeywine milkiness
waterfall blessing
loveness notes sing
heart knowing Source
loose binding cords
of Should
true home Source
freedom stability
not salty doctrine
but heart will free
beating to Moment's
cadence Creation
knowing salvation blessing
to Self be true

Love's Prayer Bliss
capture moment
you exist Christ
spirit soars eagleness
pentecostal exuberance
goldwhite essence shineth
flowing gentle breeze caress
saints high and low
praise
selves remain, transfiguring waltz
diamondine radiance
no sun moon
Lux Christi
Trinity's Persons
one deferring other, always loving
three yet
One God eternally Personal
royal blue embrace
fillest Divine
never same
Eden's blooms bursting
rough-and-tuble browngreen earth
Kingdom of fools and misfits
feet planted firmly
Cross too
highways byways
desert a city
emptyhollow
fill love's prayer's bliss
