That Day
When elves play
as work is done
and Joy,
just begun.
The sleigh is washed
and shines
with polish and spit
for with it
the world did shrink
and if you blink
the loss is yours
for speed is light
and time is fleeing.
Another year will come
to find
growth of Love
in tiny minds
for He who guides
the stars by night
still lives
in stories made
of miracles and light
where Truth and Grace
became
flesh and breath
to warm our hearts
and save the day.

Ornaments of Grace
They move with precisionless
ease
on the Tree of Christmas
called Church,
in colors demure
to ornate
adding sparkle and glitter
to the tinsel of season.
They are we
who decorate
the tree of life
as Christ
on a treed cross
produced Grace
hung with ornaments
of suffering.

The Yoke
Before the fall
was before all
the grittiness
and shackles
of humanity
where bodies
of death and deceit
wait in splendid
adoration
for the restoring of Adam. .

_______________
Universal Bethlehem
Star of Bethlehem
creations architect
creations child
shook the planet
with meekness
and humility
confounding our world
with simplicity
of grace and pardon
from infant to savior,
one giant step
across the universe
to man.

Jerusalem Sunset
Dusk ignites
shadow and light
of Jerusalem night
where truth flees
before darkness leaves
evil and deeds
in the heart
of man.

The Wisdom
(of forbidden fruit)
Satans answer
to all creation
is the wisdom
of our world.
Authored
in beauty and light
reflecting his rebellion
and succulent message
to abandon the path
and follow a piping
that leads
to eternal destruction.

Children and the
Kingdom
The Kingdom of God
was made for children.
We all are those
who enter through
the childs gate.
Once in, we become
a fountain of life
pouring out
the trusting nature
of a new beginning
with all the innocence
of childhood.
Children of God,
offspring of he
who pasted the stars
in nighttime darkness
and colored our sky
with the eagles wing.

Peace
(The Dream)
A liberal concept
from human wisdom
where
good and evil
live harmoniously
in the family of man.
And real Peace
will come
to reign
a thousand years
when all evildoers
fly to the Lake of Fire.

Christianity
(THE narrow WAY)
Defined by G-ds Word
on the Cross.
Not church
nor entity
or man
has leave
to corrupt scripture
by self appointment.
All stand as stewards
responsible
to the Spirit
who alone seals believers
for Redemption
by his inward presence
at Faith and Profession
of Jesus as L-rd,
Savior
Intercessor alone
between man
and G-d the Father.
To him, Glory.

GRIEF
(AND A NEW DAY)
GRIEF DEPARTS
ON WINGS OF MEMORY
AS A NEW DAY
FILLS THE HEART
WITH HOPE AND FOCUS
OF A NEW BEGINNING
SHARED WITH IMAGES
OF PAST LOVE.
HORIZONS BRING
THE MARCH
OF NEW VISION,
FOR G-DS POWER
CREATES LIFE
IN EACH NEW DAY
AND LAYS MEMORIES
TO REST
IN THE STRENGTH
OF HIS SAVIOR SON.

Prophecy 101
We stand poised
by the portal
where time
and limitation
end,
prepared to meet
the boundless concept
of higher power.
Im.com.pre.hen.si.ble
to mortal flesh,
we shall change
in a #######
of His minds eye,
billions of bodies
in new flesh
living by the blood
shed for us
never again
to be spilled
as sacrifice
for the worlds woe.

Davids Star
(with heart)
Only antiquity and pain attend
birthing of this star.
Worn in centuries past,
degrading Jews,
comes full circle
to nations symbol,
Pride
and ever present
Star of Bethlehem.
As David, so Israel
after G-ds own heart
by light revealed
seeking:
Righteousness
Favor
G-ds love
Eternal life
THE LIGHT
taken from their eyes.

Birth and Grace
Conceptions miracle
creates life
where none exists.
Salvations miracle
wraps old hearts
in Grace
and new life is born,
eternal life,
a source of power
and creativity
beyond human concept,
for we all bear
sins mark,
branded by birth
with a failed future,
lifted by Grace
to the Heavenlies.

Seven Stars
Lit the Columbia blue
of Texas skies
and flashed Heavenward
to eternity
bearing souls
and heroes
with the memory
of families left behind.
Soaring eagles
on the six point
Star of David.
