God’s child

 father, 

in me, is a fighter, 

of the sharpest wrath,


against they who 

incite my unproblematic mouth 

to dangerous dialogue…


…yet on this lonely January night, 

A new year 

of  bad & noble probabilities alike, 


I am asking you :

Do not abandon me to the righteousness

of my legitimate anger, 


Release me, your child.

from the folly of an indignant tongue.

and in prayer, receive , please my hottest lamentations.


(and let me rest finally from this insatiable rage)


and let no one, 

Not even enemies of worst transgressions,

suffer the vengeance of my unbecoming tongue…


And yet, oh God! 

let me never coddle the quiet of cowards 

teach me instead, how to speak, 


So the target of my words 

may absorb the essence of it all, 

And wether they repent or not, whatever they do! 


Oh God!

may I cheerfully abdicate  that uncertainty 

to your loving WILL… 


Amen

an ode to dead souls (II) ~ celestial orphans


 you see, 

 the world is in a monologue,

 talking only to itself,


 seeking creation, 

 probing nature, 

 Rattling the elements, 


hoarding Yahweh’s blessings.

on that proverbial table,

we fatten the diet of our senses.  

  

we, genius skeletons,

preaching God’s irrelevance

with boastful tongues, 


 the world is not looking for Him,

 A new year only resuscitates the

 the body’s dying vigour, 


I wish us, profound awareness of 

coffins, tears & final extinction?   

…we’re celestial orphans in a lonely galaxy.   


There exists a divide 

broken only by that Nazarene, 

To not pursue him,


 is to immerse the soul in sleep,

 a cosmic neglect of a beautiful God 

 to  blissfully die  into the irreversible… 


and in death, 

to forever reside there in that terrible unknown, 

alienated from a loving God.
