ima xalav

purpose of day
drained down then
surrounded by tiny
toes and fingers found
finding

stretching
to allow flow
back into known
given and regarded
our own sown

wake of day
babies thrice
in the womb
then left the loom
well wove

holding to
hope heavily
hedged, wedged,
in the garden
of grateful

Tov

Of a happenstance
Fortuity loops
Through stoops
On lifts up
And makes:

Lines cross
Edges drag
Boil foils
Settling

Bursting steam melts the surface burning delicate tissue

Leaves rake
Windy gusts
To force the air
Toward sound

Round and round swirling thoughts like hawks that pressure issue

Year end
Ending round
Delicate sense
Asunder

Focus found whispered down to dawn at day's soft bliss blue

Time of Recovery

vapors remain despite
sustained anchors evincing
convincing of construct
and yet quite confined

placate placate
wake of day drama
to make the heart trauma
sheltered and hidden

and just like that
ending, sending of packing
tracking pine needles
strewn in the hay

what wake of day trauma
reverted to drama
enacts the servants
compass true will

The Holding

Not thought
Thinking caught
Gravitating erasing

Supercedes
Wake of day
Culminating facing

Naught to find
Naught to hide
Naught to talk
Quickly

All is well
As with sell
Closure completes
Sickly

Some may seek
Of the creek
Slowly passing
Waters

Find the dam
Stops the slam
Of evident algae
Alters

Growth of green
As is seen
Comes from solemn
Retriever

Makes the day
Of passed away
Ever heavy
And sweeter

Falter

Lightning flashes
Courses quick
Like the sun
Undone
Unbound unblinded
Takes hold and presses on
The arrival of wisdom

Tunneling through
Convalescence concedes to
The healing stand
As clarity wipes away fog

There is no source known
Save His own
Hanging on that tree
Conveyance quickening
The salvation
To any
That receive

Transition

Lock memory sensory fade
Ignited by Holy transmission
Motor floats the day away
Exacting piston acrostic

Here hides the solace
Of grace looming
Perniciously bound till
Evident release

Waking traces
Of evil day dwellers
Never encounter
The Healed

Health is sought
On sacred ground
Lasting beyond
Day's duration

Trial

Dismay of day
Hedges on
Point of order
Foiled

Faltered course
Creasing crest
Less than
Ever heavy

Hope explodes
Hinges on
Heightened hand
Of levity

To place the day
In strict reform
And facilitate
Brevity

October Of

Saw autumn turn
Dark windows and slanted reds
Poured golds in the greens
Of Rock Creek but reminded me
Of windows of Mantua
Dark Bangs and many
Ages ago

Blue oceans riding
Hiding sanctity
And lack thereof
Of pinnacle missed
And attained
And forgotten
And found

SURE

Husband's smile on the face
Of infant sown display of grace
Marked return the path now trod
Everyday hand of GOD

Simple acts evidence true
Affecting thoughts returning to
Family needs that never fade
Even in the slice of blade

Help does come from the Body
Of Christ to slough the lepers hotly
Marked disgrace and heal the ill
Ever about the seeker's will

Always with Jehovah Jireh, never without

Thank you Father

Land of the Free Home of the Brave

darkness scattered edges round
husk of corn turning brown
lightness fades from force of day
that hinders on the luck of play

here is holding hiding fast
the edges round the darkest glass
and open ended future folds
culminates in wisps of hold

of demons hands that grasp to choke
the askers heart of bloated broke
the list of trophies satan waves
still too short to scare the Brave

Because He Warns

El Shaddai

(GOD Almighty)

Genesis 17:1-3

Satan means "the accuser"
who did his best to accuse Abram.

The battlefield of mind

Alights in the wildfires of glow.

The throne still belongs to HIS own.

We are known by our fruits,
and defined.

Wiped

Fire fire burning bright
Start again until its right
The Lord will wipe
The lacking green
To Awe His Power
Fierce and mean

Verdant wealth
Heaped with lies
Sudden flash
Succumbs and tries
To escape the ash
Of gray

Wake of day
Reveals the storm
That overnight
Took the form
Of devastation

Acres lost
And many more
Will feel the wrath
God has in store
For the wicked

Consider plead
In midst of day
To find the grace
Still at bay
And be hidden

"But he that glorieth,
let him glory in the LORD."
2 Corinthians 10:17

Caution

Severity of Hell
Often overlooked
Cooked thru cinged
Flame consumed
The bourne of summer

Triangle takes
Breaks down
Implodes
To augment
Flaw of form

Tragic habit
Forms a shell
Exterior force
Compel repel
Sheltered well

Water deep
Drenches down
Forces growth
On wilted crown
Encapsulates

Not too late
The Grace
Of spring
That sings
Soft Green

Moment comes
To those at due
Who failed
To seek
The LORD

And swoon
Above
The precipice
And behold
The Lake of Fire

Acts 10:38

Point of Worship

frugality intercedes;
sown seeds of discernment
at oncoming traffic
and peril at bay;
what to placate day
anesthetized for night
that rips through
the courses
of conscious

what lies beneath
the surface pale
grayed and weathered
gathered dust
circling path
familiar trail
red brown dirt
aged on rust;
of a vision

peeled back layers
shells of skin
onion thin that snap
to loose
then
crumble from
a lack of strength
thats pivots on
day of truce

there at bay
horror coils
subtle slide
that wraps a noose
anchors into
pneuma bound
and shreds
the weak
who cannot loose

Psalm 44
repairs, strengthens,
and prepares for battle

"For our GOD is a consuming fire." He. 12:29

Xylem

vessel of eventual
faith takes
carries out
hydrates:

spinning listening
motion heightened
watching lightning
crashing crown

pause for thought
as more are whisked
through the veil
one way round

xenia noted
perpendicular ground
grains that grate
till all fall down

blood mediator

Access
Code of dechipering
Elijah, Jeremiah, and the others
By faith
Thy will be done
Hebrews 11:33-35
Trust does not equal felt
Authority necessitates
Loss of self
Acid test
Of Obedience
Hebrews 12:24-29

middle ground

search of source
shaking sanity
to open valves of blood flow
black and white waddling
into red explosion
pumping through
the courses
of not dead

spots on the tempest
of canvas
splays, adds the dredging
of days dwindling, with
every breath departing
closer homeward
ever grateful
one's own bed

to the rest
there is nearly
every color
lends a light
never weary
infinite solving
points a pinhole
through black night

Saturday, August 1, 2009

well

Viable promptings
Soft edges
Brushstrokes smoothed
Feathering the hedges
Of trust

There, in settles the day
That beckons comfort
From convalescence
And sense-making becomes
Of primary importance

What to anchor that
That then harbors loss
To toss out the unnecessary
For highlight
Of needed

to my pretties

jittery soporific paintballs that chatter
so spins the feed of facebook
canceled out
halted now
waiting for
the challenge

soft spored
open doored
unhampered
unconvicted

grain grain
fine sand
hands the land
to the many

soft pearl
spoken swirl
vanity
unlamented

here holds
closes on
sharpens
skills
aplenty

fine line
single spine
covering
caps the call

Drilling

Tranquility requested
Vested interest in
Seemingly unrelated details
The apparel propels
Dwells deep in the sky
And climbs toward the stature
Of listening

Gleanings from
As taken upon
Man's proposal
Of solution

Out pours the source
Of the unbridled hope
Of carefully cultivated
Understanding

Battling anger
Vacant promptings
Imaginings wary
Open harm

So spins the shifting
Locus focused
Toward the course
Of the option
In the force of
Honing home

"One too many mornings"

"Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better than
The profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold."

Proverbs 3:13-14

The path to wisdom
is circuitous, unbroken,
and long.

"Do not fear,
let your hands be strong."
Zech. 8:13

apology

vanity shames
sensitivity interferes
abrasiveness bruises
and the world looks on

backpedaled correctness
ensuing subterfuge
that hides motivation
abated

matrix prepared
ground down
sanded fine
waiting for the prompting
of conviction

of the words

5-24 ages of the norm hit with

20 cases dead as yet

Exodus 15:25-26

I will call upon the LORD,
Who is worthy to be praised.
So shall I be saved from thine (swine) enemies.
The LORD liveth and blessed be my rock
And let the GOD of my Salvation be exalted!

importance of balance

Cortex of man in brain
Cortex of plant in roots

The impact on each organism
and corresponding consequence
The power of each to each
and resulting impartation

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" Luke 7:25-27

Of a Sabbath; Saturday

"Then Gideon built an altar
there unto the LORD,
and called it Jehovahshalom
[the LORD is Peace]:
unto this day it is yet
Ophrah of the Abiezrites."

Judges 6:24

JEHOVAH- REPHEKA
The LORD is Healer

JEHOVAH- TSIDQENU
The LORD is our Righteousness

JEHOVAH- ELOHIM
The LORD is GOD

why strive

Beautiful the woven structure
of millet stalk's green face
similar to corn and yet
with slender elegant trace

Hidden behind the blackberry briar
stretched high to reach the sun
quietly gracious, patient, kind,
steadfast when day is done

Half inch inchworm lands on my leg
I lift him with my pencil
with suctioned end he propels in air
to search for surface to stencil

I stretch him toward the blackberry leaf
and he happily jumps and climbs on
and starts the chomping pattern in
the glory of the sun

I tender pull up millet plant
and dig a hole near feet
and place him in an open spot
for the gleaners who come to eat

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver"

Intercession in form of
context + line/color
= plastic comparison of evident truth:
magnification of present need toward
hunger of purpose lost

Can form penetrate
abstract associations
to be recollective
and not didactic?

Seed bouncing off wall
hits tosser in the head.
Seed thrown in grassy field
finds nest to sprout and grow.

re: purity, soundness,
construction of ground
before figure of growth
introduced

How to coax order and beauty
out of gray chaos?

Circumstances Observed

Force of forward mobile man
As he exercises his plight:
Cult of personality that
Then hungers to dwell under light

Source of theme
comes quickly to
divert from quake
of day
and settles on
a branch at hand
as the cardinal
in May

Those that eager hungry hunt
may slurp up seed on shore
dropped upon restless sand
wave wiped forevermore

Those that silent sit
and watch, the seed hid
in the dunes
that burrows down
when wind warp whips
to chase away the bloom

Those that vacant stately stare
a dry seed blinking open air
burnt by flare of solar reign
poses in the righteous feign

Then those that forward
thrust their place
like the pistil popped
from stamen's grace
and outward swim
toward the foaming crest
to wrestle as Jacob
at the LORD's behest

Connectivity of Botany

" First occurence of theme take heed" Ellen Blackwell

The thread that trails from thought to thought
Discipline toward discerning need
To produce the seed
That action wrought

"Focus on the Sovereignty of GOD
not the will of man" Charles Stanley

The immediate need
takes sprout
and permissiveness
begins to grow
to fill the soul
of hunger spout
from eager reach
of breach we sow
and inward ask
the cure of woe
to dissolve the doubt
that man would grow

On top of line comes storm

out of vacuum, absence comes
then
out of action, accumulates paint
and line by line
and shape by shape
image reveals itself from wait
tandem handed action
of thoughts and repetition

noontime thunderstorm reveals
power of the LORD
to heal
parched pale dust
and forces
water laden air that feels
the reelings of
HIS Conviction

Purity

Impurity of destruction

Production of mind

That thwarts the

Pilgrims Progress


The hollow soul

lacks the fact

of TRUTH

and quickly

bursts

to heal


white ground wood

untouched by line

or color, shape,

or spot; toward

light found good

and wholesome

HOLY

ready for

impartation

Solvency

Who is solvent during
Blurring of line?
Confined amidst
Between right and wrong; lacking
Discerning
Truth from error=

What are the elements
of the composition?

The world page
The Citrus Tree
The falling away
The state of gray
The option out
The froward need
The hunger spout
The forward greed
The meeting ground
The eager seed
The open soil
The mounting bleed

Can come from color
rescue?

Failure of Nerve

Vigilant Diligence


How to draw

Watch and be ready

Broad outlines and signs

To look

Very nearness of it

Abounding in the work

Of the LORD

Commitment to the Mission

The Great Commission

The wielding of Soul


I had laid aside Truth

I had forgotten the intervention

Of GOD'S WORD

And HIS Ability to

Deliver me

After the First Mark

What is the appropriate matrix for functionality?
Is a line read the same on translucent paper as wood?
Do the negative shapes carry as much weight and importance as the positive shapes?
Interjected form pitted against inadvertent form ?
Not the big completed show, but the daily details, not disregarding the equivalence of obedience and faith, as a daily walk is necessary.
Prayers for Monday morning grace and strength.

Friday, June 26, 2009

Begin with line

Views from kitchen windows spring
Early morning ruminations
Separating scenes of tender green
References of the known

The time ticks quick then slow
No ordered metered pattern mine
I begin again to note the day
Note the importance of line
