Haven

Tiny pockets of breath

Folded into droplets of day

Break the dryness of mind

From sinking

As I think about cause

Pause to reflect

The light from the Son's

Great place

A forest aglow

A snowfallen hush

Reminding a breather

Of nothing to rush

clarity

vision strengthened

proper sure

waiting in the time endure

open flood of wrath to see

watch and wait

is His decree

place a foot

on solid ground

watch as all

will tumble down

focused on the lavish

trace

that He may erase

of His good grace

many perilious days shall come

many deviant people run

many wail at the coming horror

as unleashed the fury

His Holy Power

Way

Crossing Sideling Hill

I fixed my thoughts

On the sidereal and recalled

Days of promise and truth

When the swelling started

I cannot recall

Or why the vision

Stopped shrinking

Room to consume

The evident thaw

By the heat of the stars

Sure thinking

In night fades

Of optimal quiet

The doors of perception

Are open

In variant slices

Of sentient convey

The ways to the others

Are chosen

Circuits of light

Like fields on fire

Desire the wrapping

Of matter

And after the glory

Infuses the holy

The former will alight

As the latter

Rain flames down

On waiting want

To burst souls

On Jacob's ladder

reminisce

forty blooms ago

when the woods bled waves of pine scent over every thought

I didn't know

time was still

heavy as I trembled

under the touch

of God's spirit;

I remember

showers of gold

and the smell

of presence keeping me

safe and quietly soaking

wonder of green

now I lapse

into momentary recall

so barely similar

and patinated

with ache and age

under weight and dross;

lacking factions culminate

to perturb the recollections'

purity

perhaps clouding is necessary

to prevent the clarity of

lost

straighten

" In your patience possess ye your souls." Luke 21:19

Therefore be diligent to be found seeking.

Let not the world coerce.

Let not the lips speak falsely.

Be not perceived perverse.

In all things discern wisdom.

In all things lightly trod.

In all things seek His counsel.

In all things magnify God.

purge

it is a difficult task

to renounce the flesh

that must still be occupied

bits of gravel

collected

between the stones

of gold

adhere

but must be cleared

for polishing

of understanding

"Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." Psalms 70:4

humbled

eventide actuate

forces form outline

heavy threads accelerate

critical mass mine

substance suffers battering

from the world's unworthy hands

so I inclined to God for glory

to heal the sickened lands

and He inclined to me

"And he answered,

Fear not: for they that be

with us are more than

they that be with them."

II Kings 6:16
