The Way
is the way
of truth and light.
May I know The Truth
when I hear it ring. May I see
thy Holy Light right in front of my face.
May I make a righteous choice
at every curious crossroad.
May I choose the road
chosen by someone
smarter than me
by God!

How does the Holy Spirit feel to our 5 bodily senses
when it co-mingles with our human spirit?
Our hearts are heavy – there is much suffering
we feel the pressure of unseen gravitational forces
bearing down on us – pushing us against the solid earth.
When the Holy Spirit invades
one’s physical and mental presence,
one begins to think one must be levitating.
The weight of doubt is so heavy…
and one doesn’t even know how heavy,
until one feels the weight drop in an instant.

Creation begets human consciousness daily.
Consciousness gives birth to Desire endlessly.
Desire transcends illusion momentarily.
*
Here is a sight we seldom see:
union in tragedy.
Lights from the heart light up the dark,
showing the way to be.
*
Love is a force that opens eyes.
To those who’d blacken skies:
Feel from the heart before you start
to sever all the ties.
*
Remember, sisters and brothers,
hate and anger smothers.
Beneath the ruins of mankind
Love’s flame will lead the blind.

I went on this path one day – off the straight and narrow way
looking to find the unknown – unafraid to be alone
a skip in my stride – my smile a mile wide
passion perspiring inside.
.
Suddenly! There’s a shadow – beside my own.
“It can’t be so!” No one came with me, I know.
Nobody else wished to go.
Who could it be then? How shall I begin?
Where did it happen and when?
.
I’ll tell you a secret now – that only you can allow.
Stick with me for one moment – maybe you’ll find atonement.
Do you not have the time? It won’t cost a dime.
(Don’t be scared. It’s just a rhyme.)
.
Okay? Now, back to the trail…
not knowing that I could fail – sensing a treasure ahead
I take a left turn instead.
And to my surprise – right before my eyes
this other shadow complies.
.
I look – but no one is there!
With reason, I must compare…
Judging it, I do declare, “It’s not my own!”, but I swear,
it stayed right with me. I giggled with glee!
(Quite strange, you might agree.)
.
And so, I strode on through the wood
wond’ring if two shadows could
converge as one, if the light
from the sun was angled right.
.
I stopped in my tracks, and checked out the facts:
← Three as One →
Sun on our backs!

Guardian Shadow appear! Assurance is always near.
Tho’ crossroads never seem clear,
Directions tell me not to fear.
Whichever I choose, I know I can’t lose.
He’s already paid my dues!

For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
1 John 5:7
~ Putting music to words, and words to pictures ~
I’ve been framed, by God! I have my own heavenly place.
I’ve been arranged! How odd – this life within His outer space.
And yet, He lives within me, too!
He who knows me through and through.
The One who makes all things new,
deserves my praise for all my days.
In gratitude for His loving kindness,
I framed a song of thanks.
* * * *
Thank you, Lord! Oh, thank you much!
~ I surely feel your loving touch ~
[ Square me in – Frame my mind ]
<- Set me free from time to time ->
✟
Keep me hanging by a thread,
like a thought inside your head.
Imagine me as I was made
in your image where I’m saved
forever!

“And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,
and put it on his head,
and they put on him a purple robe.”
John 19:2

What does it
mean to be
a Christian
when the God you know and love
takes a child you know and love?
When He takes
your child
your baby
your most
beloved
belonging?

It means
your child
your baby
— made it to Heaven before you did —
It means – this moment – this second
your child
your baby
rests in the arms
of our Lord

The infant of infinity will forget that Time was,
but your child will always remember you!
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.”

She loves me like no other,
never thought I’d feel this way.
She sees me as her lover,
I have seen the light of day.
*
Nothing she can do to ever turn my heart away.
Messages comes through that tell me this is where I’ll stay.
In her arms I find myself not knowing what to say,
‘cuz in her eyes I see how she breathes life into the clay.
*
She loves me like no other,
never thought I’d feel this way.
I’ll always be her lover.
Here together! Come what may –
*
Everything she does for me, I feel it deep inside.
My soul lies bare, she sees it all – no where to run and hide.
The longing I once had is gone – my sorrows took a ride.
She parts the clouds – the sun comes out – I’ll take her for my bride!
*
She loves me like no other,
never thought I’d feel this way.
From now until forever,
in my heart – she’ll always stay!
*
?
If the future is set in stone,
and my life is but an old short story,
chiseled into the Rock of Ages;
firmly cemented in the depths of Time,
then who am I that verily treads
upon this spinning earth?
Who is that me?
Who is it that quickens with each and every step?
Who is it that strides beside the fiery shadow of Death?
Who am I that giveth life to this age-old story?
The story – like a road as it layeth down before me.
