Footprints


Of eld is told 
The story of a walker. 
A stealth walker 
Whose silent walk 
Dust never raised 
Leaf never rattled 
Life never trod 

Yet on these 
Historical rocky, 
Concrete sealed, 
Ironclad roads 
Traversed by the walker 
Two thousand summers past 
Proudly protrudes 
His embossed footprints 
Silent prints that echo 
The walker’s travail 

They tell of his sojourn 
From alien lands 
Far and beyond 
The grip of mortals’ 'maginations 

They tell of his pain

They tell of ………….  His empty tomb

They tell of his silent 
Thunderous stomping 
That engraved 
His footprints 
On these, 
Concrete 
Rocky 
Ironclad 
Stony 
Hearts. 

They tell of ............. my story

The Art Of War


War is an art
Won first in the heart
A performance to master
Cue taken from the ringmaster

Wielding the blade of surrender
Braced to slay the contender
Armored with humility
To thwart the foes's hostility

To win this war
Your foes fearlessly gore
With kindness battered
Till friendship is hammered

In this art of war
Be the mighty Thor
Masterfully brandish your sword
All your enemies floored

Love


Slender and curved 
Beautiful smile and glare 
Classic wear and smear 
Gracious glide and stride 
Admirable and amiable 
Beautiful! Lovely 

Tall dark and handsome 
Muscular and agile 
Designer suits and scent 
Owner of latest toys 
Stashed accounts 
Handsome, lovable

Time


Tick tock, Tick tock 
Persistently proceeds, 
The chime of time 
The precious of all, 
Earthly commodities 

Tick tock, Tick tock 
Today smiling optimistic toddler 
Tomorrow wailing nostalgic older 
For time is a revealer, 
Of wasted time

Your Guitar


Lord reach out and take,
Your guitar
Your stringed instrument in me,
From eternity fashioned
Play me like a guitar,
The melody of your eternal orchestra

The strings of my will tuned,
To follow the rhythm of your song
Let the nations wiggle,
At your song may the tribes jiggle
Play me like a guitar,
The melody of your eternal orchestra

God

You command Reverence
Of Sages in all ages

Your ways inspire adoration
Yet Scorners at you sneer

Peers at me jeer,
But I, in you trust.

Freed


Lust dangled her attractive tentacles
Passion got lured, he became lust
He who walked on sacred grounds
Became enslaved  in the dungeons
Hungry as hell, passion is now lust

Moses and the Call


Moses..
A man of God,
Once moved with a flaming zeal to pursue God's will and calling,
A man ready to bury for the sake of the call
A man ready to act prematurely out of anger,
.....a man zealous for God.

40 years later...
Under the scorching desert sun, all hopes gone,
all fancy desires of being in command gone,
the zeal that once stirred him faded into oblivion,
Simplicity and no future are now the new norm,
The man no longer has the fire of youth to pursue and be all that he thought he would be,

The Sense of Wonder

Wonder is the awe we hold when our minds get a glimpse of who God is...It is the " Depart from me Lord for I am a sinner", yet we desperately long for His presence.

It is the "I am of unclean lips" yet we are eager to say, send me Lord.

It is the "Oh am but a child" Yet we discover that God has put a deposit in our hearts big enough to make us stand before Kings...

God is amazingly wonderful
