Rumors abound: of a sinful father,Or did she truly give birth without seed?You thus revealed to us by the water The truth of this most miraculous deed. Moving to completion, the Cross in sight,To make whole the cosmos, death trampled down.Prepared to endure all lashing and spiteBy double-birth for the world to renown. May weContinue reading “Festal Views”

Of Macarius
Embracing hard desert sand,Where his eyes did see great truth;Of the first end for this land—Lost by error of our youth. Although man did stray, in Faith did he pray.The Lord he did not eschewDespite the loss of his love;His pain to reveal a clueAbout grand plans from above. Divine kept at bay, in FaithContinue reading “Of Macarius”
Afloat
Seeking among the sand: a proper stonethat might resist how gravity alwaysensures that downward pull. A smooth touch says,‘How about me?’ So fingers dig—unknownif appearance be but illusion shown.The rock reveals itself to thrower’s gaze,and then—if found worthy—in the hand staysas young lad finds waters calm, little known. The key to balance being in theContinue reading “Afloat”
Hypocrisy
The moralist stands tall and ever stern In hopes that he reveal, in all our fun,Some truths and rights to which we all must turn –Despite the spirit held in what was done. Such hearts of men were settled on delight:A playful mood, not meant for debating“insights” – at least the kind to give aContinue reading “Hypocrisy”
Bequeathed
I’ve heard complaints: why petty Creator would sic a father’s penalty upon the son; penance for the agitatorbut never due to parent’s belov’d spawn. Yet blind to volition is this protest – choices to make imbibed from choices made; the son’s own will drawn from father’s compressed.Elder’s conveyed dictates fledging’s inlaid. My boy, imperfect IContinue reading “Bequeathed”
A Call to Remember
Oh Be’uty, ever mysterious Muse!With each passing day, do You fade away;In thinking to use, did we so abuseAll the wisdom You have tried to convey? As the pride of mankind evermore swelled,An errant view of You did we abide;But if we release this prejudice held,Perhaps again You may be a sure guide? But isContinue reading “A Call to Remember”
Unknowns
There the mysteries lie waiting:In science of a cosmic whole,Numerous ideas, creatingAnswers for an erratic soul. In science of a cosmic whole,The Void threatens with her gallows;Answers for an erratic soulRequiring thought not so shallow. The Void threatens with her gallows –Numerous ideas, creating –Requiring thought not so shallow:There the mysteries lie waiting.
Sights and Sounds
Despite being spoken all ’round the world, ‘Tis filled with sounds hardly matching letter – This makes our minds to feel that all is whirled And desirous of a language better. I heard of an aged man who fell in love – Then by a lake with a tiny, warm cove – He claimed, later,Continue reading “Sights and Sounds”
His Place
Sitting serene, the lounge of mother’s arm –Knowing, now, nothing of another place –A love irreplaceable as his charm. Basked in attention, withstanding her smarmBy staying ever close to sleep’s embrace:Sitting serene, the lounge of mother’s arm. Each new concern will his presence disarm.Looking upon him, every threat we outpace;A love irreplaceable as his charm.Continue reading “His Place”
Paternal Guidance
By my own power, I hope to flowerA life forg’d in the manner of true faith; Into the desert, no rain or shower,Ready to combat all demon and wraith. Hot sand trod upon, as I run along,Seeking all powers of Satan’s legion.Yet the mere sound of solitude does throng:Only my lonesome soul in this region.Continue reading “Paternal Guidance”
