Stars illumine the day-to-night, night-to-day transition.
Lighting up nooks of land and the skies as part of mission.
To console the cores of the barren hearts of humans
Mary consented to bring you forth the prism of grace fusions.
As foretold from the fathomless depths of serene sages
As sung by quills of ages, you would rewrite history's pages.
In the tiny town of Bethlehem, you would start your life.
Between good and evil, shouldn't you end the endless strife?

No eyes could see dominions of rainbows filling the skies.
Stars flew, floated, and fluttered around in numb-filled surprise.
Did anyone see the skies blossom and a child appear?
He rested between Joseph and Mary with charm and cheer.
On rough racks, they dwelt, as there was no place in human hearts.
Cows, bulls, and sheep stood as though forgetting their breathing arts.
Mystic music concerts were heard like thunder and earthquakes.
The Almighty's graces seemed to surround them like ice flakes.
......
In nature's realm of vivid splashes,
We were taught how to live in love,
For His pure, saving grace surpasses,
All glories of earth and stars above!
This future, our present, and the past,
With the sunshiny golden days galore,
Had each destiny sealed and forecast.
Like a heartbeat, He needs to be sure.
......
Love comes like the summer breeze,
And is slain as autumn leaves from trees,
Yet scents rebound in each summer garden,
As all discordant peeps, receive pardon.
Very Mother Mary, what is she to me,
Whose sinless son, helped the blind to see?
And the wandering ones, so like the wind,
In the heart of a mother, found a friend.
......
One night I happened to dream of a trial
It seemed to be vital, there was no denial
A case to be weighed for life or for death
Solemn thoughts pervading amidst abated breath
The Judge was seated quite high on His throne
His wisdom apparent so gracefully shone
The felon was hardened, his look full of hate
His case was so hopeless, his crime was so great
......
A Relationship Not built On Christ Cannot Endure
For when love is lifted above him, it becomes and Idol,
and every idol eventually falls.
To love God is to give Him the whole heart,
not divided loyalty, not partial surrender
what is built with one foot in faith
and one foot in self
will not stand when the weight of life presses in
Many have been wounded by the
church meant to guide them
......
I try to do well, keep the peace, find a way.
I try to be thoughtful in all that I say.
I’m willing to leave all my interests behind
to follow the Lord, so I’m shocked now to find
that I stand here rebuked at this moment in time.
I guess it’s because the Lord had to remind
me that my ways aren’t in the least like his at all.
Thought I was defending, but I thought too small.
......
He, the word lived in the celestial world.
He was one with the Father and Spirit.
His facets, like petals, slowly unfurled.
To His fervent grace, there was no limit.
In the form of the breeze, He blew around.
As fountains, streams, and rivulets, He flowed.
Over mountains, and valleys He was found.
As the sun, the moon, and the stars, He glowed.
......
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy.
In their great fall, He forsook them not,
But upheld them with His hand and called them once more.
He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own,
The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen.
Blessed be His Word;
Wise are all His precepts.
......
I am evil.
I am evil.
And still, in my evil, don’t leave me, Lord.
If You walk away, I will fall.
My flesh will devour me.
I’ve tried to please You
with everything in me,
but I can’t.
I can’t.
