The Only Way for Yeses.

Neither coward, nor thief:

Appealing,

Past the surface,

Heart on fire.

Recognition:

Organic and Mutual.

Chaos is only

The violence of affection.

Union brings good change.

Reminders on Sunday

Justice is optional:

Should I lament? 

Exerted, tired;

I find myself spent. 

Frame it beautifully, 

Display it 

In the Foyer.

Over the mantle, perhaps. 

Open arms,

Open heart.

Open arms,

Open heart. 

Worship: see Your face. 

Need: met by love. 

Justice is optional:

Love never fails. 

Fear is optional:

Power, love and sound mind prevail. 

Rough Stones

Rough Stones can be beautiful;

Trace their jagged edge.

Maybe porous or solidly packed,

They mesmerize. 

Picture the scene: 

It's me, washed in violent ocean.

If I'm flesh, I bleed.

If stone, I'm changed.

Either way, 

I respond.

Either way, 

I have to learn.

Meta-analyses Are For Papers

Grinding gears to make product

The prospect, confusing; what is enough?

I came to give/get everything I came for.

I came to see everything.

Don't be a coward

Don't be afraid

If you are scary,

Then I am brave.

Let me be the judge of what I can handle.

Give me everything; don't protect me.

Let me show you how I use it.

The mouth, twice the size of the body.

My Best Work

You haven't fooled me, 

Even if I am bewitched. 

I'm conscious, d. 

Even if my choice is ill advised. 

Volition, here, means I exert

A love that isn't deserved

Verb, or Noun.

Given freely.

There's some liberty

In feeling a little robbed.

Because I made it,

And gave it away.

Yes, I hoped

For something more.

No, I didn't get it,

But I did my very best work.

So Far.

Experience

This yarn is bumpy, and frayed.

Its tinge uninspiring, and gray.

Here, we press the foot pedals.

A wheel turns slowly.

It is coarse.

You might call it ugly.

Press, and guide

And turn.

Spin

It. 

The Words of A Friend.

You're beautiful, you know

I'm telling you so

Look at the laughter in your eyes!

Just a bit more;

Keep going, my love.

Your heart makes me smile

Persist. Persevere. Prevail.

Keep going, my love.

Close your eyes a spell.

I listen carefully for you;

Heartbeat a melody.

Exertion and acceptance marry.

The guests are products,

The church is a library.

But no one will give you away.
