The Ninety and Nine

Be a good Shepard:
Save the world
Ninety and nine safe and free.

Secure world peace.
End world hunger.
Disease no more to be.

Can these be done
By my power alone;
Or, must I turn to Thee?

In remembrance, do this.
In love, do that.
And, Goodness for all shall be.

Yes, leave behind, I must,
The ninety and nine, for lo,
The one not ninety and nine is me.

If each shepherded one – ourselves,
Our fragile world would be
At peace – safe and free.

Infinity

Words are like
mellifuluous music
cascading down a
waterfall of spirit
erupting at the
bottom
in a symphony of
soul.

Hands of Easter

His hands touched the blind man
his hands touched the leper
his hands reached for people
caught up in a world of darkness.

Now Palm Sunday comes
hosannas fill the air,
but He knew the road
would lead Him elsewhere.

A cross of wood, a crown of thorns
Betrayal and those horrid spikes,
pierce the hands that wrought
love and kindness here on earth.

Easter is not about the eggs,
but about the love of God
giving up his only son
to pay a price that was not his.

To pay a debt for me,
to pay a debt for all
This is ever ever true
he died and rose for all.

Don't Break My Heart! Easter..

Don't break my
heart
Don't let me
fall to the
ground as
meaningless
dust
Don't tell me
love is an
illusion
Don't tell me
hope is a
trick mirror
of the mind
Reach down
through time..
Find me
Tell me your
story in the
inner man
Tell me..
I will listen
I hear the
mockery of the
soldiers
And your mother
Your mother!
She falls breathless
in horror
But she was told
a sword would
pierce her
heart
Look what they've
done to you!
Why are you
doing this?!
I am not worth
all that
suffering
Am I?
Don't break
my heart
Don't tell me
you're going to
pay that kind
of price!
How can I
forget you?
The image of
your cross
burns through
eternity
And your gentle
voice whispers
in every ear
Come closer
What are you
saying?
You said,'This
is what I meant
when I said..
I Love You!!!'

“WAKE UP”

We all wake up;
We all look much older;
We all battle to find motivation-
To roll out of bed;
We all lack the inspiration-
To find inner peace-
And let our souls play.

Wake up, world stop spinning;
Look out, it’s a terrible morning;
Wake up to a duller day.
Wake up, world stop living;
Look out at the terrible morning;
Wake up to a duller way.

No blue birds to be seen;
No black birds to be heard;
The silence is deafening;
The darkness is overpowering;
It’s time for me to move-
But all my nerves shudder and refuse to work.

Wake up, world stop spinning;
Look out, it’s a terrible morning;
Wake up to a duller day.
Wake up, world stop living;
Look out at the terrible morning;
Wake up to a duller way.

We all get up eventually;
We all see ourselves stumble and fall;
We all see each other hit the wall;
Laughter turned into misery;
Fingers crossed that this time we’re right;
It’s time to change…

Touring Tests

Touring tests

It seems I lack the lot of riches
All tours in turn seem rather rough
Mates of mine all turn out bitches
It seems I am never enough

And caves and whores and sears and beers
And waves and wars and fears and years
And ties and tides and current pull
Sweep guys like I the current fool

As in past times when I went wrong
As debt then comes owed to the past
Wisdom and strength coming are long
As purgatory time is cast

And gods and lends of love that’s lost
And frauds and finds of lie and cost
And saxophone plays out my song
Of learning on days I am wrong

~If upon~ (Happy Easter everyone)

The Cross i stood before you
Would my eyes well in sadness
As you keep love in your eyes
While offering the world sacrificial truth.

A humble man of means
Heart to the people
From all walks in life.

Stead fast to educate right versus wrong
A prostitute to marry accepting her past.

If upon the Cross i stood before you
Would you teach me pure life
To settle my ways.

Growing up with not a faintest idea of whom you were
While the many filled with wrong held you in contempt.

Rocks been rolled
Thinking your fate is now sealed
A stalemate for now as the hours pass by.

Resurection arrives, at the final hour
Hands and feet healed
Now much work to be done.

Risen..

Death, where is the death?
Jesus has conquered death,
Because Jesus is RISEN.

Joy Brothers and Sisters!!!
What if we live today,
Because Jesus is RISEN!

If we die with Him,
We live with Him ........... Halleluja!!

Cattle die kindsmen die
Thy to will soon die
But far and fair will
The deeds of a good man
Travel even after death

Anew

As earthquakes rumble
expand to split the surface
lives engulfed by loss

Tsunami washes
the earth’s crust while salty tears
seep into the core

Hearts shaken, broken
lovely lives drowned, buried, as
seasons’ sun radiates.

Still underneath skin
hope courses veins, awaiting.
Spring, where is thy bloom?
