Unyielding Hearts
Inspired by Kateri Tekakwitha, the ”Mohawk Saint”
"What people don't realise is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross." - Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being
She burned her legs with coals
and God was in the sear.
The gospel boats and souls
were floating by in shoals,
to make with halves new wholes,
to change with Christian cheer.
She burned her legs with coals
and God was in the sear.
The bodies, wracked with fear
and never fully wrought ...

Waiting -
I watch from rooftops
like afternoon sunlight,
the partially
shingled building
clamors
with each stiff wind
speaking like the dead,
plucked flowers
drift aimlessly
between
gravestone pathways,
waiting to decipher
peace
in the steps
of angels.
like afternoon sunlight,
the partially
shingled building
clamors
with each stiff wind
speaking like the dead,
plucked flowers
drift aimlessly
between
gravestone pathways,
waiting to decipher
peace
in the steps
of angels.

MY FAITH
I have faith in two things only
Love and words never disown me
Religion’s creeds have some appeal
Their actions though undo the deal
Money has nothing to show me
I have faith in two things only
Both can tie us all together
Family and friends all tethered
It’s hard to trust our government
When you look at the fools we sent
I have faith in two things only
All others crumble below me
Sports teams one day will let me down
Technology runs me aground
My heart whispers when I’m lonely
I have faith in two...
Love and words never disown me
Religion’s creeds have some appeal
Their actions though undo the deal
Money has nothing to show me
I have faith in two things only
Both can tie us all together
Family and friends all tethered
It’s hard to trust our government
When you look at the fools we sent
I have faith in two things only
All others crumble below me
Sports teams one day will let me down
Technology runs me aground
My heart whispers when I’m lonely
I have faith in two...

RHYMING EASTER GREETING
Happy Easter, one and all!
Join in the "He is risen!" call.
Out of the tomb He's standing tall;
The grave could be no prison wall.
The stone-roll angel did appal
The guarding soldiers. One and all
Did in a dead faint simply fall.
They lay loose as a crumbled wall.*
The babe laid in the manger stall
Is now the risen Lord of All.
We may shun or follow His call;
"You who follow shall not fall."
* "...the angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like...
Join in the "He is risen!" call.
Out of the tomb He's standing tall;
The grave could be no prison wall.
The stone-roll angel did appal
The guarding soldiers. One and all
Did in a dead faint simply fall.
They lay loose as a crumbled wall.*
The babe laid in the manger stall
Is now the risen Lord of All.
We may shun or follow His call;
"You who follow shall not fall."
