God Weeps

.

God weeps

At man’s inhumanity to man

As man cuts a bloody swathe across his own

Evil smiles at his devilish tricks

We must join hands for peace

Bond together to defeat

The evil one whose plans

Are under-hand and under-way

We must not sway from right

Not always easy to tell, but pray

For our Father to show us the path

And learn to harken to His voice

As He gives us the choice

‘Tween good and evil

‘Tween God and the Devil

For a really positive take on the Boston bombings have a look at Connor’s post:

Neither

.

When you are neither young nor old
When youth has gone and age not yet arrived
It’s waiting in the shadowed wings of life
To show itself however slowly in the light

Even as day has hours of darkness
Where spirit fails to meet the sun
And the night is so much blacker
With murky patches hiding in the gloom

Remember the sun can’t hide forever
And the clouds will slowly burn away
Shining light will burst the cover
And there will always be a brand new day

I Close my Eyes

Sidey’s Weekend Theme: The End of the World

Edited
.

I close my eyes and see the blazing sunrise,

A thousand fires aflame across the skies,

A thousand voices singing songs of praise,

And there You stand surrounded by your angels

With arms outstretched in open invitation

For us to come and make our home with You.

Bright Golden Light

.

As the veil of sleep falls over my eyes

I thank Him for his amazing grace,

He who made our wonderful world

So perfect, so intricate, so complex a place –

Worlds within worlds, within worlds…

And He Himself,

A bright golden light

Blinding my sight.

Angels of Light

.

As light as a feather

weighing naught

drifting down floating on air

suspended in space

on the wings of a prayer

lustrous light luminous translucent

radiant colours blending unending

palest hints tints and shades

blushing flushing

shining bright flaming burning

day and night

magnificent splendour

gently exquisite

echoes reflections of His spirit

Waiting for God

~~

In varying phases of readiness
Waiting for God

Adventurers and explorers
At different stages assorted ages
Waiting for God

Retired from this earth
Going to a new birth
Waiting for God

Leaving on a ghost train
Through the tunnel of love
Waiting for God

Travelling down the dark path
Into the bright light
Waiting for God

Diverse faiths some without
Some are weak others stout
Waiting for God

Hallelujah

~~

Late

.

Too bad

You’re late*

He was waiting

At the gate

You weren’t there

Too busy

With life’s game

No time

To let him in

So He couldn’t

Erase your sin

.

This is a play on the word ‘late’.  Many people in South Africa use the word to mean ‘dead’, e.g. ‘He is late.’ meaning ‘He is dead.’

Refer:  (Revelation 3:20)

Circles and Rings

.

Circles of life

And of seasons

Circles of time

And of reasons

Rings within rings

We go round and round

In our existence

Subsistence

Spinning fast

Spinning slow

Dizzy, giddy

Quite unsteady

If we pause to think

We are on the brink

A balancing act

As a matter of fact

.

You

 .

The heart of my soul

Is a part of Your Whole

A spark of Your flame

A drop in Your sea

You are the God in me

 .

Sea Shore

Sea Shore

.

As I pass along the sea shore of life

And navigate barriers along my path

The soles of my feet are battered and bruised

By rocks and pebbles randomly strewn

.

But when I reach the soft silken sand

Where waves lap gently and sun shines softly

My body is healed in the light of His love

And my soul is again made whole

.
