BEAUTY  IN  MOTION

 

 

Beauty that lasts

Settles deeply within the soul

Radiates from within the human spirit

Glows as a brightened countenance from the body;

The eyes of heavenly Peace shine, Peace full of eternity!

As angelic stars move from high above

To bring a small taste of Heaven on Earth

Holy Spirit power lives out in reality shown

The Resurrection Life of Messiah Yeshua revealed

In another one, in many others the same

Most exquisite qualities of character,

The Shepherd Himself indwells His mankind

Lives within a reborn man, a woman’s spirit rebirth,

Kingdom oneness on supernatural display

While the Body of Christ rises to new heights

The Gift of Faith overpowers, overcomes the world

Darkness fades as Light engulfs all

The fire of the Holy Spirit zeal consumes

And a new heaven and earth begin to unfold

Within eyes filled to overflowing with wisdom and power

Strength in faith unmatched

In the Divine Beauty now made known;

One chosen person at a time

Drawn into the Holy Presence

One generation at a time gathered, clothed with whitest white

In the fragrance of our Messiah’s Life

Holy Spirit aroma of our King from His Jerusalem

Our King of Majestic Beauty in Truth,

Now and in the New Jerusalem soon to come,

One day to descend from His Father,

From the very Throne of Creation of the Third Heaven!

PEACEFUL  SOUNDS

 

 

The inner glow of Messiah’s Holy Spirit

Godly character steadily developed

The body temple cleansed and bright with Heaven’s Light

And the Redeemer’s Blood,

The work of the Father, the work of His Son!

Along the narrow road to eternal purity

Human nature always stumbles

But a hand nearby lifts and returns to the wise path of peace;

The Kingdom Gate waits wide open for us,

What an enlightened mind already perceives

True Hope sees more and more clearly

New life unfolding in each footstep-

“To love You Lord and to know Your love for me!”

While the old life fades away.

Many pretenders try to force their way ahead

Foolishness parades in selfish pride

Deceived and deceiving themselves even more;

A Gate made out of a single pearl

Remains far out of reach.

A soap box opera of lies, plays out

Drowns much of America through media deceit

In government, in banking, in business

Too many noses bow down into media cesspools

Daily chew on Internet, television propaganda

Dance along often on a garbage pile of feathered control.

Yet, how blessed are the people near and far

Who hear the “still small Voice”

The joyful sounds that flow with the Living Word,

The peaceful sounds of the Holy Spirit who indwells them!

 

SIMPLE MAN

SIMPLE  MAN

A simple, honest man

In a “self” driven, confused and complex world;

He stands for simpler, clearer times

With a strong voice that speaks calmly

As a pleasant trumpet melody sounds out

Truth in a ready song of delight is easily heard

Ears open to the heart

Where peaceful meaning and lasting purpose rest,

Goodness within confirms the goodness shared

In a celebration of Truth that carries Eternal Life,

Wings cover the soul with divine warmth

A Heavenly warmth every soul needs,

What the human spirit hungers and thirst for

While the body glows from within,

Good light in the eyes that is real and lasting.

Love for God always first

Loyal, faithful love for the True Lord of Life

The One enthroned above all;

Shining golden keys seen that open one door, close another

Such confidence within the peaceful heart,

While this simple man walks his path

A woman also of faith in hand

A prophetess who understands, who loves first,

They share many moments of comfort and encouragement

Together worship their Holy God

Praise their Creator, Lord of power and authority,

Even He who forever walks with them,

For His Spirit of Truth lives peacefully in their hearts.

STRENGTH  OF  PEACE

Peace in the strength of our Lord

Most powerful Presence in the Universe

His Spirit of Peace the divine Presence within

Given as the most precious Gift from above

Kingdom jewel that crowns the born again human spirit

Kingdom gift, Kingdom proof and assurance;

The wise and the watchful

Those alert, always ready who pray without ceasing,

Our eyes look continually to the Lord

Thoughts fixed, drip with persevering oil of endurance

Holy Spirit anointing upon the intimate Heavenly call,

Steadfast in purpose of consuming love;

Oil lamps always lit and ready

Abundance of oil at hand,

“Wise virgins” who faithfully await their beloved One

Who look to their Savior, their coming bridegroom

Covenant love already experienced;

The greatest commitment possible through the Cross

Bread of Life, Words of the Spirit in the purest stream

Living Water that flows from the Throne of Love

While the Risen King watches each man and woman

His children that belong

Secure within the temple tent of the Redeemer,

Shepherd of His chosen flock.

SURFACE  BEAUTY

At the busy local food store checkout line

Patience again tested,

Magazines on both sides

Young models pose their beautiful faces and bodies

In a sharp contrast with the gossipy newspapers;

The surface beauty of youth on bold display,

What is seen on the outside

Quickly fades,

What is known in the heart is Eternal

And who can weigh the difference

On the scales of truth

With transparent honesty

Embracing naked spiritual reality?

Some lovely flowers open slowly

Last a very long time in steadfast beauty,

Some come on quickly with a radiance

And then quickly disappear in a thin mist,

The fragrance on the wind

But a scent that drifts away;

Beautiful hips “as a jewel, the work of the hands of an Artist”,

Beautiful soul and spirit

The work of the same One

Our Creator who reflects all beauty

In so many ways,

Countless expressions crowned by humanity,

Even as the stars above that differ in beauty from star to star;

Tangled human knots of perception

Simply unraveled

Easily undone by a perfect God.

The food line moves

A familiar smile greets

Mature female eyes that calmly hold Light

Such friendly efficiency, pleasant countenance;

Food in bags and I’m off again

To run my own race of peace,

Yes, to love first

Always to love First!

SUMMER  MORNING

Lying on the soft, cozy couch at rest

Early morning sounds outside the door

And outside the living room window,

As a dove coos repeatedly

Other birds begin as well,

Then, a neighbor’s dog barks

With another neighbor’s car off to work again;

Common things, simple things

In the humility of a daily routine.

Now, in the deeper humility of my bowing early

Prayerfully, quietly before the Lord of Heaven and Earth,

Intercessions with heartfelt thanksgiving rise high above

Words of praise and honor stream out in divine fellowship

Love lifted into rich meditations of Holy written Words

Holy Spirit Words scribed down on ancient scrolls

Preserved from generation to generation

All for us today,

Pure Daily Bread- food for the human spirit

With sips of Living Water;

And the spirit is renewed

The soul refreshed

The body encouraged and sustained,

The earth trembles just a little more

Mountains melt a bit.

A final early prayer is sung-

“Oh Lord, restore us all,

My Lord, cause your face to shine on us

And we will be saved.”

Up from my knees

And into the day,

Armor of powerful Light covering,

This one stands ready, prepared for spiritual war!

TO  WAIT

To simply wait

And rest in the One with ultimate control,

To prayerfully wait upon the Lord.

No more running in circles

Impatient and restless

Anxious for nothing;

Prayers seem unanswered

Things once seen or heard in the Spirit,

Confidence had risen strong

And stood boldly above the world,

Now as time flies by, visions faded

Noble plans dragged down

Almost flat, down on the Earth;

Time once raced smoothly by

At a good pace, in a good place

But then, things stopped

Heaven became very hard

Cries went unanswered

Money nothing but trouble

Friends drifted away

Family stepped back

Few others at arms reach,

Then, fellowship faded .

God so far away

Needs unmet

Despair again as a serpent slithered nearby

Light became less so

Darkness reared in ugliness once more;

The heart was dry

The mind grew numb

Scripture difficult to read,

Thoughts of some prophets of old

Job in his struggles, his persevering endurance,

And then, the Holy One fasting in desert Israel!

Finally he fell on his face

Bowed in the worthless dust

Lips dry and cracked,

Prostrate before the only God who cares

Who shows love and mercy

Who brought true peace when their was none

Truth in the face of the lies of liars.

And at last he waited on the Lord

Whether to live or to die,

All his time now in the Sovereign Hands;

Broken before the will of the only God of Peace

The only God of Trust

Higher than the heavens above the earth

Far beyond mere human life

God alone is His Trust

His true meaning and purpose for existence,

The Son of God,  Creator who alone is Eternal Rest!

LITTLE  THINGS

To worry about the constant details

As the fires of perfection

Burn in human effort,

The mind scurries about

Moves like the wind blowing here and there

Constant motion, thoughts turn inside, then outside

Turn this way and that way

Endlessly repeated with raw anxiety,

A nervous, unsettling dance of circumstances seemingly played out.

The heart longs for illusive rest

Peace always beyond the fingertips

Money never a real comfort

Wealth but a worldly mirage,

The race for prosperity

Ends when the human candle flame blows out;

Most run from the Truth

Terrified by honesty

Frightened with the naked transparency of the soul,

“Self” with shocking disappointment avoided at all cost.

Yet, a few are separated at last from darkness

Removed from the large trembling herd

Brought into glimmering Light;

They fall to their knees in real time,

Alone and still, as arms stretch towards Heaven

The heart learns to bow in humility

While they begin to yearn and reach out in belief,

To take hold of constant divine Peace

To grow daily in rest with God

In the hope of their Creator

In the trust of the Holy Son!

CONTENTMENT  IN  A  MATERIAL  WORLD

To seek and find as treasure

To receive what lasts

From the very hand of God

In a continual pure and peaceful flow

Meeting every possible honest need,

As seed sown in faithful love

Watered graciously

Multiplying in generous, giving hearts;

Those who move in and through our Earthly lives

As simply gifts of opportunity

Chances to pour out a healthy drink,

Hand out rich and nutritious broken bread

To encourage the poor in spirit,

All the beautiful children;

We live to share everything truly good

One hand meets our own needs

The other passes along abundance,

Both hands lifted in the works of prayer

Wonderfully are turned into the gift of praise experienced,

Joy from above worked into the possessions we carry daily.

CUP  OF  MERCY

From the only hands of love

Reaching out to our heart and soul

A cup of mercy offered freely,

Sparkling droplets upon dead, dry lips

Jewels of hope offered to the hopeless;

Then, with a few more sips

And a little time for healing renewal passes

An intimate awakening surges forth

Revelation as a small spring of water

Grows into a strong flowing stream,

A most beautiful fragrant blossom opens

To Life itself;

A sudden calm and soothing Spirit within,

New experiences join with understanding

As God’s peace settles from above,

A true gift in Messiah as proof of a supernatural touch,

Something once mysterious

Soon to flow easily, freely with the honey of Heaven’s wisdom;

A few more drops of Living Water

And the ancient Holy Scriptures come alive,

The Book of Eternal Mystery is steadily revealed

And purely made known.

Now, somehow as a child once more

He matures day to day in faith

With prayer and daily Bread

The “Word made flesh” becomes a fountain of delight

From within,

Anointed lips sing new songs of praise

Anointed talents multiply abundantly

Treasures found, treasures shared.

So many others thirst the same

Every day, in every place,

A prayer of compassion is spoken often

Whispered repeatedly within-

“Lord, pour me out, too

As another of your vessels of Truth and Peace!”
