Peeks Through Clouds

An effort to brighten darkness with gentle humor and loving truth... a desire to discern both love and truth more and more clearly when I gaze toward Glory... and a spirit-name, properly descriptive, unrequested but received, my own.

    Rule Change

    Why not earn my living
    observing glorious mornings,
    appreciating shady groves,
    watching clouds
    above sparkling water?
    Why not bake my bread
    by gazing at wind-tossed wheat,
    roast my meat by laughing
    with the frisking calf?
    Why not fill my life
    as I do my heart,
    stunned by sunrise rainbows
    in fog-wrapped treelines
    beyong golding fields?

    Reasons
    can be so unreasonable...

    They rise (flute song 06/02/13)

     
    They rise
    and seek your face no more
    Their own
    is all that they adore
    They rise
    and then forget their God
    They seek your face no more

    In vain they seek for earthly fame
    They fall and curse your name
    and do the same again...
    They rise
    and then forget their God
    They seek your face no more

    They rise
    and labor all their days
    to own
    and gain some form of praise
    They rise
    and then forget their God
    They seek your face no more

    O Lord, who judges all our deeds
    who comes in glory please
    have mercy now on these
    Once more
    reveal your grace before
    they see your face no more
