Portal

It is a full moon midsummer!
The Pandemic is pretty near blowed.
The rioting in the States' pretty well blown.
What next in the news might be seen?
Jesus appear in the clouds?
The way we saw Him go.
This train of thought may show -
How in Western North complancy's grown
We have shared our bread; tried to be good.
But have we been kind to motherhood?
Whatever the sin: are we humble?
The time is ripe to repent and pray!
And like rain pours from a portal
Renew the land after this dry spell.
Or work hard at our Salvation!
Listen to the call of a loon.
You may copy my lay.

Lord of the wind

Lord of the wind, of the breeze, and of the rainbow,
Lord of the rain, of the sleet, and of the snow,
Lord God, lamb of God; Lord of me.

Lord of the grass, of the field, and of the meadow,
Lord of the road, of the course, and of the walkway;
You take away the sins, away the sins of the World: away the sins of me.

Lord of the calm, of the stillness, and of the song of the robin,
Lord of the morning, of the noonhour, and of the tide of even;
Holy Spirit renw us, Spirit infill us: Holy Ghost give peace to me.

Jesus our Hope

Son of God mercy
Son of Mary please
Son of Joseph please
Son of David thanks
Jesus I trust in You - 4X
Jesus have mercy on us - 4X
Sacred Heart of Jesus mercy - 4X
Lord send your Spirit on us today - 4X
Father your child thanks You for Hope for us - 3X

Expedition

Why is there trash in the Ocean?
Why does love take so long?
Why is my heart ever yearning?
For something so true and strong?

God's love's as deep as the deep!
God's carpenter's arms hold me tight.
God's spirit is in me revealing.
Why naught so long like the night?

Why do birds stop their singing?
Have we found what we're looking for?
Now is the grass ever greening?
Here was the long awaited fore!

For the time of our need.
Fore we go with the wind in our sails.
Fore no other to heed?
For His will to prevail!

Now we have peace with the Dayspring!
Here we chart through the chop.
This love, this stay, the Spring,
Our song, begins afresh from the top.

11th May '20 The Rise of Slime

Last night we watched another show on tv which discussed our oceans but what stayed in my mind was "the rise of slime". Now isn't this an alegory for our time? I am but "a jellyfish of organs stuck through with bones" to quote myself, an amoeba, not too developed. I think I see however, how the slime of society, spawn of the Devil, somebody I believe is real, has us all enveloped. If I go on a date, which had better be with my wife; what I've learned at the stage of my life at last, do I have in mind past dates, adventures of misadventures, when it is all about me? This sliminess of our culture God, Who existed always, asked the Woman and Man to regect, and see through the Snake's lie. Now the balance of Nature is upset, there is no equity between people, and the slimy rises to the top. Where, the truth is obscured, in our vast sea of knowledge, for political or financial gain, it has me on the hop. There's talk of perfect storms, how do walk the way of perfection, Who walked on water, who is the masteer of the waves? Learn the ways of the Master: Jesus saves!

Where?

from an early hour this morning

In Bethlehem we find our Way, the Babe, the King, the God, Alway.
In Jerusalem we see the Light, our Peace, our Priest, and our delight.
In Nazareth we come to Life, the Carpenter, his Son, and Mary, the wife.
In ancient Palestine discover the Truth, a prophet, yes, the Master, saves for sooth.
Jesus is our Hope and stay. He is here now in monstrance, He is here now in tabernacle,
and He is here now in me.
He is the Pascal Sacrificial Lamb of God, our Eucharistic Lord of Glory!

Thoughts on a Wintry December

In the cold dead December
The Christ Child's birth we celebrate
Help us Master always remember
We need a Pilot to navigate
If we are to sail to better weather
When we want to flourish our climate
We give to Mary the eagle's feather
From the four winds negotiate
Long and loathing heath and heather
Holly and Ivy Crown and populate
May the Spirit us now gather
All in the Way aggregate.
