Wellspring of spiritual water, 

It's bubbling inside me.

Gently soothes my bruised soul -

Covering Life's pain of mystery.

 

Unseen surging river, 

Courses through body mortal -

Renewing my energy, 

Forced through this open portal.

 

Full to overflowing, 

Come stand next to me, 

Let the excess splash on you -

To prime your own jubilee.

 

This internal source, 

Never shall run dry; 

For Hope springs…

Yes, the goal is to reach souls; 

but at what further cost? 

Unacceptable is using fear as mind control

for reaching those considered 'lost'.

 

When not as an example of victorious living, 

the principles of God appear to lose credibility.

If not demonstrating a God that's loving, 

then appeal of the Kingdom lacks desirability.

 

To berate skeptical souls with Hell's threat

will deliberately cause immediate offense.

Salvation is not a game with…

Pushing this flesh into alignment, 

guided by The Word most holy and pure, 

I’m striving to learn principles

for a sanctified life to endure.

My Lord loves me without hesitation

and allowed a part of Himself to die.

He’s calling me homeward without reservation; 

by His Spirit, to His side, I’ll eventually fly.

Knowing I’m a child of His, 

during trying times I find true encouragement.

I’m able to lean on His strength

while in search of…

Those disembodied remnants,

Earthly remains of unknown souls,

are now assembled at my doorstep.

Having piqued my attention,

who are these unwelcome houseguests?

Loved ones or Nordic heroes

who were consumed in funeral pyres?

How old are these molecules

that have been forever scattered

during these past centuries?

Unwanted leftovers of human containers,

eaten by microscopic mites,

nibble at my presence

and wait for my…

After twenty years, as cursed as I may be

for having learned computerese,

I continue to examine bits, bytes and words

and insure that I’m one of those computer nerds.

Program design, source code and compile

followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial.

There’s lots of testing – a means to an end

in hopes of avoiding future production abends.

There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware

which are made to work with in-house and vendor…

A manicured garden

of colored, cultured roses

now goes untended.

For Marguerite has been freed

of all mortal constraint;

left behind

is a silver trowel

and dancing shoes,

as her spirit flies

to the Hawaiian shore

for pirouetting barefoot

on the seashell sand.



Goodbye Grandma Massa;

I miss you already.

Author notes…

Today’s great undead poets,

awash in the internet sea,

seek to fill the void of sensible emptiness

of our cyberspace world.

Following the heroic tradition of Man,

these daring individuals look to gain acceptance

through the expression of concepts.

Mirroring the virility and vitality of Life,

in defiance of critical naysayers,

the blankness of virtual paper

is scribbled upon with hurt, hope and ideals.

Writing styles and topics,…

Failing to understand

why our nation is great,

an opportunity was sought

by souls cowardly lying in wait.

Focused on pure evil

as they have continually done,

an unholy attack was unleashed

on a day now known as 9-1-1.

Via the destruction

of New York’s “Twin Towers”

the enemy crushed a symbol

of U.S. monetary power.

Beyond the resources to rebuild,

our country operates from a wealthy mindset;

so we can easily…

Why settle for a counterfeit

when you can have the genuine thing?

For the purpose of "new age" spirituality

is replacing God with the Human Being.

Working from a false assumption

that Man is essentially good,

will lead us down destruction’s path

as History has taught us, as it would.

The fight for supremacy

of our human souls

is still being waged by the Devil

under his planetary control.

Humanism has its agenda

that’s…
