On my path of Christianity,
shall I be a fool exposed…
with these words of poetry?
Or have I been transposed

into the servant that God
witnessed, before my birth?
Even though I remain flawed,
in Christ, I find my worth.

By His Spirit, my confidence
is shown in eloquent verse;
with this divine cognizance,
my contentment is immersed

in my identity with Christ.

Inspired by:
Jer 1:5; John 1:12; Eph 1:5;
1 Cor 6:17

Poem: For the Birds

To some people, birds are
nothing more than eye candy;
to others, a vital part of
Earth’s ecosystem; how far

should one go to study them
in detail? Between exotic
mating rituals and building
skills, what unseen gems

can we observe? The Father
feeds and cares for all fowl,
even though they don’t sow,
reap or gather; why bother

trying to interpret His plan,
when His methodologies rise
up, beyond our ability to see?
Does He reveal Himself to Man

with genius, creativity and by
the majesty of the Heavens?
Of course, He does! Why else
do we raise our hands, sigh…

and purpose to praise Him?

Inspired by:
Matt 6:26, 10:29-31; Psa 8:4

Poem: Clinging to The Cross

I’m dearly clinging to The Cross
of Christ, as though this Life
depends on it; with these empty
hands there’s no gain, but loss

since Salvation can’t be earned.
The vanity of accomplishments
and earthly achievements mean
nothing, seeing that it’s burned

up within the crucible of works.
My Hope remains in Christ alone
and the commitment of His Word;
I’m not motivated by a knee ****

reaction to lies from His enemy.
Therefore, I’ll remain vigilant,
confident and sober, knowing that
on Christ, I will always rely!

Inspired by:
John 3:16; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3:23;
1 Pet 5:8

Poem: Heart and Soul, Warmed

My heart and soul, warmed
by Yahweh’s Love, finds its
motivation to quietly move
in a manner that’s pleasing
to Him; since we’re formed

after His image, He knows
us best and intimately; we
in return, love Him because
He first loved us; His Word
reveals Himself… to those

who actively seek Him; we
know that He’s not a Man,
that would lie- so we can
learn to believe, to trust,
to praise and begin to see

Him with true, spiritual eyes,
so our spirits soar and rise!

Inspired by:
Acts 17:27-28; Gen 1:27; Num 23:19;
1 John 4:19

Poem: Not In Haste

Waiting on Yahweh is
an effective binding
of our soul to His;
will this Life’s quiz

be clarified within…
our identity in Christ?
We’re human beings, not
human doings; begin

to live without worry.
Haste makes waste; can
we expect real change,
if always in a hurry?

Inspired by:
Isa 28:16

Poem: Morning’s Dawn and Dew

With morning’s dawn and dew,
the blades of wet grass beckon
unto me, to cleanse… soiled
soles; as I stride across the
silence of greenery, wondrous
sparkling of unknown diamonds
mesmerize my gaze; the wealth
of my existence is enhanced,
as I envision Christ, before
His disciples, bent over their
feet… ready to humbly serve.

Dedicated to David Thane Cornell

Inspired by:
John 13:1-17 and

David’s poem “SECOND CHANCE”

SECOND CHANCE
When God came calling face to face
In a fatal circumstance,
Breast to breast in His embrace,
He promised me a second chance
To let me ring the morning in
And dine on dawn and dew,
My running feet to press and bless
The grass I'm passing through,
The potent wine of joy to flood
Like a bubbling spring,
Warm hosannahs in my blood
That make me want to sing.

-- from The Science Of Waiting,
Poems by David Thane Cornell.

Poem: Unseemly Faith

The ugliness of unseemly Faith
serves as an undesired deterrent
and stumbling block to the lost;
as our moral strength is spent,

we’re more apt to be watched!
The enemy will pounce as a lion,
wanting to **** and to destroy
our Hope; there’s no use trying

when the challenges to humanity
range from Life to Death. We must
rise up and strive to do good;
real Faith requires us to trust…

in the Holy One, Who sent us.
Therefore, let us live boldly!
Let’s run into the daily battle
and enjoy that we’re made holy!
