A voice of the sun
Eyes that shine in the moonlight
Oh crap they saw me

Haiku 13

what i saw a long
   time ago, was truly new
in this short small life

I looked up to the cross and down deep inside
I saw redemption and the shame I can't hide
I looked up to the heavens and down on the city streets
Now and then I glimpsed where hurt and healing meets
I looked from the four ends of the earth
And there I experienced a kind of rebirth
I looked from the richest to the poorest of there
Where I stood there was more to wealth than what I see
I saw that they were joyful, so warm and real
They lived with such enthusiasm; such zeal!
I looked up from my little world to see what awaited
I saw there a great big place so wonderfully created
I looked back and saw that things had shifted
I began to see how I was gifted
I looked to God and saw his Merciful Heart
And in my inmost being a change would start
I looked to God and saw his Precious Blood
And I was washed clean in that Holy Flood
I looked to God and saw his Body Broken
And I saw him with arms Held Open
I looked to God and felt a kind of Power
That remains every day until my Final Hour

I saw the future …

I saw the future, and it was joy.
I saw the future, and it was life.
A prince in his father’s kingdom, was I.
I have all, I need not, I want not.

I saw the future, and it was grim.
I saw the future, and it was death.
An orphan without a home, was I.
I am poor, I am shunned, I am alone.

I saw the future

I am light, but I am blind.
I am water, yet I burn.
I am life, but I am death.
I am heaven, yet I burn.

I saw the future.

I made a choice.
