I see my breath
in lonely winter air.
The sun had come and
quickly set again –
A stranger, passing,
rushing to nowhere.
This cold wind blows,
it disappears again.
The days go on,
the story feels the same.
I searched and found
no meaning to this game.

The Passing Stranger
-
Fill this Empty Cup
Of all that I’ve done wrong,
I recompense
Though You have said
that You’d forget them all.
It’s You alone that
I have sinned against,
And from Your sight the
sinful soul does fall.
Again, with joy, Your
Spirit fills my cup
Though I am crushed,
again You raise me up
-
Pursuits
“There is no God!”
So brashly, I profess
With no shame,
living like I don’t believe
I’m of corrupted blood
and nothing less,
Desires… guilt…
Chase me with no relief.
Oh, nothing that I know,
Not of my need
For God’s pursuit,
tenaciously, of me
-
Piety’s Price
To satisfy their gods,
the rich bring gifts.
And with the other hand,
they rob the poor.
Reciting Holy laws
with silver lips,
they leave to tell
their lies outside the door.
But what He asked was
for a sincere heart
That calls on Him when
things all fall apart.
-
Candied Wine
I felt your lips that
taste like candied wine
In a shared kiss, which
left me very pleased
Intoxicated – from
your love’s sweet vine,
Like perfume setting
restless hearts at ease.
Now that I know why
they all stop and stare,
I beg you, come with me
away from here…
-
Riddles
Unravel riddles
that is why I write.
I’m simple but I’m
hoping to be wise.
In understanding parables,
I might.
May fairness, justice,
rightness fill my eyes
Without perspective,
wisdom’s out of reach.
If God’s the teacher,
let the teacher teach.
