"Why I Wait"

A verse
  a line
A hearse?
  No time!
I’ve no time
  to be dying
For in death
  I’ll get my rest
Peace, dear soul,
  fear no trouble
Work while you’re here
  strive for those dear
For Heaven is yours
  (you need not fret)
  but I wonder,
  do you think It’s theirs?

"Vertigo"

          I stand at the edge of a cliff;
     My future looms before me
      Begs me answer: “If?”
     Behind me,
     my past beckons,
     warm and comforting—
     A forest
     wanting me to stay;
     I want it too
     But my path
     lies forward:
     "Onward!
     Upward!"

     I look
      over the edge;
     fathoms upon miles
     gaze back at me
     I cannot
     see the bottom
     but I’m sure
     it’s there

     ...somewhere

     I turn back,
     seeking solace
     among the trees
     But I can’t
     go there,
     not now:
      I’m here!
     I’ve no choice
     but to leap

     full force into my future

And trust God to guide me.
After all, He’s brought me this far.

"God Is Love"

Love is splendidly splendid.
We love (Him) because He first Loved us.
God is Love.
Gravity—
  a force that attracts.
Just so is Love:
  God’s attraction to us and ours to Him.
Love conquers all, knows no fear,
  keeps no record of wrong.
Love is always
patient
kind
unfailing.
God is Love—
  He never fails!
    Amen!

Battlesong: "The Breath Of Boredom"

The breath of boredom
shall bring forth
Aventyr’s greatest threat.

One from their midst
one of their own
will rise up and defy.

He will bring mountains
and rivers to places
they ought not to be.

Aventyr’s plight
will be that which
none knows how to fight.

Avoid boredom, avoid idleness,
for these lead to ruin.
Destruction shall be swift,

Death shall be sure.
Many shall perish and mourn
for the loss of their own.

Aventyr! Aventyr!
The Guardians weep for thee!
They know the place, the time, the year…
Aventyr! Aventyr!

My Friend...

My Father...

  He’s awesomely good
  providing me food—
  physical and spiritual
My Lord
  Jesus Christ? Yes! Not absurd.
  He’s the reason I live,
  Because of the blood He gives.
  He can be yours too,
    if you only believe and confess He’s true.
