The rain
began
slowly
in droplets
again
it fell
crystallizing
the pace of the day

Crave
"Moses Shown The Promised Land," by Benjamin West, from Wikiart.org
Crave
A land
Flowing
With life
Sweet and golden
Glowing
A nurturing nectar
Milky sweet
Life flows from the land
From the fountain
Of His hand

"If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey." (Numbers 14:8, ESV)

In the Stillness of
the Gaze
So much emotion,
held in the stillness,
in the stare—in the gaze.
Beneath the armor of intimidation,
The Light breaches through the gaze,
through the stillness, through the resolution,
through the old age—through the haze.
The hope we hold, that when we are older,
our eyes speak our stories, and our stare reflects
the struggles, the successes, the scars,

My Name is Ash
Cry The Blood, by Jack Baumgartner,
Based on Cry the Blood, i am erth, by Jack Baum
For a soundtrack to this poem, listen to the last track here.
My Name is Ash
From ashes to ashes
From dust to dust
When the mountain falls
We are crushed
Pummeled to dust and grave
Weary under the weathered
Parched and hostile land
We waited on the rain
The drop from heaven
That would spring The Garden
To new life from desolation
Broken over the rock of ground
And the sweat of the brow
My name called, as it knew how

My friend Jack Baumgartner recently released his album “Cry
The Blood”, from i am earth, Jack Baumgartner. This is a heartfelt and sacrificial
work of pilgrimage. The blood sweat and tears in this music cries out in
beautiful heart felt harmony. This work is organic in sound and is simply
beautiful. I am moved. This is music for the soul. If you are going to buy an
album this year, well, this one has breath and life in it. It cries the blood.

Energy here:

Casting Illuminating Lines
Casting Illuminating
Lines
The sun casts its lines
As rays of light
Breaking the day
Hoping to make a catch
Illuminating life, time, ocean,
Beaches, ships, mast and sail
And one lone fisherman
Hoping to prevail

Imaginings
Imaginings
End my ponderings
Pull the line under
Break the stillness
Shatter the wondering
Ripple the surface
Stir me from bucket perch
Bow my cane pole
End my patient waiting
Meet my hopes—console
