Blanketed down
On the horizon
To ground
Sky
Covered in quilted white
Upon fiery orange

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.

Lift Erth Rise
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.
Lift Erth Rise
All rises on the rhythm of time
Eternity and hope rises
Lifts from the expanse
Manifests from the divine dance
And rises from nothingness
From matter strewn swirl
And darkened and watery deep
There, the Ghost hovered
Until all did rise—lift erth—rise

Through the Windy
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.
Through the Windy
In the gusts blowing torrent
I heard your whispers
And knew what they meant
The Wind blows where it wills
In the silence it stills
It gives shivers and chills
Gusts over the waters—A torrent
And all of creation knew what it meant
And all of creation knew what it meant

After the Storm
After the Storm,
photo by Jack Baumgartner
After the Storm
After the storm
The sun sets down
On droplets of rain
Falling off flowers
Trees glistening
The sky an orange stain
At the closing of the hours
The fruit of creation listening

Obed-Edom
“I Chose You, Obed
Edom”, photo courtesy of Jack Baumgartner
Obed-Edom
Obed-Edom’s house
Was none but God’s
His dwelling – where God was
Blessings flowed from the threshold
From the time he was young until he was old
The Lord remained,
His family sustained
The Ark of God
Within their hearth
As the evenings closed
The glow of cherubim,
Reflecting in fire’s light,
Brought hopeful joy
At the end of night
The Spirit filled and God did meet
Turning every chair into a mercy seat

“The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the
Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and his entire household.”

The Last of December’s Sun
The Last of
December’s Sun, photo by Jack
Baumgartner
The Last of
December’s Sun
It was the last of December’s sun
A parting gift of day—an illuminating ray
The fire nestled between the trees
Snow and ice crunching beneath
The snow-covered road winding through the hay
The frozenness of this last day
Ice shimmers and stills—frozen
Juxtaposing the warmth of life
This is what the end has chosen
The sun sets down, the dew crystalizes
The snow flakes and ice shimmers and shakes—frozen
Through thorny bush and purple hue,
Life begins to sleep in front of you
The evergreen bears the weight of snow
And the end tells us all we need to know
At evening’s close—the last of December’s sun
The night has come—the day is done
The wings of birds flutter farewell—
Against the silence and the setting sun
Time and the fields are frozen now
And life sleeps and shifts as it knows how
© January 6, 2014, Robbie Pruitt
This poem is based on a photo blog post by Jack Baumgartner
entitled “The
Last of December’s Sun” and a song by Jack, track #1, The Oak Leaf, guitar.
Jack is a very talented artist, photographer and musician and an amazing
woodworker. You can visit Jack’s work at “The School of the Transfer of
