The Big Silence

A poem inspired by the “Five Essential Truths”     Life is hard You are not that important Your life is not about you You are not in control You are going to die When the weight of the rock makes your shoulders burn And you look to offload every twist, even turn But you’re missing the obvious lessons to learn  Cause the rest of society lives for the churn  And something inside of you’s hoping…

Thank you to The Place Frome

You grace this sacred space, this place we’ve come to face-to-face, for your embrace, your hands to trace, the lives – Like lace – on our hearts, in love encased.Calm our clatter and the chatter we’re flattered by but does not matter. Shatter our constructed patter, gather us from all our scatter and our mess that causes spatter. We fill our days with endless praise that sometimes stays but…

Poem for Janette

For the days you discover the duvet undisturbed and the other side of the bed colder than you remember May the God of intimacy carry your memories, knowing the memory keeps your muse with you, mortal and tender. In the weeks where your washing is just half a load waving in the wind and only one pair of wellies is wet with wear May the God of the weather blow his comfort around you and wrap you up…

Poem for Isabelle’s Baptism

May the Lord of hosts lift you up in His armsMay He keep every journey free from alarmMay the creator curate a path far from harmAnd step into your whirlwinds to fill you with calm When you find that the pathway is not quite as smoothLet the Lord of lords bring you into His grooveAs the King of all kings will be right there to proveThat wherever you are, towards you He’ll move Let the Mighty…

Lord of our lives

It’s not that this wine is special or holy It doesn’t have magical properties now  It’s only the juice of some grapes, fermented Measured out into portions, shared round  The power is in the symbol it gives us Of blood once spilled out on bare ground Of a life poured empty for the whole of the world  Of a gift tightly guarded, once found The power of this wine is in the Christ it calls…

Divine Journey

Just like those few you journeyed with that nightWe may want to claim our hearts rekindled, burning bright More often, though, we stumble on with failing sight And so we gather here collectively to seek your light We look for solace in this sacred sip of wine Thinking it’s here we hope to host communion with the divine Looking to a special holy place or hallowed time to bring to you the earthly…

EV Salvation

Listen to Tony’s Message or my reply underneath won’t make any sense. MG4 or MG5 It matters not what car I drive, As long as fuel comes down a wire, I’ll avoid eternal fire, Diesel, Petrol seek forgiveness, Only DC power doth our God bless, Released at last from fossil haze, I’m finally free from satan’s gaze, Cos Jesus loves me, this I know, Tony Vino told me so; Informing me, my EV choice, Is…

Words cannot express

Words cannot express the depth of the pain and sorrow you feelAnd how, despite the hurt you’re stumbling through, some still expect that core of steelTo show in your upright walk, head held high when all you want to do is kneelWith your head on the floor, curled in a ball, like sleep’s the only action with any appeal.  Words cannot express how elements formed millennia ago in the depths of…

Baptism Eucharist

Baptism joins us to God’s heartWhich holds our lives in all their partsAnd though our outsides may be gleamingWe really need our insides cleaning As we think of Jesus’ life from birth-Heaven crashing into earthAnd right now, mindful of his deathWe thirst to feel your spirit’s breath;As resurrection draws us inCalls us to put our faith in HimOur Lord who stood where we would fallTo win this…

At Church and Broken

Lord I’m not here because I’m perfect,I’m not even here because I’m good,Lord I’m not here because I’ve got things right,Or even that I think I ever could.Lord I’m not here because I’m holy,I’m not here because I’m whole,I’m not here because I’m rich or famous,I’m not! And you know it’s not my goal.Lord I’m here because I’m broken,I’m here because I know I won’t succeed,Without you living,…

  “When Humanity Dies” – by Mohammed Yousuf | National Geographic | used without permission!

Traces of bloody after-birth sit drying on the hair of the newest neonate – red and wrinkled lying there

In a mangy manger in a simple, straw-filled stable,

in a paupers palace, perfect for a prince.

A fuss of farmyard animals filters through the air

And roaming through the room, the whiff of waste is…

This Bread

This bread is grace This bread is grace Grace shared, grace squared It’s by that grace that we’re ensnared Because in grace you dared To show you cared. Your love laid bare, For all that stared At a cross A cross of shame but a cross of victory That calls to me through years of history Your love for me And all of We That looked to see You on that tree We don’t have to be The ones that we Were… Onc…

No mistaking who this one's for now is there! But why would I want to give away complementary pens? Who would take them?
