Yesterday vs Jester Day

If past knowledge is hidden

We joke about the forbidden 

Yesterday becomes jester day

What we court is of the sort 

The important is cut short

Devaluing work, overworking play 

The new, not what I knew, 

Attempts to override what I say.

My Girl

My Girl

It's at the age of 13 when I see

the one who is to marry me.

Was this a prophesy?

Something foretold to come to pass

that through anything would continue to last?

She was the best looking in our class

but her inward beauty is what holds me fast.

Her work in the home is beyond 1st class.

It's the Ritz, Lago Mar both made into one,

what without her could not be done.

She can take invisible lemons

cutting them squarely into,

a talent in the home I'm foreign to.

Her overlooking of "Male Refrigerator Blindness"

is just more evidence of her "sweetness and kindness".

Therefore no fear exists when I hunger and thirst

because My Lord gave me His girl of Proverbs, the 31st.

Psalm 36:5-9

The drawing, not the drive

Breath to thrive, not just survive

Thoughts composing into peace

The heart transforming into a fleece

Breath’s warmth as close to a fire

Dread quenched by the lips’ desire

Willing to wonder, but wandering

Stopped in stillness, now pondering

Deeper today than faster yesterday

Fostering tomorrow by learning to play

Forgotten tomorrows no longer by what I say 

Sorrows grounded darkly in height

Clearer vision by decision from the living Light.
