He did belittle you..

but soon he'll bebig you..

and in the spring

with blooms he will wig you..



in summer he'll summon

jade garb

to resprig you..

In fall with figs on the twigs

he'll refig you





ANSWERED PRAYERS



As he saw.. his fears

were allayed..

for there was the sun

in mornlight arrayed

.. there were the trees

with springblooms sprayed..

.. answered were all

prayers.. that he had prayed



BLACK EYED SUSAN



"Take Me.. Take Me

Take Me" waved

each bloom

to the bee

..but he went

to the one

who was needless

and free





CHOSEN



Who are the chosen people?

After the Messiah

came to earth,

the chosen people

became

those who recognized

Him



CHALICE VISIONS



1. Heard in meditation: "Inside the chalice of wrath

is the blood of Jesus."



2. Vision of a Y of streets.. at its intersection

  in the bricks.. there was blood



3. Was told by someone that a common symbol is 2 swords

upside down in a chalice.  This can be 2 former enemies

  united in the chalice of communion.. or

  a triangle of 2 men and 1 woman the painful effects

of which must be worked out or else cancelled through grace.







CHRISTIAN COCKROACHES



" No room at the Inn"

they said when His cockroaches

were born.



and in the middle of their

lives.. the cockroaches

loved by the Son of Man, like

Him have no place to lay their

heads.



And at the end

"Father Father why hast Thou

forsaken us" they cried

.. as they died



nailed by the shoes

of the unripe



And then their souls

to Him soared in bliss



Only Love can be

created by the Source

of All Love



CLEMENT LEMONS



In the holiest of climes

where the trees to heaven climb

.. the sweet sweet rain

turns to sour juice of lime



and the dew skysent and clement

is the source for sour lemon



so do the words of the Peaceful

Master

become the tirade of

warmonger pastors



(this poem was dedicated to

John Clemente before his death)



FAITH BECOMES KNOWLEDGE







Faith did upward

from the heartrocks

spring..

and run through ryefields

into rivers of knowing

which

did merge in

the sea's community..

before upward assumed

by God Sun into unity





HOW JESUS' SOUL CAME TO MARY



Like falling rain

oer lilyleaf  tripped

       Like pure moon into bright

           cloud slipped

      Like setting sun into

      calm sea dipped

      did Jesus' soul

       come to Mary.



        Like communion

             chalice sipped

                 Like the river oer

          fallsbrim lipped

                 Like dewdrop out

                 of buttercup dripped

               was Jesus' soul

                 born of Mary.



                 (to Nancy M Wilson)







JESUS' FIG TREE



He did belittle you..

but soon he'll bebig you..

and in the spring

with blooms he will wig you..

in summer he'll summon

a jade garb

to resprig you..

and in the fall with fresh fruit

he'll refig you







JOHN CANDY



Each time angel wings stirred his genius

  the Bethesda Pool of his Heart

        was able to heal not just

one but all who entered.



He is no longer bodybound .. and when we hear

the wind stir the lake

.. we will know.. he is calling us to joy.



KNOCK



Jesus was knocking

on my heart's door

I told Him to come

back later..

and then discovered

He lived Inside.



God indwells every

being..

no matter what

we have done..

tiny clouds on earth

can't bar

the blazing infinite

Sun











MINGLED BLOOD



On Calvary Hill Jesus' blood drips from the cross..

With the raindrops it mingles.. and pours

into ruts before noon .. made by the dragging cross...

then into rivulets it goes

which to creeks flow

and to streams grow

.. to rivers.. to great rivers.. to bays and gulfs

til finally in ocean seas it merges.

The blood is everlasting.

Even this evening it enters as the residue..

in pine resin.. and mornglobes of dew.

Beetles bib and bees sup

it from each buttercup.

Hummingbirds sip it

in each trumpet flower goblet

It fills the cheeks of little plover

Alice

draughting of a cherrybloom chalice.

Each chrysalis is washed

in the crucible of Christ's rainblood.

Now winds are winding round cocoons

unwinding.

Each lake, every pond, yea every puddle

and rain drop.. is the Holy Grail

holding the Savior's

everlingering blood

and reflecting the SunSon of God.











PETER PUT DOWN YOUR SWORD



"My kingdom is not of this world.

Peter put down your sword."

Stoners put down your stones.

Thus saith Christ, Christians' Lord.

Not missiles nor bombs nor guns

but Grace and Love and God's word.

It is 'blessed peacemakers'

and not warmongers who to God

move forward.



Did Moses need an army

when God parted the Red Sea?

Did Joshua need anything

but his horn

at the battle of Jericho?

When God multiplied

lamplight oil for the Maccabees

did God need Mideast oil?

Was a fleet of trucks needed

to deliver manna from the sky?



Was DeGaulle protected by

an earthly power

when 93 shots fired

by a crack shot assassin

missed?

Surely Fidel Castro has been protected

  by angels from the many soldiers and assassination plots

  sent against him.



Was not the chant of millions

singing "Allah Akbar"

enough to bring down

the puppet throne?

The hunger pangs of Ramadan

fasters turn into arrows

which strike the heart of

Allah with mercy.



And the suffering of hundreds of

millions of Hindus.. mobilized

by the heart of Mahatma Gandhi..

did it not give an example to the

world in the power of

nonviolent resistance?



SANDI PATTY



Perhaps she sometimes

feels sad

that her body is bound

by gravity

.. as she

wings the hearts

of millions.







THE REVEREND BILLY GRAHAM



First the lightning bolts

of spoken word and then

the rain of grace



As clouds from ocean clashed

gainst peaks of Hawaii @

turned into rain and waterfalls

and down slopes

poured to the waiting sea



so seekers to Billy come

.. their hearts melt in fire

.. from above

they pour down cascade aisles

and fall to the

ocean of God's love







Abba in the name of Jesus cause all Christians to support

nonviolence in international conflict.. .. for "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

is not asterisked with exceptions and this direct word of God to

Moses is the path, not "there is a time to kill" of polygamous

Solomon. "Peter put down your sword" said Jesus.









WOUNDS ARE NOW WANDS



Whether widowers or wed,

windkissed we wend

along

the winding way.

What a wonder to see

His wounds.. and ours too!

have become

magic wands.

Wednesday is no longer

for woe.



Four Murderers Given Clemency by God



Moses murdered an

Egyptian in anger

David murdered Uriah

in lust.

Cain murdered Abel

in jealousy.

Paul murdered Christians

in obedience to

a cruel state.

All suffered afterward.

Yet God spared their lives.



RIBBONS BEFORE THE GIFT



The ribbons arrive before

the gift...

the rippling ribbons of

dawn arrive

before the gift:





pops onto the horizon

the present

.. of the sun's presence



as the gifts of the Spirit

are often present

before the fruits.





WHAT MOST HURT JESUS' HEART



Was it the scourging? the crown

of thorns? the carrying of the

cross? the thirst? the sleeplessness...

Those in the Sanhedrin who lied about

Him?

Was it Pilate's cowardice?

His followers who slept through His

agony?

His followers who ran away?

the betrayal of Judas?

the denial by His chosen successor Peter?

(the crumbling of His chosen Rock?)

No.. it was the few seconds

on the cross when He thought

Abba had abandoned him.



(More of His women followers were faithful)
