POEMS TO FORGIVENESS



30 PIECES OF GOLD



The moon, branch-divided,

scattered 30 pieces of silver

to Judas upon the shore.. but

the morning sun turned them all

to gold.

Now matter what the error

redemption is entire

Only God can kill

says God.. the Lord of Fire





(to K Tomayko)



ALTARS OMNIPRESENT



In doubt or

hesitation

do not falter

at Abba's

omnipresent altars

where

God forgives

all knaves,

all defaulters



BRIGHT GOLD FIELDS



Within the husk

are bright seeds

containing future

gold fields of corn



Just so God grows

joy's bright kernels

inside the husks

of cruel scorn



THE STONE SHE HAS THROWN



The stones

she has at others thrown

have become the cornerstones

of her Divie Love throne.





NOT LEVITICUS



Jesus came to replace

the law of slaughter

in Leviticus

with the LAW OF LOVE

AND LIGHT OF THE LORD

Jesus came to replace

an eye for an eye

as he made the blind

to see
