I will not say one prayer for the Innkeeper, that self-centered clown
in the White House: except to ask the Lord to cast him down
from his high horse, although he is the horse's ass.
Please, Lord, bring the Innkeeper's downfall to pass.

Clad in a polo shirt, baggy cargos, and casually barefoot,

his shoes off his socksheathed feet, intending, tonight, a long stay.

S74rw4rd-13d posted a new Poem titled + 1ST ORTHODOX POEMS: The Divine Liturgy, From September 14th, 2025, The Triumph Of The Cross [Repost] 20 weeks ago
I love the photographs---the astronomy---
of the Webb and Hubble, and the expanding cosmology.
But the greatest grandeur (to even a dullard like me)
dwells in the Divine Liturgy:
the supreme sum of Orthodox Faith and spirituality.

Beyond unbelief, beyond belief, there lies an open desert.
In the heart of that vastness our longing hangs, a yearning without object.
When the mystic arrives, he bows his head, resting in surrender.

He said, "I, too, am young at heart."
We laughed at that, because he was an old fart:
not, perhaps, that much of a thinker,
but shrewd and just as slick as a wet stinker.

justshan1983 posted a new Poem titled Truth 20 weeks ago
Like Alice and the Caterpillar
We circle one another — curious, cautious,
Each trying to glimpse the other’s truth,
While neither is certain of their own.
Both afraid to be the first to speak,
Fearing that naked honesty might be too much.
And in the... [read more] |

The Bright and Morning Star inhabited the Virgin's womb;
and, thirty-three years later was laid, dead, in a borrowed tomb.
He lingered in neither.
And now He sits at His Father's right hand, in glory's grandeur forever.

distressed but baggy jeans, shirtless and barefoot.
His nearly waist-length dreads cascaded down his
torso, front and back; his feet grass-stained during
afternoon croquet.
