Christian poem: On a starry night

On a starry night


On a starry night...
One star shows bright.
On a wide desert...
Three wise men advert.
On a poor farm...
Beasts of burden charm.
In a holy manger...
Our Lord lives in danger.

Christian poem: A cave

A cave


Dark and gloomy
a cave, Jesus' term

Dank and doomy
a fright, Jesus' firm

Strong and guilty
a guard, Jesus' yearn

Spiritual and Godly
a flight, Jesus' turn

Christian poem: The three crosses

The three crosses


Green grass rolling hills
Tall trees trolling still
Blue brooks babbling streaming
Small shrubs shining sheening
Three crosses believes erect
Jesus and two thieves elect

Poem: "Storm's a-coming"

Storm's a-coming


Bending, creeping, the
branch against branch
Bolting, thundering, the
cloud against cloud...
Banging, pelting, the
avalanche against avalanche
Belting, sweeping, the
loud against loud...

Christian poem: Crevasse of Creation

Crevasse of Creation


Cacophony of picks sticks
Stems drops leaves bents

Round of rocks hicks
Stones streams leaves bones

Mash of leaves lines ticks
Tones meal soil beads

Christian poem: God's disciples

God's disciples


Tall rocks of majesty
Deep rivers of tranquility
Wide open spaces
Wind-swept faces

Long beaches of extension
Tall waves of indention
Wind-swept traces
Wide open faces

God's creation in breadth
Disciples' faces in depth
