Simple clay
formed and turned
shaped by the Potter
to hold the Lord
His table ready
offered, prepared for us
Here before God
the cup and the plate
his body broken,
his blood poured
The altar of the cross
His life offered, given for us
September 3, 2011
written for Ruth
in giving the chalice and paten set

Staying to Death
Christ remained on the cross
remaining to die
staying to death
not leaving the punishment
not turning away
staying on the cross to die
offering us redemption
salvation by his blood
dying to save all us
that none would be lost

Profane Things
Not for us to judge
to set apart
to segregate
to make boundaries
walls
between God’s love
and man
We are to listen to Christ
to the way of the cross
God’s love endless
his grace knows no bounds
We should be as generous
merciful in our walk
loving without condition
our neighbors as ourselves

Can you hear Jesus
Can you hear Jesus
in words separating
segregating people
those he loves
those he cast out
Do you hear our Savior
when you hear judgment
do you hear grace
when our neighbors
are called unworthy
Can you hear Jesus
in words of limitation
finding some to be left out
left out for who they are
to be sent away from God

Claiming Limits
Sometimes overt
sometimes subtle
judging our neighbors
claiming limits
boundaries of God’s love
limits to grace
finding fault with their walk
judging their fruits
as if that defined love
what God’s believes
finding fault with our neighbors
when we should be on our knees

sometimes subtle
judging our neighbors
claiming limits
boundaries of God’s love
limits to grace
finding fault with their walk
judging their fruits
as if that defined love
what God’s believes
finding fault with our neighbors
when we should be on our knees

A Journey of Treasure – v2
Like
the ancient Magi
We
are each on the journey
A
quest for the king
Ourselves
the treasure
the
metal, the myrrh, the offering
Following
a star, our hope
A
search for Epiphany –
Life
changing meaning
through
loving adoption
with
one another, in Love

Claiming the Limits of God’s Love
How unjust
what arrogance
claiming to know
to define
to speak aloud
claiming the limits of God’s love
that love is conditional
yet given on the cross
love enough
to heal the whole world
to redeem all of us
though we are dust
loving us, without buts,
loving all of us

what arrogance
claiming to know
to define
to speak aloud
claiming the limits of God’s love
that love is conditional
yet given on the cross
love enough
to heal the whole world
to redeem all of us
though we are dust
loving us, without buts,
loving all of us

Herman the Purple Cow
Herman the purple cow

instead of giving white milk
he gives purple
and if you put it in your coffee
it just won’t percle
But there’s something you ought to know
if milk is purple, you’ll burple

Herman
the Purple Cow
“my”
first poem, actually a song, was
written
with my sister Sandy Foss Scaringi
when
we were children.
It
is a song I often sing in
presentations
on my poetry.
