generations of evil

generations of evil
of the curse of addiction
the demons of the drugs
the cancer they carry

a curse upon them
many generations
all captive, prisoners
of the same seed

those captive of the demons


we pray for all those
captive of the demons
of the curse of drugs,
of crime, of addiction

we pray for their deliverance
from the chains they carry
that they would be freed
from their curse

with the Christ standing before us – v2


we are stuck, frozen, babbling like Peter
with the risen Christ standing before us
calling us to mission, to service
to take up our cross, our work

overwhelmed in the moment
our minds reeling like Peter
frozen, babbling nonsense
before the living, risen Christ

ours is not to question
to wonder at God’s purpose,
God’s plan for our lives, each moment
ours is to follow, to pick up our cross

with a cup of coffee – v2


a word, a phrase
walking on the beach
early morning, effortless
no time to rest, to sleep

walking barefoot
above the waves,
below the dunes
sand stinging, biting,
in the morning breeze

with a cup of coffee
black, piping hot,
in the ceramic mug
deep fall colors
on its glazed sides

walking barefoot
above the waves
the sand packed, giving
to my earnest strides
