A Midnight Prayer
O’God our God, the God of Day,The God of all unbroken, untouched, Don’t set us crushed, Yet as we pray, as our hearts beat, delivers us from this bittersweet,unyielding, unending, dismay, O’God our God, the God of Day… O’ God our God, The God of Sky,Our God in the deepest darkest hour,Don’t let us cower,Yet as we die,Forgive us what’s

Letter 18: Beloved Peace
Beloved Peace, I stay, beyond “Farewell”,By sorrows, blighted by all princess of hell,I have been mocked by gods, that day I fell,To my dismay, I stay,… in misery, I dwell,In fervent ails, my wails none can foretell;My fragile bone frittered, out of my shell,Beloved Peace, Release me, Utter thine words & tell,Rid me of being,

Letter 17: On the doorway
Behold, my own descent, my abject descent,In Isles I do not know, and lands I cannot reign,from blissful Blessedness, towards bearing of bane,Out of the peace doorway, towards whole humility,To the fullness of futility,& perfect pain,…Fallen without an end.In silent void, broken yet by lament,a bittersweet descent,a prospect, I won’t attain,Behold, my sweet demise,Out of

Letter 16: A Villanelle – Elegy
Forlorn I left, and Life forthwith would cease,Except the endless elegies lamenting in my ears,As I stand bereaved from my sole perpetual peace, At end, There lies no hope or chance to seize,Forever lost all ways to laughs & cheers,For I have left, and Life forthwith would cease, I linger in abject despair, for one

Letter 15: To You, My Peace, My Prayer…
My Prayer;Of utter despair;ceding not, yet interceding,My Prayer; Of meeting you there,Between heart & mind,In all sweetness affined;my prayer; never receding,My Prayer;a promise of full grace & glare,through nights of lament & pleading,That you’ll leave the veil behind,With seeing, gift me: a blind,My Prayer; I’m all conceding,for having lost you mid-air,My Prayer; Thou art most

O’ Be Careful, Me,…
O’ Be Careful, Me—for the Life I seekThose things I chase; they are not free.I must accept, I may seem weak,& yet endure, times dreary—bleak,For the courage, and the will to be! For all I’ve known;What I’ll pursue,of riches, of knowledge, of worldly fame,I’ll deeply rue,In pains, and sighs, and aches, and shame,& of all

Night Talk II
Some days, I wander all the ways, then I recoil—Intently chase, along my ways, my own surrender;This knot, I find my Self forgot, how sweet & tender,Such lasting bearing & forbearing, that trail of toil.The Men I deemed unmanned so as not to spoil,The Man within, who combats sin, in weary splendour,The Man who fights’bove

The gift of the Mendicant
Be good now, be Home..Be good in what you do;Be good for the Other,Be good for you..No matter where you roam:Be good now, be Home.. Towards none, wish ill,Towards none, harbor pain;Towards no other,shall you pile disdain,Beyond all keep this will:Towards none, wish ill… Be Happy now, as you awake,Be happy of all bygone;Be Happy
