The reaping of the Divine

Over and over and over
Time after time after time
High ground to the lower
A soul's quest for Divine

The push and shove hustle
The day after day bustle
Fading hope; lost dreams
Caught in worldly extremes

All the devices and vices
Seemingly to be in control
Passer by lust and fantasy
Attempting to rule the soul

Over and over and over
Time after time after time
The sickle meets the sower
In the reaping of the Divine

Fields of Choices

The seats have all been filled
Around a field of lost dreams
100,000 times the sad song
Played on 600 jaded screens

No shouts of jubilation there
Only tears of girls and boys
While they watch the broken
Battered with a silent voice

They will never see tomorrow
Never seeing the light of day
They will witness to the sorrow
Sadness never to  fade away

Sitting there as a quiet prayer
60,000,000 silenced voices
For they wait and pray there
Lamenting fields of choices

His Wonder

Every day I walk alone, a product of the seeds I've sown
I wander...and wonder

How could it all have turned to this, faithless; emptiness
I wander...and wonder

A time ago my faith was strong; living in truth
Hopeless and all alone, I'm calling out to you
For some saving Grace.....or a miracle or two
Can you hear me.....hear me calling out to you

Every day I trust and pray, hoping for a miracle or two
For some saving Grace, I ponder blessings of renewal

I long to wander...live in His wonder
I long to wander...hear His thunder
I long to wander...I long to wander
Wander and wander in His wonder

I was lost; beaten down
Fought to turn it around
I've laughed; I've cried
Through it all...I survived

Walked in many shoes
Searching for direction
The sweetness; the blues
Eye to eye with rejection

Battled forces unknown
Reaped the misery sown
Through the test of time
Fighting hard to survive

I was lost; beaten down
Life is no merry go round
Held on; kept the faith
Absorbed in God's Grace

Once I was just like you
Searching for direction
Seeking mystery of truth
Longing for redemption

Persevere in all you do
Fight on and never quit
Being a fool is never cool
Embrace freedom...Submit

The Race Game

The day our eyes see everyone as the same
Is the day our hearts are removed from the "Race Game"

Anthony Raymond

The Masterpiece

The awesomeness of it all
Limitless . magnificent . wondrous
Beyond comprehension
Masterful simplistic symphony

Graceful heavenly galaxies
Woven celestial displays
Explosions of distant stars
Endless forms of milky ways

The axis of life spinning in time
Creation; the universal destiny
Specs of dust floating through
Man a twinkle of Divine light

Awesome; magnificent symphony
Heavenly; soulful melody
Twinkling through eternity
God created the Masterpiece

Rustic Soup

Here we go again, as many times before

Where we're going; where we've been
Pieces of dreams, chopped to the core

Today is a new day; yesterday long gone

Reach out, take hold; right every wrong
Today is a new day; this is your song

Hearts rejoicing in the present moment

Pieces of dreams; many stories to tell
Life one day at a time is a wishing well

We are a handful of all the spices of life

Blended together for the ultimate flavor
Today and forever for everyone to savor 

Here we go again; time to savor the flavor

Pieces of dreams blended together anew
Savor the flavor...The Savior's "Rustic Soup"
