Poetry Friday

THE FAITH

The sea so deep and blind The sun, the wild regret The club, the wheel, the mind, O love, aren’t you tired yet?

The blood, the soil, the faith These words you can’t forget Your vow, your holy place O love, aren’t you tired yet?

A cross on every hill A star, a [...]

Poetry Friday

IN SUMMER

Oh, summer has clothed the earth In a cloak from the loom of the sun! And a mantle, too, of the skies’ soft blue, And a belt where the rivers run.

And now for the kiss of the wind, And the touch of the air’s soft hands, With the rest from strife and [...]

Renewal of faith

It’s never been a huge secret that I’m not the biggest fan of this time of year.

At least we’ve got our deal in place, and so [...]

God & Politics

My mother sent me more mom-spam yesterday, this one being a purported re-write of the Preamble of the Constitution, accompanied by a series of articles. Some of the articles are basic pleas to common sense. But one in particular really got my goat.

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s [...]

Video Poetry (Easter Edition)

JOHNNY CASH – PERSONAL JESUS

Your own, personal, Jesus someone to hear your prayers, someone who cares

Your own, personal, Jesus someone to hear your prayers, someone who’s there

Feeling unknown and you’re all alone, flesh and bone, by the telephone, lift up the receiver, i’ll make you a believer

Take second best, put [...]
