Long Night

I generally feel the urge to blog about every two or three days, but for the last several days I’ve been silent. There’s a reason. It started with my wife having sharp pains in her side. She, being a tough woman, tried to ignore it and refused to go to the doctor even at my urging. Finally, on Monday she went. To make a long story short, three hours later she was getting prepped for surgery for an emergency appendectomy and I was sitting in the critical care unit waiting room. It was late…

Poem: Etched In Stone

Ongoing studies of Egyptian history

demonstrate lessons can still be learned.

Their oversized achievements were possible,

by having its peoples’ hearts turned…

to the idea of a national identity.

Around the Nile’s life giving source,

the commonality of personal survival

eventually produced an effective workforce.

Since times of Middle Eastern antiquity,

the annual flooding of the coastal plains

created the opportunities to trade away

Poem: Morning Coffee

Morning coffee percolates

beneath my weary eyelids,

as my flesh angrily screams

for its daily stimulant;

scents of French Vanilla

permeate and freshen

the staleness of my kitchen.

Evaluations of the new day

will have to wait until my cup

has been completely emptied…

of its liquid gold.

Poem: Transformation

O Lord, I know in my heart,

that I can be truly transformed

from impure and tainted thinking,

when my spirit is daily reborn.

Cleanse my mind, my thoughts

and raise my eyes unto Thee;

alter my vision regarding…

everything that I may see.

Renew in me a fresh heart;

modify my ungodly behavior;

keep me solely focused on the…

permanent work of my Savior!

Spark my being with the Divine;

rekindle my love of Your Word;

rejuvenate the…
