Lightning crackles
In the air
Radiant plasma
I’m safe in my lair

The thunder booms
Echoing in the sky
It’s raining torrentially
I let out a sigh

My sisters and I
Dance in the rain
I have a suspicion
It made us insane

I love the fresh smell
After a heavy storm
I smell the lilacs
Now it’s calm

Why did Satan
Fall
He led a
Rebellion
Against God
Many angels
Followed him
But Satan was
An archangel
His mind
And powers
Were so
Advanced
We can’t even
Comprehend
Them
Yet the truth
Is that
He was blinded
By pride
Otherwise
Satan would
Have known
That opposing
God was a
Futile endeavor
Satan knows
His time is
Limited
He wants to
Take
As many souls
As he can go
To hell
He can appear
As an angel
Of light
Satan is the
Deceived
He wants to kill
And destroy
He is
Full of lies
Satan is on
The prowl
Like a hungry
Lion
We must say
To him
“The Lord
rebuke you!”

I built
A log cabin
In the
Rocky Mountains
The first
Winter there
We had
A blizzard
It dropped
Ten feet
Of snow
I exited
My home
With
Snowshoes on
I had my
22 caliber
Marlin rifle
I shot
A plump rabbit
It made
A nice stew
Inside my home
I had a
Pot belly stove
It kept
The temperative
Inside
Nice and warm
I sipped
A cup
Of herbal tea
And read a
Good book
I fell asleep
And dreamed
Of Christmas

At Calvary
Christ bled
He died
In our stead

The God-Man
Came out of love
Man would be lifted
To the heavens above

On the cross
Christ did atone
We must trust
In Him alone

We are saved
By God’s sovereign grace
It is available
To the human race

All who will be saved
The Father gives to the Son
Through Christ alone
We have won

We are chosen by God
Nothing we do
Merits salvation
Those saved are a few

The Holy Spirit
Quickens our soul
We are for whom
The bell does toll

I walk through
Schenley Park
It’s 7 AM
It’s raining
The rain
Is cold
I can see
My breath
Multiple hued
Leaves crunch
Underfoot
I feel
Revitalized
I’m cozy
And warm
In my green
Camofloge
Jacket
I see smoke
Emanating
From chimneys
The smell
Is intoxicating
The damp
Leaves
Have a pleasing
Aroma
Finally
I return home
I sip
A piping hot
Mug of
Pumpkin spice
Latte
I eat a slice
Of pumpkin
Roll
I drift asleep
Dreaming
About
Thanksgiving

In Bethlehem
On one cold morn
Christ the Lord
Was born

Mary was a virgin
So pure and true
The Holy Spirit made
Baby Jesus in her womb anew

Jesus came as fully man and God
Thanks to His incarnation
Man would be able to have
Salvation

We are given the gifts of
Repentance and faith
Regeneration comes first
This God sayeth

A man must be
Born again
We are forgiven
All our sin

No longer are we children
Of Satan
We have God’s image restored
We’re Christ’s handmaiden

So spread the gospel
Near and far
Salvation is in Christ alone
Come just as you are

My parents divorce
Devastated me
From the harsh circumstances
I wanted to flee

Many nights
I cried myself to sleep
The psychological pain
Ran very deep

Why had this happened
The dissolution
Of our nuclear family
It brought me confusion

The tragic loss of my family
Hit me hard
No longer did I want
To play in the yard

Over forty years later
The emotional scars remain
God alone can heal me
This is my desperate refrain

One day, my mind
Will be whole
No more mental trauma
I’ll have peace in my soul

My psychosis
Is complete
I can’t
Be beat

There is madness
In the air
I’ll return
To my lair

As a child, I ran
In the rain
It made me
Insane

I bark
Like a mad dog
I squeal
Like a hog

I am confused
I need help
If you attack me
I will yelp

My life
It is full of joy
I am happily insane
I need a toy
