All Night Vigil

My prayersgoes out to you tonight,
A prayer for hope, and grace;
I miss your smile, I miss your hugs,
I long to see your face;
The distance come between us
Is really not that far
At least in terms of land and sea -
I know right where you are.

A prayer goes out from me tonight
A prayer of love, and joy
A missed remembrance, tears have shed,
And all about me time is dead,
And all I want is your bright face
Come back to me, come find a place
Where we can write and laugh and talk -
And never ever facebook stalk -
And get our schoolwork done.

A prayer goes out for me tonight
A prayer more desperate still;
A prayer that in this madness I
Will learn to do His will.
I don't know how to listen, or
To sit and just be loved.
But my work and heart and hopes and prayers
Are more now works of love.

Once Dread

Today,
I woke up
For the first time in years,
Not dreading the day.
Well, I did have a test.
And I did not want to leave the comfort
Of my bed.
Some days must be faced.

But today was wholly
Unremarkable, in its
Arrival. Left in the
Past, times forgotten,
Hating what was to come.
It wasn't always dreadful.
Some days it was really great.

Forgiving is hard. And
Lon, long times pass between
Words


And peace.

I do'nt know about peace,
Or forgiveness.
Some things just must be faced.
But today, I can face you,
Knowing things
Are different.

Yet with a kind
of forgivness,
A kind
of peace,
That at least
Is more than other days.
And growing, hopefully.

I pray for you:
Happiness.
Wholeness.
But first, peace.

Happy,
Whole,
Peaceful,
Birthday

Today's Biblical Theology Lecture in a Sonnet

The Glory of God is a blinding light,
Jesus allows men to escape darkness.
How can a person claim to be the truth?
God is showing how He invades humans;
Jesus belongs to God, He is from God,
The door and the gate for His Father's Sheep.
Truly, truly is divine sign language.
The vine is the true way to salvation;
Salvation is Jesus' revealing of God;
Jesus is saying saving is God's thing.
They are one; But what kind of unity?
Essential, of essence? Ethics, of acts?
They're the same, as is function; that's unique!
What is the meanin of these mysteries?
