Culturally Coloured
Shall I compare
Thee
To an Autumn Day
With fire
tongues licking
a snow kissed
field
or
streams of light
that dance and
curl
a crown of hair
a day laid bare?
If I clothe the
Word
the One
the Three
the sound
is a cultural
colour.
Easter Gift
The Dance Maker
danced with words
like none had
ever heard
before.
How poor are our
translations!
He plucked ears
of corn
and the corns of
years
were plucked
and ears were
opened at His touch.
Each seed He
sowed
produced
"100 fold"
like water
rippling on and on
His life and
work continue strong.
Nothing shall
destroy it.
Though death
pursued Him all the time
this life-line
ladder - "Fresh new wine"
quenched the
fires of hell
licking at His
feet
and made a
bridge
so God and man
could meet.
One Of A Kind
There’s no-one
like me.
I’m one of a
kind
So be kind to
me.
There’s no-one
like you
You’re one of a
kind
So be kind
To yourself.
There’s no-one
like God.
He’s one of a
kind.
He is kind.
Living Art
The seed of
heaven
Shatters
The unmoving
dark
With an infinity
of colours
Creating living
art
Little art
pieces
everyone
different
jig sawed apart
or “Placed”
together
giving the world
a glimpse
of the great
work of art
The Art maker
sculptured flesh
from mud
revealed life in
blood
and exhibited
Love
unlimited.
