To seek the point in prayer.
Akin to movements in a tribal dance,
Faith is the platform to move and
Rise above what reason knows.
The instrument, the prayer,
And fervent hope are necessary,
Because He first willed it this way,
Woe to me to waste it now.
My well intentioned prayer,
Prayed in charity and purposely,
Is the interceding prayer, Willed,
To effect a change in you.

blood rose on a cream colored marble floor stands to instantiate life and death,
Imperfections, incarnate bleeding in the vicinity of a sacrificial stone altar
colorful but drying bouquet, floored, once fresh and illuminating, dying takes on wrinkled, more fragrant flesh then falls apart, plummeting petals, unkempt, soon to be swept
just one petal for now; I bled for you
imperfect, most far from perfection, striving, sinning, “good” people gathering in the state of being perfected and so let ALL be admitted
humans in faith, clinging to the hope their many transgressions will fall and die here, a petal on the floor, by its color, reminding the few who see it of precious blood once shed so that many may also rise

The blur of my indiscretions shorn away,
Lucidity doesn’t level but lowers
My prospects, thus interrupted, now they
Are directed to one frailer; cowers
The heart, this lovely young woman laid out,
Sylphlike and deranged, bruised red dot welts shout.
I start to seethe, the tentacles of my
Addiction I’ve done very little to fight;
Its tenacity to maraud, rob, ply
Innocence; this pure angelic invite.
God help me! if it is not me to spare,
Give me the strength to save her from this snare!

(although I didn’t quite get it at first)
to be TO BE
sounds like poetry
I am I AM
either TRUTH or sham
to be TO BE
not an entity
I am I AM
way above the man
to be TO BE
ONE NECESSITY
I am I AM
outside the world’s plan
to be TO BE
ONE REALITY
I am I AM
the Lord, Son of Man
to be TO BE
Lord God, Almighty
I am I AM
His Son is the Lamb
to be TO BE
is in Love with me
I am I AM
to Love, I too, can
