Narrow Road

 

Notes in harmony struggle but 

Climb uneven, mountain footholds.

Chant-like, pitch-perfect expressions,

Overcome. Rooted in routine

And firmly grounded petitions,

The professed postulants’ vocals 

Burst forth, their members taken out 

Of the world to tame sin and sing, 

Reaching heights and elevations where 

Awe, High Power, and Almighty

Are if but only in shadow;

Fear of God is felt less today.

Modern men strive, without God’s name.

To their great peril, they reduce the 

Irreducible. Put behind

Them, they’re free and liberated,

Except from death, which always comes.

The Fearsome Gate, opens from the 

Narrow road where few have traveled.

Trembling, only a few will pass.

Gary Edward Geraci

“Enter by the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who enter that way. How narrow the gate and close the way that leads to life! And few there are who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

You I Seek

 

You I seek, I’m bent on searching,

Book stacks, large, been long collecting,

And nature trips, there’s one this week.

Will I find you in a bubbling creek,

Or in the man passed, traversing?

I make notes with underlining,

Might it stick, the underlying,

But in then out, my mind is weak,

You I seek.

The miracle I’m demanding, 

Is found in a Body, so fitting,

Where God becomes one with the meek

And as Man starts to clearly speak,

That I may have understanding.

You I seek.

Total Solar Eclipse

 

Total eclipse past,

I was in its direct path.

Predictions, perfect;

Nature’s rules, yet, set by God:

Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

‘Till My Face Is Blue

 

Pray this simple prayer:

“God if you’re there give me Grace!”

‘Till my face is blue

In gab, there’s no other Way

To find the Love of your life.
