New year

And my Second annual tip of the first day of the first month of the year is...................................

late.

But none the less.

Never look in an empty room expecting to find yourself.

A poem for those that still read stuff on here.

I can hear a beat outside my room,

The drums are messengers of the coming doom.

The rhythm is simple to those who know it,

But it sounded like death to this now wrestles poet.

It warned the neighboring worriers to stay back,

The drummers ready for a well-planned attack.

Surrounded on all sides, we never moved for weapons,

All that we had was the God from those White man’s Bible Lessons.

We understood we didn’t have to hide,

They had learned that God was on their side.

The worriers circled ’round the camp of the reborn,

Knowing soon many families would morn.

The signal from the chief now came to move in,

A battle with God’s children now would begin.

The Christian camp was in a wide open space,

Not a normal choice for a wartime base.

The drums grew louder, and more joined in,

First around five, now eight or ten.

A loud strong voice cut through the camp,

Just like darkness is pierced by the light of a small lamp.

He sang a native praise song and the tribe repeated,

As soon as the words left their lips they could not be defeated.

“Glory to the One who has shown us the way,

Glory to Christ for the price you did pay.

Your commandments oh Lord we will obey,

Glory to the One who is with us this day.”

And just as the song through the camp did surge,

The chief’s worriers and God’s plan began to converge.

The worshipers at the worriers feet fell,

Not saved from death, but saved from hell.

And even though they had no chance to fight,

They died as martyrs and became that small lamp in the dark shining bright.

And as daylight comes and they become ashamed of what they’ve done,

The worshiper’s prayers were answered when the warriors came to the Son.

Currently Listening Anthem for the Underdog By 12 Stones I like how they do a lot of waltz songs see related

Where has the winter gone?

As The Snow Fades Away.

Snow fell in my yard for the first time today;

Building nondescript and frivolous things as I play.

The white makes me think it’s clean,

Learning the hard way many times makes mom scream.

Castles of ice, and forts of cold,

Asking dad if they could be sold.

The ground is now gone from under me,

And there’s no dirt or grass there left to see.

The second day is not as fun somehow,

The castles and forts to the sun must now bow.

The sun knows that days like yesterday are not for today,

But even in my defiance of time I can't make them to stay.

The wind dies down and it feels like twilight,

And I'm sure now the rule of winter isn’t finite.

Spring comes soon and I am not ready to lose the friends I’ve made,

But someone knows better than me, and he shows me as the snow fades.
