Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Mayan ruins still stand watch over the Caribbean Sea. They are ruins, that’s all, no transforming faith, no following today, no god that is still worshiped, no one willing to “provoke the lions” to celebrate the faith, and no God Almighty Creator of the earth and sea…just dead old ruins that iguanas now inhabit watching over the beautiful sea.

Just a couple of poems to share...just like art, they are shared with great trepidation as one reveals inner layers of the soul.

Be Silent!

Manicured lawns can not compare
With designed disorder.
Manufactured silence is a sham
Revealed in Creator’s playfulness.

True silence is active amazement.
Full concentration rendered as love
Returns as a warm breath stirring my soul,
A gentle Father’s hand on my shoulder.

Spirit Filled

Gently applied oil, penetrating comfort brings.
Deepest longing met with warmth.
Fearful doubting crushed by assurance.
Empty wandering filled with Presence.

Like a deep sigh Spirit fills.
Missing parts come out of darkness.
A gentle earth shattering roar.
In the oil…the smell of Jesus.
