Here we go again, once more,
Another social spot for posting.
I promise to very little boasting.
No guarantee I'll not be a bore.

When it's time to write, show only the box for text.
With just the cursor, it's easier to know what's next.

What pleasing sounds to the ear, iambic lines,
As heaven and earth and sea show God's designs!

The Week of Work

Nimrod

SJC, Mon, 15 Sep 2025 05:11:56 -0500 from Fresh Tales of my Life (streams)

The week of work begins right now;
The day of worship and rest is over.
To start: in prayer to God I bow:
More of his grace I would discover.

Let's rise again and be mundane,
All plodders we ...
On settled tracks an ancient train
Creaks mindlessly.

If We're Alive

Nimrod

SJC, Sat, 09 Aug 2025 04:16:18 -0500 from Fresh Tales of my Life (streams)

Good morning! If we're alive the morning's good!
Unless you're Job, perhaps, but even then
It's better to be a part of his brotherhood
Than in the grave, unprepared. Amen!

Good morning, one and all and some!
My work is starting, and yours is done,
Or else you’re having your mid-day meal –
We’re scattered ’round this global ball.

This turned into three stanzas, but the first works well here as a stand-alone.

The day holds promise for good, the mind
lags, long in tooth, slow to find
a door, a plan, an idea to pursue.
What drawer holds the mental glue?

The Good

Nimrod

The “good” has many a definition;
So few have much if any notion.
The human mind is warped,
With self is fully absorpt,
Rejects the Sacred exposition.

Out and About

Nimrod

SJC, Thu, 17 Jul 2025 15:30:45 -0500 from Fresh Tales of my Life (streams)

Out and about, and walking;
Thinking hard, no talking ─
An ice cream here, a coffee there:
At what great step am I balking?

The masses love to watch the rich and famous,
A barren soul escaping the growing grayness.

Upon us is the night
And we must seek the Lord
Upon our beds, within our hearts,
With all our soul and might.
