We kick rocks down a long, straight gravel road that leads nowhere. A strange, “in-between” place that won’t show up on anybody’s map. We’ve walked about a mile, just talking about nothing. Flies buzz around us, and the ditches on either side of the road blossom with huge swarms of mosquitos. Every so often, … Continue reading Kicking Rocks

On God
Weary of the day that has only just begun. A tough battle we survived and here comes another one. The time spent in the saddle doesn’t seem to yield the requisite wisdom. There’s no quitting so, there’s only one thing left to be done. Put it on God. Only the Lord will let … Continue reading On God
A Child is Born
It is to us a funny thing; Divinity. A more abstract notion we have not entertained. That there would be, like us, but something more. A far beyond, but not unreachable. Perhaps a comfort lost to walls and bonds, for loneliness no longer drives the heart. For fear and subjugation are now become abstract … Continue reading A Child is Born
Saving The World and Me First
Knowing what is right and doing what is right; I don’t think the two ideas could be more different. Sure, I know you’re drowning, but saving you is another matter altogether. It requires me being involved. It requires me being accountable for the outcome. It requires me to relinquish my seat as the … Continue reading Saving The World and Me First
In All Of It
I have 2 eyes that see all ways, always and never languish. I have one tongue that is never done turning my insides in any language. I have loved all and been loved in return. In any moment, I am death come in the morning to everyone some time or other. I have … Continue reading In All Of It
Subtlety
This is forgiveness, such is this bliss. Exposed to the sands and the deeds of my hands. Walked up and down the line with a mind to dig it under, 'til it came upon my mind and I was set afire with wonder. If it is to be, then let it be in me, … Continue reading Subtlety
The Messiah
I was lost in darkness and you sent a light to find me, for I had lost all, gained nothing and fallen, corrupting my soul; until you showed me something I know was the truth of love and all those other things that seemed so far away, that could only dream of. Seeking the … Continue reading The Messiah
Giving It
Gave in one final time. Turning my back on all I've ever been, choosing you, choosing life. Walking away from sickness and pain and I don't feel the same. Take away my mind. Take away me. Break the chains of my sorrow, setting me free. From time to time I have waded deeper … Continue reading Giving It

“The Malcontent” Collection – Concluded
Well folks, I think that wraps up "The Malcontent" collection. Spoiler Alert! - I survived! As you can see, if you have followed to the final piece, it was a return to faith in the spiritual that led me out of the dark place that I was in. This is of course, very common … Continue reading “The Malcontent” Collection – Concluded
That Moment of Supplication
Jesus handed me the bread and said, "This is my Body." Jesus handed me the wine and smiled, "This is my Blood" and then He passed me a new promise, said He loved us all so much. Tempted - He denied the enemy, then He was crucified for me and suffered like no other, … Continue reading That Moment of Supplication
Spiritual Warfare
You know it ain't right, standing on top our your life, looking down on yourself and everyone else. Living on borrowed time and sacred promises, that all that's left is what you can eat, burn and fuck. Ignoring all the signs that you've sold your soul, as that need to feed consumes you whole. … Continue reading Spiritual Warfare
Collide
We never collide straight on. Always in a frantic spin. Never been sustained this long. Make it up and it all goes wrong. Just sitting in on it all. Facing north, heading south. The further we go the smaller it seems, but always larger than life on TV. A second to breathe is what we … Continue reading Collide
The Last Dawn
Conciousness claims another victim, as the dawn's light glints golden off the faces of ancient oppressors. We used to see in black and white until all division was abolished under the ressurrection of what never died. What never was. But will be. We used to feed on fruits of pain and toil. Flesh worked steel, … Continue reading The Last Dawn

Recent events, coinciding with the Easter holiday have found me meditating on thoughts of service and to a greater extent, sacrifice. I would assume that we all think that we understand these ideas.
