Cecilia – March 6

Posted on March 7, 2015 by landl30

3.6.2015 [Cecilia]

I sang in the streets

and the mailman

converted me

to sing in the choir

of men and boys.

 

Cecilia sang out

her praises of Jesus

there from her prison

she touches us

still.

Hildegard of Bingen – March 5

Posted on March 5, 2015 by landl30

3.5.2015 [Hildegard of Bingen]

a feather on the

breath of God

you stole away

the day

 

to sail the skies

of heavenly grace

a paver of God’s

ways

 

health and heart

community

all brilliant in

your ways

 

a voice of truth

that freed your

soul, embracing

music’s sway,

 

pray now for us

our hearts to grasp

the wisdom

in your gaze.

3.4.2015        [Jackson Kemper]

open land, no borders,

waiting for vision and

a heart with courage

to go

 

and say, this too

is the Lord’s land

and there are

no others.

Venerable Bede – February 26

Posted on March 2, 2015 by landl30

2.26.2015

my brother Bede

you took the words

and spoke them

through your pen

 

to share the Word

to ope our eyes

to those who

witnessed then.

 

be thou our eyes

our voice our heart

do thou our

innings lend

 

to know the saints

that fought the fight

and won the true

Britain.

stiffness – February 28

Posted on March 1, 2015 by landl30

2.28.2015

stiffness hardens

the hands

that type

 

age creeping

toward a

distance

 

from the vision

of my self

as solid.

poetry, prophecy

God’s voice of

Juan Diego – February 23

Posted on February 24, 2015 by landl30

2.23.2015

Juan Diego you saw

the virgin on the

mountaintop

filling your basket

with roses in her

honor, showing

forth a new faith

for the people,

 

mystical, magical

she called you by

name, and you

in turn taught hers.

 

so the faith spreads.
