The sleeping giants are awakening
The maelstrom of souls is hastening
The urgency of the hour
Like grasshoppers no longer cower
Works cannot replace relationship –

“here son, here’s 10 dollars,
go to a movie”
“father I need you don’t you need me?”

Relate, not works, alas
the moment is passed
The son is grown
The son I had not known.




epitaph







The wounded bird recovers flight
The darkened soul escapes the night
The eyes of blindness restored to sight
The sleeping giants awake to fight

Truly it was Goliath who was a grasshopper in David’s eyes.


1 The:5:6-9
