Elegy
He Is Risen
To a Christian, this day of all days Is the greatest day of all days, Because this day is Resurrection Day. Every language and every tongue shall say, One day, to enter Heaven, Jesus Christ is the only way. I fall to my knees, bow my head, and pray.

The Worth of Jesus' Blood
As You ate the last meal with Your friends, Knowing You only had a few hours until Your life would end, You looked to the friend You knew would betray You. You smiled at him, already forgiving Judas for what he was about to do.

Incubus of Dreams
A long journey or expression Pouring out of the soul and mind A lifetime of tales unwind You suffer and bleed for every word The costs are high, wide, and deep Yet something takes what you can’t keep Knowledge and data collected Used to one’s disadvantage You have no purchase to leverage

Still
You lie on my chest Under the blanket, warm and cozy A comforting presence Our place of mutual slumber Under the blanket, warm and cozy You sleep, deep and still Our place of mutual slumber I strain to hear you breathe You sleep, deep and still No swish, no flick, no big stretch I strain to hear you breathe Still waters are running too deep No swish, no flick, no big stretch Not even when I say your name Still waters are running too deep Why won’t you answer? I peek at you under the blanket Unseeing eyes stare past me I pull up the blanket with a start Not yet! You lie on my chest Under the blanket, growing cold Cold comfort of an empty shell As you dream your endless dream.
