may our words be prayers

may our mind be still

to receive what you would have us say

in the tongue we speak andthe words we drum

let us not be concerned

with what who or how many

chose to hear what we say

may our eyes see past these pages

for these are not small poems

on a piece of paperbut these are our offerings

of thought

and God's thought heals

for it corrects error

and brings His peace

let us be your mouth that speak

let us be your fingers that writelet us be our legs that walk

to bring another way to see

for Your vision rests inside

may these prayers

crack the curtain of our brothers mind

may our words seep through the earth

no matter what difference we believewe do not do not make

for Your will is our Joy

and Your Song is our Peace


4/21

and the more we offer

the more we are given

and the more we lovethe more we are loved

and the more we are willing

the more we are shown

and the more do we heal

the more we are healed

what we seek is the truthand that which cannot be changed

is both true and of God

Amen do these laws hold

our safety

Amen even we

were found

May God's blessing continue through us

and heal as deeply as we would be willing

to offer


5/21

eyes melt

the sudden disguise

folded to ash

heavy did it weigh

and for so many miles

did I carry it

solid earth was the only thing

that kept me from sinking

for I knew no longer

what I walked within

hard and cold it was

yet it told me the truth

and did it love me for

it held me upright

in the cold grass did we sit

and breathing for the first time

and the very breath sparked

an old memory

we could not breath without

another

how had we done it alone

for so many miles


6/21

reversing

from fear to love

from alone to welcomed

is our function

the truth cannot be added to

for what rests inside

lies untouchable and perfect

in peace and of love

but this place

cannot be taught of

and so we move to findthe layers of crust around

our own center

for a moment not asking why

not returning to anger

for a Son of God

is victim to nothing other than

their own illusions

once we were given a handand one by one we were

reversed

then hand gave us a sentence

and when we read it aloud we noticed

as we changed what we spoke

so too did we alter what

we saw

welcome to the corridorlong lost and long feared

where the words of the world

will be stripped and laid to rest

on this walkway to the opening

of eyes long closed


7/21

welcome to your undoing

as we are joined by the Holy Spirit

nothing more and nothing less

do we gather together for as His children

if you are somewhere between your darkest

and lightest of moments

let me hold your hand and look in your eyes

as you have done for me

today you will not walk alone my beautiful friend

if you are standing and looking

at a journey you have yet to step upon

not knowing where to begin

may you remember only to ask

for another way to See

that would be enough

to let in the truth of what today

may not be seen


8/21

may our strength always rest

may our strength always rest

in our gentleness

when the world breaks the frail image we walk withinagain and again

lead us to only remember what can be kept

and what has already been lost

in time

when we are not afraid

for the generation of the things we need are given to us

as everything we have ever seemed to have

was nor could ever be oursmay our blessing reach to those who have not yet remembered

they too are the blessed children

who would not be asked to tremble in fear seeking for food and shelter

our strength was not ours

but strongly do we stand in it

and gratefully do we extend it

our gentleness is ours

and we will see it even in thosewho remember it not today

Amen do we sing

Goss


9/21

little onesI have a song for you little ones

Hear me sing. Hear my song

I see my own reflection singing in your eyes.

But this song will not be yoursNor could ever be.

Someday after the world has closed your eyes

You shall awaken and your eyes will blossom

And you will hear a song

That is not mine to sing

But yours.

Shine on beautiful child


10/21

we disperse from the centerinto the angles of the worldsthe tangents, the merging, and the game of life.

some have been gone for so longthe center is all but forgottenthe quiet placethat has no place other than the rememberance.the whirlwinds of my dreamsthe storms of of my emotionsboth beat me and carry melet me return

if the ticking days counting downto the end are what we fear

we have only forgottonwhere the center is

may we return again unto peacestillness and that home

where we are loved and lovefreely

knowing not the count of days or dollarsit cares not for these thingsthe center only smiles immune to all factorsshine beautiful child shine on

and what would i giveand what would we givefearless and unafraid for it is not our place to judgeour worthfor that is of the light from which we are drivenstanding beyond judgement

It who calls for us to shineonly what it would have us giveall we areall we have ever knownin the center when the world was tired and afraidshine beautiful child, shine on


11/21

and of water

may no man return from a walk

and an offer another anything lessthan what they would seek

if the cup returns of something sweet

of something that can be used

and then be gone

it would be of the world

and for this drink a man would charge

for his physical efforts of securing and returning

what he found were required

so must be the case he would offer

a drink for the body

lonely and thirsting

not knowing for what

as only eventual certain death does it

attempt to prevent

while secretly the mind begs death

for it is both the accuser and accused

and hiding safely does it hope to cower from

what it would truly thirst

and so a man comes

offering water with outrageous claims

and most strangely he asks nothing

in return for what he would offer

many men would mock

they would not inspect the water

but laugh at the man

"who would assume such a role above me"

would they say

"I have traveled far and wide upon the earth,


12/21

and no man has found water I have not discovered"

the man does not mock

for he too was once mocked

the man too has learned not to inspect a waterby the face of a man who carries it

but by the cleanliess

of the water

as in his learning so many times

did he seek upon the shore of the river

of his heart within the body of Christ

where all are faceless and minds joined

into the brotherhood of one

he scooped the Holy Water into his cup

but upon his return was not able to keep

the water entirely pure

and even in his attempt

of tiny misguidances would he speak

as the slightest fear remained withheld

and bled into what he carried

as men would judge the body

the body cannot make nor carry, nor even see

Holy water that would fill our hearts

only the mind could join unto peace

and what it would say is so simple

yet the human mind is split

and that which dwells in illusion despises

such a drink

and only the most willing

and only the most brave

and only the most broken from the game of the world

would kneel to seek this water


13/21

if one million men searched for God's peace

and only one returned

this would be enough

for the Word is alive

and truth cannot be alteredonly shared and rejoiced within

and while most men hate those returning

with drink for all

that would be meaningless for one who has thirsted

upon the water of love

we would not know them by their face

we would not know them by their claims

we would not know them by the banners and titles

from which they stood under

we would know them only in our hearts

as they represent our own release from fear

to love

and when we drink they are the ones

smiling so big the earth and all God's children

could seemingly be held within their lips

Amen Christ has brought us the way to thirst

and if we would seek we would find

what can not be removed or replaced

only shared and prospered

may we drink heartily today

from the well of our Father

shared and multiplied by all

who partake

not one wall of difference

not one wall of judgement

would we hold once we recognize its stand


14/21

in the mind of Christ

Amen

these walls

built to hide from truth

and stand apart

would fall

this willingness

as fences tear projecting

falsities for so long

extending from thread

of belief

all things would be given

let us look at our brother

as our greatest gift

for what we want to see in him

will be what we find in ourselves

and one day may we tear the fence down

one link at a timeand choose to bless


15/21

blessed be the day

blessed be the day

we have survived the storm

shelter calling our ancient nameto dwell in safety leaving

the wind and rain behind

leaving our old self

step by step until we again

were renewed in the soft sun

blessed be the day

after so many passingsof storm and seeking shelter

did we become shelter itself

our steps were of kindness

even to those who did not see it

and our walk into the world

made no difference what weather

appeared overhead

blessed be the day

after so many days of healing

did we slowly become one too

who did not just receive

but offer it

for just one day the difficult work

of growth to spirit is resided

and we are used by Christas a vessel shining and attesting

to the innocence of God's children

Amen and in the mind of Christ


16/21

forged in the pit of fire

i dreamed hateful dreams and hid

I saw death too early

I felt abandonment too earlyI drank rivers just to numb the calling

And had too many tears to even cry

In youth I rose like a shelled warrior

to be my savior

strong, insensitive, and alone

one who could be better

than my brother and earn

my own respect

this is my story yet we all have one similar

in this way..

there was a day we saw our brother

as different

and if we kept looking we see that too

meant he must be an enemy

and if we look even more we see

our dream he wished us harmour justification of his death

was not from him but

our own misidentifcation of ourself

there are those of us who have been broken

you may never have known it when you see our faces

but we were broken by what we believed

were the cruel hands of life

and broken again by our mad dreamsof how to be reborn

our blessing was that we were cracked

we wish not this upon any brother

for so many of our kind

did not surrender and survive


17/21

some of the dearest we have ever known

and most gentle among us were the called

who fell to addiction and self hate

but we can speak for thembecause we hold them inside

and we remain another day

as just barely did we become

one who answered

so when you ask why we share

may our small blessing be upon you

it is because we can

blessed to every child released

from fear unto Love

In Christ

Amen


18/21

when love overflows

like an electric current of love

would it travel through this small body

between breath and tearshealing and respite do I try

the seed was planted years ago

and slowly does it bloom until it covers

what once I knew to be my eyes

Christ has come

to set the captives free

and so too have we joined

long ago we sat thirsting only for peace

as our own spirit was in turmoil

finally did we see our brother as ourselves

and peace arrived in deepening degree

yet we knew not of what was next

our own peace was not enough

and we would be used in wayswe never dreamed

but we brace as best we can for the ride

having been taught not to judge

what the Holy Spirit may do through us

only to be joyous in our song within the sea

and when love overflows

we only wish we could hold moreit is like trying to capture the ocean

with a thimble

to offer only a few drops

of what is possible

through the earth does it travel


19/21

unto every child crying alone

our minds are shown their pain even

when we do not want to see anymore

thus we continue onuntil not one brother is left

not one captive wishing freedom

remains in a prison of the mind

in a world of illusions and falsities

when love overflows

do we bow in gratitude

and tears melt the earth

in our gentleness


20/21

to overcome

Amen that what did not break us

made us stronger

yet let us look with our eyes and see

we did not charge out alone into the world

as we once dreamed

to earn a victory

that dream died long ago

for it was exclusive and could not

be shared by our brother thus died

when we realized its futility

Amen that what did not take our last breath

made us remember

we did not charge but huddled

close to the earth did we kneel

and called in the Holy Spirit

we refused no being of love who would surround us

and surround us they didand this we know because we stand before you today

still here

knowing if we stood alone

we would not have survived

to overcome

does not require playing god and attempt control over

what we cannot

for that is a short fuse that somedaystopped working

it is the release and acceptance of the choice

birthing freedom and love,

and the rejection of fear and mad dreams

that we could walk alone and prosper


21/21

when we were at our lowest we saw darkness

others who wish for our demise and a cruel world

that would churn us into nothing other than dust

our brother came like a thief in the night

yet one not coming to take

but give

our brother reminded us the most simple of things

that we somehow had forgotten

and in his face brought the memory

our Father did not forget us

and sent our brother to carry us Home

when we were finally ready to return

one day we will remember the cold walls

as we climbed the stairs in our minds returning

to Christ

we saw a helpless man

who overcame but not alone

and the face of the thief who carried light in a world of darkness

became our tomorrow

with that we seek you

with that we hold you

we both are you and were you

and until you are one of us

we shall never leave you

Amen and in Christ

Goss
