Why God Made The World
The multicolours of the sky
And end of day and birth of new
As to the reason of as to why
The world was created, He then knew
It was for its beauty, as seen here
A dawn / dusk sky of purple hue
Against which a tree silhouette does appear
Much fairer sights to see are few.

A Goddess of Gluttony
She of Rome, she of riches
Indulged in all that she had to hand
And she, until the day she died
To live like so, she planned.
On death , is she to be judged
With greed being her mortal sin
Or gluttony, or something similar
That’s written in the Judgement Book within?
She knew nothing else, a pagan she was
No Apostle gave to her the Bibl [...]
The Praises of My God I Sing
The praises of my God I sing
Who by my side always stands
For when bruised and battered by the world
I’m caressed and comforted by His hands.
Though by me unfelt and unseen
As indeed is His face
I know that touched I have been
By His love and grace.

Temple to a Newer God
On seeing the Orthodox church in the grounds of the Acropolis, I thought how faiths can be passing fancies, and in a future age even Christianity will be a curiosity and an antiquity.
Where once they worshipped Apollo
Zeus, other Gods and Pan
There now stands the Church to the Son of God
Made flesh, and made man.
This land devout, for its fai [...]
Goddess of Weather
A Goddess from the heavens smiles
And on the lands upon
She smiles is basked in the heat
And the light of the shining sun.
This Godess weeps tears of joy
On her worshippers from above
Her tears are the falling rain
As the land is nourished by her love.
When the Godess by mankind is maddened
And the actions of man she does deplore
Its seen by [...]
Eve
Keith Howard, “Desert Eve”
I
“Adam and Eve” (1512-14)Marcantonio Raimondi
In the eyes of Eve was not Evil
But a desire of love for to know,
And the act of Adam was not bad
The act of Love to show.
Nor was the eyes of woman evil
That hold love in their hearts within,
Nor evil are the lusts of men:
Evil are those who cal [...]
Burning Bush (Haiku)
Hills ablaze above
And a burning bush spoke not:
It not being Moses.

Gods Guidance At the Eye of the Storm
Walked where others feared
Only knew after the storm
Which they had weathered.
Guided by the unknown hand
To safety – the hand of God.

Give Glory To The Sabbath Day
Give glory for the Sabbath Day
Set aside for man to pray
And from work for to stay
One day a week
And still enjoy the pay
Each worker does seek
Sabbath conflicts with greed
Fulfills every workers need
To with family stay and feed
Enjoy each other there
And Scripture can retire to read
After the chapel prayer
Men of faith, and of faiths all
S [...]

As Pilgrims
As pilgrims in life we walk alone
Sins committing for which we later atone
Some we confess, other up to which we don’t own
But confess to our God without speaking.
As pilgrims we move in life together
Storms we cause, and storms caused by others we weather
For life is a wind, and man but a feather
That a place of peace on the ground is [...]

Where God Is and Has Been
In nature we see where God has been. In our fellow man, we see where He is still at work. ~Robert Brault
The bird and the bee, everything that we see
The brown and dark earth and the grass that is green
All that is nature, is living and good
Is where we see where God has been
The man that helps another though he not his brother
For h [...]
As Time Passes By
As time passes me by I wonder why
The world is always changing
No pattern seems to stay the same…
Forever rearranging…
Is all this change for the good?
The answer we don’t know.
We must navigate this stormy sea of life…
And time will in time show…
Place your trust the the creator
Who created you – gave you [...]
God Save Us From The Preachers
The preachers came to town
Once a year or so
And from church to church in the parish
To save souls they would go.
They called themselves the mission
We called them other names not to their face
They told us the evils of other faiths
And of our churches sole grace
How only through ours we could have salvation
To frequent others was a sin
And e [...]
God Baking, Mankind He Made
When God made man some clay He did take
And set in the oven of earth for to bake
So that a perfect man for this world to make
And in it to dwell
The first came out, it was black
So God turned down the heat when he put the mould back
As He thought He burned it, and hadn’t the knack
To make mankind well
The next it came out: oh, what a si [...]
Once There Dwelt A Scotsman
Once there lived a Scotsman
Whose years nobody knew
Who was seen by all in town
And known by very few.
For men, for loners such as he
Were left that way… alone…
Scorn and pity and indifference
By the townspeople to him was shown.
This Scotsman was nobody
None knew from where he came
Bar the obvious. from Scotland…
Few even k [...]
