“Strength
of Stones”
cji
8/27/12
Boulders
and huge rocks
sheer
cliffs of granite high
descending
in cascades
breaking
into pieces small
now
but the stones seen
once
mighty now fallen
once
dominating now lost
wherein
once I was young
but
now am I found old
my
strength of youth
the
strength of stones!

Found"

8/31/12
Searching
everywhere known
yet nothing found to be seen
craziness to be all around
shrinking minds and dustbins
coal cars carrying all away
blackness erasing all white
blending into the wood work
searching everywhere shown
yet nothing found to be seen
seeking the impossible possible
costing lives to the invisible
truth simple, plain and clear
yet nothing found able to glean
when searching wisdom lost
ignoring and belittling all!

“Vacuous"
cji
9/1/12
Drifting in the
nothingness
eternal and
unforgiving all
calling in the
space of time
wondering of why
the silence
none to hear or
respond again
wandering alone
and lost
mind without
thought forever
unable to focus or
remember
past and future in
emptiness
vacuous and
unrepentant
drifting without
any feelings
cold and iciness
within!
“Vanquished”
cji
9/1/12
Broken on the
battlefield
swords lost or
cast away
without ammunition
gone
bayonets held at
the throat
vengeance is for
the victors
desolation for
those lost
envy and persecution
found
making one pay the
last coin
giving no
forgiveness eternal
lusting, burning
and maiming
slavery to all who
are today
vanquished from
the field!

No reasoning or

"Wickedly"
cji
9/5/12
Viciously blows the
winds
ice and hail beating
down
gleefully and
wickedly
the evil of men/women
driven by power and
greed
only themselves to
feed
none ever saying,
'amen'
found more
despicably
in their lusts to
drown
limply now are the
winds!
When all is said and
done
wherever men/women go
passing into the
grave
rotting and decaying
away
their will the wicked
stay
their own ending to
pave
never the Celestial
to know
losing all and not
won!
Job 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are amighty in power?
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the
sound of the aorgan.
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and
what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how
oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as achaff
that the storm carrieth away.
19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he arewardeth
him, and he shall know it.
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall adrink
of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when
the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
26 They shall lie down alike in the adust,
and the worms shall cover them.
30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall arepay
him what he hath done?
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and
every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers
there remaineth afalsehood?

"So In
Thought"
cji
9/6/12
Impressions of
another time
escaping into new
space
entering time zones
faraway
heavy destructive
rains fell
flooding and raging
rivers
mind wandering all
about
so in thought lost in
space
remembering a first
date
moments within the
storm
racing into the
fields open
facing towards the
sunlight
feeling the moon's
chill
so in thought I'll
remain
remembering,
forgetting
finding new and the
old
reflections of light
in space!

Majesty"

9/8/12
Profusions of
wonderment surround
the heavens aglow
with brilliance
sunsets and sunrises
magnificent
showing falling stars
to enlighten
comets and asteroids
in design
lightening and
thundering above
terrible in their
majesty of breath
covering and
surrounding earth
giving the air and
the winds all
embracing heavens
view of love
understanding full
obedience
wherein we're allowed
part!

Slopes"

learned
reclining on the
gentle slopes
wherein life is
meaningful
our Savior us
acknowledged
His atonement was for
us
and this day is just
for Him!

9/10/12
Turned away from the

molten steel freezing

Valleys"

9/10/12
Good men to die alone
fields vacantly

abusive and
destructive
forgetting the worthy
abhorring the wicked
worshipping nothing!

day
put aside thy foolish
lusts
take time to reason
out
understanding of
truth
fly by thy wisdom
increase
calling always upon

"The Last Piece
of Glass"
(September 11, 2001)
cji
9/11/12
Amid the rubble and
wreckage
bodies and carnage
all quiet
(dancing and singing
- cheering
3rd world nations and
China)
ignoring human life
and worth
having attracted
without feeling
(celebrating for what
- victory)
weeping widows and
orphans
families and friends
all alone
smiles frozen - space
and time
tears left as ice on
the pond
touching - clutching
- deafly
settled all amid the
past
wherein the child
newborn
budding the infant
flower
movement of the
mariposa
all until silence
only felt
as the last piece of
glass!

Passing into the past
quick
memories so short and
fast
January or February
gone
December hurrying to
come
freezing rains and
icing
no longer the screams
just the silence of

nightmares and
loneliness
wishing one more
smile
a hug and a warm kiss
orphans and the
widows
weep silently each
moment
wherein seeking once
more
to find the last
piece of glass!

Contendeth"

Rebellion and anger

Whirlwind"

9/11/12
Spinning out of

darkness in the room
sleep unwelcome waits

fear and anger as one
fighting all who've
come
out of the whirlwind
winter and cold

"Disowning Judgment"
cji
9/11/12
Forgetting all taught
my mind racing void
learning going away

hardened hearts
without feeling more!

"Sinews of
Stone"
cji
9/11/12
Claiming of strength
theirs
intimidating all

neglecting to be

Iron"
cji
9/12/12
Hardened years in
battles
brittle in the
decaying sun
no longer manned to

silence with

bones of iron strewn
about
future explorers to
wonder
pondering the loss of

softened tears in
battles!

Things"

Wanting to be

"Supplications"
cji
9/12/12
Asking none to
understand
seeking no sorrow of
tears
entering into the
vastness
where dreams merging
old and new
surrounding
then in humble
prayers
making my
supplications
wanting to escape
again
no longer in the
summer
feeling the chill in
air
slowly advancing
again
into the Decembers
there
which all most receive
on bended knees found
asking Father to hear
my humble
supplications!

"What Should
Happen"
cji
9/13/12
Poseidon arising from
the sea
Thor's anger and his
hammer
Zeus and his great
dominion
General Grant and
Washington
Founding Fathers and
all of us
striking awe and fear
once more
yet like impotent
kittens nothing
sending Marines
letting all know
while our weaknesses
show
without preparation
nothing
and all Americans are
sore
or they should be so
thus
harrow our future's
empty gun
lamenting as Satan's
minion
reflections within a
slammer
the USA no longer now
to be:
Yet arising from the
ashes
valiant women and men
bearing arms of the
right
freedom's banner to
hold
no longer quiet but
bold
bringing forward
light
valiant women and men
newly formed from the
ashes;
We know and realized
all
that this wickedness
to end
what should happen
now
against serpent and
cow
we've a message to
send
our strength to fully
recall!

Battle"
cji
9/14/12
We dwell in the past
too often
yet never to forget
the battle
as we age we remember
clear
that which was long
ago done
while the present
loses focus
our minds refuse all
clutter
sacrificing sanity
for rest
accepting common
sense
otherwise confusions
chaos
remembering the
battle oft
softens our fears in
tomorrow
remember in the past
alive
knowing the future
not sure!

"Scales and Pride"

9/14/12
Weighing the
differences
denying the evil
inside
hanging morals/virtue
that there is no
future
the grave is the

nothingness to
nothingness
secure in some false
pride
which denies all
knowledge
turning out the light
of truth
in favor of reckless
youth!

Over-flowing with

boils and scorching

terror
plague and pestilence

Rising"

Nearing the trails

leaving behind all
lost
lingering

Silence encompassing
each
harsh lessons all to

Terrorists crowding
about
hauntingly in fear to

Dust and ashes

victims random

Burning fires
unattended
filling the air
undefended;
Breathing unable to

life ending slowly
true;
Yet many life to
pursue
eternal life known

9/16/12
So much is so unknown
yet promised each to
find
searching and praying
going into the deep
woods
far away and all
alone
seeking what is
needful
then my mortal sleeps
and then all seems
light
my eyes seeth thee
now
extending my hand
towards
yet not yet my time
come
thus in living I know
truth
understanding the
deep
literally Scriptures
true
lovingly and
eternally
that thou knows
me too!
