How to Praise

How to praise...
Timbrels and drums
Colors of glory
Noise of joy
Laughter, praise, songs
Dancing, drums, cries
Continuous cheers
Pomp, voices, colors, smiles
Echoes of joy, voices on high
Singing, rejoicing
All for His majesty


How to praise...
Silence...
Riveting silence
...And more, cricket wimpers,
Traffic of thoughts
Soliloquoy, sonnetting, stares
Blank stares, million miles,
Metaphorical sunset, Eureka!
Frantic scribbling, plot, imagery
Blazing sunset, rhymes, its all quiet
Our praise is silent
All for His majesty

Patience

Patience sits at the corner
patience is Ugly
Patience is sturdy
Patience is order
patience is a New Coat
Patience, favour finds
Patience is kind
patience is Fault and False
patience is Old Garment
patience is Discarded
patience is Impotent
patience is Disregard


Patience is a virtue
Patience pays patience
Patience is a girdle
Patience keeps faith
patience is Harm
Patience is peace
Patience is pain
Patience is truce
Patience is love and life
Patience is pretence


Patience strives
patience is Chance
Patience calms
Patience is hard to swallow
patience Blames
patience is Hollow
Patience is He
Patience is She
Patience is a call
Patience follows

Loud Thoughts of an Unfaithful Servant

I wonder...
If I defile
Are my tears vile?
For your love so strong
And your mercy throngs
Yet I long question
Your patient hand,
Its likely span
And tary decide
To heavenly side

Almost always...
I plead your mercy
Awing before thee
Wishing a change
Longing courage
To divest time
Time for heavenly climes
To evenly praise
Not set ablaze
Scrolls before perusal

Till date I...
Want the uncapable
Lust the reachable
Yet with scepter's stroke
Struggles are jokes
Embellished with laughter, plagues of laughter
Yes! At the stroke of His scepter
His patience superceeds
And mercy engulfs besotted greed

I know...
That I'm saved
Yet wander and crave
That which was willed
I tilled and toiled and watered desires
Yet unsure to conquer
Doubts mastered by the master
His faith like a righteous preacher
Condemns not before judgment

I've been...
Here and there
Mind juxtaposed
Doubts and desires
His offer and judgment
But like sky of earth
He lords even in my doubtful faith
I behold; He placates
