Melford's Poetry
Well, I've decided to put my poetry here as well. It is for a very broad audience, so hopefully you will understand. The book of Job is often quite dark and Solomon's Song of Songs is at times quite racey for those who understand what is being said. Hopefully, I will not exceed the Bible in either context, but I am willing to accept that some of my work may be taken down as inappropriate for this forum. For those of you who wish to have non-Christians read my stuff and maybe pique their curiousity, just be sure to tell them that this is a Christian Community, and they shouldn't consider your gesture to be misleading.

The Oath

Centurion to Centurion
The Oath is passed
No false solemnity to denigrate
Cutting deep with meaning
Tradition, yes, but not of such import
As to diminish
Honor
            or
Loyalty
            or
Duty
The words unspoken, the most deep of worth
Desiring
Liberty
            and
Justice
A sacrifice made of the same for others
The watch is long
The burden – grueling
But the King is returning
No one knows when
“Stand Alert, Soldier!”
“Hold Your Post!”
For that is really
Your Oath

The Tears of God

I have touched the Tears of God

Streaming down the face of those who feel His Sorrow

Sorrow for the Children

The Children of God

Like lost sheep, not yet fully knowing

The Voice of the Shepherd

Calling to them

Words of Comfort

Words of Chastisement

Words of Guidance

Words of Encouragement

All in all: The Word

A Voice unheeded

In Sorrow

God's Fingers

Dear Lord, Lay you hand on me,

Not so heavy, that I cannot bear.

Lay your hand on me, and let me see,

The loving way you smooth my hair.

Hands so strong, I cannot resist,

And a touch so gentle, like the morning mist.

Guide me, teach me, poke me, prode me,

Tickle me and throw me, laughing with glee.

Trite Action

I will do as I Can,

I will do as I Must,

But I give it to God,

For in Him do I Trust.

Chapter 13

Compared to the Lord's standard of Love,

I am a pauper, bankrupt in so many ways,

Sure, I am patient, compared to other feeble men,

And I can be kind at times, too.

But envy, yes I have that,

My boasts may be small compared to others, but prideful I am, in truth.

Humble me, and give me satisfaction with my lot.

Teach me Love.
