I regularly write poems based on my meditations on the Bible and you can find a selection of these below:
Meditation 619
Everything new begins
with the destruction
of something old
for there is a balance
in the universe
as our stories unfold
and all that fades
is exchanged
for everlasting gold.
Meditation 620
Money has the gift
of deadening thought
where each fresh idea
dies when bought
so all our dancing life
remains uncaught.
Meditation 621
So many voices
in the world
pushing at my ear’s
tender skin
in an attempt
to be heard
when only one voice
is needed
and its final arrival
makes the harsh demands
of every other whisper
faintly absurd.
Meditation 622
To understand the man
look first at his mother
and see how the blood
really flows.
For all of her wrongs
will be multiplied twice
but as for her goodness –
who knows?
