Stripped Delusion

Stripped Delusion

It is delusion to rely on a horse for safety,
for all its power it cannot save.-Ps.33:17

1

Contractions of her memories commenced.

Catalogued pictures formerly honey-condensed

rotated quickly rapidly anxieties distresses she heaved

grieving the deceitful steps of ballroom lovers misperceived.

Where did time get a handshake poisoned?

Ordering actors’ guilty meals served to a past tired

of contentious minds winter’s abusive fights confessed

to street corpses in the linens of my life sorrowful alas retired.

2

Pity oh pity, in misery shouted…

Pleading my internal idols retreated

shipping pretty illusions castles amassed

to Sheol whose counsels fallacies my all grilled.

The limping sky screening how valued

my windows of hope have the truth desired

as I modeled Spring away for designers self named

until Gregorian chants my heart to the arms of God transferred.

3

O victorious music! my soul has listened

as you rescued me from the path disgraced

transporting me to adore the Sacrament blessed.

O unworthy me! Like Samuel my archived name called.

O wondrous day! my wastrels washed

my violent manners encouraged glorified.

Anew I walk stroll gracefully fiercely restored

genuinely magnificently as a Lady of virtues clothed.

4

O Summer of life renewed.

Adieu my delusions beloved

Here kneeling in thanksgiving forever stripped

I am of my illusions pour toujours in the ocean drowned

O Shining Mount Sinai, on your ground I stand resurrected

Perceiving the struggles ahead hopeful I am comforted

Dancers of the past my cheek their hands lured

Visions I hold firm of my life transfigured.

Eucharistic Communion

Eucharistic Communion

                 (inspired by Psalm 74:15-17 NJB)

Yearning is my dedicated heart

Only of you, it thirsts day and night

Uniting myself to your awesome wonders.

Revealed are the works of your hands

Everlastingly crafted in the flowery lands

Lavishly displayed in the plants’ greenery

Expressed in the anointed harvest’s delivery

Alegria! Farmers blissfully sing in the markets

Saints joining in celebration from their caskets

Encore creation glories to witness our fervors

Diligently increasing in our organic efforts.

Resuscitated are our once sleepy senses

Intimately united to your joyous promises

Viens Lord Jesus! In quietness us you speak

Enveloping us our baptismal guarantees

Renewed we are glancing at you a peak

Showers of your peace our ills it ceases

Stay in us that we may foretaste eternity

Undividedly testifying of your divinity

Now and all the days of our life to us gifted.

Let your compassion permeate our soul

Instilling in our ways a love for holiness

God of all gods! Heal us from our spoils

Humbly we will walk in your kindness

Triune God, one in three persons!

Forever you, O Holy Trinity, we worship.

In your mercy with true contrition fill us

X-ray my sins and my lips will of you sing

Echoing the traveling waves of the oceans

Distributing the gladness of the angels

Bystanders rejoicing with all the Saints in Heaven

Our carried crosses inspired by the Holy Martyrs

Unreservedly imitating the Immaculate Virgin Mary

Never a beloved one did the Mother of Christ desert

Destroying with her feet the serpents in our life

All generations unendingly hail her, the Mother of God!

Reassured in our Heavenly Queen Mary’s sanctified mantle

In her the temple of the Holy Spirit, we sinners refuge while

Earth reverberate her Wisdom, O Mother of the Eucharist

Sitted at her feet saints have outshined our Lord Jesus Christ

Entrusting this encounter with the mountains to you, O Lord

Admitting I am of your sacramental presence in nature

Restore us from environmental indifference for a holy future

Touched by the sufficiency of your grace in you, O Lord

Heaven earth us will love one another as you love us

Caring for one another striving for a Eucharistic communion

Raised is your majestic divine Charity O Crucified Savior

Enrobed in your merits God the Father shall be consoled

At the mountains’ sight your resurrection will to all be the

Testament of all the apostles preached endured suffered

Extending their faithfulness to your Bride the Church

Despite obstacles both to the body of Christ in its entirety

Since all things came into being through Him with Him

Unapologetically must we answer the call to in Christ

Manifest in our faith through our relationship with

Mainly our closest neighbor ignored mostly necessary

Essential to our daily needs groaning while awaiting the

Return of Christ our support for mutual holy happiness

Winning together the victory over all entanglements

Invitation given us to have dominion over the Holy Trinity

Never ending craftsmanship while boldly moving in

The protection of creation clothed with the Good News

Enwrapped around us apostolically in writing in oral

Resuscitated in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
