Circumcision of the heart
That is what matters most
Not the outside, but the inside
What God’s see, that none might boast
Working hard towards righteousness
Faith can drives us to perform
What God sees, what one believes
Is what will save us through the storm
Faith and trust in everything
We do in every day
Faith in Him, as Abraham
Will pave the crooked Way
We may soon fall and feel a loss
On the seas of life ahead
But Faith assures us we will sail
His spoken Word has said
Circumcision of the heart
That is what matters most
Faith on the inside…Faith in Him
The power of the Holy Ghost!

She has the pull of gravity
Unseen and so encompassing
She enters in a room, I feel
The tides are moving exceedingly
I try to steer, away and stay
An orbit just so far away
But then she comes , my course has changed
And now my life, rearranged
I hear a thunder, a distant storm
Lightning flashes to alarm
But calm is what she conceals
Hard to discern what now is real
I’ve seen that look upon her face
A gentleness, full of Grace
The gravity keeps tugging me
Not knowing when, where I might be

Radiating the beauty of a thousand virgins
Selected for their overwhelming expression of desire
Their eyes, hair, the soft flesh upon their bones
The intrigue of words that might flow from their parted lips
You...representing the glow of a sunrise on a clear dawning day
The freshness of a summer breeze
That has encircled and escaped with the sweetness of the honeysuckle blooms
You have captured the essence of all imagined beauty
Standing there unpretentiously smiling as though to say "pick me"
Knowing that no one could feel worthy of loving you...
You...the amazing creation that must live and exist with this burden of beauty.
Guy McFarland Jennings
2017

There are fools
There are more fools
But I will stand and sing
With all my breath let Praises rise
I value as I sing
What I see, what I behold
No man could now conceive
What God has made and given me
Yes... I do believe!
His Word like thunder shakes my mind
His faithfulness defines
Who He is, love He has
For me and all mankind
Let Wisdom of...Solomon
Pierce the thoughts I have
Let me walk the path of Will
Rejoicing and be glad!

Tonight the wind knocking at the door
Speaks to me as vanished love
As I sit beside the dying fire
Tonight it is an autumn song
In this the shivering house
And I think of days gone by
What remains of our love?
What remains of those lovely days
A photo, an old photo of my youth
What remains of love letters?
Of the April months, of the meetings
A memory that pursues me
Without ceasing
Faded happiness, hair in the wind
Stolen kisses, drifting dreams
What remains of all of that?
A little village, an old bell tower
A well hidden country side
In a cloud a dear countenance
Of my past

A friend is down
A sorrow field
A soldier on his knees
He fought in every tempting place
A weary soul is he
Once strong, a vibrant will
He fought his daily tasks
He did his best, did his time
Which now so quickly passed
Disease that one finds hard to speak
Has caught him now with pain
The man that once towered tall
He hobbles with his cane
Demise of one whom others love
Not easy to perceive
“What can I do, I’ll pray you!”
Oh God, let him believe!
The field of life where flowers grow
Where this world finds it end
Many lie, many cry
Except by faith, risen

Take a walk on a distant beach
Take a look around
One might find a peace once sought
What looking for, there found
The water moves harmonically
The waves, they break with sounds
White noise that can soothe the soul
As though no one’s around
Salt is in the gentle breeze
Peace is in the air
Sands are soft upon the feet
Seems to carry cares
Oh, take me to the ocean
Let me view it’s might
Let feel the sense of seas
It is my real delight
The sun, it shines reflecting
It’s beauty there I see
Take to the ocean where
My soul desires to be

Emma dons her elusive wings
I smile at her parade
She has the look of reality
Never to be afraid
Dashing down the wooded hall
She flys, feet on the ground
Her face exuding bits of joy
Angelic looks abound
Taking them off, an option not
Considered in her mind
She flutters by, like a butterfly
Her wings perfectly aligned
With child like spirit
She swirls and turns
360s in the air!
Moving quickly running pass
In her mystical fanfare...

The full moon lights the darken sky
A moonbeam strikes me, I can lie
I see it, feel it, on my face
If only infinite, I could taste
Always amazed to see the sky
At night my mind, Why, oh why
The Milky Way, the moon, the sun
Wondering how, it all begun
I believe, I know God knew
I would look, As all should do
That I might think, majestic view
He spoke the Word
Life follow through
I praise creation, the beauty I see
From the brilliant skies
To the rolling seas
From mountain peaks
To the valleys below
And faith I have in God I know...

There are so many feelings
And thoughts that fill my mind
Joys, concerns and loves I have
The Wisdom I might I find
Like a fog, confusion comes
Blocking out the warming sun
Trying to find, deep sleep at night
A battle I’ve not won...
I do not fear, I do not cave
But thoughts keep flowing thru
Like waves that come
I toss and turn, I try to swim unto
A place so still
An island where
The water’s clear
The Palm trees sway
The breaking waves
Is all hear
Sounds that sooths the soul
Life is so encompassing
The daylight and the night
Eyes that see, plant seeds
The mind will not lose sight
There are so many feelings
Thoughts that fill my mind
Joys, concerns and loves I have
The Wisdom I might I find
I do not fear, I do not cave
But thoughts keep flowing thru
Like waves that come
I toss and turn, I try to swim unto
A place so still
An island where the water’s clear
The Palm trees sway
The breaking waves Is all hear
Sounds that soothes the soul
That soothes the soul
That soothes the soul

Vibrant colors
Much cooler air
Shorter days marching
As if one should care
Seeking more clothing
Winds fan the drought
Stoking the fire
Smoke swirling about
Darkness comes sooner
A mist becomes fog
Turning towards the fire
Stacking more logs
Silence abundantly
Filling cold ears
Draining the last of
Oktoberfest beers
Fall, October
Gray filled sky
What summer created
No longer defies...

When I was a pirate and roamed the hostile seas
The wooden deck beneath my feet
Was worn by souls like me
Standing at attention to, glimpse a distant shore
Waves would wash the weathered walk
As breaking waves there roared
Storms could shake a strong man’s heart
And drive him hence to drink
The calm returned with a shining sun
To save us from the brink!
Awe, the ocean blue and deep
Beauty intensely defined
Providing all a sense of strength
One otherwise might never find
And as I walk the stable ground
The rocking sea I feel
The movement of the ocean’s roll
My legs cannot conceal
A sailors choice to be at sea
To travel the unknown
Huddled with a daring crew
Decisions that I own...

I once knew a lady seems she lived in a tree
Up so high, she could never see me
Daddy’s sweet money jacked her up so high
She couldn’t see the ground, but she was touching the sky
Being a mother wasn’t in her call
Unless it was a selfie out there for us all
Sweet, so sweet she was as smart as could be
But still she was living so high up in the tree
When falls comes around, it’s the fall time of year
Trees are losing all, that they can bare
Sad so sad, so high maintenance
Better go home with who brought you to the dance
Some say what goes around, comes around one day
And when the wind blows, the trees will sway
There once was a woman who couldn’t live in a shoe
Now she’s a wondering what she will do...

On the edge I see their lights
Shrimpers work their nets at night
Grateful for the calm fall seas
Bring shrimp, I do believe
They take their chances, buy their gas
Work their butt off trying to cast
Down beneath the ocean glass
Hoping that the sources last
Always thought I’d want to be
A shrimper man upon the sea
Just one day and see the haul
Listening to the captain’s call
Now I sit and watch the lights
Drifting off into the nights
A shrimper man in rubber shoes
Working hard...making do
Hard life upon the sea
Catching food for you and me
I’ll never work a shrimper boat
I’ll only watch their lights afloat

The shape of a heart will change, not completely
But seasoned with the passage of time
Some will still love, but others will falter
But all say, it's so hard to find
The way, the walk, the road that one follows
The loving, the giving, the prize
If anyone says that their way was easy
Look close at their life for more lies!
Loving is work
And encompasses the soul
When the youthful years vanish
And the hearts turn old
The trials of a lifetime
memories...regrets
Hands held so tightly,
the mind soon forgets
The shape of a heart
will change, not completely
But seasoned with the passage of time
Some will still love, but others will falter
But all say, it's so hard to find....
