no matter

no matter what you feel
no matter what you do
no matter what you see
no matter where you go
never will there be a mile
nor will there be a moment
where Christ is not there
with love that overcomes

but Christ

the world may laugh
the world may scorn
the world may turn away
while your heart is being torn

but Christ will stay
to wipe your tears,
heal your hurts,
your scrapes, your bruises
and show you love
that knows no end

a God come

soft hands caress calloused feet
with this you are cleansed

a gift - a service
a God - a Lord
a Commander - a King
come to wash the dirt away

weary hands carry a heavy cross
with this you are cleansed

a gift - a service
a God - a Lord
a Commander - a King
come to wash the dirt away

I saw a man

I saw a man the other day
pass him by and turn away
saw his need and left without
saw his want and left without

I saw a man the other day
brag of his merciful way
saw his lack and spoke of grace
saw his end and spoke of grace

Disagreeable Leech

slipping into the Body
a carnivorous leech
draining the life
from us

slight scratches on the skin
become a venomous
tool of division
divided by the holy

you disagree with me
I disagree with you
now you have become
the enemy

theological discussion
turns to debate
turns to hate
turns to war

Dear Slave ..... I love this one the most. Thanks for posting these. You have a very creative mind and a heart for Jesus.

I have always gotten positive responses from my poetry.. I have written over 1200 in my life.. but I got rid of a lot of them.. edited some of them.. have about 200 or so now... one of my "unfinished projects" to get them all edited and typed in.

then there's my depressive period:

crucifix
march 2, 1999

you empty my heart
with your words of hate
and bury the depths of me
with their weight
leave me sprawling and
convulsing in my cage
impaled upon the crucifix
of your rage

broken in spirit
October 30, 1999

scars of a battle raged
within the confines
of a weak mind.

and I'm torn in heartache,
broken in spirit.

wounds once again opened
to feel the salt
of my stupidity
and their relentless attack.

and I see the stare of death,
hesitant but willing...

needing that one defining moment
and that one last breath...

Jon Johnston
