Original Christian PoetryLet the light shine by Kai-Anne ClewsGod is like Nature
It pops up everywhere
And even a little bit of it
Can brightened even the worst sadness and despair.
Even under concrete slabs
And serious heavy blocks,
Nature finds all the gaps
To give us Dandelion moon clocks.
Even around penitentiary barbs
Brave vines break in!
With petals and perfume,
To brightened the terrible loneliness,
And lift the deadly gloom.
Try to keep the birds out,

Original Christian PoetryBeloved Daughter of the King by Kai-Anne ClewsOh, my sister, so many sisters,
Throughout the ages,
Oh loveless widow,
Where is your husband?
Oh, orphaned girl,
Where is your father?
You are both widow and orphan,
People spit to say your name,
Or see you, but “Truly,” He said,
“Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering
The Kingdom before you.” This will be to their shame;
Who now hurt you, and swear at you, oh, my sister…

Original Christian PoetryReal Poverty by Kai-Anne ClewsIn becoming aware of my poverty,
That I have not true life or true wealth,
In realizing the authority, that,
Belongs with the Lord alone, Himself.
I then saw the great poverty,
Even in the rich or well bread,
I saw the spiritual malnourishment
So much the worse than the want of bread.
But want of Love is poverty,
The worst kind of violence to slowly starve,
That disfigures the original mortality,
That cares not for others...

Original Christian PoetryLike Uncle Lazarus by Kai-Anne ClewsWhy are the poor so numerous?
Why is this so?
On every corner a hundred hands,
Begging for bread, God knows…
When a poor man reaches out his
Hand, asking for your blessing,
He is actually offering you,
The Kingdom of grace, in his disguise so distressing.
For our loving Lord likes to make reply,
To us for all our actions,
And He rewards us generously,
For providing the poor some satisfaction.
So when the gr...

Original Christian PoetryAbout the Body by Kai-Anne ClewsOh flesh then unrelenting!
Do not put demands to me!
Thou fleshy and gross matter, is
Not fit for eternity.
Is that perchance why you're stubborn,
And tempt me day and night,
Because, oh flesh,
You will not accompany my spirits noble flight?
Bitter flesh, oh lustful glutton,
You are but sensations slave.
Would you lock both body AND soul,
Into the humiliation of the grave?
You really are a brute, oh flesh,
Dull and uncomprehending -
The night of eternity is drawing near,
Allowing less and less reckless spending.
Oh time so limited,
The grey and the lines,

But by bonds of love, tied by His own will.
My Lord was not restrained with rope,
But bound by the blessed and eternal hope.
My Lord, His life, was not forcibly sold,
But He gave His life, for His wayward fold.

Like no other generation has caught,

Bring God down to the level of man,

Sin has got to be done away with,

Original Christian PoetryThe Crossing by Kai-Anne ClewsHe crossed the distant dessert,
He crossed the roaring sea.
He crossed the distances to convert,
To come and set me free.
He crossed time and space for me.
He crossed over into mere flesh,
He crossed over into poverty...
He crossed the straits and yet,
He wasn't cross with me,
For my weakness and my faults.
In fact, He paid my ransom fee,
Paid out of His precious vault.
Then my Savior, my beloved,

Thank you for all that has come about -
Thank you for providing me Faith,

Thank you for my friendships,

And thank you for everything I learnt,
From those less than true.

The gentle mornings in harmony and peace,
Thank you for precious late night coffees,

Those who take their inheritance from Satan,
Inherit the World and its treasures.

And swim in fleshly pleasures.

Zealously avoid pains –

Of living life by gains.

He had a friend who was not blind, but had sight,
With whom he loved his friendly fights…
His name was Faith and as he’d go about,
He would describe what he saw to his good friend Doubt.

Original Christian PoetryThe Lord is with thee By Kai-Anne ClewsIf you met your favorite sports star,
A legend of the court,
Who's sunk more goals than anyone,
A man of a unique sort -
If then at this meeting his mama was also there,
You'd never dream to slander her,
Or sneer at her, you wouldn't dare.
You wouldn't berate the lady,
Because she couldn't score a goal,
Or run as fast, or be athletic,
No, you'd be sincere, I know...
You'd greet her very kindly,
And listen to her speak,
About when her son was little,
And growing into his full physique.
Even the angels spoke to Mary...

A branch can only be bent so long,
And then it can no longer be reshaped,
It grows too thick, it grows too strong,
Its posture fixed and change escaped…
So too with a human soul estranged,
Reaching the obstinacy of sin…
It goes past the point of choosing to change,
To a point where it can no longer begin…
God can forgive any trespass,
Indeed, any sinner need only confess.
But WE can go...

Willpower to choose,
An intellect to understand,
To give consent or to refuse...

A perfect Father to love and encourage.
One who has perfect wisdom,
To lead us out of our barbarism.
One who is perfectly, eternally strong!
Who is totally incapable of leading us wrong!

As deep as the starry abyss,

He makes everything a gag reel,
Keeping Good passive in tight containment...
In a hostile circus tent, dirty with age,
The people laugh despite their chains,
At ever more hurtful, ridiculous spite,
Laughing and howling day and night.
If he keeps you playing,
Demanding distractions,
Like a drunkard swaying,
Unaware of the nooses tightening contractions.
Even the Devils freely admit Christ is king,
Even the damned shrug and say the same thing...
It is not that they do not know,
They know the truth and refuse to slow,

But oh! How we suffer under the gentle caress.

When due to the fatigue of illness,
You realize you are no longer strong.
Nothing humbles you like being,
Actually physically unable to achieve,
The things you could do yesterday,
But now, you can barely breathe.
It strips you of power, it shatters your pride,
You are left to rely upon others
In order to survive...
Needing help just preparing food...
These necessities of existence,
Can make you feel like a fool.

Increasing our awareness.
Every leaf then becomes a workbook,
Every geometry, a teaching,
To scale the mental heights,
To our furthest, most lofty reaching.

These sojourners,
These discoverers of the Universe.

Wrapped up in the fabric

That wisdom of eternity,
Available to all with the aspiration.

Please let this pain cease...
Please, I beg you my Jesus,
Come. Bring me your peace."

While Angels,
Gently gather each one...

And all that caused our mourning,
The reason for every tear,
Will persue us into those waters,
And there, engulfed, will disapear.

Original Christian PoetryThe temptation of St. Francis (A Sunday Story) by Kai-Anne ClewsThe future St. Francis, strong with youth,
Knelt in a small broken chapel, seeking truth
Praying at St. Damien's, he felt his inner world soar,
As Christ spoke to him “Rebuild my Church Francis, go and restore!”
So he started with stone, repairing church walls -
First St. Damiens, then St. Peter's
And to St. Mary of the Angels, he was called.
The ancient church had a history of Angels
That could often be sensed singing and visiting Mary there,
But was long ago abandoned and in tattered disrepair.
With a wild wood surrounding thickly and
Thorn covered brambles overgrowing ever...

So too with the ears, they discern what the subtle world does send -
Of all the beauties of music, and speech on them depend.
To reason, explain, illuminate and show,

The Lenten Lilly is the Daffodil,
Its bright yellow trumpet

Turned as if they sadly bowed,

Of what their infinite Lord allowed.

And could then communicate.

Wherein old foes become one flesh and fighting cease.

Like she’s certain of some grace
She smiles like the sunshine,
The beams stream from her face.
She steps with an uncommon lightness
She faces pain as if –
It all melted in the brightness –
As if everything’s a gift.
Hope that she will pray for you
And bring you forth before the Father,
For your sake she will implore,
And pray for salvation rather.
Thank the Spirit for a faith like hers,
One that’s always striving –
Steadfast in her prayers,
A living one among the dying.

Not even for sharing, given to a wretch like you.”
