Winds at War The day of eternity is nearly here My destiny ahead, straight and clear. The sun of my fate is in decline, But I know Jesus, He is mine. The winds at war against the sea Like sin battle-tossed within me. A war of the many, with me as one Thank God for the work of Jesus, His…
My Escort and Me (The Believer’s Final Journey) A dancing figure, light and free, moves with virgin liberty. Eyes like moon crystals in the sea, my escort has come for me. An apparition God has sent to calm this fleeting moment. A traveler between life and death, a comforter at one’s last breath. I’m ready for my heavenly flight, pass…
Love – A Poem Love is teardrops running from our eyes. Love is like raindrops falling from the sky, to become streams and rivers that lead to the seas. They merge in the great waters of the oceans, filled with tears of love, emotion, and devotion. God is the ocean; He gathers the teardrops of man, drawn like a magnet…
Fire Eyes Wake: The golden dawn returns over the hills of darkness The sky turns red and burns The forest makes its noises The earth continues its return Rise: The heavens open like a newly torn veil Angels everywhere, covered in mail Bright white garments, saints all around They beckon me, “Come,” without a sound As I rise in spirit,…
Unfailing Waters The road in the kingdom is level—no more hills and valleys Justice dwells in the wilderness Righteousness in the forest. The end of Justice shall be quiet confidence The fruit of righteousness shall be peace In happiness we will sing by unfailing waters When Christ reigns from Jerusalem We shall see the King in His glory and perfect…
Wisdom’s Simplicity Wisdom is brightest in the day-spring of morn; I have inherited the wind’s song. Wisdom shall flourish like a branch in Spring— I drink from wisdom’s fountain. Wisdom in my soul sustains laughter; I shall flourish in His eternal love hereafter. My children—my glory, my children’s children—my crown. The day is done, oh my soul, sleep in peace,…
Words of Stone Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in alcohol and wine? Is it just out of reach ? Is it at the beach? Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in fortune we all seek to find ? Is it with some little honey? Is it really…
Eternal Presence We enter this world with heart and soul We’re here for a while, then called to go. Death is passing through the door That leads us on to evermore Where loved ones patiently wait For our arrival at Heaven’s Gate. Then, we’ll walk together by sacred streams In beauty transcended beyond our dreams Where light and life are…
Sleep Tight In Heaven’s Light If God should beckon with outstretched hand I will be transferred to the promised land He may call my name in sleep some night And I shall wake in heaven’s light — C. S. Craig May 2021
The Glory Chamber The Glory Chamber of God cloudy days portray the glory of God suspended as a covering over the earth. When the clouds release their waters the earth drinks life. — C. S. Craig
That Which is to Come Wolves rush in Eagles swoop down Confusion binds truth Untruth leads the blind. The Restrainer slowly withdraws The way of Anti-Christ prepared Tribulation is just ahead Wickedness rules the day. Come quickly, Lord Jesus—call us out We listen for the trumpet And the thunder of your shout. Amen. — C. S. Craig, Written Sunday September…
The Pride of Disbelief Pride goeth forth to conquer the world But returns to the door and asks for more He who serves others well and says little, merits more Than he who boasts, and clamors at the door Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall—things destined to be Life goes on as time marches on—to eternity But as Christ reigns…
Star-Flier Our fleshly lives are but a flash-fire, doused by Eternal Water. The twilight years prepare our needy soul for destiny in Christ. Soon, the gathering in the sky; flight with angels on high. No longer a world-crier but a star-flier, singing wind-songs in heavenly chorus, praising God forever more. C. S. Craig — July 19, 2020
Silver Brushstrokes Branches stretch reaching out With crooked arms twisted fingers Fearful shadows linger not The forest begins its nightly moves The western twilight fades Into misty-smooth serenity The breath of God becomes the frost That performs its secret ministry Frosted trees form crystal archways Grasses form crystal pendants God with silver brush-strokes Paints the scenic…
Glory Returned to Glory Midday gathered in midnight darkness Sirocco winds brought nimbus clouds, forbidden sun Silence atomic – sins poured out, His awful scream Spiritual separation from The Father, The Spirit Thunderbolts cracked, igniting the heavens The earth stood still, trembling, shaking violently Then the exhale – “Ii is finished!” Three days in the grave, a burst of…
Dreaming Faces Pale horses fly Across the purple twilight Ghost riders in the sky Fade away with the night Phantoms in portals begin to form Fleeting figures, misty places Delusions, til night turns to morn All is well on dreaming faces – C. S. Craig September 19, 2017
Memory Garden The roads of life are sweeter, shared Let us steal away together, if we dare On paths of wonder, and winds of change Timeless moments of life unchained. Each day a road with paths for two We’ll make a memory garden, me and you. We’ll sleep in rose meadows, wild and deep Until away the night time shadows…
Sleepless Weepers If there are any not sleeping If there are any weeping Remember, angels pour out sleep Upon the heads of those who weep They give us dreams As sleep takes wings Good night, good night, sleep tight
The Velvet Night Darkness overcame the day Two lovers embraced Night became endless Boundaries erased Two lovers touching Touching in the velvet night C. S. Craig – May 17, 2017
