There is no good art or bad art, just art, but there is good technique and craftsmanship and bad technique and craftsmanship, and mine’s just simply appalling!!
Tangent ramblings at Bodiam Castle (National Trust)
Words
Words that curse,
Words that bless,
The silent mouth sometimes is best.
Words instruct,
Words confuse,
Please, God, tell me which ones to use.
Words are shallow,
Words are deep,
Words in dreams keep me from sleep.
Words in pictures,
Words in scripts,
What will become of sinful lips?
Now the lips of Jesus,
Ah, that’s something else,
Spoke words of hope
To build a house,
The house of God
Not built with stone,
But His blood for sinful lips atoned.
The sun will rise and set today,
“Heaven and earth will pass away,”
But the Word of God will remain for evermore.

I am sixty-four
And there is more,
The past is put to bed.
Retrospection on election
Is doing in my head.
The things I’ve heard and hear again
Are the arguments of the insane,
Makes me feel it’s all in vain
To read the Daily Mail.
T.V, radio all revamped,
Repackaged, resold and overspent
And for what?
War and peace,
There’s no release,
Tut-tutting the graves speak out,
But we don’t hear
And never will,
But I still look to yonder hill
“From whence cometh my help”
I’ve said it before,
You know me well,
Until I’m dead I will want to tell
That Jesus Christ is LORD.

And coming from nowhere it took me to somewhere.
Silently, invisibly,
God worked for me today.
I spoke a prayer into the air,
It travelled through time and space somewhere.
God took the words
And disconnected thoughts,
Made sense of that which was distraught,
Confirming once again
That trust in Jesus Christ was not in
vain
Those forty years ago.
