You ran off and left me

Traveling to your darkest closet,
seeking there the brightest sun
One thing there to pray so private
Another using God to shun
 
Last to know you are not well (now)
Must be told by Santa's elf
Words you use to choose do tell (how)
you can never know your self

On/Off plugs your mental socket
Electric feel your money burning
holes in your vested pocket
Drop down institutes of learning

Followed leads coerced who follow
Die agnostic films top shelf
Focus in this fatal light, Friend
Look, let's drink to better health..

Else, track back through your own vomit
Scary all fat cats meow
Wail evermore who want it,
hungry wolf-gangs gorging chow..

Thankful for Christmas

Eying pie on the window sill
Music from the garden plot
Tasting pumpkin, feel my fill
Orange potatoes steaming hot..

Steel blade to the piney black
Martin Luther cuts his spruce
Deep green branches, red his back
Open fire cooks his goose

Coffee, peace a piece of gold
Banker's hotel holds a room
Cross beam window lit the cold
Solid rock the Lord, assume

His country now the town I'm from
Christmas falls on Labor Day
All ye weary thankful come
A long night's work, a fair day's pay

Donkey grey, sweet Momma sits
Rock along their stony path
Intertwined our story fits
No monolithic Joseph wrath

Mary, Mary Christmas Mom
A carpenter her beau
How beautiful is Bethlehem?
Only God may know..
