9. Quintessential

Ricochet

To bounce about and never hit the mark

Touché

When the Point of the Sword touches the open heart

Truth Speaks One Word

Yet are thousand with the ring

Universal is the Word

One Word One Body

May your tongue

Be the thrust of God Sword

Into the hearts of men

That they will war in their thoughts

To be made fierce in their Faith

Each must be a warrior in this One Faith Alone

Or fall to the fetches of far fallen feign

Faith is the Unconditional Sure Render

Of assent to whole being

All for One & One for All

Make the mettle of God Sword know your soul

To cleave what is fractious from what is whole

Catholic

The Universal Word

No One Can Deny

Ken Ye

Many have faith in their belief

Yet have no belief in Faith

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

My Words Are

Much deeper than they appear on this page

You must struggle

If you would know them in their sage

Too many people

Have gilt their conscience

Armored their soul in jade

And silvered their image of God

That they see only themselves

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Humble Pie

Count your blessings every day

But count not your chickens

Before they’re hatched

Or you may find yourself

Eating Crow

Salvation

Is not by boastful word

For the word of God is Humility

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Plight Of The Humble Be

Humble Be

If you would see

Truth dancing

In The Eye of God

Truth

The Journey

Is from Ego to Echo

Humility is the Path

If you stand in the middle and shout

I Am Saved!

You will never go the distance

"The size of your Ego

Is the exact measurement of the distance

Between your self and God"

Run for your life or you may never finish the race

Truth speaks with the quiet voice of inexorability

Pride yells out Loudly of its tolerance & diversity

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

I Do Believe

"I Believe!"

Is not a saying

It is the fierce struggle

To accept the unbelievable

On faith alone

Faith

Is the Unconditional Surerender

Of Assent to Whole Being

Not the presumptuous declaration of one’s will

The many will see with eyes of gods

Yet few will see in Aye of God

Truth speaks One Word

Yet are thousand with the ring

Ken Ye

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

In The Eye of God

All things are possible with God

That brings all things to the point of simplicity

In simplicity there is no mystery

All you need is the faith of a little child

Truth is what it is

Not what we make of it

Were the words misspelled?

Or were they spelled

That only the eyes of selfless wisdom

Will mete their mean?

And have they been altered by assumption

To intend other than designed?

Truth is deep

These words are written for the deeps of your soul

Not for the shallows of your wants

And must be discerned by the simplest faith

The unconditional surerender

Of assent to whole being

Do you? believe?

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Forsooth

Many would entertain

Saying is believing

But scripture would proclaim

Saying is merely lip service of the horde

For believing is easier said than done

Believing is the fierce struggle

To accept the unbelievable on faith alone

The unconditional surerender

Of assent to whole being

May you be assented by your agon

In seeking Truth

Which is the more difficult path

There will wisdom find you

forsooth:

an archaic word originally meaning 'in truth' but now usually used to express disbelief

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

The Path

Jesus died upon the cross

To save us from ourselves

To accept His Gift

We must relinquish our self

In sacred offering

That we might be fulfilled

We can choose

To be eternally "raptured"

In the aloneness of fractional being

Or we can be eternally fulfilled

In the communion of whole being

The Destination

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Lesson Of The Garden

Truth is Simple

If you seek more

You will find other

Once upon eternity

Man willed to know more than truth

Now he knows other

The endless moment of disunity with God

Time

Relativity

Time without your lover longs forever

While with your lover time is never

May every moment with your lover be timeless

And every time without be forgot

Godward Be

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

True Lies

Truth Lies

In every deceive

The more truthful the lie

The firmer I believe

Verisimilitude

So very similar to

Is the “very smiley tude”

Of Truth…

With a “wink and a smile”

The devil’s fondest tool

I Am Saved! Because!

I so firmly believe!

Truth? or consequences?

The best said plan

By mouth of man

Goes oft astray

Ken Ye

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Pride

Willful Stupidity

Is Man's most notorious success

And his greatest hurdle

To discernment of Truth

Better to swallow your pride than swallow the buffalo

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Beauty Or The Beast

Man In Drag

Would you the Best of Man or the Beast of Man

Time is the creature of Man’s will

The endless moment of disunity with God

The endless drag on

With your Lover time is never

Without your Lover time is ever

For a dragon, existence is forever a drag

A dragon does not live, it merely drags on endlessly

Ware the dragon or the dragon will wear you

Would you the alternity of never ending drag

To which you would dis-pair?

Or would you the eternity of ever laughing life

In which you too would share?

Godward Be

Slay The Dragon

Best of Man

Do You Know Mary?

Quintessential Woman

When Mary comes to your door

Do you tell her there is no room

Or do you let her Inn with you

She bears the Gift of Salvation

To You

Gift Bearer of God

Mother of Eternal Life

Spirit of God

Oh! Mary! Me

That I may issue Your Word

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Tell It To Mary

That you might be fulfilled greater than you ask

The wedding feast of Cana can be likened

To the day we step into eternity

It is our wedding to God

We should come to Mary as vessels empty

Of our finest wine

That she will go to Jesus and apprise Him of our need

Because we honor His Mother with the task

He will command that we be filled to the brim

With the purifying water of His Mercy

And He will work His miracle of transformation

From the humble water

To the most perfect of wines

That we might bring a greater Joy

To the celebration of our arrival

This is the first day of your Eternal Life

Pray the Rosary

As an empty vessel needing to be fulfilled

Mother Mary

Chalice of Devine

Inebriate me

In your GodWine

Who is empty of self shall be fulfilled

Who is full of self shall be fool filled

Self is the gift that must be given

Ere it turn and sour to pride

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

My Milieu

O Lover

Milieu of my poetry

I would be empty of ebullience without You

It is You who makes me overflow

Giving vigor to my thoughts

That I might sow

The fecundity of God Sword in my writ

I Love You

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Tell them: I Am Who Am

Yes!

God Simply Is

Beyond the finite comprehension of Man

The author, purpose, and means of all existence

He incarnated himself into our being

Through the Quintessential Woman

As Jesus, second person of His Trinity

And remains still carnate among us

In flesh and blood as The Holy Eucharist

He cannot be defined

Only divined

God is beyond belief

He must be accepted by faith alone

For He is wilder than your imagination

Ken Ye

∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω ∆ Ω

Call of The Wild

God is wilder than your imagination

Heed the call of His Wild

To set you free

Let not your spirit be tame

Eternity Awaits

When you think of God

It should be with uncontainable excitement

Feel the body tremble

As the mind struggles to compass

His Magnificence

Let God reign in your thoughts

And He will not rein them in

My soul

Is called to ecstasy

That I believe in God

Truth is stranger than fiction

Believe it or not
