An Attempt at Snarky Poetry....

I Feel Tired

(Sung to I Feel Pretty)

I feel tired, oh so tired

I feel cranky and grumpy and trite 

And I pity

Anyone who talks to me tonight

I feel sluggish oh so sluggish

It's alarming how sluggish I feel

And so hollow

I really don't believe I'm real.

See that tired girl in the mirror there

Who could that tired girl be,

Dark circled eyes

Cracked pale lips 

Messy gray hair

Such a tired me!

I'm exhausted 

And I'm sniping

Hiding in bed would be a great joy

If I don't,

Men with nets they soon will deploy!

Stained

Moon Stained, He Glowed
His spirit alight
In the garden, He paid what was owed
On that still spring night.

Tear stained, He wept
Alone and unafraid
Sacred were the promises to be kept
A sinless sacrifice to be made.

Blood stained, He endured
Straining under the weight of our sins
Drinking of the bitter cup, un-demured
Uniting all men as kin.

Glory stained, He stood
Against the accusing hoard
Crucified, tormented, lots drawn in blood
To provide us a seat around the board.

Water stained, at baptism
We take upon His name
His sacrifice unites the schism
So once stained, one will never be the same.

The Eternal Circle

By His blood I am sanctified

By His works I am edified

By His love I am justified

By my blood He is justified

By my works He is edified

By my love He is sanctified
