Anaverse for this February Twenty-ninth

Posted on February 29, 2016February 19, 2016 by Matt

Anaverse for this February Twenty-ninth Four years have passed since the day that never was and I find myself here again, in this unwanted moment, this day that never belonged, this February Twenty-ninth I was running that year full strength, head strong hurtling right off the edge where I remain, still. Sick now, pained now,…

It is Well with My Soul

Posted on December 13, 2015 by Matt

It Is Well With My Soul When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded…

Sanctus Valentinus: Behind the Verse

Posted on February 14, 2015March 1, 2015 by Matt

Oh, Saint, to your name, thereof, My question is this, what is love? On a warm summer’s day, sunshine beaming down on country fields, and in the vibrant spring of my life, many, many years ago now, I once spoke these fateful words to a certain girl I liked very much: I don’t know what…

The Fourth Year

Posted on February 14, 2014April 14, 2014 by Matt

The fourth year is a dead, dry sea of shifting sands. Each week is a new staggering climb to crest a new mountain of sand, to be greeted again by another vicious valley and one more dead, dry sea of shifting sands.

In this picture, too…

Posted on August 1, 2013July 31, 2013 by Matt

In this picture, rustic wood framed, there walk one set of steps, with unsure aim. Within crafted wood, blue can be seen nearly filling the place, cold, sad, serene.

In this brush…

Posted on June 10, 2013July 13, 2013 by Matt

In this brush, quarks flip topsy-turvy, up and down, top to bottom, charming strange electrons and protons to smash together in orbital attraction, while excited gluons carry chaotic forces. In this brush, a quantum world explodes, rockets skyward shattering every stratosphere in its path, and lays bear a crescendo of crashing realities.

In this blue…

Posted on February 14, 2013July 13, 2013 by Matt

In this blue, slate blue, I lay me down my heart. Lost and bewildered am I in this beautiful hue. Here, in this blue, is where I find myself, because I find you.

Sanctus Valentinus

Posted on February 14, 2013July 13, 2013 by Matt

Oh, Saint, can you hear my voice from ages past? I hope against hope because your voice seems to be the last. Oh, Saint, may I ask a question? Will you proffer a suggestion? Oh, Saint, to your name, thereof, My question is this, what is love?

In this hour…

Posted on October 11, 2012October 10, 2012 by Matt

In this hour, I awake to find you awake. I’ve seen you here before, but not from this place. It seems fitting then that I have lost mine. In this hour, even this hour, I know His hand is at work. Out late, up late, I don’t know which – but concern, and troubling jealously,…

vincens ut vinceret (a reponse to Henley’s Invictus)

Posted on September 27, 2012September 25, 2012 by Matt

After writing my own response to William Ernest Henley’s Invictus, I’ve come across some responses to the poem (I admit, I google my own blogs!), including vincens ut vinceret by Will Hapeman. I quite like it. It took largely the same tack as mine, swapping words and phrases, and ended up with a number of…
