Denis Martindale Poems

Both part of God's great Paradise,
I saw them gliding by...
God's two beautiful butterflies
Were there upon the sky...
...

The teacher prayed to God above for wisdom day-by-day,
For only He had perfect love and insights to relay.
The teacher saw the vision come and looked at it amazed,
For it was meant for all not some, yet not a word was phrased.
...

I saw her in a midnight dream,
She read the words I wrote...
She thought my poem quite supreme
And of it soon took note...
...

When God looked down from Heaven's Throne to Job upon the Earth,
God saw Job's faith had fully grown and that this man had worth...
God told the Devil of this man, so righteous and so pure.
God said, 'He does the best he can, almost without a flaw...'
...

It's true that people are like pearls
Each shining in the sun,
To God, they're just like boys and girls
All busy having fun...
...

The risen Lord ascended high, to leave this world behind,
Disciples saw Him in the sky, that memory in each mind...
He told them wait till power came and they were blessed in time,
To preach of Jesus, without shame, with miracles sublime...
...

As wondrous as the stars at night,
That shine so bright and strong,
The precious joy that brings delight
Is that the whale has song.

As wondrous as the stars at night,

What first began with ecstasy continued for a while...
She captured every part of me with each seducing smile...
It's not that she intended this, yet that's how things turned out
And some would say that perfect bliss is what life's all about...
...

The tiger rested, gently laid,
Now in a placid mood,
Until his belly sighed dismayed
In hopes of some fresh food...
