When Damian Westfall, the Scrivener, speaks of Poems for Earth, he does not call it poetry in the ordinary sense. He calls it revelation. The book, dictated through divine inspiration between September 28 and November 12, 2020, came not as invention but as voice — JAH’s voice, as he testifies, “whispered” into his mind and written down by hand.
What emerged is not a reinterpretation of scripture, but something that feels newly breathed — a gospel in verse, where the Spirit speaks again in rhythm and chant, renewing Christ’s message for a wounded world.
The Voice That Dictates
In The Quodlibet, the Scrivener recounts how JAH commanded him to “take dictation from GOD’S whispering voice or take texts implanted in my brain and write them down.” This same voice shaped Poems for Earth. For forty-six days, it poured through him in steady measure, producing more than five hundred pages of poetic revelation.
Each line carries the clarity of command: verses about love, mercy, justice, and creation’s holiness. This is not a poet crafting stanzas, but a servant recording prophecy — a modern psalmist listening to the Word.
The Gospel Reborn in Poetry
Poems for Earth retells the gospel not in argument but in experience. It calls the reader to live the Yehoshuai way — the path of Christ that joins love, humility, and mercy into one practice of daily life.
The book’s refrain is constant and uncompromising:
“LOVE is patient.
LOVE is kind.
LOVE doesn’t celebrate evil,
LOVE celebrates instead with TRUTH and Goodness.”
These are not verses for recitation but for transformation. Poems for Earth insists that Christ is not confined to history or doctrine; He is alive in every act of mercy, every defense of the poor, every breath of creation kept sacred.
A Creation Redeemed
Beyond its human message, Poems for Earth expands the gospel to include the whole of creation. Its poetry names the rivers, deserts, mountains, and trees as participants in God’s covenant. It envisions redemption not just for humanity but for the earth itself.
This ecological dimension is no afterthought. For Mr. Damian the Scrivener, to love God is to love the world He made. Every verse becomes an act of stewardship, a reminder that creation is sacred and sustained by mercy.
Experiencing Christ Through Verse
Reading Poems for Earth is less like studying theology and more like standing before a living voice. Its rhythm demands to be spoken aloud; its Spirit invites prayer. The Scrivener’s words become a bridge between ancient scripture and the present hour — a reminder that God still speaks, and that His Word still comes in poetry.
For those who feel estranged from religion yet hunger for meaning, Poems for Earth offers a way in. For those weary of institutions yet longing for faith, it offers renewal. It is a gospel that can be felt, breathed, and lived.
A Gospel of Love for the Modern World
In the end, Poems for Earth is exactly what its title suggests: a gospel for this planet, for this moment. It restores Christ’s teaching to the poor and the earthbound, to the brokenhearted and the hopeful. It reminds us that love is not a doctrine but a practice, not a word but a way.
In its pages, Christ walks again as mercy made real.
