Superseded

Lives past; so many intertwine

people, places, reinventions of self

all blur into one

any differential is null

False authenticity

the genuine stamp

Not alone there

Albeit, my heart knew better

like a foreign language

heard or read, no comprehension

shake the head, "whatever who cares"

Living dead--foolishness and folly

Superseded

I haven't turned out at all as I expected…

I expected I'd have been six feet under long ago

Not alone there

Thanks be to God

having other plans for me--redemption

Superseded

Very much alive; present day

Messy and dirty, spotless and clean

all blur into one

any differential is null

Authentic Faithfulness

the genuine Stamp

Not alone here

Better knowing my heart, albeit

Language, no longer confused

Hearing but one, universal comprehension

Bow the head, "wherever You lead"

Life abundant--salvation

Superseded

Lest We Forget

Picture Location:  Mercy Spiritual Center

Lord, more and more you show us your love,

at times we struggle to fathom how and why;

  shameful deeds, greed and pride,

  envy and fear, turning from our neighbors—

ultimately, not trusting fully in you.

Divine Lord of all matters;

  universally, earthly, internally

Lest we forget, when we anguish

for whatever reason,

in any number of ways

the true living peace:

“29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” -Matthew 11:29-30

Under HIS Wing

As I am the same person as 20 years ago and more, so is God the same from beginning to now and forever. However, I have changed and grown and do different things and will, yet it's still me. God does also!

I cannot move and flow and grow within and among the Holy Spirit if I am treating God as if the past God is all God is capable of.

The beauty in this Absolute Grace is I need not do or have to do anything. Because I am in Christ it is not something I need concern myself with, He has adopted me! I am His. I am taken up and living under HIS wing--child being tutored and tended!!!

Tornado of The Soul

essence riveting 
depth of depths
so immense
aesthetically pleasing
expansile breath
dropped to my knees 
intoxicating

only known with thee
seen not seemingly
your presence enticing 
silence, softly spoken
alone, comfortably accompanied 

keyed to the lock
prayerfully 
lovingly tucked in 
abiding within the tender eye...

dust engulfed
onlookers, passersby
profess: 
head in the clouds
foolishness
loss of reality...

     tornado of the soul

Rock Bottom

So, you're at rock bottom
you don't say,
I've rented a room there
many times in my day.

You're scared and alone
already
battered and bruised
cannot believe
more being thrown at you.
Refuse to say;
"it could be worse"
looking over your shoulder
makes for more of a curse.

Do I pick up the phone?
Feel it won't matter,
won't matter at all,
sad and depressed,
no one likes that.
Feel it would just be being a bother,
not even sure what to say...

You'll suffer through instead,
head in your hands
crying
shaking
even cold
forgotten all that you know.
Normally can fake it
till you can make it
yeah,
not one of those times, huh.

Been there.
Done that.

I am not going to lie to you
It really does suck,
going to seem like forever
no matter what one says
it will not be enough.
Like you are now made of stone
nothing can get through.

This is a time
when all I can do for you
is have the faith you lack.
Won't go too far
standing ready to have your back--

Knowing:
you are a fighter
damn strong
BELIEVER
you've seen many dark days
dusted off, stood-up.

The clock now stopped...
It is a bitch of a climb
slow 'n steady
don't look down,
God's got you
when you reach the top
my hand will be ready!




For those we wait and pray on.
MAA-S LLAH ;)

Right There

The eyes may be the windows to the soul

don't get me wrong,

I agree

however you want to feel it



Tangible.



What you long for

search for

here

there

everywhere

all the right wrong places



Breastplate.



It exudes

illumines

warmth so grand

you can be thousands of miles

physically away

yet that sucker

is

right there--



Divinity.
