Prayer
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
I pray you to save
Us, Me from myself
And my dark enemy’s
Cruelty & destructive ways
Help me to completely
Let go of this world
My soul & heart to renew
And hold only onto you
Your Light, Your Power,
Your Wonderful Beauty
And Your Strength to restore me to
Yourself and Your Kingdom!
Lord Jesus,
Praise You, Praise You!!
3 Somebody’s
Three on a throne
Living as one
Universe awash in
Their love
Throbbing, pulsating
In beauty
Breathing as one
More life-giving
Than any sun
A Father, Son &
Holy Spirit
Above this world
They reach to lift,
This is their unique gift
For each of us
So we are blessed
During the tests
Of these our lives
To be not loved
By just one
3 hands reach down
toward the violent sounds
of our discord and ugly abuse
of each other
3 somebodies
To conquer this world
Help us transcend
Into their joy & a
Love which never
Ever ends!!
Life’s Creation
A breath above, spoken word sent out
Spreads, thoughts coalesce
Take form, into the
physical
Transcendent wind
Blows from, beginning at the
Gates of power radiating off His face
Images, wishes formed within a Father’s heart
Become concrete, written in
The outlines of energy,
Light
Moving, spinning, coming
Together, suns, planets twirl
Laughing, His pleasure overflows as He looks
Sees how easily ideas become hardened into
A home for creatures, small and
Great, springing into
Reality
Rocks harden, form
From fire, water springs, gurgles,
Rises from the gathered dust of an earth’s
Thickened crust, left stable, solid enough at last
To walk upon, empty at first, but
Waiting, hoping for new
Life
To begin, anticipating
Eager and yearning, for a type of
Joy unknown until His fingers caress the
Surface of its spinning face, revealing, giving
Transforming barrenness, a word given
Trees bend, flowers bloom
Winds
Move across this aspect of
a new world yearning for more creation,
Work of His hands to be revealed upon this exterior façade
Smiles, joy burns within winds being blown by a voice
In power speaks, light expands, a form
Struggles to move then stops, a
Breath
Is gasped, a hand reaches up
Seeking its beginning, from whence it
Came, blindly knowing within it exists not without
The love, power floating overhead, singing within
Songs unheard before this first breath
Taken, started, thought of
Created
Anticipated, hoped for,
Longing to share, releasing all that is good
Into this place made for, created only to be & dance within His Love
I don’t know why, but this writing happens to me at the most inconvenient times, usually around 3:30 or 4:30 in the morning, especially to write a poem. This was written early, early this morning. I hope you enjoy your Sunday morning. Praise God!!
Fire Dancer
Power reaches out
Blazing fingers extend
themselves to the figure
Bent, drooping below
On a floor created
Only for this—the dance
A fingertip extends to
Caress its creation
Giving of itself
To the soon to be
Dancer below
Feet now dipped in fire
The figure raises
Back is straightened
Head held high
Movement flows
and its dance begins
Delighted, Power above,
Enthused in Joy,
sees this life now
Transformed
—caught up in the dance—
Toes burn, ankles turn
To the beat, cadence
Of a music heard, felt
Only above flowing
Through the fingers of fire.
Fire moves from the floor
To burn, entice, enwrap
Legs, now hips, waist bends
In flames, yellow, red
Blue, engulfing upward
To chest, shoulders,
Neck and finally
Head, heart, all burns
Dancing in purest joy
To turn and sweep
Arms raised, head tilted
To see, view, glimpse
Only the One Above
Watching as she twirls
On toes of fire
Living flames of Spirit
May engulf us all
Given half a chance
You too could be
allowed, won’t you join in
live in, breath
within the Dance.
