Parallel Universes
I’ve heard the words used
Before
Parallel universes
From several books
Those words are torn,
Borrowed
If you please
Also in theories of those
Who do not like to be told
Of a living God
and
only one single universe,
HIS
In old science fiction
Books
If you care to look
Words like the above
Are used
Into this you are welcome
To peruse
In another ancient book
Words are used
If the truth you wish
to persue
It speaks of this life we see
Of this for yourself
You may read
A Bible, ancient &
Holy
Tells Gods story
Of creation from
Nothing
Of all of this
Something
Which surrounds us
But it also speaks
Of what we cannot see
With just physical eyes
It speaks of spirits
Good and bad
& choices to be had
By us
Of angels, demons
A destructive satan
A loving Savior
A Holy God of
Spirit
Of Heaven & hell
In its words it does tell
Of these parallels
Unseen but not unfelt
In your heart,
Spirit,
I think most of us know
It exists
Draw closer to God and
He will draw closer to you
This is the truth
He wants you to know
For certain
He wants to open
The curtain
Between the two
For us these two levels of
Existence
Are the very substance
We are made of
Both physical and
Spiritual
Existing in both
We are clearly told
As a hand fits
Into a glove
The spiritual above
dwells within our
Physical below
More & more
You will become aware
As You let God indwell
Your core essence,
Your very Soul!
So take a look around
It will astound
And should remind
Of how frail this
Physical is
Purpose
People speak of wanting
Purpose to fill their time
Frame of mind
Purpose as written
Within the lines
Of a dictionary means
An act with an intention
Or determination
Another word, purposeful,
means to be meaningful
To move toward one’s goal
God, before all time or even
Before we were created,
Set for us a goal
Determined by just himself
If all truth be told
A relational God set
The goal
For us & Him
An intimacy so close
Relationship with Him
We were meant to be
His friend
What more could a man
Ask
For a purpose
Than to be given
The task
Of being our great
God’s friend!
Yet Created to follow,
Will take you as you are
Dare I say, to be a part
of his entourage,
Holiness, set apart
Remembering the precepts of
His great Heart
So, follow your Living God
Even if the whole world
upon you trods
Fulfill your purpose
Of which a Holy book tells
& follow the path of Christ
Even if it leads thru hell.
Pocket in Your Heart
Place me in a pocket
In your heart
Where I was meant to be
From the very start
Though fear, shame
Humiliation
Made me feel
I did not belong
satan’s lie in that
you’ve shown
The great chambers
And their walls
Within the center of
Your being
Pulsate with the call
Return to me
& I will return to you
Your Spirit cries
Cannot deny
The love throbbing
Within your voice
The greatest love
Man will ever know
Swirling, twirling
thru dark ethers
of a universe
Ends at earth
Within a holy glow
We were created
To live close
So close
To dance within the
Vapors of God's breath
Never meant for us
To be apart
Or ever face a death
But until that death
Or your return
I will willingly bend
my knee and
just wait
No more your love to spurn!
Just Pretend
Close your eyes
& just pretend
Pretend there is
No death
No Physical end
To life as it is
No purpose
For anything
All is just about
What you can see
& touch for now
No hope
If you can believe
This
Then your enemy
Has accomplished
His goal
to cover your eyes
with his deceit
he can even persuade
You to believe
Or feel that even he
Does not exist
There is no great evil
In this world
We are okay
As we are
If this had been
The truth
There would have
Been no use
Or need
For a man to die
On a cross
Heaven sent
Puts a different bent
On our ages old story
To believe in a glory
Temporarily unseen
By human eyes
Someday will rip
Open the skies
Return in full power
Unknown may be
The day or hour
But Christ’s words
Promise it clearly
& for sure!
Still Walk
Still, quiet, slow
Calming
Taking each step
One at a time
A spirit moves
Follows behind
Placing each foot
Firmly
Upon this dusty earth
Peace, stillness
Both given new birth
They are brought to life
Again
Each footstep He takes
Will never be erased
Even in the midst
Of life’s harshly blowing sands
His presence, Himself
This Creator Christ
Walking still among us
Leaving footprints
To follow if you will look
to truly see and trust
So, risk the walk, begin
Put your foot inside
His footsteps left behind
He leaves those promises
Of His Peace to reassure
Those who will struggle
Stay faithful, pure
Unto the very end!
Peace I leave you. My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not be afraid
and do not let your hearts be troubled. John 14:27
Lamb on a Cross
Meat, red, raw
Trembling &
Unprotected by
Skin
Or anything
The man groans
A lamb on a cross
Red meat exposed
To air
& no one there
To seem to care!
Blood gushes
Red & also raw
As demons dance
On the dark ground
Underneath the sounds
Of his groans
They squeal, scream
With delight
The light has been
Quenched
In the sight
Of the whole world!
Or so they think
But this cup He
Must drink
Only for a few hours
Will prove to crush, sink
Hell’s greatest hopes.
As evil flames lick
The base of that cross
The man suspended
In air
Dies
No more earthly cares
Or sighs
For Him.
Praise God!!
The ground trembles
It quakes
A massive stone
Rolls away
The beginning of this
New day
Opens heaven’s gates
For all seeking a better way!
Hell has lost
Christ has won
Heaven’s purest Son!
His obedience poured
Out thru His blood
Ran to ground
Our obedience
Poured out thru
our hearts
A fresh, new start
Every morning to
Mimic our King
Be forgiven thru
The blood of
A lamb on a cross!!
