Pursued

Pursued

He's coming after me

Intent upon destroying

Hopes and daring dreams

With taunts and hurts deploying

That I might finally be

Submitted to a fate

Of his askew creation

Upon the Lord, I wait

The truth, one cannot quell

From Living Waters' well

I quench my searching thirst

The last is now the first

Pray Without Ceasing

Prayers lifted

Prayers heard

Prayers pressing

Prayers heard

Prayers screaming

Prayers heard

God will answer

In His time

Not ours

But in His

Alone.  Prayers

Always, always,

Always heard.

Amen

Regrets!

Regrets!  I regard the snow

Fallen in frigid freeze

Clinging, gripping obstinately

To sub-zero breath and breeze

Yet, invites a welcome stay

To warmth, to hearth; home and heart

Retreat!  Into the sheltering arms

Of the One who won't depart.

This Moment's Breath

This moment's breath

Noted, how and why

The in then out

of air - necessity

Transforms being

Into otherness

Inhale, exhale

Breathing into wholeness.

Amen.

Mary's Heart

"Yes," she said

When angel hailed 

as favored one

"Yes," she said

Knowing the world

Stood against her

"Yes," she said

Soul magnifies

The Lord of Lords

Yes!

Shalom

Shalom

Peace

Wholeness

Completeness

All God wills

All God wants

Unity with Him

Nothing else

Will do

Shalom

I Lay Before You

A teardrop of wax

Shed in the burning

Of flame, aglow

With a yearning

For answered prayer

I lay before You

In the light

All things are new

All is right
