Grounded

When you feel like 


You

Are

Flying part/blown apart by (fill in the blank)

Ground yourself in the earth dear heart
Ground yourself in the earth

Lay upon our common rock
Gaze upon our common sky
Breathe in His life/breath

Deeply

Purely

Keenly

Let Him re-form you once again dear heart
Let Him re-form you once again

Feel His life restore/recreate you
Feel His power bare

His wild divine space/place of wonder

He can

He does

He will


Happy Birthday

If you were here

we'd laugh and cry and

share some cake and

a glass of wine and

a knowing glance and

something fried

Happy

Birthday

Darling

I

Miss

You

Dreaming

Your cheek dances like dust upon 

Mine
Gentle in the pre-dawn light

Linger

Silent

Touch and glance suffice to
know and be known

We conspire

Strong in each other
To face the come what may

Waking now
Heaven recalls
I rise reluctant to

Face

The

Day

Thank you for being with me for a wee while dear heart
Thank you for being with me

I miss you
How I miss you

I miss you
How I miss you

Bitter Cup 2.0

Drink the biting cup
Choke and swallow and welcome
its sting

The worthless made worthy in suffering

Bitter made sweet in
the dark desperate despairing dungeon

Fermented
(but not to violent vilified vindictiveness)

Remade

Reborn

New wine
Good wine
Pure

Drink it all
Drink it all
And live

A good Malbec or a nice
Chardonnay maybe
(not out of a box)

Malcontents

The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry 
Proverbs 30:15 (NIV)

Give me 
Give me
Give me
Give me
More
More
More

Said the black hole to the ladle

Give me 
Give me
Give me
Give me
More
More
More

I shall never 
Can never
Be filled

Give me
Give me
Give me
Give me
More
More
More

Said the black hole to the ladle

Give me
Give me
Give me
Give me
More
More
More

I shall never

Can never 

Be filled

Little Muskrat

Courageous amid the cacophonous chorus
Of geese getting ready to flee

The little muskrat swims bravely on
Intent on its purpose
And free

(me too
i smile
me too)

Thanks for sharing your strength 
With me
