Touching the Devine – #Spirituality #Poetry

[image error]

Feel the Lingering Breath of Day, Caress my skin with Smiling,

Under the Soothing Reassurance of the Golden Setting Sun,

Close my eyes,

Breath is Still and Calm, Sweet Repose Long Sought,

Birdsong fills the Deepening Twilight, Echoes of the Dawn of Time,

Darkness meets my Questing gaze in Emptiness,

Alone,

Draw a deeper breath,

Sweet Tranquility Reaches out,

Brushes her hand across my hurried thoughts and distracted musings,

Resting upon my Upturned cheek

As the Softest Touch of evening Unites with rhythmic breathing,

Deep

Silent

Still

Into the Depths of Quiet Being,

Transposing the chaos of everyday into Harmonious Liturgy,

Heartbeat sounding in my hearing,

Reminder of Precious Life,

Deeper

Quieter

Lingering Longer,

As the Gentle Touch of Your Thoughts finds me,

And Instantly I Smile,

Home

Blessed

Transformed

Time slips through the glass as Union breaks the bonds,

Unfetters the shackles of worry and suppressed fear,

Kisses my Spirit with Peace and Sublime Serenity,

Inward

Placid

Abiding

Hovering Wings of Majesty,

Love Falling like misty rain, Surrounding, Enwrapping, Invigorating,

Catalyst of Untold Alteration, Merging, Joining,

Tears of Quintessential Joy Softly Singing,

Breath

Upward

Return

Refreshed, Renewed in the Lavender Light,

Birdsong fading, Cicadas Droning, Darkness Falling,

Eternity Calling,

Deepest, Cleansing, Stirring Sigh,

Turning my Face Toward the Starlit Sky

In the Presence of all that Truly Shines,

In Moments, Alone,

Touching the Divine.

Who is Christ?

“Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest!” the crowds shouted as Christ triumphantly entered the holy city of Jerusalem for the last time.  Save us, grant us blessing in the highest places.  The Jewish people were a conquered people, they carried the brutal weight of the Romans on their back.  They would be saved.

The whole city shook with the question of, “Who is this?”  Who is this man, fully human yet fully divine?  My question is during Holy Week is who is Christ to you?

What kind of God comes to this world, lives precisely the same way we do, lives a life of radical poverty, heals, teaches and allows the very same people he came to save to turn him over to be beaten, whipped, tortured and crucified?

A God of love does that.  A God that has a radical love for his people, a love that is unheard of and that we can only scratch the surface of.  During this holiest of days, let this question of who Christ is not be far from our hearts and minds.

Poem: “Punctured” (#guestblogger)

For the roots of a tree

is but as long as the branches that reach,

crisscrosses on the black blue sky,

punctured clouds that rain upon you and I

At the Foot of the Cross (#Guest blogger)

 

[image error]

At the foot of the cross, the blood drips down

From the nails in his feet and the thorns in his brow

A crimson pool gathers there on the ground

At the foot of the cross.

There is forgiveness at the foot of the cross

Mercy unending, at such a great cost

Grace everlasting, eternal and free

At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross, my tears pour out

I am free from my fear, free from my doubt

I found a Savior to turn me about

At the foot of the cross

There is forgiveness at the foot of the cross

Mercy unending, at such a great cost

Grace everlasting, eternal and free

At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross, I now kneel in prayer

To my wonderful savior, who died for me there

He has risen to Heaven, and will soon take me there

From the foot of the cross.

There is forgiveness at the foot of the cross

Mercy unending, at such a great cost

Grace everlasting, eternal and free

At the foot of the cross

#FridayFeyDay – Lilting Incantation

[image error]

Lilting Incantation

Of the Spirit Soaring

Rainbow Showers

Downwardly Pouring

Gardens of Whimsy

Built by Design

Never Questioning

Innocent Rhyme

Colours Colliding

Like Prismatic Rain

In Tumbling Song

Joyfully

Again and Again

Gossamer World

Of Intangible Dreams

Playing in my Mind

Of Possibilities Unseen.

I Sing- #Inspirational #Poetry

[image error]

I Sing

When there is Silence

In the Breath of the Shimmering Night.

I Sing

Where there is Calmness

In the Glimmer of Expansive Starlight.

.

[image error]

I Sing

When there is Birdsong

Joyous in its Sweet Calamity.

I Sing

Where there is Spilling Rain

In Gentle Whispers of Tranquility.

I Sing

After the Storm has Broken

In the Crescendo of thunderous Sound.

I Sing

As the Winds twist and bluster

Spinning like a maelstrom round.

.

I Sing

At the foot of the mountain

Gazing up to the Spiraling Heights.

I Sing

When I hear Your Echo,

A Memory of Ancient Delights.
