I walk amid the blessed beauty of
a believer's wind
the ecstasy of my giving
lies in state
life gurgles on
in her own rippling affect
we are troublesome waters
returning to peaceful lakes
disturbing movements
bisecting through
altered states
of being and
entreating
receiving
then receding
the flesh
fights for
and then adamantly against
the wants of the soul
man is an enigma
all unto himself
a creature of many habits
housing
a far greater light
that his darkness external
can not extinguish
nor expel
beauty in our every grace
but consistently soiled by
the sin of the world
and its God who often must
remind us to wash our foul
bodies
with the cleanliness of our spirit
or be denied
the joy that is our one true home
stop a moment
take a breath
and just imagine the joy
that awaits us
returning home again
unspoiled and daring
and into the very being of a Father
who gave us our very own eternal flame
right now we remain
mere closets describing meadows.........
