Haunted
We are haunted by the brutal cost of our redemption
Images of the One
Broken for us
Flashing across our waking minds
The blood everywhere
Poured out for us
Communion is a haunting
Remember me

Waiting for Easter
All we have are words
And the grief that overwhelms us
Hope is gone
We saw with our own eyes
Our grief tells us
He is dead
Yet
We have words
We will wait
With our grief by the tomb

I Thirst
I gave it all
My everything
Not one more drop left
Of me to give
Empty
And now
I thirst

I didn’t deserve this
I didn’t plant the seed or bulb
I didn’t tend or care for it properly
It was just there when we moved in
Then the blackberry brambles took over
and one day my fearless sons decided
to clear them out
and oh yeah, I forgot there was a camellia under there
and now look what is happening
grace upon grace
undeserved favor
is smiling on me
with every open bloom on this bush
