I must always
Find myself
Lost
In order
For you
To find me
And bring me
Home
On your shoulders
Rejoicing
In other words
It’s when I think
I’m found
Have all the answers
To everyone’s problems
My trouble begins
I lose my way
I still need you
Every day
To find me
And turn my heart
Towards home

Pass the Peace
Mix in love
Pour on forgiveness
Add the yeast of the Kingdom
Now let it rise!
Choices lie before me
Which path will I choose?
Will I choose a path of faith, hope and love?
Will I take the time to listen?
Will I discern the gravity pulling me?
Will I feel the ancient forces of good and evil?
Will I choose the good?
Will I ask for wisdom in the choosing?
That is my hope
That is my prayer
I’m still learning
I’m still growing

The path of love
Gets tangled at times
With weeds of
Irritations and frustrations.
Addressing the under brush
Clears the way
For the real
Choices to grow
In love again
This garden does not grow
Without my attention.
Planting new seeds
Watering, weeding
And plenty of sunshine
Of course.
What does love need
To grow again
Today?
I must ask myself.
I love how
Love grows love
When I love
My beloved.
Earth Groans
Shakes and foams
Volcanoes spew
Oceans roar
Fire consumes
Chaos in the clouds
Bring destruction
To the land
Why this groaning
This upheaval
When will it cease
And subside
Another kind
Of shaking
A groaning
A fire inside
Each one of us
Is in the making
The treasure in us
Is being
Tried and tested
Extracted
From the clay
Together with creation
There will be a
Revealing
An uncovering of the glory

Living in
Breathing in
Two worlds
Visible and the invisible
Intersecting
Reflecting
Sometimes rejecting
The other
Light and darkness
Competing for
Our allegiance
Our loyalty
And our attention
Choose a path
To love another
Speak a kind word
Comfort a broken heart
Share meal
Pray a prayer
Forgive
The two worlds
Become one
Your kingdom comes
Your will is done

I asked for a tissue
He gave me a handkerchief
I asked for a crumb
He invited me to a feast
I hid my face in shame
Not daring to look at His
Fearing anger
When all the while
His eyes danced
With delight
His arms outstretched
Waiting for me
To come home

We are Unresolved
A discordant note
A work in progress
Something still missing
Wet clay on the wheel
Longing to be complete
This is the time
Between times
When all is given
Yet not all received
On our way
Moving forward
Everyday
Stopping means sinking
Sinking means drowning
Inertia is not our friend
Lord have mercy
Pull us up again
© 2013 Julie Clark
It is painful when I trip
Over my blind spots
They show up this way
In the dark
It is only through
The pain
That they get
My attention
Now I know
It is time to grow
Again
