Giving of the Heart

Oh the high
the buzz
this beautiful weekend was

and then with a large shiny anvil
bam
hits his highness
with no shyness

and God, our valiant Lord,
with a severing sword
changes it all with a word

and his attack
is just that
we parry each blow
until we know
this is our stance

this is how we will handle
this
and that

marital spat
running round and round

finally we are on solid ground
paying off debt
locked hand in hand
no more indebted to this idea by man

but pushing through
to help those we know

be able to give
so others can simply live

all these beautiful things combine
and they are mine
because they are His
no more could I wish
than these beautiful jewels

tools
tattoos on our heart

this... oh what a blessed gift this start

for the giving of the heart.

Life on Repeat

Swirling
swirling
swirling
drop

if only it would all stop
if only I could sleep
if only he would sleep

I am losing it
worse
I am lost
no more my own boss
but completely at a loss

the straw that broke the camels back
feels so much worse than that
as a cascading pile of sticks
that are so thick
and never ending

are finally sending
me to my grave
Lord SAVE
save save save me

this cannot be

I am not me.

Be Gone Toilet Scum!

The toilet beckons
the shower screams

make me clean
make ME    CLEAN!!!!

I lean
and quickly sprint
away from any hint
of understanding
or demanding
and rather say

um....

not

today.

or at least not now
rather write would I
till my sweet little guy cries

sharing his breath with the world
with birds
with the sky
with the grass
with the air

having him near
is being there
being in His sweet presence
My Maker and My Lord
knowing my sweet little one
was made with a Word

made with purpose
beauty
and a mind
to do things of a grand
and intentional kind

and so I sit and contemplate

this space
makes all other tasks late
but makes my heart so full

my school
Mary
and not Martha to be
and in it I am inextricably
for the moment
