Amidst The Noise

I hope too
I do

I hope He
Whispers with stardust 
My name 
Into your heart 

And it swirls and won’t settle
And it stirs your feet
Until you are found

In the calm wind
Of your name
That He whispered 
Into my heart

As I rocked him

All we want
for the ones we love
is for the rock that knocks
them from their tree
to be Ordained
and fit perfectly
in their palm
as they climb their way back up.

May it be just so
for any and all
who hear our prayer.

His Day Job

shame has one bridge from There to my conscience.

Along its journey, stops at God’s House, creeps into His closet and cracks open His coffers.

Now cloaked in stolen righteousness and with plenty to pay the fare, smiles and slithers down the familiar path.

Suddenly stops. Boom. Bang.

A Heavenly Crew with dynamite and diggers, contracted by courage and prayer, posts: Keep Out.

Our Earth

As we consider the Day
This in earnest we say
We wish to go out from the fray
For we know You Are Home

But would it be okay
if we dance for more days
and more with creatures play
and, too, take the long way home?
