Charis

________

For Ernyn


All these feelings
I can’t name
All this discontent

Too many folks
I could blame
But my back’s still bent

Far too much force
In this wrecking ball
How I long to stand
But I just fall

Oh, how I’m glad
To proclaim
Grace is not nameless

How love is not
Contingent
Upon performance

How God’s embrace
Has a face
Forever pointing

Toward
Us.

Crawling In the Dark

Ever wondered where the title for this blog came from?

Click here for the answer.

Eternity Now

_______________


Heaven,

Your body

Holds no tears.


Earth,

This is

Our reality,


Now.


Eternity

Reaches

Down

With hot coals,


Touches

The tip

Of the tongue


Then

Angels carry

Away

The ashes.


Life

Never

Ends.


As it is

In

Heaven

So shall it be

On earth.
