The unexpected

Unexpectedly,
without warning
the storm broke.
all around me.
Thunder,
lightening,
wind
a deluge.
the desert places,
the dark, oppressive wildernesses,
were drenched
with a soaking rain
With a face streaked with tears,
and eyes wide open,
I saw,
I heard
and I perceived.....
like an infant,
gloriously born into
the unknown.
like a child learning to walk,
and then to run,
dance,
twirl.
Life met me
on a steep track
that I have trod
for too many years.
All my wrestlings
are receding
into yesterdays past.
So unexpected.
so beautiful.
so alive

Yesterday, today and tomorrow

I am aware,
For the first time
In ages,
That
The life that I am in,
Is part of a greater whole.
Whilst yesterday is full,
Inspiration,
Awe,
Grace,
Mercy,
Forgiveness,
Love,
Today is also
And expression
Of presence..
I am not alone.
Tomorrow,
Is formed
Whilst I know it not,
It is still done.
This is beyond me.
Once,
I would've explained it,
I would have wrestled it
To the ground.
Now,
I am simply
Caught up in the mystery
Of knowing
And being known...
Yesterday,
Today,
Tomorrow.

Trust

I wanted to trust,
I wished to surrender,
However,
I struggled with joy and pain,
Restless,
listening
Whilst pleading.
Yet,
All that is inspired in and through us
In some miraculous journey of transcendence,
Is brought into flesh
To come to pass.
Who is this God
Who can speak his plans
Into the hearts of mankind
I am stunned
I am overwhelmingly thankful
For
He is
And therefore
I am
And
We are

I am .. Now

I am breathing,
Deeply,
My heart seems to rise
To a horizon
That was obscured and dim.
There is a familiar call,
That has risen out yesterday past,
And my dulled ears
Have been unstopped.
I am living,
Wildly
My heart seems to beat
To a new tune
That was silent and cold.
There is a new song
That has risen out of melodies past
And my blinded eyes
Have been opened.

Peace

Still dear one,
So loved,
Peace,
Patience,
Let the storm subside.
Breathe,
Life in fullness,
Love
Without regret.
Still dear one,
Tomorrow
Cannot be wrestled
To the ground.
Today is a surrender
To be lived I'm moments
Each graced for you.
Let go,
Surrender,
Sigh slowly
And
Smile.

The sublime

Trust,
Surrender,
Trust.
Awakening,
Promise,
Waiting,
Surrender,
Trust.
Uncertainty,
Intensity,
Loss,
Pain,
Surrender,
Trust.
Tomorrow,
Trust.
Today
Surrender.
