Monday Memories: Healing Our Divisions

This poem is written as a traditional Sonnet, but it can certainly be read as a prayer.  God’s peace!

Lives pretending to follow a Holy God

Being of the flesh, greater than the spirit

Living as infants in our Lord Jesus Christ

Thirsty for our Father’s love, we shall fear it

 

Life filled with jealousy and quarrelsome times

Behaving outside of our Father’s design

Belonging to the Left, beholding the Right

Only walking with Jesus, should lives align

 

Sowing life’s seeds for a bountiful harvest

Thirsty for true living water and care

This world’s Master Builder brings His hope-filled Grace

Humbling kneeling at the Cross, hear our prayers

 

Only through our Lord Jesus, rests our foundation

Unifying voices throughout this nation

From 1 Corinthians 3:21-23:  “So let no one boast about human leaders.  For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.”

Using personal experiences, a short story writer uses fiction with a dose of reality thrown in.  Creating a character to carry the story forward adds to the vision of any writer.

Forsaken

Running away to nowhere

Sky absent of any joy

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry arrives to destroy

 

Driving along road’s darkness

Sky absent of moonbeam’s light

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry invades every night

 

Fleeing from life’s harsh outcomes

Sky absent of any peace

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry refuses to cease

 

Navigating stormy seas

Sky absent of any stars

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry bleeds from every scar

 

Wasting each forgotten day

Sky absent of all sunlight

Hope feeling forsaken

Worry forever in flight

Indeed . . . there is a faithful and forgiving Light, filled with unseen hope, as found in these verses of Scripture:

Matthew 11:28-30:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
