Mark Escobar Poet Narrative

A Giant Leap Forward

Having learned to embrace the tough edges,
one really becomes open and strong;
with essential nature of being human
he gets to grip with movements in his heart..

  It’s quite a puzzle when problems arise,
  in difficult situations, he may say good-bye;
  but being made for meaning and wisdom
  God provides and guides him with his light.

Grief and anguish may accompany him
As he paints God’s image in his head
it’s a wide scope of who he is to others;
he, who champions the reason to be human.

  In the early days of one’s youth,
  there’s a barrage of questons about life,
  God, purpose, identity, and sense of belonging
  these things wrap the whole thing
  as a connection issue, a compass to realize.

Perhaps solidarity understands well
without exclusion nor labeling
called to treat well as a gospel cry
it’s s a ‘yes’ response to who we are.

  Like a giant leap forward,
  there’s strong faith and desire;
  as a subject related to his Maker
  with a good heart and love for everyone.
