Breathless Encounters

There are times, awkward Moments when I question my own feelings My ideas, thoughts, beliefs The way I have been directed and the Way I have lived There are times, difficult Moments when I don’t know the answers My theories, contemplations, hopes The memories that have given me promises Of the light that I seek The wonder felt in a dream Beckoning me, protecting me, telling me All that I have lived for – my faith Is like a raindrop or a embrace Not long and I’ll know His touch The breath of His love Against my naked spirit The kindness that will lift me Through every worry and temptation There are times, tricky Moments when I fail to feel sure, certainty Colors me ambiguous and I wake to A world of dark, dreary death Blackness surrounding my silent wish For purity, praise, prayer – promises of The everlasting grace – hope and glory Songs to enchant and embrace Longings rich and vibrant, whole Like a hallelujah Sung breathlessly, with Anticipation of holy help There are times, obstinate When I’m insecure It is then that faith reminds me Jesus is alive, a light Living inside me, enlightening Delighting, heartening He only desires my trust In His intimate, vibrant Everlasting Love I believe He is alive A burning fire Living inside Where I only desire To be like Him I’m His child And I am not an only child Religion meets spirituality On the edge of His brilliance Embrace Jesus and live On the caress of His spirit Religion or Spirituality Contest Unseeking Seeker May 14, 2021
