Peter Hall Poet Pastoral

Estranged In the Mind

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, 
yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present 
you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— (?Colossians? ?1?:?21-
22? NKJV)


Estranged in the mind
By wicked works
That secure the constant lie
That even though married
We live in separate houses
God and me.

The mind lies
The mind numbs 
The mind screams 
The mind alienates.

But God has not moved
The covenant of promise is the reality 
That overides the mind voice 
Like a lighthouse sword 
Fighting the constant crushing waves
But always wins
Ready for the next tide
The next wave

The mind now one with truth
Married 
Lives in the same house
God and me.
