Notes About The Poem
Written on August 22, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His Book
It’s the color of November, gray blue
weak as water…
yet water can change the strongest steel,
the sturdiest breath, silenced
by the water’s still, calm gesture…
in laughing swells, tears
like currants,
blistering the surface of azure seas,
growing, rising, surging with energies,
melodies of light, flowing beyond the moment
into the blessings of a song
where hope rises…
all night long, on the verge of wonder
where my heart aches, seeing the waters
flesh against the raw liquid,
blazing like the distance,
where light erases the shadows,
healing all the imaginings, the streams
curving through the rivers,
blessing, settling, reflecting…
the meaning of what begins when October ends,
as November sends her whisper, sighing like Sunday
where the journey ceases to be a burden,
becoming something worthy, a moment He prepares for those
who believe Him, when He says He is bringing…
joy overflowing, living waters, the tides bursting
over the surface of shame and guilt,
leaving a trail of sensitive,
forgiveness that lifts the spirit and embraces eternally
embraces, those who believe
seeing the truth in the rhythm
sunshine bleeding through storms,
shining so all the world can see…
He is the light, the beautiful, the miracle
that agrees… beyond the still waters
flows a love like we’d never be capable of seeing
without the eyes He opened when He rescued us from our nonbelief
our sins, washed away by the lasting peace that He forever leaves…
singing to our spirits, reassuring, redeeming,
saving souls from the worst there is,
a life without the One whose song continues on…
leaving the world with a hope that love sings
while God redeems,
freeing the souls
who believe He is …
everything that means anything
everything that sees… our need,
salvation from the sins that defeat,
freedom from the doubt and despair,
He saves us so we’re forever alive,
forever with the love that abides
when He crushes our pride,
and signs our name in His book of life!
