Invocation

Invocation! A plea at wild crossroads Where seen and unseen collide To conjure the face of eternal joy Or invite evolving ephemeral wings of grace To rain on parched spirits Emptying that occupied space held hostage Frozen in anxious pacing ~ Waiting! Welcoming the bliss of serendipity delight – Elation in joyful holy mischief A wink of unexpected blessing – Invitation dressed in supplication – a portal For waves of eternity’s mirth and mercy In prelude begging cozy bliss in prayerful overtures For grinning joy ~ Attentive! An invitation into a pilgrimage of profound hilarity On sacred ground of new delights and laughter From the author of playful sacred ecstasy Invocation to the Master of creation And great gladness at the altar Vested in possibility From a plea at wild crossroads ~ Amen! 10-22-21 Contest: This or That - Invocation Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

Thank you so much Judy! I kept thinking about what I wanted to invoke and God's joy kept sprinting into my thoughts. I love your message about prayer as a choice of "waiting upon the Lord." That is truly the experience of the servant heart. Thank you! Sending you blessings of joy on springs!
