Notes About The Poem
Written on September 15, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rising
Rising with the sun, she reflects
Grace, for those who simply wait,
Beneath the stars, forever surviving
Grief and doubt, stories of shadows,
Enduring the clouds – though sad, tears bleed
Her distance, her direction, her destiny
Rising with the moon, she wanders
Blessings, for those who hear her spirit,
Whimsical stories, bold as the years
Bursting with poetry, psalms and fears
Gentling the songs, breathless and surreal,
Healing the spirit who is so very sincere
Rising with the trail of ecstatic dew
Abiding in the miracle of sunlight’s hue,
Breathing through the songs, the melodies
Contented by the leaves that rustle, free as water
Rehearsing their meaning, their pretending
To be poured out on the poetry, adoring, soaring.
Rising with the guitar’s grief, hesitant
Like seeds planted by the knowing ache,
Hands burdened with work that never ends,
Hearts hesitant to birth the truth that frees,
Souls who can’t see through the mist that mourns,
Spirits who believe God’s Son has always known
Rising with the marvels of a sing song verse,
Inviting the truly awkward words,
Will forever see through my prayers, to the source?
Will serenity abide when the tears have gone?
Will His love see me through the heavy night?
Will forever be filled with a love fully alive?
Rising, rising, rising… He arose only to remind those
Who believe He is who He says He is
The Maker, the Meaning, the Miracle that reveals
Love beyond our comprehension, love that is His signature
His mark on a lost world, a world who has finally heard…
With Jesus, there is hope of eternity beyond the constant hurt
With Jesus, there is love that means we’ll be free from our sin
Free from the fears, the tears, the years
Before we could see through the shadows of doubt,
Into the wonder of a beautiful that sings light, glowing
In the distance, a writing on hearts who believe He is,
Everything we’ll ever need, everything – if we only believe!
