Best Schrader Poems

I put myself in your hands
You put me in your heart
I ran away from your will
You pursued me with fervor
I dug my heels in against the pain
You washed my bleeding feet
I saw you loved me - I raged
You held me til my tears

A while back I left meaning
At the river bank of seeming
And gathered myself to trust
Dark and light
I learned how to fight
By giving my faith to LOVE

He took me deep and wide
Cleaning all I longed to hide
'Neath the sheath of TRUTH
The fire was roaring
And I began...

Who is that unrecognizable figure
Plagued with such deep sorrow
Without the eternal light
To bring her into the marrow

....bone of my bone
.......flesh of my flesh

Never, in a million moments
Would I have guessed it to be this
Married to my only LOVE
Without a promise of a kiss

....just WORD
.....that creates...

The chord wrapped around his neck
As he was unwilling to pay the penalty of the law
Why should he bow his knee to derelicts
When he had preached against the sin of the fall

She came in looking all cute and coy
She's a girl, I'm a boy...a very...

Love and marriage
Love and marriage
Go together like
A...something and carriage
....cause that rhymes

He loves me
He loves me not
She loves me
But...maybe, not
....cause I don't think I'm lovable

We're going to the chapel
And we're gonna get married
....cause, well, that's what pretty girls do
But...what if I'm not pretty

Johnny and Mary
Sittin' in...

Walking with you
Is a walk on the side of terror
	With gentle breezes tickling your cheek
You can count on faith
To bring you to opportunities feet
	With an empty mouth for the Spirit to speak

I giggle inside when I see Him
I see and follow, take in joy and...

That moment
That perfect moment
Where time became eternal
I saw
I opened my blinded eyes and saw
The expanse of your soul

To reword
To match time stricken words to an eternal glimpse
Absurd

So, I write
I write without reason
Flowing with the ink blotting the page

I ran
I ran around - all around
Into darkened...

I know you are here
My old, friend
Hoovering til I cover
My nakedness
With warmth

What is to bring me comfort
In this life of storm
All this grief
That clings to form

I'm tired, so sleepy
I believe I will rest
Not now my love
I must confess
I can NOT endure your
....truth

Wait...I thought you knew...

I saw the difference you made
To the barrenness of your mother
Then I saw you poke fun at a worker
Who thought you were a good lover
...of sewing seams

I saw you reach out to a man
Who struggled to sit still
Then, I saw you ask another
To provide him...

While traveling along an unfamiliar path
I was caught off guard by your beauty
I stopped the Jeep to get a closer look
But noticed The Master was still on duty

I pondered at your color and fullness
Wondering why you had not yet been enjoyed
But saw Him drawing near...

All of my words are spent
It was words who rent…my soul

I have used them to bleed, need, plead 
My case before those who judge, forcefully nudge, but never budge in the 	presence of 
undying LOVE

No more…NO….MORE….
	I will not take one more step, I will not...

Trudy
Warrior, woman, weathered, well
Sister of Tony, Charlie, Tina, and Kim
Lover of God, people, and growth
Who feels compassion, joy and peace
Who fears failure, leadership, and self
Who would like to see Israel, an ocean, and a cruise ship

She sneaks upon you
When you least expect
Beware, little one
No tolerance of disrespect

She will stand near
Seeing if you will give ear
...but never linger
The moment you perceive
Reject or receive
...unable to linger

Once, maybe twice
TRUTH will come to each
But for those pure in heart
The connection will reach
..................................WISDOM............................

Centered and focused

He walked upon her in the woods
Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin
He didn't question where she was going
But knew where she had been

~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~

He cleaned her carefully
Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief
He dressed her in royal gowns
Daily...

A White Light door
Appeared before me
I stood, unmoving
To hear what I see

The way began to fill
With darkened balls
Swirling, collecting
Particles of the fall

I wanted to lunge forward
Stop the saturation
Instead, I observed
The speedy maturation

When I questioned
I got WORD
DIVINE INSPIRATION
Is what I heard

....absolutely, ABSURD!!!

Religion and culture
Reduced pure power
To...
