“The Lazarus Heart”



In the moment 
time stops:
suspended; seen
in solitary confinement
the heart of a soul
silent light weighted 
in the dark, rebellious
is the meaning of a name
Mary waits four days

Or settle for a shortcut?
Coaches' scuttlebutt

Execute the steal 
Professing rather than real
The truth to conceal

Blessing progeny
Highlights God's sovereignty
Not autonomy

Man's wisdom swaggers
'Til adversity staggers

When self-righteousness rules them
Worthless...

OH

It is her…she…who parades around in a crown of glory
Compassionately hearing the abused one’s wounded story
Her smile, yes, it is that

Why am I such a dusty window
For your light to shine through?
Why am I just a tiny star
In a sky already blue?
Why do I offer everything
With my heart closed like a fist?

In the passage of time, my love has grown old without you,
A fragile flower, aching for the touch of morning dew.

Greater Consciousness
08/17/2015

And the kind of world it would bring?

My insight of what would come about
Probably is sorely lacking...

It wasn’t the life she wanted.
This life drained the light from her eyes,
Turning them to deep gray circles,
Her voice lost its tone,
She lost herself.
