Another Poem
I must confess to a bit of an identity crisis.
For the second time in a couple of weeks I have written a poem.
I don’t think of myself as a poet, and both of the poems have just flowed out rather than taken any kind of work.
I am finding that my spirit is finding ways of expressing things that are true but coming from a different part of my brain than I would normally use.
I even feel a bit embarrassed putting them up on the blog but I really want this to be a space that tracks my wrestle with faith and thats what these are about.
So here goes:
It’s you
God I feel scared
Scared I’m going to be hurt
Scared You will go missing
Fearful that I will have to stand,
Stand and be counted,
When the total number is one.
You come to me and gently remind,
Remind me you love me
Remind me that it’s o.k.
Remind me you’ve called me:
And it’s o.k.
You are at work
You don’t stop
You love each and every person
And invite me to the dance.
You invite me, call me,
Hold me, Guide me
So that gradually
Me isn’t the issue……..
It’s you.
You want me to know,
To know deeply
That it’s You,
And everything else is o.k.
Enjoying your blog
