Cutting while Growing

A kernel of the divine
the seed of God’s love
awakening, from being dormant
rising within me

Cutting while growing
as a shard in my flesh
rising in the new soil
up into the light

not something simple, human
a spark of the divine planted within us
Spirit of the living God
sent to grow within us

a shard in my heart, a seed
our conscience, God’s whisper
a guiding of the Spirit, life
seeking to draw us inward

to a relationship with God
a trust in his provision
leading us to the narrow way
turning from the world

a shard in the heart, growing, that seed
sharp edges, deep meaning
keeping us on the path
if we would follow God’s leading
