the seeds within
the shards of the holy
within our husks
the clay of our flesh
God indwelling
a kernel of the Spirit
the fire abiding
deep within
the sparks igniting
our bodies joining
one Spirit merging us
together in love
God bursting the shells
the kernels exploding
a full flowering of
blessings
poured out in love

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my
strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
Habakkuk
3:17-19 (rewritten by me)
17 Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are
empty,
though the fields do
not provide
their bounty, their
harvest,
though the young are
departing
for greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in
Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its
hooves
steady on the Mountain.
