Memory is a fiction – v14

What we believe we know

we are absolutely certain

our history, the moments

the events of our lives

but it is a lie we tell ourselves

for memory is a fiction

a creation of the now

We recast our memories

our history to our purpose

how we feel now, this moment

reshaping the fabric of our past

into a whole new creation

for memory is a fiction

an edifice of the now

Mile Marker 19 – v7

I drove by the spot again

That fateful piece of highway

Today, this afternoon.

Where you lost control,

Where fate found you

Tired, and unprepared

For eternity to call you.

What went through your mind

That night in winter,

That split second of time?

Was it anger, surprise, fear

Or were you asleep,

Unaware that the ice

Held your destiny?

Did you try to steer

To navigate on the pavement?

Did the wheel respond on the ice

Or was that the spell on you

A curse in the night

For being there at all

On that holiday for lovers?

protecting my weak flame

God’s hand protecting

keeping me in this season

protecting my weak flame

my doubts, my fears within me

cupped from the wind

feeding it with oil

God working out his plan

if I would only let Him

He will bring justice to the world

He will bring justice to the world

or each one of us, acting as God’s servants

God’s agents in this life,

a message to the world

God will balance the scales

or we will in this time

seeking justice for the least

compassion to the lost

loving all whom we meet

God’s agents in this life,

a message to the world

All Talk

a fear hidden

tamped down, buried

that all of this is fake

all talk, no action

that God must be crying

by all we do not do

speaking out for justice

but that is all we do

open up your hearts

find a way to give

offer hospitality

to those on your path

to those seeking comfort

those alone in this world

offer loving kindness

while you walk this earth

a pasture for lost sheep

a hospital for those sick

a half-way house for those in prison

a pasture for lost sheep

who are yet seeking the Shepherd

a home for those searching

seeking love, connection

wanting to belong, to be completed

within the family
