Pool or Chess – v2

He prowled the room

Around the table

Intent, certain

Focused, efficient

Body bent, contorted

To make this shot

and the next, already planned

from angle and motion,

just enough, push,

to sink it, another,

Be ready

A miscue, a pause

to think, a sip of the bourbon

lick the new butt from the pack

light the spark

feel the heat, alive,

the new-smoke licking his face

Laugh for effect

Through affable eyes

Work the table

in syncopation

Ball on ball

does it really matter

Smoke and music

Lean into the glass

Slide down the throat

Smile, deep

Laugh at the banter

A Game, not so important

but for him, a challenge

a test of will, control where he can

Easy on his feet and in a crowd

Working the room, his eyes,

as he does, everyman and friend

comfortable confidante

Eight ball in corner pocket

… Sweet

to share Christ

wearing Christ

the cross, the symbol

to share Christ

our witness

wearing Christ

out in the open

needing to be faithful

to truly be

a light to the nations

a beacon, God’s promise

a message of love

in this world

wearing Christ

not a fashion statement

offering love

as he showed us

sapping the cross

wicking the Spirit

sapping the cross

removing some of its power

when we act this way

wearing the cross of Jesus

but acting as the world does

not conformed to the Spirit

held by the world

In Human Form – v3

Stepping down from heaven

into a human womb

The eternal a baby

the infinite so small

Vulnerable, a human

of dust, of the clay

the omniscience, immortal

bound to the earth

In human form alone

no longer all-powerful

Christ here on the earth

walking as lowly man

A servant of the Master

the Son of the Living God

Born a child, humble

living in the world

from another plane

an alternate reality

a place far away

a silent shout

yearning to reach me

to speak some truth

not reaching me somehow

Wooing them to her

Beginning with a question

about the lesson to come

gathering the children to her

offering them God’s love

Wooing them to her

bringing them in

centered on our Creator

who causes us to live

Sharing with them the Savior

who gives us new life

Speaking of the Spirit

who walks by our side

Wooing them to her

from the noise of the world

centered on our Creator

on the love of our God
