voices
of doubt
from
within, without;
pulling,
tugging
tearing
me apart
unsure
of the path
the
way to my purpose,
stuck,
bound in place,
limping
on a shared journey
voices
of doubt
weighing
me down, chains;
like
the winds on the water
making
Peter drown

A
Stranger within the Gate
Known
within these walls
a
member of the flock
yet
a stranger within the gate
the
courts of the law
Awkward
in my spirit
pacing
in the hall
wondering
why I don’t fit in
that
I don’t belong at all

A

A
Calling to Write
Not
oblique,
something
unclear
not
with words grandiose
a
calling to write clear and terse
Poetry,
beauty
in
the straightforward
message
from God
the
words I hear in my heart
Called
to share freely from him
to
the ends of the earth
Comfort,
hope, one truth revealed,
the
love of Christ complete.
By
his grace alone
we
are made whole
our
eternal lives restored.
