Amygdala hijack – v4

His words incoherent, gibberish,
her face beet red, sweating,
decibels rising, quickly,
shouting, unrelenting panic,
a baby’s tiny, clenched fists…
 
Amygdala hijack, chaos,
in full flower, erupting,
no chance at compromise,
no possibility for agreement,
for another two hours, at least…

Snake Brains on the Courthouse Steps – v3

Ancient response, predictive,
learned behavior, automatic,
more instinctive, without thinking…
 
Fear, panic, amygdala hijack,
reason dissolving, anxious, impatient,
wanting to run, to flee in terror…
 
Seeking compromise, a solution,
reason, decision, impossible, devolving,
to the primitive, in the grip of the snake…

alone with God - 2

alone with God - 2


come closer, nearer

into the presence

in silence, in secret

set apart, alone with God


come to a secluded place

a place set apart, holy,

away from the madding crowd

the square, the spotlights


come before God

alone with God, only,

set time, a place for worship

for drinking in the word

Draw nearer, closer,

come closer to God;

Come into God’s presence

God’s grace, God’s love.


Fall down before God,

worship God fully;

Draw nearer, closer,

our service in private - v2

 our service in private - v2


our service in private

our prayers in our closets

to worship God

in truth, in our hearts


offering our gifts

our worship, our talents

sharing with God

in secret, in private


called to share, to serve,

to pray to our Father

but called to be private

to worship only God

Faith is a muscle - v2

 Faith is a muscle - v2


Faith is a muscle

to be tested, stressed;

Faith is a muscle

to be exercised, worked.


Faith is not dead

static, inert;

Faith is a muscle

to be exercised, worked.

the beast comes from within – v3

an awful power, raw,
his words speaking truth
the beast comes from within
though we would deny it
claiming we are innocent
of awakening the beast

that what we fear
unbridled temptations
giving in to the beast
leading us downward
in that spiral, that chaos
that conflict within

chaos calling
wooing us with lies
with our imperfections
pulling us downward
when we feed the beast,
the flesh somehow
