Fill yourself with Christ – v2

Fill yourself with Christ,
our lives overflowing,
with joy, with gratitude,
with love, with compassion…
 
Fill yourself with Christ,
the blood of our Lord, Jesus,
let Love overwhelm you,
gifting you in this life…
 
Fill yourself with Christ,
in our hearts, our spirits,
with the good things of God,
all that is good, all that is noble…
 
Fill yourself with Christ,
let His blood wash you,
let joy fill you, heal you,
may you sing for joy…
 
Fill yourself with Christ,
Son of our Father,
the Lamb, the Sacrifice,
the source of our life…
 
Fill yourself with Christ,
with the Word, scripture,
may God’s words be on our lips,
our lives witness to God’s goodness,
when we are shaken, may love pour out…

Nature calls us – v2

Nature calls us
dwelling all around us
in whispers of colors,
in the rustling leaves,
wooing of the water,
texture, the smells, alive,
murmuring of creation
calling to us, to our spirits.
to our hearts, to our minds….
 
Nature calls us
to stop, to listen,
the muse of our spirits,
to draw closer to mystery,
joy in each moment, present,
to the sound, light, awakening,
power of each moment,
life all around us, now,
calling to each of us…

What is in your cup – v2

What is in your cup,
what is deep within you,
the vessel of your spirit,
broken clay, your body,
that you have been given…
 
What is in your cup,
what you pour within you,
what you let take hold
of your spirit, your soul,
within your daily walk…
 
What is in your cup
defines what you offer,
what pours out of you,
when you are bumped,
when you are shaken…
 
What is in your cup,
your clay, your broken vessel,
who you are, how you serve,
is defined by what is your cup,
for that is what you pour out…

I am merely a vessel – v2

I am broken
I am not worthy
Whatever I share
Are your words Lord…
 
I am merely a vessel
For God’s love to pour into
I breathe in living water
And I pour out praise…
 
I want to be God’s servant,
To share His love freely,
To offer hope richly,
To be poured out…
 
Fill me Lord to overflowing,
Drench me in Your love,
Pour me as a blessing,
A breath prayer to the world…

earthen jars – v4

our lives are a blessing,
hearts of flesh, of light,
held in bodies of clay,
earthen jars, broken,
holding great treasure,
Love of the living God…
 
our lives hold purpose,
breaking our clay open,
shattering our purposes,
surrendering sacrificially,
sharing treasure fully,
Love of the living God…
 
our lives are for sharing,
abundance, the blessing,
held in our bodies, precious,
in our vessels of clay, broken,
to be poured in the world
Love of the living God…

bodies of clay,
hearts of flesh,
earthen jars,
holding treasure,
Love of the living God…
 
our lives hold purpose,
breaking our clay open,
shattering our purposes,
surrendering fully,
sharing treasure,
Love of the living God…

You know the name of the #Traveler – v5 #speculativepoetry #poetry #sciencefiction

1
A vessel and so much more, a part of him,
glyphs written in His ship’s surface, its skin,
filling empty space, nothing left uncovered,
Words, a prayer of conquest, of sending.
 
2
A kiss of kinship, of His people, their leaders,
voyaging beyond, into the unknown, the infinite,
weighing anchor, going, traveling, the void,
Crossing celestial planes, eternal seas.
 
3
Speak truth to us, the mystery, reveal to us,
You know the name of the Traveler,
don't you, you know these markings,
Their meaning, their gravity, their power.
 
4
What was written about Him in the scrolls,
on the stele, in our history, ancient time,
this image, the symbol, the secrets,
Written on the Traveler's hand…
 
5
His vessel, his ship, his voyage, his quest,
(I can see Him standing, resolute on the bridge),
harkens back to Captain Nemo, to Verne’s epic,
Drawing us to the Nautilus, frozen in memory.
 
6
His voyage of discovery, uncharted,
silently exploring, the earth, the oceans,
uncovering mysteries of the deep,
In many ways, a far simpler quest.
 
7
Ancient words were written, a message,
of His sending, of His destiny, of his mission, 
the Promised that was to come, a prayer,
Coming, returning across the galaxies.
 
8
Across time and space, the void,
a savior, a messenger, a herald,
a name of life, eternity, protection,
Traveler now beckons to everyone...
 
9
Here He is, as was prophesied, foretold,
a prayer of our people, of history, of time,
now in the void, beyond the heavens,
A vessel, a Traveler, across time and space.
 
10
Upon the bridge, the helm, standing,
standing resolute, righteous, journeying,
beautiful, powerful, the union of His body,
The vessel, the Traveler, an ancient one.
 
11
Our prayer, our common longing, unrequited,
so long dormant, waiting, forgotten,
our hopes for this moment, this epiphany,
Many generations in history, our ancient past.
 
12
Alive now with us, coming, arriving,
a quickening in the heavens, returning,
crossing other oceans, other worlds
To anchor on these shores again.
 
13
Mysteries come with Him, carrying,
secrets melted to Him, the Traveler,
glyphs carried with Him, a part of Him -
How I wish I could read them all.
 
14
What other stories will they reveal,
across the galaxies, the markings, our history,
the watery world beyond, immersed,
Alive beyond the pool of Earth…

The Traveler had returned

Beyond the memory of these people,
Only in myth, in legend, written in history,
In the sands of time, foretelling, foreshadowing,
That this day would come, that prophecy would be fulfilled.
 
The Traveler had returned,
As it had been written, as it was long promised,
In this moment of turmoil, of conflict
To make things right, to bring peace once again.
 
Come to heal that which was broken,
By war, the jihad, the terror,
The cyborgs and the mutants
All the warring tribes.
 
Borne by his vessel, this warship,
Ancient yet modern, merging,
Joining with the Traveler,
A mark of his power…
