Painting eternity, icons - v2

Painting eternity, icons, our national pastime,
capturing our heroes, a moment of grace;
Longing for perfection, seeking to get it right,
striving to be faithful, to the image, to that age.

Seeing the nobility, the gravitas, the moment,
of the images in the emulsion, capturing their faces;
Longing for the power in the lighting, the shades of color,
painting our diamond heroes, so many we have lost.

Painting in shades of light

Painting in shades of light...
not merely in hue, in color,
trying to capture reality
the warmth of mid-summer.

Painting in shades of light...
a daunting proposition,
seeking to capture the image
the truth before our eyes.

Painting in shades of light...
to gather features, meaning,
to honor the work of others
who capture light in a bottle.

Rising toward the heavens

Rising toward the heavens
from orange, to yellow, to white,
our star in its awakening
bringing sunshine and light.
 
Awakening as a promise
proof of the sovereignty of God
alive in the dawning
the provision of our risen Lord.

God sees us - v2

God sees us
God show us love
the #invisible, the #broken, the #hurting
the God who sees me, who sees each one of us
when we are wandering in our desert.

God show us #love.
God sees us
each sheep as a shepherd
#God sent us a #Savior
the One that He loves.

I do not hold the words too tightly

I do not hold the words too tightly,
the bits of gossamer, of whimsy,
captured from the ether, the air,
held in the fowler's net, banded,
released just as quickly...

I do not hold the words too tightly
because they are not truly mind;
I am the vessel, the amanuensis,
to gather the words from the ether
to give breath eternal life...

There are secrets in those dark waters - v3

Behind the trees, the brush, the hills,
outside the paths, the ways -
the roadways, the highways,
off into the woods, the swamps,
the brushlands behind them
Where mystery holds sway...
 
There are secrets in those dark waters,
buried in the deep, the depths,
ripe with decay, with vegetation,
shrouded in mystery,
hidden in plain sight,
Just beyond our reach…

I have felt the hand of God - v2

I have felt the hand of God
on my life, upon my family;
I have known the joy of praise
in my spirit, in my heart.
 
I have felt the hand of God
in my minutes, on my journey;
I have known the wonder of miracles
in my life, in my days.
 
I have felt the hand of God
leading beside still waters;
I have found peace in God,
my Creator and my Savior.

God has been here with us

God has been here with us
in our struggles, in our trials;
God has brought us healing
in our mortal walk of life.
 
God watches over us
putting angels in our path;
God alone is the reason
we thrive, that we survive.
 
God orders our steps
when we only see random chaos;
God is our protector, our guide,
in every step of life.

I can still see her - v2

I can still see her
in my mind, in my imagination;
Her image is imprinted
on my spirit, my soul.
 
She is different in each season,
but she is majestic, in power;
The Great Mountain remains
for me to dream, to conjure.

There are secrets in those dark waters

Behind the palms, outside the paths, the ways,
The roadways, the highways,
Off into the woods, the swamps,
The brushlands behind them
 
There are secrets in those dark waters,
Ripe with decay, with vegetation,
Hidden in play sight,
Just beyond our reach…
