The Circle is what Matters – v5

Open wounds remaining

no return, no denying

a maw of pain exposed

the circle is what matters

coming together, urgent

healing the damage

yet shards still there

encapsulated, remaining

waiting under heavy scar tissue

The mirror cracked, broken

only pieces in the frame

pieces hanging, exposed

the circle, the family

unwound, unraveled

shards sharp, within

their pain real, remaining

cutting into flesh

all who would touch them

Walls of the circle breached

the dike of our sorrow

flowing out in pain, in blood

the cost of the schism

of the picking of sides

the divisions, the fissures,

unfair, the choices,

the circle is what matters

walling off the outside

falling into the waters – v3

falling into the waters

the act of baptism

our connection with Christ

commissioned for service

ordained for ministry

all of us touched by the Spirit

all beloved of God

all of us sent to heal

a balm for the brokenness

the separation from God

we are to share the one message

we are sent like Christ

up from the waters

into this broken world

The Mirror Shattered – v2

The mirror shattered

the circle, now broken

the fabric ripped asunder

the family in crisis

the frame may remain

but the shards are hanging

A fabric torn, ripped

a thread pulled from the middle

unraveling what was complete

an open wound removing

part of the picture

The mirror shattered

the circle now broken

the frame may remain

the family in crisis

the frame may remain

but the shards are hanging

The Circle is what Matters – v4

The family, the circle

the body together,

lines of heredity, or kinship

tremors on the web, the arc

the circle shattered, cut,

The beauty in a way broken

a piece removed, ripped

torn from the fabric

jagged, in pain and in loss

Open wounds remaining

a maw of pain exposed

perhaps covered over for a time

yet the circle is what matters

coming together, urgent

to heal the damage, the rift,

Yet shards still there

encapsulated, remaining

waiting under heavy scar tissue

The whole, the mirror cracked,

tremors remaining, open,

broken, pieces hanging, exposed

the circle, the family

unwound, unraveled

shards sharp, within, retained

Their pain real, remaining

cutting into flesh, through skin

all who would touch them

Walls of the circle breached

the dike of our sorrow

levees needed, to be shored up,

flowing out in pain, in blood

the cost of the schism

of the picking of sides

unfair, the choices,

The circle is what matters

walling off the external

a breach in the circle – v2

a tear in the fabric

an acute problem

a breach in the circle

injury within the family

one against another

brothers and sisters

parents and grandparents

enabling the escalation

fanning the flames

the division, the strife

the wound growing larger

needing oil for the waters

a balm to heal them

praying over the circle

that the breach would be healed

that others would mend the tear

that they may see

the error of their choices

the pain they inflict

the tear in the circle

that they would come together

that they be restored
