Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Born Twice

A making unmaking,
when attached
becomes released
separated, tiny
lungs shudder first breath,
this baby combined
DNA molecules of two,
Experiences pain
instinctively cries.

Time grows, passes,
food consumed
Molecules imported,
Until 
at some mysterious point,
All molecule 
origins of mother father
have been shed, replaced.
Am I more me at this point?
Alone from family
Yet closer in my division?
Be born again
said Jesus,
changed from the inside out,
explosion from stillness,
hugged and released
Finite space filled
with the will of infinity,
infused Makers DNA.
not just a process
but a human soul journey,
inner transformation.

Closer to God 
and paradoxically...
self.

Be born again,
Do not return
to old ways,
Be born again.
Born Again Christian Poem

Change

8.30 wait,
Reluctant refugee
from warm kitchen,
Standing on the cracked asphalt
by dirty grey concrete gutter,
Bus late as usual
Watching steamy breath
envelope time
to disappear
in smog throttled air,
People in the queue
all looking the other way
beanies pulled grimly down
Collars raised to keep
frost fingers out,
Every morning I see them
regulars at the stop
on way to work,
Stranger friends
for we've never talked,
Do these people have pasts?
Ordinary folks waiting
for the ever slow transport.

.....CHANGE.....

Found in pockets
used on bus

……CHANGE….

How many chameleon
people here
with throwaway values?
Can they look
in mirrors of character
and say, "That's me."

......CHANGE......

or do they adopt
what they think others want,
Having no rock
to base their lives on.

....CHANGE.....

The bus arrives
scaring puddles onto
the pavement,
Packed with passengers
To pick up
those who will fit on.
