Maze of Stones

As I walk in life
to destiny
to freedom,
I encounter walls
blocking my future truth
making my life messier
steering me through 
a maze path of
walled in futures,
Put another stone
in the barriers
that is what I am
meant to do
deliberately do
or just accidentally do,
I know it’s
not just my walls
but generations of curses,
walls I thought would protect
but just quietly expand
their twisted paths;
What have I built?
Become part of?

If I could just fly 
above all of this
like in my dreams,
but these barricades
this maze
is my reality
my built identity.

If only I could take 
stones from the walls
weaken them,
and be ready
for the earthquake
a change transformation
of Christ's love.
And walk over the rubble
Sometimes stumbling
Sometimes scrambling
Sometimes scraped
but somehow more whole,
And be something different
be myself
be God’s love
be free
be a new blessing.

Starting Thoughts:
From a series at church called living free I wrote this with and in response to the message given by Josiah. It was cool how I was writing and then he would mention an image from this poem as I was writing. God has a way of bringing his direction through many at the same time.

Voice

Do you hear my voice
the call of love
the pull to your soul?
A chance
An opening
for your decision
for your destiny
for the dreams
and desires of your heart
for the dreams
and desires of my heart.

I will never leave you
I will go before you
I am beside you
I am behind you.

So do you hear my voice?

The call
to presence, passion, purpose
to celebrate my presence
my closeness and love for you,
To explode with passion
for who you are in me
To fulfil your purpose
to go find others
to be me to others
to transform
this world
with the kingdom of Heaven
here on Earth.

Will you hear my voice?

Starting Thoughts:
Do we hear the call of God, His voice or even try to listen? Walking hearing His voice in our daily life is not easy as we get so easily involved and distracted with what is going on around us.

Filling Restlessness

Time ticks
24 hours to fill
I can strike off some
by sleeping
but even then
somehow
I am late to bed
putting off time
packing time with stuff
devices and screens
parties and memes
playing the good scene.
What is this restlessness?
when will my heart,
my soul find rest?
where in life
if not only in death?
I hold this life close
yet kill it with drugs, parties, friends
habits that feel good at the time,
but I feel even my own
heart beat dripping
slipping through my fingers,

Can there be better?
A way?
A point?

Starting Thoughts:
We seek ways to distract ourselves from realities of our life and ourselves and often overlook the Way, Truth and Life that can really only be found in Jesus.

The Prodical Call

Looking back
I wonder
about the difference
I made,
the mark I wanted
to make
maybe more of a stain
on the fabric of life,
Is how I’m wired
a misfire?
Fractured fragmented relationships
misunderstandings,
Then again
are these just the lies
of my emotions?
Am I believing the lies
of corrupt desires?

Hear the call to the
Prodigal,
“Return to home”
Hear the call to the
Prodigal
“You belong in the
True Father’s heart “
Hear the call to the
Prodigal
“Let’s celebrate in the
Darkness my love for you .”

And in God’s warm embrace
the soul soaking
speaking,
of the eternal God,
In this Private place close
to the secrets of God,
Who I am is revealed
who ..I ...am ...is ...revealed
in the seal
of God’s love,
I am fearfully
and wonderfully made,
I am Called by name
partnered with God’s heart,
I am a significant part
of the one body,
I am the one
known fully from womb
to every hair on my head,
I am made worthy...
How can I not
love the skin I am in?
How could I ever
Unknow what I now know?

What could happen
if I truly walk in the light -
expecting breakthroughs as I go,
Finding what makes
My heart come alive
Activated,
Experiencing a world
significantly bigger
than I am
But connected to the steps
of my daily world,
connected to the words
of Jesus
“Go and make disciples”
Connected to a glorious,
dangerous, exciting full faith,
Connected to the simple
complex love of God, self and
nurturing others.

Lord
in family, friends, church,
work, with strangers I meet
In the deep unity of your spirit
In the power of your love
In the summer of the harvest
In a sweet harmony of your spirit,
Let us create shared experiences
Shared stories
Shared life
Shared joy
Shared laughter
Shared purpose
Shared worship of Yahweh.

Starting Thoughts: Church camp in Hanmer was a time of opening ourselves, of being a church that has made room. A call to unity in love and spirit that makes change and expansion possible.

Relationship

Am I
running,
volunteering,
trying to fix,
trying hard,
Or simply being
at the feet
of Jesus?

Starting Thoughts: Are we a Martha or a Mary? When do we spend time at the feet of Jesus?

Chosen

He Favours you
Knows you 
Sees you 
Treasures you
past and now and always,
The restless struggles
needs and pains 
Sees you in your destination 
the future landing place
destiny celebrations,
Fullness of the Kingdom's reign.
As you give God space 
Yell, "Yes Lord"
He fills it,
More space 
More God 
Giving him your weakness 
His strength overflows,
His strength 
Your strength 
Powering the broken 
Power resting on you 
Power in you 
planting you deep 
In the Spirit source,
Protecting you,
In opening your 
faith accept that 
He alone is strong
the strength you need,
Heart given to Christ 
Risen with Christ
Vision from Christ,
In him only.
The beauty of his love
displays power and strength 
completely,
Like diamonds
on the dark backdrop 
shining clarity 
against the pain darkness
Facets and crystal sparking
against the doubts and friction,
Like mountains etched winter white
Clear against blue skies
rising on Canterbury horizons
Kaleidoscope complexities
Creation's colours
The king's colours 
life's colours,
Streams of light 
Revealing the colours 
Powering from his majesty 
His sacrifice, resurrection strength
Brings crisp sharp reality, 
You sense deep his 
Supply, his generosity 
Creating surprise
in your life, in your forward steps,
And as you 
wait for the best time 
Ripe time 
Moment of right time 
Not doubting in darkness
his call in the light,
Responding regardless
Flowing within His insight
Peace beyond understanding
A Peace foundation
Builds within,
And you step 
Casting your cares, fears 
Now
strong in his strength 
Transparent in His peace
creative in his capacity 
Lit by His grace
peace bringers
Kingdom singers
God's people of the plains
Protected, 
covered by
Sentinel angels
Standing shoulder strong
Towering above 
the Alps
Shining
Mirrors of God's glory.

Starting Thoughts: God fills us with His strength flowing from His love for us. We are called to leave fears with Him and in a paradox of transparency be mirrors of God's glory.

Plays of Life

How we play
Ignoring questions
ignoring the gaps
Turning on
Noise and screens,
For our focus -
Odds on favorite -
is Pleasure.

Power, position, possessions
The plays of life
Days of life
Chasing the cursed dream
we catch it, rich cream
temporary fulfilment,
and it dries
ashes in the mouth,
Death a taste away,
Chasing the cash crop
why would I stop?
Spinning into nothing
is what I am avoiding,
The void always
apparent beneath my feet,
Running fast enough
so the vortex
will not suck me in
for I have made myself God.

If I died tomorrow,
was it all just random...
Or will I meet Jesus?

Starting Thoughts: We chase stuff! Not quite like a dog chasing a car but we tend to focus on money, status, pleasure, sex, work and in the end I wonder what we have achieved. Christians are not immune either, when we take our focus of God and relationship with him we can be running to catch-up with our image of God.

Spoken Word Poem on what we put our time into to achieve fame or success

Impossible

Counting
way too impossible,
Sand on the beach
Peebles in the universe,
The problems in my day...
my work
the world,
The giants puff nothing
but rule my life,
Desert dry
I stumble,
purpose parched,
Loser lost,
sin scraped?
No deeper!
sin soaked!

"Oh God,"
I cry
for your forgiveness,
I need
Your impossible.
And then I discover
in the cross
in a Jesus relationship
in worship,
in tune with the Saviour;
streams that flow living water,
My spirit connects
to the holy,
And I dwell deep
loved infinitely, completely,
in the smile of God.

Prompt
Impossible- counting the grains of sand on a beach, fathoming the love of God, we can only be in awe.
Impossible Christian Poem

Bad Things Happen

Accidents
Struggles
Money pain,
Death
Suicide
Desperate,
Rumours
Barbed words
Poison drips
via screens,
your reality show,
Loneliness
in a connected world,
Loneliness
in a party room,
Loneliness
amongst candyfloss friends,
Can there
be any answer...
in the drugs, alcohol,
in busyness, work,
in hating,
in trying to be good,
all pointless...

And Christ,
God among us
Knows pain's depths,
Rejected, hurt, betrayed,
beaten, killed,
Felt hell's pains sunk
deep in His soul,
His gift
accepting our torture,
And so...
Knows fully your pain.

Come to Him,
give Him
the bad stuff,
The worst, meanest, painful, despair,
the dark.

Forever
he is the Water of Life
Hope singer,
New life bringer,
Your smile and laughter..

Prompt
How deep do we feel trapped in the tar around us? Is there any meaning?

Channel Surfing

Channel surfing…
All I can eat
All mine
Yet never me,
Entertainment worlds in a button,
All the colour, life and choice,
Yet lifeless, death in pixels
Nothing that means,
No connections,
Ads and advertising 
Promises and pleasures,
High definition creations
Giving blurred zero self-images
Unreal masquerades of the real.

Can I 
Leave the hate
Lose the forgery and fakes
Vacate negativity
Cut the crap
from my life,
Take any truth
I hear and see
and become different?

In a world without reason
feeding lies to sensations
where lies my lifeline?

Starting Thoughts: We live in a saturated media world that is sucking more and more reality from our identity and relationships, death by a thousand pixels in many ways. Is there an answer to the rising mental health and anxiety issues in our world?

Deeper than Surface

Single letters
straggle through my heart
tugging odds and ends
forming thoughts 
deeper than mind
Centered in my core.

The Question slides
surface floating
W
H
O
Am I? 
Is God?
Who cares?

Am I random?
A blank?

Or formed for purpose?

I stand outside myself
Looking in
and beyond.
