Trust Sails Away

The Spirit wind
of God
blows and breathes 
bringing life 
to the water,
Three yachts -
Three ways to live
born in the harbour
born to sail
born to dream
born to hope.

One Anchored, 
sails furled curled
Holding to self 
Holding to material 
Holding to past 
Holding to mast,
Anchored to avoid risk
Heart hidden
The wind ripples past
singing through bare wire stays.

Second yacht 
Ripped, tipped, tripped over 
Heart exposed
Human error
Human blame game 
Fault 
Pain 
Waiting indecision 
Nothing being the decision 
It lies, water logged,
Sail drowning
feeling broken
Blame and shame
It hopes heavy 
It hopes hurt
The wind tugs past
Caressing over upturned hull.

Third yacht - gone 
Hitting the horizon 
Heart out 
Hammering
Skimming on waves 
Light on the water
Trusting to the future
Sharing love, control, life 
Intimate dancing 
with wind's direction,
responding to 
breezes, gusts, whispers
Calls to the future,
A Rider of the ocean depths
Flowing with the wind,
Trusting in fears
Trusting the wind
The wind flies with in
partnership motivation.

The wind 
Same for three 
Calling life
Calling change 
Calling trust.


Starting Thoughts: How are we living for Christ? Safe, broken or taking a risk? Stagnant, hurt or running with the wind?

Revival

Survival
or revival?
Dry bones?

Am I 
seeking the I Am?

Am I 
opening
Yielding
Intensifying
hungry
intimate,
experiencing
being empowered
connected with God.
Wells opening
living from 
the Source of life
Praying with passion
encountering
widest imaginations
energising my spirit,
giving glory to God.
Such Richness;
Lord, I am thankful.

Now Declaring
a beginning
the pouring of rain  
Drenching, filling,
life for the people
Life for the land.

We rise
speaking, soaking the future 
living in the now
Rivers of life
from our spirit
flowing the heart of God
streaming intention,
hope, love
into the next
daily
divine appointment.

Ephesians 3:20

Starting Thoughts: Is the most important ingredient in revival us? Are we all meant to mission intentional?

Revival Starts with us_ Spoken Word Christian Poem

Trust

I remember the 
Jesus transformation
I honour God
for who He is,
I know His pathway
is revealed with my risk,
So striding through
emotion mind mists,
I walk trusting
with thankful heart depths.

Bible Verses
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. Proverbs 3:5-6 GNB

Prompt
Knowing where you come from in God and trusting Him for the next step.

Wild, Strong, Free

Through suffocating forest
false trails and tangles
testing and temptations,
and as you step over
a fallen slippery trunk
you see ahead
a sun dappled clearing,
breaking past
cloying branches,
into space
it seems almost
time stands still,
as you spin in flower
meadow grass;
a new refreshing.

Spring
season of snow petals
and snow flakes,
sun and shivery.
Life seems caught
in between
the hard chill of Winter
and warm call of Summer,
Celebrate bride!
and as you walk
your feet hasten
the new season,
opening new hope
new opportunities
deeper understanding
of His love
for you.

What flower
is your God?
A fragrant red rose with the 
crown of thorns,
the camellia that blooms
briefly
and falls to the ground,
the dotting grass daisy 
everywhere you walk,
almost commonplace,
the daphne
fragrant hidden colour
sweet on the breeze
stronger in the sun…
All of these
and more
look close and see
my amazing beauty
smell, relax
take in my fragrance
this weekend.

Threaded between
tall multicoloured lupins
spider web symmetry,
And as you look
closer you see yourself
Hanging by a thread
spinning like
a climber on a rope,
but feeling only
a fragile connection
to the anchor,
to the One.
Now He asks you
to let go
disconnect the line!
and fall
into His arms...
Safe and secure
Soaking in His love.

When you look back 
the dark forest shapes
become the city buildings,
You were 
the wanderer
of dim alleys and
bright city 
night lights,
where Time slips 
so easily
in electronic distractions
moments eaten
byte by bite
and routine mixes
with unexpected pain
into a life
that seems not quite yours.
Not quite what you hoped.

I know you
your heart
your thoughts
your struggles
your celebrations
I love your
curiosity
your questions
as you search
your innermost…
Rest today
Rest in my words
Rest in my love
Rest in my peace
Let me take care 
of the rest.
Let me be
the light to your feet
the light in your eyes

Refreshed
in the stillness,
Quickened
in the rhythm and beat,
Opened 
in the words,
Connected
in the conversations,
Challenged
in the call,
Loved
deep in my heartbeat,
My daughter
dance into this weekend.
respond to my power
respond to my song
respond to my freedom
open connections
with me
Hear my voice
in the still
and the storm,
For I am
the Word
who desires
chooses
to meet you.

This weekend
be different,
In hope
look to the One,
be assured of My strength
My Power
My love
and rise free
in and above
forests and clearings
on the wings of eagles.

Created for a women's conference. Encouragement to relax, step out and discover new things in God.
You are free in a forest clearing Christian poetry

Call

The phone rings
Repeated tones
buzzing your mind's corner
It rings...
How long are you
Waiting?
What will you
do now?

You are called,
It rings...
called to be a light
called to know
love and cleansing
from Jesus.
Like Twelve Disciples
changers of the world...
You?
In school
At work
Play and sport
University and polytechnic
At home, over the fence,
Peacemakers
calling justice
Action for new life
To shattered relationships,
To those picked-on
When will you pick-up?

Only in power
from God
Holy Spirit -
we await,
pick up, risk, step
Responding
to Your call,
Jesus
Your call,
People
Your call.

Starting Thoughts: Twelve people heard a call and the world was irrevocably changed as a result. If we hear the call changes will happen around us also, one person at a time.

Are you hearing the call from God? Spoken Word Poem.

Life Currents

Life can be complex
Sitting on the outside
Never trying to be in it
Towel sitting,
Waves calling.
Some sail adventures
charting rocks, storms and whirlpools
Canoeing wild rides
Meanwhile
I lie lazy
tanning melanoma
Will I look only?

I take a drink
From the coolie
It bubbles cool, inviting
Coke is life
Lol
It is a lie!

I can't be filled, quenched
With artificial.
Only in the water
Flowing, living water
Salt or stream
Is true life.

I wake up holding the bottle
Sunburn on the way.

Prompt
Do you just sit back on the edge of life, watching others, wanting more but not quite able to make it across the hot sand?
