Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Together Always

When the wooden doors 
Swing open
the ifs and certainties continue
The past and present collide
suspended in melody
and streaming sunlight
Painting colours throughout
stained glass onto church pews.

The music swirls,
you pause in the moment
ready but nervous
Poised for the next step
the start of your walk,
A ceremony commitment 
The moving of self 
to become two,
This time
has flowed from days of
dates, experiences
humour and talks.
And you walk
arm in hand with your father
his grin wider even
than your smile
and you head nod
to friends and family,
White bride and 
sparkly shoes dad
Processing to the front of church,
in the midst of
a community of those
who are your precious memories
deep connections from your lives,
You are in this one
day of your life,
this moment
as bride and groom,
And with the words
"I do"
the art
of marriage begins
a new canvas
painting
a vision for the future
allowing growing colours
growing love 
growing self
growing together
Leaping together
exploring boundaries
discovering more in each other
Traveling life together
partnering Best friends
Falling in deeper love.

On this special day
Listen,
Hear God’s heart 
placed with you
shattered with you
Sharing with you,
The circle of the ring
a reminder
His Love never ending 
flows into your life
flows with your steps.

Together always
….with a loving God.

Starting Thoughts: Written for friends on their special day. Always awesome to be part of the celebration of covenants exchanged in marriage.

Erupt

Make and consume 
edgy memes, 
manifestos of destruction
dance on your own grave
fill them with
echoes of your
whirlwind hate,
broadcast them into
the voids that fill your life
the chat group
Video group
Friends unseen group,
similar minds
that cluster and harden
fears take hooks
take hold
take souls
Take minds
take honour
Until
one morning
evolving hate
erupts.

What does it achieve?

Nothing...
Makes nothing
destroys little
For this mind 
restless soul
does 
not understand
Destruction is 
a dead force
Their own mark 
on the world
temporary
Their own 
birth and death 
temporary.

Only One
in the defeat of death
life's ultimate destruction,
Only one in the triumph
of love can bring hope,
A resurrected life
bringing life
Real change
for the surreal,
Peace is only a 
permanent promise 
kept by-
Jesus,
found only in
the person of peace-
Jesus,
The light in the darkness
Fully defeating hate-
Jesus,
the restorer
neighbourhood carpenter
who came to save-
Jesus,
God's skinned
passion, mercy, freedom-
Jesus,
The powerful name
A light that
Shifting shadows
are changed by-
Jesus,
A true friend 
the first unshakeable friend
truth of God's relationship
with races and earth's people-
Jesus.

Starting Thoughts: Following the Christchurch Mosque shootings (terrorism) I wrote this as part of my reflections and processing of the event. Can we not just allow God's love to be the core of who we are?

Spoken word poetry on the need of the love of God in Christchurch mosque terrorism

Louder is Stronger

Because you said whatever
it must be the truth,
beat your honey lips
Drum louder,
so we presume
We are hearing the real,
Media layers
websites, facebook, instagram,
social media poison drips,
lies like flies
coating your lips,
buzzing off the corpses
of facts bloated,
balance not considered
as rhetoric extremes
sell more, get more hits,
death hits
suicide hits
humanity hits,
Reality bits.
A world of lost
in clamour,
Voice barbs in the mind.
Voices
The whispers in your mind
circling your thoughts
choruses streaming from the past     
into the secrets of your heart.

Voices
from the whispers of your heart
To your spirit,
Hearing the call
Deep to deep
from God.

Voices
hear the rolling thunder,
know the powerful name
of Jesus,
The One
who claimed
He was the way, life, truth.

Starting Thoughts: In a world full of voices, what are the strongest ones we hear, respond to and influence our life. How much does media, opinion, comments, video influence the decisions we are making? Where do we find and know truth? Can we hear it in the noise of life?

Spoken Word Poem on the finding of truth in the media noise of our world.

Heart Change

Time on the clock
the hours
minutes
seconds
of each day
pass as usual,
In the routine
of our new life
together
I awaken
from a deep slumber
surprised
to find you holding
my love in your arms,
My heart pounds
for I have given
a part of me
never shared before…
Take care
of my new feeling.

Starting Thoughts: Sometimes the change in your feelings towards someone surprises you in the realisation that there has been a shift in your emotions towards them. It is a wonderful scary!
