Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Word Clouds

Wind scuffed clouds
Shadowed and formed
illusions of thinking
Ethereal realities
in a tired mind,
Words that float
hazily dreaming
of a day they will coalesce
into brilliant thoughts
and masterful phrases.

Starting Thoughts:
How do thoughts form in our minds? Maybe with wispy clouds so easily blown away.

Decay

Word by word
bite by bite
cut by cut
Comment by comment.

I'm not one to gossip
but someone needs to say
Something,
Feeling in the centre,
righteous power
and if not...
I lose control.

But if I searched
my soul mirror,
I’d see the decay harvest,
death dealing lips
white washed tombs
dripping poison smiles
Kisses that betray.

Can I bring the dark
into the light,
Confess to God
with those
same lips?

Starting Thoughts: It is amazing how we use words to cut and kill - all coming from our own insecurities. How do we truly walk that line between having truth, honour, boundaries and love in what we speak but not tip into gossip mode.

Can we focus on honor rather than gossip Spoken Word Poetry

Your Cost

Take your life
expense
excellence, cost, love
fear, success
Break it;
Kneel
and pour the oil,
Anoint the feet
of Jesus,
Tender, intimate,
without a care
for those around,
devoted in passion
massage deep,
devoted 
stay in that place
remain close,
wipe the dust,
soften His calluses,
in veins see his blood beat;
your heart worships
deep calls to deep,
fearless cost
Connected in communion,
Can you be closer?
Yes! taking your long hair
You twist the strands slightly
and wipe Christ's feet...
worship moment, 
timeless drift.

How can these seconds
Be as powerful
as a hug,
as exciting 
as first love,
as secure
as holding hands,
as wrapped in a
Heartbeat?

Finished 
but not wanting to be,
you stand;
He smiles,
Eyes sparked in love,
And you enjoy... fully alive.

Luke 7: 36-50

At the Cross

"The hard cross reveals an immense love. We can know who we truly are at the cross."

At the cross
Hard wood, hard nailed, 
hard faces
Soft flesh.
Sin's focus
Sin's power
Sin's lies.

Flawlessness embraces flaws
Perfect enveloping terrible 
Hope infusing fear,
Love enfolds the cold,
Streams of mercy
heaven's cascade,
Washing clean.
It's who Jesus is.

Some sins escape me,
The things I don't do
when I could
I slip,
Good is not enough
in God's perfect.

At the cross
Love revealed,
Immense, wide
Not a half-filled cup
but ocean depths,
Freedom claimed,
Healing imparted,
Forgiveness flows.

Jesus takes all sin.
I am
Loved,
Released...
Oh, the infinite closeness, 
It's who I am,
It's who I know.

I Am

If I met
Combined, connected into one:
Power
Love
Justice
Sacrifice
Significance
Freedom
Eternity
Brother, sister, friend, father, mother
Extremes
Life
Spirit
King
Cost
Change.

Would my mind cope?

If I had
All time
All words
They would not be enough
Just ebbing thoughts,
Inadequate shadows,
To describe the Great,
"I am"

Time Reloads

Head in hands,
Hands, hair, skin, skull
Holding in the pain,
Replaying images.

Time reverses
Seconds leach from the future,
Spiralling past events
Decisions, consequences,
Small flights of thought
Covering vast spaces
Of choice,
Ticking seconds, minutes, years
Unfolding past from present,
Unrolling truth and lies...
Unaware alternatives
Mixed with desired selections.

The paths
Wide and narrow,
Dark and light,
Forks in our story.

It's your choice,
Choice

Time Reloads

Starting Thoughts
Making choices and decisions. How does one choice affect our life?

Words

The play of words
game of words
throne of words…

Hate fester words
Back stab gossip
War engraving text
Love declarations
Advertising mind twists
Thoughtless remarks
Timeless quotes
Idle chitchat
Blog comments
Humour mind remarks
Music laced words.

Our world...
Stick and stones
Life and death
through words.

Who said in power, 
"in the beginning.. Was the Word!”
Who said, "I am the Word, 
the Truth and the Life!”
Who said
nailed and struggling for breath, 
"Today, you will be with me 
in Paradise!"

Hooked

Swimming against currents 
sun-flecked waters of life 
white rapids 
deep pools 
imagination swims, 
poem hook 
drops 
dangling enticingly 
wavering invitingly, 
In the flow debris
a beauty of words
twitch of thoughts
snare of entertainment,
I rise to the bait 
caught to fight 
with life's revelation.

Starting Thought
Creativity, inspiration, imagination, an amazing gift.
