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.

I spread faith feathers
launch skyward
soaring, smiling

rising on Spirit winds.

The Smile of 'I Am'

12.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

I am the sweet taste
on your lips,
The water softy
cleansing your cheeks,
I am the golden sand beach
you run on free,
the forever rock
you strongly stand on,
I am the flower fragrances
swirling new dreams,
The hug
holding you in deep love,
I am the dance
moving you to the beat,
The song that
unfolds life to your soul,
I am the freedom call
wild to your spirit
I am the Word
that speaks you are special,
The touch that
says, "I am here."

I am
your impossible
possibilities.

Wild, Strong, Free

10.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

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.

Lost

10.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Deadly appointments,
every week
her thoughts slip into
spiralling self hate,
cut by gossip, snide barbs
oppression chains,
what she thinks others think,
Drowning in black surges
salt waters steal
Stripping layers
of life,
Until just a crying
mind self
bleeds dying rhythms
into surging seas,
washed and lost.

Can her heart
be saved?

Swallowed whole
Suicide by assignment
with decisions and indecision
she chose to swim
Tied in ropes
from past and present
Until it hurt
and death lethargy
overcame tired limbs
unwinding her soul
drifting into darkness
welcoming the release.

The first explosion
Of pain
was compressed lungs
screaming to take a breath
Knowing breath is death,
oxygen deprived,
mind spinning
she sinks further,
thirsting for numbness
wanting- not wanting to die
but intimately dancing
with death.

Can her heart
be saved?

Broken people stand
on the stony beach,
Knowing dying
is hardening out
in the dim currents,
wondering why
it keeps happening,
to the ones they
care about,
hoping a hand will
break the surface.

Unconscious the body drifts
Floating to the surface
and in the between
of life and final death
where dark closes in
and nothing more
surrounds,
She senses in her core
God is the only hope.
Her soul looks up
sees beyond the dark,
the disappear, the sea of pain.
and dares to trust.

Then a gasp of air,
her grip on death
is snatched away,
life support machines
faces of relatives, friends,
psychologist and strangers,
mix in a bewildering
scatter of awareness,
in hospital realities,
yet underneath
it all,
underneath the shame
is the new sense
she is loved deeply
loved fully for who she is
right here and now,
rescued and alive
for a purpose,
she is seen
without shame
without blame,
And she still has
that choice,
The hope which was lost
She can now find.

Future

06.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Beyond, before time

is your God
Incomparable, unfathomable,
unconquerable
vast
the Great I am.

I am your significance
I am your reality
I am your heart
I am your thankfulness
I am your smile
I am your fire
I am your God

And your steps
are ordered,
known by the Lord,
love will guide
your path
releasing your passion
opening your mind
to an unfolding journey.

You are my mustard seeds
Seeds of purpose
Seeds of change
Seeds of community
Seeds of life
Seeds of the new.

From the small

a cosmic congregation that
will soul sing
the Creator’s story
to a weary world.

Gorilla Glass

06.10.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve

Transparent and hidden
I reach out
and fingers touch
cold and hard
like a mime artist
on the glass box
surrounding me,
unbreakable,
trapped
yet constantly seen
by others around,
The crystal cage
travels life
with me,
and knowing glances
penetrate the walls,
live human dissection
gilded bird man
wings clipped
lost behind
invisible barriers,
People walk by
smiles and reference
they stop talking
lean to each other,
and my mind shatters
fixating on what they
could have been saying,
cracked and damaged identity
within ever-strong
gorilla glass.

Know I am

30.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

There was that day
we had the answers
the keys,
We started so well
hearing the truth
we were known
in God's heart,
100% free, 100% pure, 100% loved
100% valued, awake, peaceful,
100% at rest,
100% purposeful, hopeful, full in God,
totally born for this,
we felt we could do anything
change anything
100% in tune with God
100% home.

Then we
glanced in a mirror
And forgot
what we looked like.

Reality lies flooded in,
Layers of pain
Lost who we were,
Buried alive in
blame from others,
Put downs,
Self destruction,
religious noise
religious disappointment,
So we start selling:
Selfies with the famous
Shallow pictures boosting our
image online,
and concrete slabs locked in
covering what we once had,
Fun for a moment
became the mantra,
Instagram incisions
cut into the skin,
distractions the disease
eating our minds
devouring soul,
The things we valued
were just things,
and dust to dust blanketed us…

Buried living
walking graves.
Ooh child of God,
I always knew you,
still love you,
experience again the truth
that has always been there,
I know the depths
what it means to be buried
I know the weight
of separation,
to fight the thick tomb
of death dealing and agony,
I run to you
I welcome you
no blame
no hesitation,
be released
discover again
who I Am,
I say yes
to who you are.

Spring Snow

29.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Pupils Written by: W Grieve

Hesitating buds peek life colour
into a faltering winter’s grasp
spiralling glimpses of white and pink hues,
heralding Spring with
expanding frills of silk softness,
layered branches bow cloud covered,
petals
drop
delicately
drifts cover pathways
coat new-green grass in the
false winter memories
of snow flakes.

Bees and tourists with cameras
buzz close to the trees,
stamens and smiles are captured,
Spring’s blossom warmth
is scattered by bikes, runners,
walkers and winds,
waking the world
to new life.

Be Big

23.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

The cracks
spread searing
crazy darkness
across the facade
of my mind,
Imprinted patterns
of behaviour.
This me
My fast past.

What are the words
we speak?
to our looks
Our failures, our successes
Is it time to
Realign
to break free
from thought slavery?

Renewing minds
Allowing Christ
To game change
and build a
Firm foundation.

Set your mind on the kingdom
Shifted minds stillness
Aware of God’s thinking
Purpose
Bow your mind
Connected, breathing together
lingering, dwelling with God
impossible possibilities
fearless of death,
Now a Human be-ing.

Putting aside the petty
Choosing not to gossip,

valuing others
favouring others,
Fully alive and free
to be honouring people.

A Change

09.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

How can I
See the new kingdom
See this change
That is needed,
Know God for real?
Standing at crossroads
I see my life stretching
down different highways, low-ways
All directions are somehow me
but only one
Seems fully real,
fully life giving
fully me,
Yet shadows
still dance before my eyes.

Something needs to happen
in me, from me
first, before I take
the next step,
who will I serve
self, God, what others think,
money, humanity's poisons?
I'm Called to home
to repentance,
turning from owning my life
Giving my hopes and dreams
to Jesus,
To see God's glory by
Being changed
from glory to glory,
losing the stuff
strangling my secret heart
That holds me back.

Overwhelming...

Standing at the cross,
Road to being saved,
just a step forward;
I've got to serve somebody,

Christ is the beginning.

Crystal Waters

02.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Crystal waters
Forest green hugged pool,
A still
and alive moment.

The desire is to
plunge deep,
I angle dive
fingers cutting,
Breaking the mirror
water flows
crisping cool to skin
into the clear pool,
Celebrating clarity
Embracing freedoms release,
Dreaming
both fathomable and unfathomable,
in the new
I am reborn,
enveloped in the waters,
a shift in me.

And when I surface
Rise from the depths,
washed in amazing hope,
refreshed, slightly shivering,
I know again
this was an experience
of His love.

Rambo or Ridiculous

02.09.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Fish hook in the mouth
Caught on image's steel of
fabricated manhood,
Rambo fighter or
Bumbling stupid
ridiculous Homer Simpson,
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.

Families torn with violent fists
tearing words
Pounding uncontrolled anger,
stripping life from children’s eyes,
brutal intent breeding
Contempt in those
men should protect,
bankruptcy of relationships
thrown into a spiraling maelstrom
sucking spirit from society.
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.

We hear the call
have a desire to be different
to be the Man,
to be the father, brother
but the struggle…

against the media images
of men
against the claws of sin
and weakness,
slashing character.

But there is
one Powerful love,
stirring strong love
Compassionate of heart
A tenderness to protect
Who in His difference suffered
took the weight
of the world on His shoulders
and cried, "It is finished"
Sin no longer rules
in the power of the cross
You are free, because Jesus
Nailed sin
cancelled sin,
took the fall
Paid out all
Paid it all,
deleted it all
Released your guilt
freed your past and future.

Yes, pure passionate love
uncompromising love,
stirring secure love.

Your strength is in Jesus
you can rest in His peace
Do you believe this
impossible possible
from Christ?
Shake free from false lines,
Real men, stand up,
take a stance,
shoulders, spine firm.

With Friends

26.08.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

With friends
wandering the sunshine
saturated woods,
the journey of years
Footprints in the paths
we sometimes walked,
deliberately ambled,
Running again and again
on some trails
just for fun or
sheer pleasure,
Other tracks discovered
fresh and new,
explored one time,
A history tapestry of trails
previous moments;
shared laughter, deep talks,
generous thoughts, babies,
celebration, hugs and tears,
being human,
Through it all
the heart of life beating.

The random
Throw of dice,
fate turned eye-slitted mask,
pain that fastens
Claws into journey,
And suddenly
in a glade the
Sun is eclipsed
trees disappear
Dimmed to shadows,
friends there
but distant as the
mind shuts against reality,
life closes slow motion
To moments and long waits.

You have
a diagnosis of RCVS,
and they have the big words
to back it up:
Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome.
Did I pronounce that right?
MRI, spirals of tests and requests
more information,
and you meet a new tomorrow
Where life's worth
Narrows to a thin light bulb
in the glade,
hanging on gossamer thread,
You stand in the clearing
light dim around,
it seems misty
without mist,
lonely
with friends,
real
and surreal twists together,
echoes of
“it shouldn’t be this...
how can it be?”
words, sentences,
paragraphs, stories
tumble from
white coated
important strangers...
from friends
mixing with your own
complex fractures
and connections in
your mind.

Is there an
indifference of meaning,
clocks ticking whisper
echoes
air wispy
"This time, this place.”

What can we say
but we’ll be there
ready for a hug
understanding your battle to
be strong in facing the mountain,
helping you through the words
knowing they are not your sentence,
praying for you
blessing the sun
on your face,
light into your forest glade
to lift mist and distance,
opening eyes to see
the Creator’s touch
deep in your soul.

In the Eyes

11.08.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

I firmly shut the
internal garage door;
deliberately,
The noise ricochets over
the tiles
through the next door
into the lounge,
My wife glances up
from the couch,
already speaking
Passing the ball
tag team style
from her day as Nana,
I'm loving our relationship,
"Who is this?
It's Poppa.
Here he comes"
I slow down
Peeking through the glass
top half of the lounge door
my gaze angle slanted
towards the open
blue carpet of the floor.
Already looking,
Anticipating
are my grandson's brown eyes,
He sees me,
Looks, intently
a part second,
And he sees me, real...
and grins widely,
moving immediately
standing in a wobble,
Lurching forward
as I open the door,
"Here is my Arthur,
look at you.
It is great to see you"
I stop
Standing over him,
we are both
smiling broadly
with looks locked,
heartbeats of
seeing the other,
Capturing the memory moment
alongside all similar ones that
have occurred,
His arms lift up
and I bend
Scooping him into
a hug,
Ready to play,
found...
home.

How much more
is God's love?
Deeper, vast,
more freeing,
For the restless
for the searchers
for the lost
for the orphans
for the fatherless
for the motherless
for the unplaced
for the no life
for the fake
for the don't need.

Hear His voice
Lift up your head
For the King
is here,
The God Son
sees you,
and calls you,
Opens His arms
shifts you
on the inside,
You are not alone,
You were never alone,
Loved and wanted.

With the heart
of a child,
Given in trust,
His love
rests peace in you.
You will now see with
His love...

Impossible?

11.08.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Counting
way too impossible,
Sand on the beach
Pebbles in the universe,
The problems...
my work
the world,
time eaten,
masked chaos,
The giants puff nothing
but seem to rule my life.

Now searing sand
Heat Waves in the desert
baked dry
I stumble,
purpose parched,
Inward intense,
Loser lost,
Stuck in a loop.

"Oh God,"
I cry
for your forgiveness,
I need
Your possible.

And then my eyes discover
shimmering somehow singing...
a distant oasis
that Jumps closer,
God calls
from its depths,
I am the water
I am the bread
I am the life
I am heaven's kingdom closer
I am the birth
I am the Spirit
I am your Saviour
I am your well spring
I am.

There in the cross
locked oasis deep,
a Jesus relationship
a worship,
in tune with the Saviour;
a well that streams
flows living water,
My spirit connects
to the holy,
God present with me,
And I dwell deep
loved infinitely, completely,
in the smile of God
in the eyes of God.

Something has shifted,
Released, freed
seeing the Lord bigger,
Who pours
His joy welling
flooding Soul deep,
Overtaking
Overwhelming
Overflowing.

The water that
wells connecting, calling
deep to deep,
Dance with Him
Dance in the
River,
The water that
wells connecting, calling
deep to deep,
Flow
in the river,
The water that
wells connecting, calling
deep to deep,
waiting, resting and
found in the Lord,
The water that
wells connecting, calling us
deep to deep,
To be the water of life
As mirroring waters
flowing, flooding God's glory
To the city
To the Earth.

11.08.2018 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Do you ever...
one moment
Sitting at home,
next
just wanting to
Leave?
Get out, find space,
seek different, explore new!
Seconds later
Decision made despite
Dark winter night outside,
Destination decided.

Heat pump off,
Keys in pocket
Lights flicked,
Darkness descends inside
as you remote flick
the garage door,
It clatters upwards
as you don jacket
Bike helmet and gloves,
set LED lights to
"Don't hit me” flicker
and fasten them to front and back
of carbon framed track hunter,
Pushing out
Sneak quick under the descending
Metal sectioned door,
first metres with flashing lights
illuminating dark driveway
to neon pale street,
hitting curb street drain
onto road bordered
by shadow naked maples,
cycling the adventure,
hanging hard on street corners
weaving back streets and cones,
cold sneaking wind tips
stroking cheeks
checking out coat zips,
Almost
feeling faster than cars
as their lights creep
up beside me,
and then wide berth pass
my peddling
side-to-side shadow,
the tarmac
my playground
my heart pound.

Riding the night lights
To the mall
- fried dumplings and new shoes!
