I Know You

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Love
I called you by name,
Knew you before,
Know you now...
Precious 
I love you with everlasting love...
Always consistent,
Unshakeable,
Never ending.
Nothing can separate
You from my love,
Died for you,
Rose for you,
Always with you,
Through
deep waters
shadows of death..

I am there
when you lie down
in solitude,
close
in the frantic busy,
With you forever...
My peace
My faithfulness
My joy
My promises...
I Am your love.

Let's Dance

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Overwhelmed 
feeling separated 
in a crowded room,
It was meant to be a ball,
Fun, Honour, love, friendship
greed, self-seeking, pain,
Marketing and money,
swirl seen and unseen
in this dance room,
Watching from the wall
history spins always changing
yet somehow never human different,
I see and unsee
realms of darkness and light
Masquerades and promenades
But right now
In the paradoxes that entangle me,
A sense of destiny,
and so I wait
Wait in the lies
Wait for something
Wait for life
Wait for a touch of real.

Even as I animate my false smiles
Appearing to all
That I am ok,
I see below the surface
deep struggles in
My soul and
the souls through the room.

Then in the swirl
of bodies on the dance floor
A figure...
Why haven't
I seen him before?
A person
somehow deeply in 
yet beyond the room
is threading his way
through the crowd,
His eyes lock to mine-
Passion...
As he approaches,
Moving like dance
is his being-
Love...
leaps the distance 
between us,
I am undone
Hoping
It really is me
Chosen
Despite who I am.

He stretches out his hand
Eyes looking direct 
Frank and appealing depths,
A smile crinkles
their edges,

Love pulls
my heart
my thinking as I 
Impulsively 
Raise my hand
resting my finger tips 
in his warm fingers,
His voice cuts the noise
Reverberating in my mind
"Hi, I'm Jesus
if you Know me you
Know the Father,
I am the way, truth, life...
Will you dance with me?
Dance free,
Will you rest in my arms?

Rise bride
you will never be separated 
From my power
From this love
I have for you
Let us be together.
Let's dance."

Boundaries

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Only through
the hardness of decision
the sweat of blood tears
the alien aloneness
in contrast to a garden’s lushness,
Only through
Setting his face
to walk, carry, suffer,
speak, encounter, die,
Only through Christ’s choice
did the boundary of the cross
linking matter to heaven
break the power
of sin and death
tearing the curtain
the barrier
between celestial and earth,
Tearing Father, Son and Spirit
Breaking resistant hearts
Breaking the chains
Breaking the masks,
Saturating love, release and potential
to the corners
of our core, of who we are.

And now
in our choices
we set new Boundaries
Stopping unhealthy risk
Bringing security to freedom,
Always safe in the Saviour,
Living out true understanding
Telling others who we are,
We grow from love
From passion
From desires to connect
Allowing others to see us
Echoing God’s love,
Allowing His reckless
overwhelming love,
to richly pour
through us
into the world beyond.

Starting Thoughts: Setting boundaries in relationships, on self, on others are an important part of life. They give security, decreasing fears, enhance communication. Why do we so often fold or keep quiet?

Value

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Like discovering 
a precious pearl in the mud
A precious gem in the rubbish,
A precious diamond in the rough,
Seek the precious
Change the culture,
Bring Favour
See the valuable
Add value,
Add truth,
Bring faith
Create a Treasury of love
A Reality of real love,
Speaking life
Finding good
Declaring what God sees
Calling Future into the present.

Starting Thoughts: How precious is Life and even more is the fact that this precious we discover is a simple reflection of the value - preciousness - of God and what He has done for us.

Honour

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Honour 
Shakes self
Opens self 
Sees others
Acknowledges truly - others 
Places others
Sees hopes
Brings favour to all.

Honour today.

Father in heaven 
Honoured is your name
Honoured with my life
Honoured - worthy is the King.

Starting Thoughts:
Learning to bring out the gold in others, being able to freely honour them, is a way we can bless both the body of Christ and those yet to know Christ. If God is the good in this world, and we acknowledge the good in others, are we in fact honouring Christ?

Left Out

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve
Was it a traffic light
a smoke signal
a not so coded message?
The book lay flat
cornered on our bookshelf
picked from its upright neighbours,
still and quiet,
closed,
there but not there
a metaphor
for its contents.

"How to Cope 
with Abuse"
the title
briefly removed
from a bookshelf
Taken but not kept
held but released
opened but briefly,

The story of a thousand
Pains 
Historical traumas
Fractured hopes
Broken lives
carried within its pages,
forgotten buried,
desperate hands emerging 
seeking from the grave
nails cracked
crying for help.

Was this book
left extracted
but returned
a silent teared whisper
from a brief borrower?

Starting Thoughts: What do we read into the actions of others? Truth from our perspective or theirs? Do we see the hidden messages in what they do? How alive are we to others? I found a book that had been extracted and moved to a lying down position on our shelf . As I reviewed in my mind the conversations we had over the previous hours I wondered, "Did the visitor do this deliberately?"

It Happens!

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
A day behind
this time of now
tired from work,
warm inside
seated lazy,
I stretch out
eyes vacant
heavy with tarmac,
I yawn slow, wide...
and sprain my jaw!

Starting Thoughts: Sometimes things just happen. Funny when you look back, painful as you went through them.

Word Clouds

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

Unfriend

Button click 
Deed done,
Payback or distance

Pulling society 
down meaningless 
Sink holes,
When will you stand

He Favours you
Knows you

Treasures you

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

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.

A call to the new

Move of Freedom

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
God
we stand 
on the rock 
of our salvation,
Proclaiming your freedom 
Raising praise 
Worship for a living 
loving God,
Expectant of your move,
Surging around us
ocean worlds
Crashing Waves
of pain, distractions, 
sin, misdirections.

In the darkness
split by lightning fears,
Standing firm stance 
Together on the cornerstone 
On faith's foundation,
We rise 
Covered in His heart that 
understands pain
Has suffered in love,
And we see in this light 
more of who we are 

We see more of 
who He is, 
Face to face 
Nose to nose
Breath to breath 
Soul to soul
Changed by the 
Life of heaven 
Pierced by the depths
of His desires and intimacy,
We rise 
Singing in the storm
Eternally loved 
Eternally precious
Knowing the stronger power 
of God,
We rise 
Knowing revelation
In His Spirit 
surrounding us
With His raw passion.

We stand as one,
The kingdom 
is here 
Only in these moments
Are We truly alive!

Starting Thoughts: In a world of storms, pain, questions, celebrations and the amazing ,we can stand on the Rock, Jesus our sure foundation and be truly alive.

Worship Breakers

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Carving 
the storm 
Cutting into the eye 
of the tiger
with the light of eternity 
Waves tower yet tremble
before the praise 
of the people,
Hurricane winds bulk
and breeze nothing 
before the worship 
of the people.

We walk through 
the tempest,
Stride across the waves 
renewed in the unseen realms,
Carrying the creator's story 
Lifting the name of Jesus 
Convinced in the cross
Called to be who we are 
in the grace flows,
Believing in this reality 
thankfulness releases faith 
And praise raises 
worship in the glory,
The call to Christ released 
the call of the church released 
Christ Church released.

Starting Thoughts: The power of praise cutting through the icepack, through the storms, through the hurricanes of life, through the attempts and plans of evil. We have strength in the worship of God to turn all things for good.

Trust Sails Away

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