Matrix Moments

Years rim her eyes
Tears creep achingly
Surrounding thoughts of past,
Her child given away in pain,
hope's chance,
Now struggling
in adopted family.
Lost to life beyond
Given away separation.

Cuts of rejection,
truth mixed in
life's sewage.

---CHANGE---
Yanks present tense
into future hope...

A startling phone call,
hopeful letter,
proposed tentative visit
newness explored,
fears crazily mix
into possibility dreams.

---CHANGE---
Time kaleidoscopes
past thoughts to today’s
encounter,
Mother hugs transformed baby
Father embraces grown infant
Siblings discover each other
Lost has found
happiness tears,
treasured hugs
tucking of hair behind ear,
shared laughs and
silent peace moments,
now anything
seems possible.

---CHANGE---
Hear the call,
You are
Adopted
sons and daughters,
Afflictions, pain
paid for in
cross dragged hours,
He has sought you,
Run to you,
You are Adored
forever completely
deeply
in Jesus’
resurrection love.
