Wishes

Who knows me?
How much do I hide
even from myself? 
Spiralling dreams
and whisper wishes,
So much wishing
for favours
for the new
for salvation
for freedom
for revival,
for change
without being changed
without being change
without taking a step.

Burdens accumulating in my mind
Chains cold, snaking, tightening,
Hard to hear myself
to know who I am.

So
Can I be be real?
give God full access?
Can I start with
knowing the truth
of how Jesus sees me…
as a beautiful soul
as a redeemed Spirit,
And take step by step
a journey
to freedom?

Starting Thoughts:
Do we really understand how Jesus sees us and accepts us. That He knows us for who we are and ignores this in the grace and love that flows from the Father's heart? He truly sees nothing other than the beautiful in us.

Starting Over

I wear a habit
Or is it the habit
that wearies me?
like our world
that whirlwinds
revolving histories
of war, prejudice, greed,
increasing rootless change
lost and moving values,
the same stealth spiraling
tunnels disintegrate my life,
mind tears,
Contained at first within me
Pieces of my soul
torn again,
floating on self sabotage,
habits creeping wreckage
Doubt, lack of something,
Fear and flight
take pains deeper.

Then despite my careful facade
trying to hide the turmoil,
The clawing winds
Escape through
My body, eyes, mouth
Starting destruction
around me,
In people and places I move
Driving deeper
turmoil, addictions within me
All for self
never good enough
but self important
choosing a world of
Wild Tornadoes.
I ask what do I value?
How can I change?
Do I want to change?

Replacing the old for the new
Knowing I'm not alone;
I go after Him.
I kneel before the Father
Centered on Christ
Looking into His heart
Being with, abiding in Jesus,
I ask for His love
of endless depth to flow
rivers of cleansing life
to heart and soul,
becoming rooted
and established
in amazing love,
new foundations of openness
in God and others,
New depths of prayer,
real infused living,
I stand stronger
immersed in power of
divine spirit and mind,
I share my thoughts, desires
I pray for grace, boldness
I step
into the character
I want to own,
To honour God, others, myself
Sooner than ever before.

Bible Verse:1 Peter 5:10

Prompt
The whirlwinds that devastate our lives? Are they worth it?

Starting Over Christian Spoken Word POem

Small Makes Big

Step by step 
the mountain top
Footfall by footfall 
the revolving treadmill
Drip by drip 
the deepening chasm
Seed by seed 
the spreading forest 
Second by second 
disappearing years
barb by barb 
mind piercing cuts
Not enough by not enough
tentacles of addiction
Lie by lie 
snaking self deception
Taste by taste 
a tantalising smorgasbord,
Nail by nail 
a complete restoration,
Smile by smile 
a living relationship,

Twist by twist 
the turns of life
Care by care 
feeling deepening love
Space by space 
the freezing emptiness
Word by word 
the unfolding story
Up by down
the corkscrew rollercoaster
Beat by beat 
the rhythm of hearts
choice by choice
the new risk
Molecule by molecule
the big, the wonderful truths.

A Change

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.

In the Bubble

You have come
Committed to us
Love to us
Born with us

Why did you bother?
Just look around 
and see the pain
Beyond our bubble of life
Maybe even in the bubble 
- the hurt
The environment groaning
Crying out its slaughter.

But your heart
Responds, responds
deliberate unconditional love
The same power that sustains 
Universe spinning galaxies
Birthed vulnerable
Laughed free, 
Knew injustice firsthand,
Felt pain depths,
Cross hung
The father turned his face away
Time suspended
The unknown of three.

And then power!
A time to live
A time for amazing
A time for the biggest 
Divine miracle.

Risen now
The last word
Is Forever alive
Love to us.

His world changing
love starts with us.
In the Bubble- love christian poem

Such a Time

It is your time
this moment
The purposes of your heart
flying to a new horizon,
A sea sunset
before you,
Colour stretching opportunities
that look thin at first
in the light of day,
But stand brighter
as darkness falls,
And as you travel
to the distant thin line
Distance develops behind,
distance from previous relationships
distance from harmony conversations
Distance from the land left behind
distance from what has been safe
distance from love in the Christchurch city,

As you travel towards
the iridescent line
a new day dawns forward
in a dissolving horizon
Creating new destiny
new conversations
new shelter and freedoms
new love,
a luminous life
for you are
God's lights
fireflies to the horizon.

Starting Thoughts: Written for friends travelling overseas into mission. A word to encourage and celebrate their new journey taking part of us with them.

A journey of mission and opportunity poetry

So Often

So often
We see the past,
Nostalgic dreams,
Rose's thorns,
Tint memories' eyes
Colluding, enveloping thoughts,
Until timelines change
And living yesterday captures
Today.

Fake experiences
Strangle tomorrow's hope,
Patterned life abnormal normal,
Arteries clogged- hardened.

Changes?
Something new?
Challenged?

Starting Thoughts: Do our memories of the past enrich our present and future or slowly strangle them? How do we cope with the problems, sins and fears that keep dragging us back?

How do our memories and experiences of the past influence our present and future. Poem - Spoken word

Opening

I walked through
rooms of my life
drifts disturbing
my mind,
I gathered stained grey
impressions and
prejudices,
and Spring cleaned
my feelings
and thoughts
to others.

It felt cold first
as the winds
of change
froze my being,
the inner space seemed
bigger but desolate.

And then you exploded into
my existence
colouring rainbows
painting laughter
bringing summers and
tumbling sunshine.
Fresh creation cascades of
outside life
crowded pushing
through doors
bursting, filling my life,
reviving reality in realities midst,
bringing diamonds of
joyful tears.

Starting Thoughts: Sometimes we are ready for a sea-change, something new, a radical shift. And little did we know that this was the moment that God will burst into our life, he's always been there but now seems to be the moment we are open to Him.

Spojken word poem on making choices and experiencing amazing life from God

Life Currents

Life can be complex
Sitting on the outside
Never trying to be in it
Towel sitting,
Waves calling.
Some sail adventures
charting rocks, storms and whirlpools
Canoeing wild rides
Meanwhile
I lie lazy
tanning melanoma
Will I look only?

I take a drink
From the coolie
It bubbles cool, inviting
Coke is life
Lol
It is a lie!

I can't be filled, quenched
With artificial.
Only in the water
Flowing, living water
Salt or stream
Is true life.

I wake up holding the bottle
Sunburn on the way.

Prompt
Do you just sit back on the edge of life, watching others, wanting more but not quite able to make it across the hot sand?
