Hungry?

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
A hole in each of us
opening our essence
Challenging us to more.

So we run
Or sleep
or pretend fulfilled life,
we blunt
Bludgeon the hunger
Bit by bit
whacking the mole 
filling the hole
With faking scraps
Spending our soul
labouring on never satisfaction
Seeking
Distraction and dissatisfaction 
a swallowing snake
of small shallow things
consuming
joy and freedom.

So ask…
for the hunger
for the stirring 
for new moments
for more,
Pursue God,
Seek hungry friends
Awaken hunger in others
Awaken the sleepers
Who are just waiting
for your words,
for your actions.

But first - 
Ask
Seek
Desire
Hunger!

Starting Thoughts: Are we just trying to fill a hole in our lives? How hungry are we for God to change our lives, starting with ourselves?

Together Always

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
When the wooden doors 
Swing open
the ifs and certainties continue
The past and present collide
suspended in melody
and streaming sunlight
Painting colours throughout
stained glass onto church pews.

The music swirls,
you pause in the moment
ready but nervous
Poised for the next step
the start of your walk,
A ceremony commitment 
The moving of self 
to become two,
This time
has flowed from days of
dates, experiences
humour and talks.
And you walk
arm in hand with your father
his grin wider even
than your smile
and you head nod
to friends and family,
White bride and 
sparkly shoes dad
Processing to the front of church,
in the midst of
a community of those
who are your precious memories
deep connections from your lives,
You are in this one
day of your life,
this moment
as bride and groom,
And with the words
"I do"
the art
of marriage begins
a new canvas
painting
a vision for the future
allowing growing colours
growing love 
growing self
growing together
Leaping together
exploring boundaries
discovering more in each other
Traveling life together
partnering Best friends
Falling in deeper love.

On this special day
Listen,
Hear God’s heart 
placed with you
shattered with you
Sharing with you,
The circle of the ring
a reminder
His Love never ending 
flows into your life
flows with your steps.

Together always
….with a loving God.

Starting Thoughts: Written for friends on their special day. Always awesome to be part of the celebration of covenants exchanged in marriage.

Speak Sparks

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
What do you declare?
What words fall death
Lilting lies
Gossip slights,
Silent sighs.
Do you watch
what is spoken 
from your heart?
Uplifting life
from your lips
Voicing the remarkable
Agreeing with heaven
Agreeing with God
Speaking today’s
love spark.

Starting Thoughts: Words are so powerful. Gossip, lies, truth, negativity, positivity, honour (honor) all from words that spin in our minds or from our lips.

On the Lips

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
On the lips
On the tip 
Of the tongue,
in the Facebook feeds
in comments
There is flood of Honour
Expressing God's love,
releasing, sustaining
the heart of God
His kingdom,
Honour flowing 
from the honour
in our lives,
bottom line,
You have the 
best for me,
I have the 
best for you,
You want to
polish gold in me,
giving life,
I seek the gold
hidden dimensions
In you
seeing the better,
encouraging new life
Fresh levels of love and gifts,
Not easy
but I won't
give up,
instead I'll 
give away the mindful
the positive,
I respond
to the call of
The power of 
the Holy Spirit,
As my mouth opens
I speak blessing
mindful of your worth,
for my God
died and rose 
for you
For all,
everyone has significance 
in the Father's  eyes,
and in faith
I believe my God
and honour God's 
spark in you.

Greatest esteem,
one to one
spread to others,
with Jesus honoured in
His rightful place.

Warning: this writing and video deal with the theme of suicide.

Lost

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.

Louder is Stronger

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Because you said whatever
it must be the truth,
beat your honey lips
Drum louder,
so we presume
We are hearing the real,
Media layers
websites, facebook, instagram,
social media poison drips,
lies like flies
coating your lips,
buzzing off the corpses
of facts bloated,
balance not considered
as rhetoric extremes
sell more, get more hits,
death hits
suicide hits
humanity hits,
Reality bits.
A world of lost
in clamour,
Voice barbs in the mind.
Voices
The whispers in your mind
circling your thoughts
choruses streaming from the past     
into the secrets of your heart.

Voices
from the whispers of your heart
To your spirit,
Hearing the call
Deep to deep
from God.

Voices
hear the rolling thunder,
know the powerful name
of Jesus,
The One
who claimed
He was the way, life, truth.

Starting Thoughts: In a world full of voices, what are the strongest ones we hear, respond to and influence our life. How much does media, opinion, comments, video influence the decisions we are making? Where do we find and know truth? Can we hear it in the noise of life?

Dirty Devices

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Criticism, innuendo,
fear, power plays
stalk our churches
destroying creativity
limiting potential
strangling revelation
consuming trust
stealing from the future,
Critical mass
achieved constantly
as we gossip
and position,
the power of the flight,
fight response 
magnifying the damaging
words.
Five positive
to one negative ratio
is it a joke?
Thread your mind 
back through your day
and this poem can 
be your next negative
or positive,
depending on 
what you find
what you remember.

Jesus said,
“Love God, Love others”
I know...
Salvation is in my soul
victory is in my veins
child is in my creativity
love is in my life
but letting others have it?

Do I really know 
the freedom of Christ?
“Feed My lambs”
Do I love Him?
“Feed My lambs”
Do I let His love flow?
“Feed My lambs"

Decay

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

Sunday Tolls

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve
Bells peal
Summoning the battle lines
Satan rubbed
gleeful hands
as people were
called to church.

The Lord stretched
His spirit
to those who came
Victorious loving power
to those that
bothered to claim

But the people
did not love
they couldn't
in division
slander
respectable sin
and divided
they fell
while God waited at the door

And the devil got up
and danced on the altar.

Knife Moment

Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word |Seeker Written by: W Grieve
Refugee from
dark kaleidoscopes
of noise machine demands,
I can't find a place,
Firm
where I find me,
Strong where my heart
is held in something more.
Random in a random world?
Nothing beyond
No reason
No soul,
In stark thought,
Naked reality,
Just white tree bones
of scattered self
on a firestormed landscape,

I laugh
slightly mad
Yet crystal clear
It is Time to snap,
Die,
Or find life.

Starting Thoughts: There come times in our lives where we know we are on the edge of an important decision, a moment that will change our future directions, hopes and dreams. We know the choice we should make and what it means if we don't but somehow it still seems so hard to make and year paradoxically easy.
