Matrix Moments

Your light shines
cutting worlds of grey
a beacon
on a rocky headland
Lifting hope
in stormy seas
a promise of warmth
a promise of home
a promise of new life
Light of the world
cutting the black fog,

Our eternal guide.

Starting Thoughts: The light of the world shines through the fog, cutting a reality into our lives and providing a way home.

Why do I talk
the mean words,
Lazy words
words that don’t 
change the world
Words that circle
the drain and just slip away
Words that have
no power to change,
Words that chain
locks on circumstances
Words that hurt
others and myself
Words that just fill time
Leak time
Waste time
Waste life.

Can I be honest?
Can I be open?
Can I talk to God?

Can I ask God
for a touch of heaven
on Earth?
The changes of heaven
brought to Earth?
A release of
what is happening?
So here I am
talking to God,
Praying
Opening the situation,
Believing in the 
next steps,
Hearing His call
Hearing His voice
Seeking to know His direction
Stepping with God
By Talking to God
Praying with God.

Starting Thoughts: Does God seem far away? Is talking to Jesus just echoes in life's canyon? The questions of prayer, of just simply trying to talk to Jesus rather than wasting time on negative talking and thinking.

How we play
Ignoring questions
ignoring the gaps
Turning on
Noise and screens,
For our focus -
Odds on favorite -
is Pleasure.

Power, position, possessions
The plays of life
Days of life
Chasing the cursed dream
we catch it, rich cream
temporary fulfilment,
and it dries
ashes in the mouth,
Death a taste away,
Chasing the cash crop
why would I stop?
Spinning into nothing
is what I am avoiding,
The void always
apparent beneath my feet,
Running fast enough
so the vortex
will not suck me in
for I have made myself God.

If I died tomorrow,
was it all just random...
Or will I meet Jesus?

Starting Thoughts: We chase stuff! Not quite like a dog chasing a car but we tend to focus on money, status, pleasure, sex, work and in the end I wonder what we have achieved. Christians are not immune either, when we take our focus of God and relationship with him we can be running to catch-up with our image of God.
