Matrix Moments

Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Standing in a Crowd

Wholeness came
through the hole in time
the pivoting point in time
collisions of past, present and future
and the King who became human,
began thirty years
journey on Earth.

God:
Passion sending purpose
Love leading to suffering
sending the light
revealing the blood cost
knowing the loneliness of pain
bringing life out of hell
singing life out of death.

Servant:
on a donkey
destiny hidden in simplicity
deliverance hidden in sacrifice,
surrender freeing salvation
to all people through
the King of miracles
the King of creation,
Palms laid, palms raised
A carpet of Praises
a crowd of worship
recognising the Saviour,
The eternal work of God
made flesh
made to ride
made for betrayal
made for the joy
made for the passion
made to die
to change
everything.

Self:
In the crowd
we stand
praise or playing,
Living lives of
possibilities, potential
pain, power, passion.

In the crowd
we can survive, hide,
Or decide.

Starting Thoughts:
Where are we in the crowd? Just hiding behind the majority, safety in numbers? Willing to stand out and be different? Are we prepared to make a decision for our King?

Seen

I saw you
a shadow part
of the crowd,
You’ve come again
to hear the words,
feel friendship,
something more,
Dying at the crossroad
yet fascinated,
that God’s spirit speaks.
Your crystal moment glimpse
is of living,
but this life scares,
so you embrace
freedoms
that generate chains.
“Let the dead bury the dead!”
You see...
almost,
but camouflage and dark glasses
are your world.

In Memory

A memory snatch
Bouncing red hair
across the crowded room
and the past crashes back,
memories flood
surging tides
through my mind,
Can it be you Sarah?
enjoying a dance
loving the beat of life?
no responsibilities
just fun, boys and loneliness.

I knew it stalked
your heart
you dreaded losing
friends who could make
you laugh,
the crowd of noise,
club of thrills
or parties
that had to be sucked
dry of every minute,
Crowded time
that meant
less moments
in a lonely bed
unless it could be filled
by someone who showed care.

The score is displayed
in the dance music,
only the fast
furious pace
will do,
slow melodies
encrust a mirror of loneliness,
lost reflections in your heart.

Reflections in my mind.

Why am I here?
