I See You

To the children who come to school everyday Without proper clothing for the weather, With no food in your bellies, And when nobody at home has told you, “I love you” Or let you know you’re worthy of their time and attention, I see you To the children who come to school With bruises that you cleverly hide from me, And emotional scars that run so deep, You sometimes wonder if your momma is right That you’re not worth the time and money they spend on you, Or you brother is correct that the only way to survive is to join a gang, Or your sister has a good idea when she says that the only way to feel complete Is to find a boy to love you, though he uses you and hurts you, And your father isn’t even there to tell you That none of this is true, I still see you To the parents who abuse these children, Telling them with words and deeds That they don’t matter, That they can never be enough for you, And that life can never be any better for them Tha...

Naturally the Garden Grows

The seeds are planted in the ground, The rivers there to water, The frequency of Heartbeat’s sound Now gives birth to the Promise And what now have I here to do To aid in this expression, But with that Heartbeat resonate, A pure amplification Naturally the Garden grows Without my striving or my toil My choices come from Nature alone And I don’t have to till the soil And as I move about my day, Just by being who I am, The Garden with me resonates And this is how We steward land As with My Father I do walk, Sharing now Our One Heartbeat, And by this to Our Garden talk So Promises can now be seen Oh, Naturally the Garden grows, From Our Nature, by Our Being, And there is nothing else to know, For all We are is everything. 

Faith to Receive

I love how everything Yahweh gives me Is nothing like what I thought it would look like When He first told me I would receive it, And how I look at it when I first see it before me And wonder what’s going on And how this can be And why it looks this way When I was just so sure it was going to look a different way And though at first I don’t recognize that this way is definitely better, This way is definitely better, Because now I can actually give Him something by receiving His Gift, Faith, Trust, Love, I can accept what He gives me in pure adoration, Knowing that it is beautiful and glorious Because He is beautiful and glorious And He loves me, And though what He has given me is not what I thought it would be, I can trust that it is, indeed, better Because I know Him, I know His Nature, And in My Nature, I will Love Him, too And I love how Our Relationship grows When He gives me something that I do not understand. 

What It's Like

How can I describe what it’s like To have ascended beyond anything previously known? Is it like what the astronauts felt When they floated into space for the first time And saw the Earth below them, This giant blue marble On which they’d lived their whole lives, But which they could no longer see in the same way, View expanded so that Now they finally understood how their little blue marble Fit into the grand scheme of the solar system? Is it like what Einstein felt When he saw the space-time continuum for the first time, Realizing that his previous views of space and time, In which he’d lived his whole life, Was but a single perspective of a multi-dimensional Kaleidoscope of a world, One which to which he could never return Now that he could see How space and time fit together Into the grand scheme of existence? Is it like what Peter felt, When asked, “Who do you say that I AM?” And that bursting of knowledge inside of his heart A...
