Until We Have Faces Again

 I wish that I could see you and everything you are,

That I could look upon your face and honor your beautiful heart,

I wish that I could know you, and that we could connect,

But all of this will have to wait until we have faces again

 

I want you to know I want you and I don’t think you’re a risk,

I see you as a human being worthy of connecting with,

I wish that we could smile and see each others’ expressions,

But all of this will have to wait until we have faces again

 

The news shares faceless numbers and makes terrible projections,

But every number has a face, a human attached to it,

And each individual matters, should be seen and loved for who he is,

But all of this will have to wait until we have faces again

 

Terror is running rampant across society,

They take control of others because they fear a disease

Choosing to offer some protection and some to sacrifice,

Acting with great hypocrisy because they fear their own demise

 

Instead of seeing us as individuals who can choose how we should live,

They decide what they think is good for us by erasing our faces,

Allowing each of us to do all that we can to protect ourselves and those we love,

Would be oh so much better than this egregious breach of trust

 

But what else is going to happen when those making decisions

Have never even met us and mandate from such a great distance

I hope one day we can know each other more deeply and treasure each person as a gift,

But all of this will have to wait until we have faces again.

Dust

 Dust is inherently spiritual, As we see from the fact that matter and energy inhabit both sides of the equals sign In the relative equation of life And though I was taught to value the things of the spirit beyond the things of the earth And then vilified for doing that too much , Still, I came to a place where I could be aware that they are and always have been the same   Dust to dust, As they say, And “from the dust you came, to dust shall you return,” But what happens to dust after dust it becomes? In thousands of years when the dust is pulled together again By the turbulence, gravity, mass, and heat That create the stars themselves So that we are born from the dust anew Even as we will one day return to the dust again In the neverending cycle of beginnings and endings, Perhaps dust is the constant in all of this change, And perhaps as we sweep it away with a rag on a Saturday morning, Or bury it in the ground on a Tuesday afternoon, Stare at it in the mirror on a Monday before wor

Editing

It's so interesting to read something I wrote a year ago and see the seeds of the Revelation I have now planted there, To be able to trace over time The Path that Yahweh has shown me and through which He has grown me To see the seeds of Infinity in words upon a page, And I wonder what seeds are in me now, And what they will look like when they come to full fruition, How they will blossom and bloom And completely change my life and the lives of those around me, How they will make all things new and better and more Real Because Yahweh is in them, in me Even now, And oh the marvel and glory at how He chooses to plant His seeds, The perfection of growth, That all circumstances must come together perfectly for fruition, Sunlight, good soil, pure water, Truth, Spirit, Faith, All mixing as One to produce the perfect conditions for Harvest, And even the process is its own beautiful creation, That the product is its own beauty, but the process another, A double port

Fears

Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by enemies, dancing all around me Screaming Shouting into my head, into my heart In the mornings before school, And at night before bed When I can't stop thinking, can't stop thinking of all the mistakes I could make tomorrow, Remembering all the mistakes I made today, and yesterday, and the day before that one The times I screamed at kids, failed to motivate them, The times I didn't teach them anything or made them feel stupid And the enemy screams and shouts and pounds his drums In a frenzy And all I can hear is how awful I am And how I should quit and stop and leave and go And it's hard to hear the still, small, quiet voice of truth in my head, In my heart, Telling me what I've known all along, but forgot Forgot, forgot, forgot In the frenzy and pounding and screaming of the fears That tell me that I don't deserve to be here And what difference do I make anyway? But He just spoke to me yesterday, tol
