Fall starts today
Each season
I’m face to face with You
And the fires
Fire
The emblem of Your purity
Lord
The emblem of Your
Nearness
The falling away of all
That is unnecessary
The falling away of all
That is rotten in us.
The blue sky
Weeks without the blue sky
I waited for it
Wondered if I should
pray for it
But I simply thought aloud
With You
Maybe the unknown can
Be embraced?
But it’s here now
This newness
This blueness
But it has always been here
Except that it was hidden
In You,
Has what’s been hidden
Beginning to sprout?
Have I let Your seed
Take root deep enough
To produce a harvest?
I pray so, Father
I truly pray so.
Why do we forget that
We are Your planting?
The very works of Your hands
Our every fiber is Your desire
The glory of the sun
Through this blue sky
I have new eyes
Fire
Your fire lights up the soul
And the soul starts to see
Same eyes
But the new seeing is from
The soul
From the heart
It’s true
When we close our eyes
It’s when we start to see.
And faith grows
Patience is exercised
Trust is nurtured
And love confounds the mind.
Here, I delight in You God.
