When the Heart is Full - Christmas


When the heart is full
what else can there be?
No room in the inn
but Christ still came
for we
who opened our hearts
and treasured that He
would be our all in all.
Born of the Spirit
living still
our hearts to fill
with peace and goodwill
as the angels foretold
there'll be nothing less
in hearts full of Christ-
oh blessedness...

2 Timothy 1:9-10 This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

perhaps pretending - winter

perhaps pretending
is a way of understanding
how the sun shines
on the firs
as if a Norwegian winter;
how the moons reflecting
on our river
is the same as on the Seine
and to savor lavender fields
of Provence
while strolling here among
the meadows in spring;
how the birds swirl
in the sky
as if in
England,
their songs  to sing;
perhaps pretending,
while bereft of being there,
is to find an understanding
that to simply be aware
is perhaps the same
as being somewhere…

in silence be (reverence) - winter

here we sit in silence be
in reverence
of Love from Thee
and know we have not
ever earned
what you have given
nor could return
the grace or goodness
given we
in reverence
sit
in silence be
