Living God

Great Northern
Great Northern fronts
Can be quite blunt
Blowing back and forth
With a kick, pass punt
–
Shock waves that sound
The chiming windmill
Which cannot behave
Then becomes still
–
With tears on my face
I tend to the mill
But I have fulfillment
In this long winters’ chill
–
Trusting in God
The key to my strength
Endurance, resilience
To go the length
–
Soft winter cloths
Caress nightly with salve
For this cracked deepened smile
At the frozen improv
–
Crisp sunny days
Leading love to the verse
Settling yesterdays’ bout
With the cold winters burst

Lessons
Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind
–
The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length
–
With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain
–
A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed
–
Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
Loves greatest lessons
To be learned
–
On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won
–

A Prayer for the New Year
