I fall
Face in hands
I fall feeling
Incomplete
Ashamed
Wayward
Confused.
I say
I am sorry
I say
I re-pent
Which means
To turn back
To the high place
Which is my home
In Him
Re-turn to Truth
And away from lies
That brood
Like murders
Of ravens
Circling overhead
I am sorry
That I was short with that one
Frustrated with this one
Couldn’t love like I should
Didn’t forgive like I wanted to
Turned a blind eye
Left in a huff
Screamed
Shouted
Threw things
Got upset
Stormed out
Was short and flippant
And know-it-all
And huffy
And unkind
I re-pent
And I re-turn
To clarity
Warmth
Acceptance
Love.
He says
It was already forgive
So long ago
With my blood
On a cross
Washing over
Every single transgression
That will ever take place
Inside every heart
Open to the kingdom
Inside of me
I say YES! I want THAT citizenship!
I want to traverse those lands
I want to rule and reign
And govern
And mature
Within you
And so I
Re-turn
Again at last
Home!
To the mansion on the mountain
The throne made
Of chiseled gold
Of rainbow essence
Of love and glitter
And possibility
And creativity
And aything you could possibly imagine
That is good and joyous and fun
And holy
We were meant for this goodness
And these lessons
This ebb and flow
This course correction
And grandiose celebration
Transgression
Forgiveness
Wholeness
Returning to love
Again and again
You and me
Yeshua
You take it all
Crumpled up
Shoved in
A brown bag
Made for this purpose
You take it all
Consume it
And filter it
These bad memories
These chaotic emotions
These massive confusions
Gone now
Just gone
Forgiven
Redeemed
Started anew
Within a second
It is done
A new day
Begun
Even though
It is still
Night.
