Poetry

The butterfly's meant to flutter free
Around the gardens of delight
To find it's sustainence within
Bring beauty to those in it's sight
But first it has to fight it's way
Through various stages of it's birth
A caterpillar crawling round
Concealing all it's joy and mirth.


Surviving all it's enemies ...

Things work out for those who wait
As long as you don't hesitate
Fix your eyes upon The One
Who finishes what He's begun
He has got you all worked out
Watches while you flounce about
When you finally give it up
Then, with you, He'll come to sup.


He'll share what He has in mind
Together, ...

Do you trust a hand unseen
Delving where the world has been
Taking hold of your supports
All your crutches, masks and forts
Sorting out the bitterness
Various secrets to confess
Life that you have come to know
Disinfected by the flow
Of living water, washing deep
Into the depths where devils creep
Wanting you to stay defeated
Down at heel, afraid, ...

A glowing coal falls on the hearth
And slowly it turns grey
The heat subsides until it's cold
And then it's swept away

A branch is cut off from the vine
The consequence is dire
Without the sap, it will dry up
All hope of fruit expire.


If we go it all alone
Thinking we know ...

Here I am awaiting you
My arms are open wide
It’s time you spent some time with Me
Instead of trying to hide
For I’m The One who wanted you
To make My purpose known
And like a bird that’s found it’s wings
You’ve left My nest and flown.


The world is such a dangerous place
...
