Open Your Eyes

Monday, April 04, 2016 |

Open your eyes.

Oh, you were looking down at yourself, sorry, I thought your eyes were closed.

Can you not see those around you?

Look into their eyes. Eyes are windows to the soul, I am told. I love to look into people's eyes: what life have they seen and observed as it's flashed before them!

May I try on your spectacles? Will you show me the way you see the world around you?

I really want to know.

So I wrote a poem yonks ago with around about 690 words, but because of the length, I think it's more typically called an "epic" rather than a poem.
I know that there is so much more I could add to it, edit, reword,... but I think it would go on forever if I did that, so I will leave it as it is.

the memories of laughter

of life and of death

Whose Hands

My hands tremble

Upward and open

Shaking the stillness

Beneath the ocean

Holy is the Lord

Thursday, March 10, 2016 |

"Holy is the Lord..."

Those four words are so humbling.

"And the Levites who were musicians - Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their songs and brothers - were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord.

Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raise their voices and praised the Lord with these words:

"He is good! His faithful love endures forever!"

At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple of God."

- 2 Chronicles 5:12-14 NLT
