conflict of time and agreement.
I said I’d help you.
I may not be able.
I said I’d helped you.
it will inconvenience another.
I said I’d help you. I will keep my word
though it will not make her happy.

Talk poem
I talk and you talk and we talk
I assume, you assume, we assume,
We don’t talk around each other.
We don’t talk through each other.
We try to talk to each other
__
I try to be silent, to protect you.
You try to be silent to protect me.
Our silence only hurts each other.
Our silence only hurts ourselves.
I do not want to hurt you.
You do not want to hurt me.
__
your jokes and play
sometimes hurt me.
My play and jokes
sometimes hurt you.
I talk, you talk, we talk
__
Our communication is
Better than it was.
I talk, you talk.
We talk
I feeling
Discouragement, delay
God answers:
Deuteronomy 31 verse 2.
I look it up
“2 I am 120 years old, and I am no longer able to be your leader. And besides that, the Lord your God has told me that he won’t let me cross the Jordan River.”
I wonder how did Moses feel?
__
Discouragement, confusion
How did Moses feel?
He spoke with God like a friend
yet how did he
feel at this end of this life?
to Follow
To follow my King
though death and evil stalk me
to follow my King
through darkness and fear and doubt
to follow my King
through paths of difficulty and pain
to follow my King
He’s promised presents beyond His presence – which alone is amazing.
To those who’ll stick to it through the end,
to follow my King
Joy, and Life and Reward
Feast of the Lamb
I long for the Feast of the Lamb
A bride waits eager for her groom
I wait for my LORD, His day
A feast of hope and joy
I long for the Feast of the Lamb
///
I long for the Feast of the Lamb
The Feast is beyond my imaging,
a time of Joy and Reward.
To see the long departed,
the Living again, the resurrected
I long for the Feast of the Lamb.
///
I long for the Feast of the Lamb
The Lamb’s Feast, a banquet of God
Heavenly Joy, beyond human limits
capacity of joy and pleasure,
Connection beyond flesh,
Spirit to Spirit intimacy
I long for the Feast of the Lamb
Native tool
These are not my native language
not my pure expression,
action, deeds, movement,
is my thoughts
Yet I need words–
Scratched in dead trees, carved in electrons on screens,
absorb through the eyes– the forward section of brain
perceived through vibration through the liquid of air
words are not my native care.
///
I learned them secondary, a need to express–
a thing I need,to get
a caress of care,
love,
of correction,
and food.
words are important
vital to shaping
the good
both myself and others
the world and my gut.
///
words become my world
have words invaded me? have words colonized?
They have been absorbed regardless
were they are ambassadors? diplomats?
a thing that surrounded,
from conception to now
words are not native, to me.
yet I love them. Hold them dear.
Helps me connect to my peers.
words are my, natural expression. Now.
Though they are not yet my first preferred tool
Be ready
lies
cause damage,
the pain and strife
what lies to I believe of myself?
What lies do others believe of themselves?
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink.
They must be willing and seek on their own,
in their own way
in their own time.
All you can do is be there–
ready to give them the water when they seek it
that’s all
And let God the Father do the rest
taste of the Feast
I sometimes think I imagine
I have a small taste of Christ
to wait in faith
to be eager for the wedding
but to have a bride, unsure
she is unsure it will not happen
but I have faith that it will.
My Father in Heaven has said it
to be so eager
and to still be me
for that is all I can be
to collaborate
dreams shatter
collide build
reassemble
mighty and small.
different than they were.
together, two wills give birth
to creation.
to collaborate
Fiance
I am your Fiance
The wedding hasn’t happened yet
I wonder how many realize we aren’t yet married.
The Wedding Feast of the Lamb is when that happens
For now, I am part of your dedicated fiancé
I look forward to that day
