“From there you shall seek.” So we played hide and seek. At home — and in exile, across the corners of the world. We searched in silence.We searched in cries. Through spring days that overflowedand winter nights of crushing cold. Even when the game frayedand stopped feeling like play. . You win. Come out —wherever …
Bruises bloom along my body,scars grace my face. I lift my voice — My God, my God — I leapt. The air did not become hands. Witnessthese scars of faith.
Wake up, I exhale Your love, as in bed I lay;I pray: thank You for Your faith for another day. Through the sun’s warmth, I feel Your embrace,Your being wrapped around me in loving grace. And when the heat begins to make me swelter,I take refuge under Your leafy arms for shelter. The wind blows, …
I bear a silent, sorrowed load,I’m bowed as I’m breaking.I feel forsaken on this lonely road,Hope seeping out — I’m shaking.
