move me...

Inspire me                        

& empower me,        

O God...                       

to fulfill the plans           

you have for me...                 

Empty me                       

 of anything that          

is not of you...                     

Fill me with                     

you overwhelming                       

presence.                 

Open my eyes                    

to see past               

the superficial,                 

and into the spiritual.

Saturate me with your          

truth & your               

love...                    

Guide me. Push me. Break me. 

Move me.                

 

           

        

a parallel...

   Grey skies,

a soft drizzle,

   the occasional passing of

a bird, 

     chirping 'good mornings'

to the world... 

  the foliage bright green

        covered in droplets of rain... 

thunder rumbles

     in the distance...

    the dehydrated earth sings songs 

           of praise and rejuvenation

 as it thirstily soaks in every drop

           of moisture... 

a cool breeze brushes 

           the leaves and 

it begins to rain again... 

the surrounding trees' vast branches

     reach towards heaven, 

         accepting the gift from 

    above:

renewal and provision for the day.
