Excerpt from "The Yielding of Holiness"

I hope
That our unfailing love
Cries the kind of tears
That heal every kind of hurt,
As those who overcome
Limp away with thoughts of Jacob's sinew.
IAM Israel.

Excerpt from "The Seasons of Fruitfulness"

In communion,
By Your Fiery Spirit,
Let us be fruitful,
And multiply,
Out of the abundance
Of our love;
Falling like leaves without end.

Thoughtful Thursday Peace
"Secret Sacred Love"

Away to the spirit realm
With purpose I am enlightened.
Played like an instrument
I am the notes of worship
Arranged on a staff.
Its lines are the deepest
Forms of intimacy,
And it's spaces are the purest
Forms of light.
Early in the morning
I awaken to a dream
To see a peculiar wave
In the shape of a face
My feet are cleansed
By the hands of gentle rushing waters
Now my footprint travels farther faster
Back toward the beginning
Of our unfailing love.
Bring all things
Again to my remembrance
For now I am sure
That I always knew You.
Alas, help me to fully engage
With Your presence here
In this, the place of secret sacred love.
