What can a love sick heart carry but its desire?
What can come from their song
but its message
of want
to be filled with more affection,
more warmth
that drenches all the
shake
of aches that come when too far
from its fire.
Embracing the cry
that wonders into the city
of a great God,
falling to its abundant
and brilliant attraction!
Stumbling into this city
of a great God
I embrace my cry.
Apologies come spewing forth
as drinking from
this fountain
feels like consuming the riches
of gold untold.
Lifting my eyes
to see if I am invited to
stay,
I am puzzled at such a great welcoming
to not only stay
but to take my
fill with more than enough.
Soak, feast,
refresh
and stay for the finale
of seeing the difference this walk makes.
Like entering someone's conversation,
over hearing and becoming enlightened
to new…
so comes to one
who enters this Place,
the city of a great God.
Seeing beyond the surface
flesh demands,
seeing where Light
carries who He is
as the flame of fiery love
opens
senses to breathe.
Frantically the flesh reacts
with darting eyes to feed its selfish weakness,
consuming all it can
for
death it feels is happening.
But, what
is Holy
has the key to staying
and new desires
rise in me
as finding old
satisfactions
do not fulfill as they did before.
Love adds its oil over me
and my dry hardened heart
releases all fight to surrender
as it becomes my choice
to stay.
