Peace is a river washing over me on a warm summer’s day,
Sensual and soul filled, it cools and soothes me,
cleansing mind and body of all that is not God,
until I am joyous with torso bursting Spirit.
Like teenage infatuation, I lie clear; bathed in love; resting in Him.
“let the peace of Christ control your hearts,
the peace into which you were also called in one Body.”
Colossians
I take off those old, brand new clothes,
Which will be paid off next year, perhaps,
and remove them completely, replacing them,
with clothes from the thrift store.
So I can live humbly in His presence and Peace.
“put on the new self”
Colossians
Waking up and heading down the dark stairway,
I turn no lights on, and rely on the quiet light,
of your heart to guide mine through this day.
With a single, long, beautiful and silent embrace of wonder.
I leave the day at Your feet and joyfully savor my “buzz” of peace; retained today.
“See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to the tradition of men, according to the elemental powers of the world”
Letter to Colossians
