Openings … Invulnerable?

The strangeness of invulnerability,

Hermetically sealed … a presence within,

peaceful and serene,

seemingly undisturbed, or undisturbable.

Following His will, wherever that leads.

“He said to him, “Follow me.”

Gospel of Matthew

Openings … Take off the New Clothes

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

Scraped little knees upon a patterned sofa,

Take the position waiting for father,

Eyes, desperately searching the road for his presence,

Through a window, metal, thin, shielding no cold,

or wind, just rain and some transparency,

a minimal function, like the missing parts, a mist.

Waiting for his return.

The small boy hopes and prays it will be today.

“God gives a home to the forsaken”

Psalm 68
