Unseen

  Why are we so blind?

Why can’t we see? A veil lies between The real and the seen More than we can imagine Even if we can’t glimpse Beyond Don’t stare at the veil too long It blinds our hearts And doubts, if left unchecked, Turn our hearts Away from all his love The living water To wander in the desert For you don’t heal the hurting By wounding their faults Even their whispers of truth Rest on lies   Why do we turn Back to the tombs He’s called us out Fools Like you Like me Like us Inspired by the blindness of Samuel of Hunter and the Circle in Green by Ted Dekker

Savior, You Call

      As I walk the worn path I see the marks of Christians stretched far beyond my reaching grasp, but as the finger traces Your cross upon my brow, Your victory shines through me. We are a witness.
     The dearth of home and rest. We are want. We are need. We are bleeding. Our wounds match Yours in a transparent aspect. Unity.

Ariach swung again, thrusting at my side.
I swung with all my might, trying to knock his sword away. The collision of our blades rang out over the crowd’s roar.
Vibrations shook my blade, and it fell to the ground. Ariach's dagger remained fixed at my chest. I sank to my knees.
I was dead. There was no doubt about that. Ariach reached over and cut my helmet strap. He stared at me for a long time. I wondered what was going through his mind. A tear rolled down his cheek.
He bent down, raising his sword high-
And handed it to me.

Den Vakre En/The Beautiful One

Den Vakre En
The Beautiful One

Warded against
Weapons of foes
All swore the oath
Save mistletoe

Loki, disguised,
Learned of the plant
The bane fateful
To cause Balder’s death

Loki, the sly,
Laughing guided
Blind Hœnir’s dart
Heedlessly thrown

“Where did it fall?”
“Where did it land?”
Asgard fell silent
Aghast by fate

Mistletoe’s kiss
Murdered the god
Odin’s fair son
Asgard’s most loved

Balder the fair

Neighbor
Where?
Where am I?

                                                                                                               When he brought you here.”

River

Step into the river.

Step into eternity.

Water licks about my shoulders, tugging at my hair so it swirls about me like water weeds. I take one step, then another. Lopsided pebbles wiggle under my bare feet, threatening to push my feet away. Fish peer out from underneath the overhanging banks. One brushes against my legs, leaving only ripples to show its passage.
