Let me carry love
20090901


And now I shall wait
within the depths of raging tempest
beneath a sun darked orange with smoke.
And all that comes to mind is Your love...
I think of the things carefully fashioned and made
that we are holding to
and wonder at surrender:
What You have sculpted for us to cling to.
Not a reflection of us, but a focus of You,
A focus on You.
And I wonder at the times
when you want us to look but not touch
and how lonely that feels.
Because sometimes there is smoke
and sometimes there is fog
and often there is mud then suddenly desert,
with scorching and searing and longing
for a drop
of rain, of water
Of Your face again, the touch of Your breath,
the smell of your voice,
instead of the stink of the algae
and the gator before me
and the smoke in the sky
while the dragons roost for the night.

I know I have felt Your love,
now let me carry it!
I have seen Your face through lenses,
let me now gaze on You face to face!
I have felt the breeze, and even the wind.
Now breathe upon me with Your breath.
I must have You, must have it all
I must know You, I must come to You
Draw me to You, don't wait a single moment more.
My existence cannot sustain me
You alone are my source
You alone are my life

I open my hands, relinquish my creations and trinkets
Open my hands to find You, to dig for more
To never get enough. To seek You through night
To hear Your voice call up the dawn
Longing for You - Endlessly

Your love like a tempest enters my form
and from the holes of me stream to you melody.
Love, yes love
Flood Your Love through me
Teach me to love You the way You love me
Show Your love of others, and let this love burn in me
Move me by Your love ways I have never know
Move me by Your love, and stir me with compassion.
