Note to self

Sometimes,
the most powerful place of warfare
Is when you are flat on your back,
soaking in worship.

The Beach

You are calling me
In the wind and the waves
"Strip off all that hinders
And walk down the beach"

You are calling me
My feet sink in wet sand
And I wade through the water
To the sound of your voice

You are calling me
Into the deep
To dive into cold
To plunge under water

You are calling me
There is so much unknown
But for your voice in the waves
"Come here girl, come deeper."

At the Jetty

I’ve found some time

And I’m coming to look

Are you still there?

By the lapping water

In the shade of the trees

As you once were in my dream

And my heart it leaps

For there you are

Sitting down at the jetty

In the cool of the day

Waiting for me

Waiting all this time

And of course that’s where you are

The lake is full of fish

And you’ve been waiting for me

To come and be with you

We sit side by side

Legs fall in the water

Which laps oh so gently

In the peaceful place

I’m shy in your presence

For you are captivating

Every now and then

My eyes dare to look

Full in your face

At your eyes

Your smile

Lord I have so much to learn

But right now we’ll just sit

On the edge of the jetty

With our legs in the water

Jack

Our time was brief,

your life was short,

but know Son, you are loved.

We know so well,

you're in safe hands

with Father God above.

I know not of

the mysteries,

the details in and out.

But one day

we will meet you Son.

We'll tell you, we're so proud.
