Poetry that Inspires, Uplifts and Encourages
Toward Divine Intention
Dreamt of long ago
Formed in time and space
Nurtured in a sacred space.
Thrust into discordant cacophony
Possessing a redemptive restlessness
Longing to reflect God’s vision of who and what
He made me to be.
Stepping to and fro from forest trail to riverside
Roaming deserts and ice fields
Traversing oceans and mountain peaks
A restless quest for that which is bigger than all of creation
And more beautiful than perfection.
Waging holy wars
Against the powers of darkness and dread
Struggling to stand in the face of adversity.
Rappelling down the cliffs of chance and circumstance
Toward divine intention and grace-filled promise.
Submitting once for all time to the Creator.
Relinquishing my stubborn will and wants to the
Originator of all thought and deep desires.
Surrendering my entire life to the One
Who formed me out of dust and Adam’s rib.
Formed in time and space
Nurtured in a sacred space.
Thrust into discordant cacophony
Possessing a redemptive restlessness
Longing to reflect God’s vision of who and what
He made me to be.
Stepping to and fro from forest trail to riverside
Roaming deserts and ice fields
Traversing oceans and mountain peaks
A restless quest for that which is bigger than all of creation
And more beautiful than perfection.
Waging holy wars
Against the powers of darkness and dread
Struggling to stand in the face of adversity.
Rappelling down the cliffs of chance and circumstance
Toward divine intention and grace-filled promise.
Submitting once for all time to the Creator.
Relinquishing my stubborn will and wants to the
Originator of all thought and deep desires.
Surrendering my entire life to the One
Who formed me out of dust and Adam’s rib.
