He would be
A lovely boy who lived
Close to the frog pond
The tadpoles would catch glimpses
Of him through the refractory waters
Walking to and fro in the cool of the day
But could they trust their love? How could they ever measure up?
How many froglings does it take to amalgamate
A suitable consort for a King?
All of them with all their hearts
Eyes fixed skyward
To see his face and speak at last in the tongues of
Men and angels
I have not thought about the dark house in years.
There were roads not taken—a house in the woods, a beautiful Victorian with no yard, a dog-less condo.
When you are old you realize how much you did badly
So many regrets.
But not the landlady, not the note, not the conversation between the nice neighbor and the petulant four year old
Defiant on the roof of the porch when she should have been sleeping
Later, much later, she would sleep when she should have been
Defiant on the porch of the house
I pray the time machine prayer
Dear God, permeate the darkness, the loneliness, the horror, the nightmare, the hell the children went through
Let them sing in the courts of the Temple of God
Hosanna, hosanna in the highest!!
You have to see past the blood—your own and his
The stinging sweat and the jeering crowds
The voice in your own pounding brain
Nay, voices—
Saying that no king of anything could die like this
Alone and vulnerable in the dumpster fire of all
You have to focus on his eyes
What he sees and what is reflected in them
Love beyond measure/sky without end
And you must listen to his voice
Agony is too small a word for what he has done for us
The fire of the wrath of a holy God
Substitutionary Everything
Nothing left without Him.

Like a kid waiting for Christmas….
The spooky looking woman stood in the cold storage room of a thousand embryo banks
Wild-haired
Wild-eyed
Barely human
Trying to teach the little ones the answer-
Why should He let us in?
For God so
Loved the
World
That He gave
His One and Only
Begotten Son
That whosoever
Believes in Him (Yeshua)
Should not…
Perish…lose the ticket…be barred from admission…let go of his hand..forget his face…let their pride conquer Truth
But have Eternal Life
Carrying Light
