Wonder-ful Woman

Wonder-ful woman
The world wonders at your full
PAINts
and fraught colors.
Wonder-ful woman
Full of what weakens us to watch you.
You are the better half
of wonder.
You fill the waking hours of anticipation,
dancing vibrantly on the opposite side of doubt;
Too proud to pay it attention
So it becomes broke-n.
and that is why you are wonder-full.
Wonder-ful woman warrior
Gracefully holding the Sword of Truth
and with one wafting wave of the hand
you fling the enemy
and tell it how big your God is.
With one wavering of the wrist
even your mistakes breed divine
through the colors on your soul's canvas.
You are the Wonder-ful woman
that inhabits the true essence of God's likeness.
Wonder
ful
woman.
How can one wonder when watching you?
Surely, even the grass yields to your footsteps
as your heart widens
on this journey that has found you, because your steps are divine.
Your wonder-ful-ness is what confirms
God's grace.
And if you are found
Surely, He is
El Shaddai.

My Seed of Light

Truth is light
a cliche that has not brightened many lives,
because lack of faith hinders blossoming.
I no longer inhabit the darkness.
I am stretching out pure roots,
and good soil nourishes my
growing.
I am the same seed searching
for select soil so that I can
spread my soul and spirit
in the Sun.
My Savior has summoned me
from my surly surroundings.
He inhabits my heart and holds
it heuristically and holistically so the horizon of my heart
has hollered, Hosanna!
Thorns and thistles covered my
personal garden of Eden where
God wanted to walk with me
in the cool of the day.
However, He has cleared a path
for escape from what choked
my growth,
so even the wisdom that sprouts
from my scalp can break thru
the hard soil that surrounds
my conscience.
He has sent the Shepherd
with a loving rod to drive me
to my wealthy and wise place
Where I might truly be a child of
light.
With a Light burden.
