Out of your heart speak

Loop Poetry project


Oh where to find the words
to be out front
expectations weighing down
Asking for fear to be displaced

"out of your heart speak"
"Your heart and mine intertwined"
"declare my heart in this place"
Continue to relinquish the need to please
"Trust the words of the one who resides inside'


Luke 6:45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

where are you

Devastation
Anger
Shock
We don’t understand
What is your plan
 God?
We prayed and cared
Loved and dared
to believe
Still we are told she is to leave
To go where God?
Back to the mess that wasn’t hers
Your name was supposed to be enough
Go after the one
But now it seems to be done
God
DO you weep too?
Will you still yet come through
Hope like a microscopic seed
Is it enough?
 you say to ask and plead
by your own blood
What else do you need
Is heaven filling even now with our tears?
Tell us why,
please make it clear
Your word says your plans are higher
Praying yours for her never expire
 Hold them, hold them near
Surround her with angelic protection
God we still need divine intersection

Looppoetryprompt mid week

Listening to my heart


I hear a faint beat
It is well with my soul
This moment at peace
Fear under control
 A sabath treat
 Pursuit of joy
 A space to create
 Not letting emotions toy
 Tomorrows pressures delayed
 Contentment the word for today

Looppoetryprompt the lie

#Looppoetryprompt
The Lie

Wild joy
not mine to obtain.
Legacy of loss,
hope always constrained.
Coasting in neural.
To delight unrestrained?
Desperate for renewal,
for mind and heart to be retrained.
Total blockage removal.
Spinning, dancing, unable to contain
wild, crazy, unusual
to be given a new name
Live as his jewel
Passion to be unchained

Memory

#Looppoetryprompt

Memory
A dreaded word
An elusive place
I reach to touch
It escapes again and again
Uncooperative neurons
Shame sure to follow
Files never found
As if yesterday wasn't
A longing to engage in story
Captive to Frustration 
 Today only exists
Blessings in the now
today is here
Which will I choose
Ambivalence or Embracing
An invitation
The gift of the present

#looppoetry prompt inner silence

Dust and slime
From the daily grind
Today rising in unknown Dread
But here now gift of renewing instead 
Jesus gently bathes
Wiping away yesterday's haze
Your heart for me
To be presented blameless and holy
This the truth
Exhale, release, breath in the new
