Loop Poetry Prompt Body
Always at odds
Mismatched energy
Ebbing lethargy
Fear undergirding
Uncertainty lurking
The clumsy one
The dread of not being capable
Oh to be able
The body betrays
Not always willing to obey
The war within
How to explain
The workings of this broken body and brain
Reunion beginning
Soul to body forgiving
To honor this space
To care and give grace
My worth not in the doing
Learn to rest in the renewing
Fear of man breaking
This my body embracing
Loop poetry prompt
Alone or aloneness
To be in the quiet, sequestered away in my safe spot, to sit
and be still where breath enlarges, oh to be alone with the lover of my soul
Noise and clamor, Fear creeping in, accuser whispers, the
utter isolation to be with others and not known, the aloneness.

Eve
Coheir, equal in stance
Naked, with no shame
Fully woman, inherently valued
Filled to the utmost
Created to be creative
Safely ensconced
Fearlessly Free
Beloved daughter
Walk now this way
remember the cost has been paid
The path cleared to move unafraid
Let my light invade
Surrender all fear and all pain
My Kingdom still your domain.
They were naked and unashamed
Slithering bonds enclosing hearts
Hiding, covering in fear
Bloody animal on untouched skin.
, The layers piling on,
Undergarments, corsets, cloaks.
Garments in extravagance all to mask the truth,
Our natural selves cannot bear.
Veils falling open,
Restrictions loosening,
Slowly to allow the unwrapping.
Naked we came in and naked we will leave.
Even now the invitation to walk in pureness
To trust and not be afraid.
Genesis 2;25"Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame"
Genesis 3:7 "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons…"
.Genesis 3;10 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
Pieces of truth
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6
The truth, we seek it, but how often do we seek our own truth
rather than the whole truth. We Seek a truth that lines up with our views and
then begin to judge others according to our truths. We deny the living Truth in others or want to
place all things into categories of truth, not truth, good, bad; constantly moving
into camps. Jesus is Truth. The whole Truth, the eternal Truth, the Truth
beyond all understanding. His love for us is an eternal truth that cannot be
shaken or moved. We, God’s created beings, are carriers or repositories for
that truth. But we are not the sole proprietors of it. Can i be humble enough to bow down before God and say I am not the owner of truth. The bible say's We are to “reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for
you know that it breeds quarreling." Even in our most educated , studied and pious positions we still do not hold the entirety of truth and much of the time it falls into speculation. In Psalm 119 over and over there is a plea to understand, to be taught, to be directed in the ways and the decrees of God. It is not a final destination of knowing but an ongoing relational knowledge that the Lord directs dependent on the heart that desires to be led.
” We tend to hold our truth so closely never seeing the
whole. Or we hold our truth above everyone else, denying the possibility of more truth as yet not seen by us. My heart has recently just felt the weight of trying to discern all the different voices espousing "truth',
but in reality God is truth, the only real “side” to be taken or postured in.
But and it’s a big but, can I also recognize that others do have a piece of
truth as well. Believers have been given the spirit of truth that will reveal
all things but they are not yet fully revealed. Can I start to look at the
many “truths out there and fit the puzzle pieces back into the originator of
Truth, admitting the possibility that I truly see in part as do all mortals.
Romans 7:23
But I see another law at work in my body,
warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin
that dwells within me.
2 Timothy
2:23
But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for
you know that it breeds quarreling.
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments,
and quarrels about the Law, because these things are pointless and worthless.
15“If you love me, keep my commands. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you
another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him,
because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with
you and will be in you.
