5:55 am...rising
kneeling at fence posts
praying through the fog
knowing where I belong
but not knowing
if I ever will again
having chased
it all away
willing simply for presence
the very ground beneath me shaken
all beauty...
all focus...
lost
fading
a tremoring
known only from the movies
rumbles under me
over me
curiosity
and a heat that I have never known
comes
far too close for comfort
protected only by a wobbly wire boundary
covered in the Spirit's delicate daily dew
easily could be trampled
but the gentlest of eyes
and the softest nose
cause me to remain
even in my fear
realizing it's not just the cows' eyes that are upon me...
Hosea 14:2
Say to the Lord
"Forgive all iniquity
and receive what is good
that we may render as offerings
the bullocks from our stalls"
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves
so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves.........
