Poetry is the intimate language of my heart, through which I both express my devotion to Jesus and receive His gentle love.

The Music of the Distant Drums

What happens inside when you hear the sound

Of the distant drums

The ancient flute when it starts to whisper

Deep in your heart?

Remembrance of the the first tribe

Remembrance of the first fire

Remembrance of my first dance in my mother’s womb

Remembrance of the warmth I felt

When my First Father

Took me in His arms

Remembrance of the words

That cannot be repeated by human tongue

But the heart of my heart knows them

And sings them

As my first native language

****

At the Source of All Things

At the source of all things

There were only you and Me

You stood before My eyes

Uncreated and naked

As I poured in your being

The truth of your design

The rain of my thoughts rained down on you

Intensely and generously

Before the first umbrella has ever opened

Before the first worm of doubt has sneaked out

Before the second thought has conceived

Before you’ve learned how to defend yourself

From Love

Before you were made

You knew, I loved you

My First Run

Today, I ran my first race

Instead of just talking about running, dreaming about running

Writing a poem about running,I actually – RAN!

My feet were clumsy, my legs were heavy, but the ground was soft and kind to me, covered with dry leaves,

Bouncing me higher then I could ever hope or imagine

I felt silly, and I was shy and bearish, choosing the pathways less visited

By people, but I – RAN!

The gentle wood opened itself to me and I jumped straight into its chest

Today, I said “yes” to my spirit’s desire, and “no” to my lazy body

I felt like a young eagle who got his first flying lesson

Vulnerable and brave, cause it is about that -

Learning how to overcome the heaviness, how to spread your wings,

How to jump into the lightness, and become friends with the air,

Running is just a transition between walking

And flying
