Wonders

Waters unquenching

My heart unrelenting

Continually clenching

Can’t seem to fill

 

Drinking sea water

Sun burning hotter

Dehydrated daughter

Ever Yours still

 

Trained to save lives

Yet I cannot save mine

Grasping for something

 

A part of me dies

It’s all on Your time

Gasping for oxygen

 

The sea has swallowed me

But it had before I dived in

This, the last thing I wanted to be-

So sweetly broken

But sin is a condition

But this fisherman keeps fishing

For men and not fishes

For silly people like me

Inconceivable

Incomprehensible

Why?

It does not make sense

 

For I was a still born

And yet on that morn,

You said, “This one is mine.

I knew her before time.”

 

But dead men can’t walk

Nor can they talk

The best they can be are zombies

Nonsensical and ridiculous as jabberwockies

But this is a revolution

A purification of pollution

The greatest solution

The redemptive promise fulfilled

The greatest became the least

And beauty died for the beast

Love has saved us from our fall
 

 

For spring comes after death

The fall has fallen

Let us sing with each breath

Of the One who fulfilled every promise

 

For to kill death is a miracle

But this is hardly empirical

To say so would hardly scratch the surface…
