Tell me once again. The story of your capture. Remind me of your difficulties, not that I may feel torn by your suffering but see the righteous example of your standing. I wait in hope for the moment of your freedom, holding huge gulps of compressed air next to my beating heart. Walk with me so I can let this learning linger and prepare my mind for tomorrows causeway to the plateau beyond.
Sing to me of your sadness and hope. In dark sultry tones deafened by the thought of your jailers. Did you employ joy against despair? Did you help yourself to purpose and provision? What held you there? Did they cut your hair forcing you to blindly drop the temple upon their heads? What did you hear? Or did you speak filling the night with words in quest to cancel the fires of fear?
Dance within the dream to give this life rhythm commensurate with cave painting days and antiquity. Where did you go to that you ended up right back here in this rustic venture of repetition and dangling participles? Where to next as you pen circles so deeply on the pad that it cuts the parchment in little geometric origami. Do you know how proudly I’ve watched you wonder into victory? What kick started your sky born shuttle?
Hollar out the names of those who taught you folly and those who took your hope. For passions sake in forgiving moments remember to forgive and live the life he planted. Seeded by the heavenlies with gifts envied and sought stealing. What plans do you have outside of this splendor? Is there anything worth more than the perfect pearl or smile of those who loved you, truly loved? Peace is offered for taking to welcome each inhalation and prayer as you write your Poem for the Father.
