Journey Home

~ Journey Home ~ 

Closed eyes, lids shut tight

Diving inward, immersed

Beneath entangled thoughts

Swimming amidst Ego’s landmines

Swaying, bobbing, a victim of

Undercurrents ebbing, pushing guilt

Pulling, flowing with fears

Eyes open, sudden awakening

Releasing to embrace willingness

Letting go intentionally

What is this that beckons me onward?

Luring me with Omnipresent Light

I follow, opening to trust

Acceptance of my spirit’s

Natural state

Doors unencumbered by hinges and locks

Open upon request as beatific songs

Fill my ears, “Come closer, trust I Am here”

Opening, exploding with desirous longing

Thoughts of guilt and doubt fall away

Softly I step into my own longing

Embracing the Eternal Love of Christ

I am home

I am home

I am home

Drenched in Thy Love

~ Drenched in Thy Love ~

My body born heavy

Feeling forsaken

Thrown to the beasts of darkness

Gnawing, devouring all hope

Nightmarish imaginings

Strangling my voice, silencing

Truth

Questions devour this heart

Oh God! Is this life?

Save me! Lift me up!

Fill me to the brim with

The beauty of your Light!

Silencing the lies

Giving trumpets to truth

I fall away from dreams

Landing upon that small space

I Am Home

Impregnating my soul as I breathe out

Inhaling your Love, your Cause, Your Grace

My Spirit floats away into my heart

Heaven was always within

Anticipating the return!

I am drenched in thy love

I am riddled with desire

I am obsessed with memory

Eternity lures like thick sweet honey

Alas, I am One with You

Upon Learning Forgiveness

Upon Learning Forgiveness

Forgiveness forges fires within my heart

Expanding my soul into wondrous flight

Grasping for Heaven with severe intention

Dreaming the hostage is now free

Forgiveness thunderously crashes through my soul

Waves embracing the ragged shores of

A life complicated in simplicity

Opportunity how you have knocked at my heart

Drenching my spirit with the wetness of love

Bleeding into passages unknown

Yet known - scary, dark and gloomy

Forgiveness extending, bursting with light

Brightly seeping beyond chasms of thought

Growing hope and nurturing faith

I awaken in a gasp for air beneath waters of despair

Forgiveness pulls me back from the ledge

Opening vision, seeing fantasies of misery

I’m forgiving the world of all its strife

I’m forgiving me of nebulous dreams

Breathing and living the truth of life

Allowing healing, expanding beyond

The littleness that had me bound

This Dream

This Dream

(Original artwork by David Mesple. Title: Ha10-43 - Graphite on gessoed canvas 50" x 72")

I never danced upon a million stars

Yet in my dreams I do

My heart never beat a billion times

Yet in my dreams it does

I am not here in this world

And Never was and yet

I dream of you and I

Of suffering and pain

I dream of our escape

This dream carries us toward the stars

Toward where God exist beyond

Beyond this dream of mine  - of ours

Beyond what can be envisioned

Awakened in the dark by Light

A Light intensely devouring my heart

A Light dissolving all darkened images 

Collapsing time and space

Purging my wild imaginings

I am with God and always was

In a place one chooses not to dream

I let go of all that is not real

 Embracing God’s singularity

I cannot suffer nor can I cry

Over nightmarish fantasies

For God’s true gifts to us all

Are love, Peace, Joy and Forgiveness

Throughout Eternity

~Enter - Julie Lynn~

Secrets kept beneath God’s breath

Are never revealed until

The moment when in expectation

There is a face given a name

Time spent in worry and wonder

Dreaming of who shall appear

Thinking of moments not yet

Lived and then with forceful love

You breathe deeply and I sigh

You jump the bridge between

Ocean and land

I welcome home my

Newest love

The supposed pain is just a dream

The magic is put into motion

Greeting hugging looking

Wondering if we’ve met before

Wispy hair and the softest skin

Breath so fresh in this foreign land

Our eyes drink one another in

God’s secret is revealed at last and

I grasp your love and hang tightly

For together we’ve an adventure

And we’ve made a pact

Forever you’ll be a beat in

My heart
