Born Again.
Rob me.
Take all of my bravery and will.
Free me from self-preservation
And leave me bare of defenses and potency.
Weaken me.
Strip me down to what I really am:
Thoughtless.
Devoid of form and color,
Shape and purpose.
Remind me that I am completely
Incapable, incompetent,
and
Impossibly hopeless
Without You.

Shine.
Every morning
I brainstorm
On new ways that I can
Be better.
I muse over dreams from the night before
To calculate their divinity.
I breathe deeper
To clean the air for my fellow man.
Stand up straighter,
On tip toes,
So that I can get a better view of the sunrise.
Smile with
Eyes closed
And
Laugh with
Head back,
So that You can see
That I feel Your gaze…
[…though I am sometimes too shy to look back.]
I think of how I can write
With more insight,
As to not waste the light that peeks through
Your partly open door.
Exercise the talents and gifts I have
As an avenue to decrypt a portion of Your delight.
I’ll devise future plans;
Make room for love to have its way in me,
Because all I
Really purpose to do
In life is
Make You smile.
