Steadfast. Immovable (Part VIII)

Steadfast. Immovable (Part VIII) is the eighth of an 11 part series of poems I wrote in 2010 during a time of transition. Transition has always been hard for me, but this situation, I really experienced God shepherding my heart as I left one role and move onto another. He did a lot of shifting on the heart level for me. These poems celebrate how constant and strong He is in the midst of life's uncertainty. (1 Corinthians 15.58)

Christ steadfast. immovable.

            a much deeper devotion, oh God

            in you, the word within

            one prayer resounds,

the silent rumble

            of Your wonderful will

                        i am among those stretched

                                    lost and looped,

captured and indwelt by You!

oh come on, God,

            all that You are is in me?

did You make me

            to hold all eternity?

this is a mad man’s lyric

            the oxymoron

yet so met and sense-filled

            with the resonance of this world.

i find joy beneath You

i love your own humility

                        so a-part

            it’s all of me

so beyond

            that it has exploded in erratic colors

                        in unsearchable joys

                                    unknowable tastes

                                                that make up to-day

You are so satisfied with Your ways (in me!)

            a fumbling, God-filled, idiot.

                        Yours.
