A question to answer
With our being whole
Acknowledge the fact
That we have a soul
Of greatest importance
For us to see
For it will exist
For eternity
Of greatest importance
For us to care
Let us commit
Of it to take care
Of soul to nourish
With prayer to be fed
With Word and love
Of Your living bread
To exercise
In serving the poor
With gratefulness deep
Our God to adore
Above be the binding
To humanity
For love will exist
For eternity
Encounters ahead
Prepared this day
Bless me a thought
To hold onto this day
You love this soul
Completely, right through
Letting nothing stop
Me from loving them too
Each one beloved
Is precious to You
Crafted uniquely
In Your image, true
With gaze of the heart
Let’s practice here
Accepting as One
In a silent prayer
What does the soul need
To begin each day
Beauty, silence, stillness
Ingredients to pray
Light of inspiration
Air that’s fresh and clean
Moving of the colors
Spirit which to glean
A setting full of wonder
A palette full of peace
Embrace of love extends
For souls will to release
A drawing of pause
To contemplate
Treasures of heaven
Here now awaits
God of gracious patience
Always pursuing you
If today You pass Him
He seek tomorrow too
Is the soul water?
Is the soul light?
One thing we know
It’s Gods delight
Is it an emotion?
Right here or above
We find in its dwelling
A being of love
Is it who we are?
Or who we’re to be
Source of our life
Of eternity
What is the substance?
Let our thought advance
For a better questions’
What’s its sustenance?
For matters of the soul
Things that we can do
Let us make it simple
Duties, there are two
The first is to wonder
Open to surprise
To be filled with awe
Unseen and with our eyes
Second, is to gently
Let go and let be
For our God is sovereign
Place our trust in He
Always taking pleasure
In gifts that He provides
Dwelling in the Spirit
In Him let us reside
The soul must perform two duties. The one is we must reverently wonder and be surprised; the other is that must gently let go and let be always taking pleasure in God.
~Julian of Norwich~
When the light fades away
Autumn finds its chill
Darkness fills the sky
To leaves the colors spill
When the crescent moon
Takes its position back
Time for stars to shine
On a palette black
When the air is still
In space the light enjoyed
A song of silent psalm
Slips in to fill the void
When the prayer is felt
Peace consumes the night
Body finds its rest
The soul is tucked in tight
There was a sunrise this morning
A wonderful gift blessed by You
A soul stood in awe of its beauty
And let the colors flow through
There was a soul touched this morning
Surrounded in quiet of view
One of divinity drawing
Connection of love shared by You
There was a prayer offered this morning
Response of a soul blessed anew
A binding of grace shared in moment
How gracious the glory of You
There was a soul sent this morning
With joy of a purpose so true
Walking with Spirit of lifting
To share the giftings of You
Here is a soul of returning
Of things not done and failed to do
Welcomed back into Your arms
Falling into the mercy of You
