| Entering the Church |
These caverns deep and dark
filled with a twinkling light
spit me wide as with a fellers' axe.
A clean swoop and I lay upon
a wound of deep red blood bathed
in caressing waves of undulating candle light.
The heart removed and beating wildly
despite cool granite laid upon
soothing contrast to the warm glow
of shadows dancing a dark veiled joy.
Contented passion rings off earthen walls,
men in robes vibrate the savior
deep into ventricular pores, filling
the chasm as candle light and sound
slowly fills these caverns with warm
and languid fluid, easing bones and blood.
The sigh is strung on organ chords
as my head falls back of its own will,
eyes closed, and lay with him
beneath the throne as rich walls echo
wild fragrant peace with abandon
beating like puffs of incense on the alter. |

Name: ~KL~
Home: Ipswich, MA, United States
About Me: 1 Corinthians 1:26 - 2:5 "Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things - and the things that are not - to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eleoquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive owrds, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."

"To know and to serve God, of course, is why we're here, a clear truth, that, like the nose on your face, is near at hand and easily discernible but can make you dizzy if you try to focus on it hard. But a little faith will see you through. What else will do except faith in such a cynical, corrupt time? When the country goes temporarily to the dogs, cats must learn to be circumspect, walk on fences, sleep in trees, and have faith that all this woofing is not the last word. What is the last word, then? Gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk, through storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and sweet corn and flowers, through sports, music and books, raising kids - all the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through." -Garrison Keillor |
