numbers

2 shows, 1 stage
unbended knees
and answered prayer

3 camps
a touch and laughter
a song and flutter
a girl and shatter

7 years
a full circle
the beginning and the end
hopes and dreams
mirrors and smoke

2 ghosts
gossip and church
red flags and attacks
aches and breaks
silence and strangers

forgiven and loved

envy lurks

because He has been generous

entitlement rears its ugly head

because a girl wants more

her heart was discontent

her circumstance only exposed it

her mind was forgetful

of her many sins and His vast forgiveness

there was once a woman

who was similar yet different

they called her a sinner

and unworthy

twice, she chose the good thing

she broke the jar,

she sat at His feet,

and poured out her worship

yes, she was forgiven much

she not only loved much,

she loved Him first

red flags

the more i learn,
the more i wanna tell myself
to RUN
can’t save you
if you aren’t saved
no matter how philanthropic
your philosophy may be
if you keep feed your eyes lemons,
dung is what becomes of your deeds

…on

there is a love that lasts

but mine was stuck in limbo

a question was raised

and a banner danced in answer

the year after

red flags don’t show

when your glasses are tinted like a rose

but when God speaks,

His children hear

though this heart may break,

these eyes will see

and these feet will move
