Poetry 3

Navigation (May, 2013)

And hence, I go forth

to find my true North

setting my eyes on things up high

not on distractions here that lie.

to go forth with a strong inside

confident, loving, all in stride.

God, your Spirit leads in power

for that, I need no place to cower.

Open doors for your mission & glory

open ears and hearts to your story

God direct me where you are

so I might embrace You & shine like a star.

I long to know you out of this muck

& not complain about how my life sucks.

I believe you are moving & not asleep

but awake & alive to guide all your sheep.

The connection is faded but not at all gone

I want to love you like in the book of John.

You draw me closer, ever so near

You say, “Not to worry, I am right here.”
