The Big Burden Now Released.



Fully retired.
Topsy-turvy day.
Sleep in the afternoon.
Now 8 PM seems like morning.
Poetry pinkies tapping away.
Inspiration rolling in.
Stuff on the meditating table
Last couple of days.
Burden to have released
For the blessing of dear readers.

You may have the Mind of Christ.
Ejaculated prayers in pressing
Circumstances
Bring on His whispers
For the asking.
Not pastors eight point sermon
From seven weeks ago.
That was head knowledge, carnal
Memory work.
Remember all your high-liner
Scribbles.
Wouldn’t you rather
Have access by anointing
To the Agenda and heart-leading
Of the Saviour, Shepherd, Elder Brother?


I would.
In the Garden of Olive Crushing (John 17)
Jesus asked the Father that
We might be made One
As they are One.
That Triune orbit of accord. Partnership.
God answered in the affirmative.
We have it.
Must only exercise in it.
Find yourselves beautifully beggarly.
Amen. Go out there.
Being in part, the Christ.
