Digital Death

Why, why, why?
In the dark corners
Wasted moments and hours
Silenced hopes
Muzzled voices
and unplugged power
we sit slouched
Curled, trapped with choice
Lying back passive
Lovers of the screen
Stroked by endorphin
adrenaline sleep
If only we could lift
eyes beyond pixel boxes
digital square coffins
take a step outside
or even look out a window
and drink in
the imprint of His nature
still stamped on our world
see wonder
and wonder…
See under
the patterns
a better why.

Starting Thoughts: In a world of increasing screen addiction will screens become an opiate that LEDS us into a distracted, numbed non-life?

Dot Praise

You are vast,
The power
Universe sustaining,
And yet dust
A dot in space
Holds your love.
Maybe not the only dot,
But we are your creation
Created for good
Sustained, released in Christ.

Created to praise
To shout out
"God is good!"
In all circumstances:
in grey emotions
in dark pain valleys
in breathtaking mountain tops
in darkening sunsets
before light spilling sunrises
within expanding spinning galaxies.

Starting Thoughts: Sunrises, galaxies, sunsets, mountains, valleys, dark, light, pain and peace - in all times God is good.

Desert

18.04.2010 Filed in: Poetry |Christian |Video |Spoken Word Written by: W Grieve

Tired arms
leafless, lifeless
stretch for new existence
Old ways shed as
animating Holy Spirit rain
descends watering
particles of seed faith,
Dry desert awakens
to the knowledge
of God's truth
of God's power
of God's future and hope,
Leaving behind the past
extending into the new
the blooms
refresh
re-green
revive the barren land.

A reforested signpost
of God's love,
Lifting...
heavy hearts
hurting souls
cynical minds.

Starting Thoughts: Dry Life, choking like a desert, sucking and spreading inexorably? Can we find something new to turn around desertification of our tomorrows?
