Move 
On
Leave
Off
Pass 
By

Its not as bad as it seems 
To fray and split
And silently swallow 
The screams

Empty is plenty
When I don’t look back
Shadows lack 
Skin in the game

Now I am ashamed
That I became 
Attached 

Move
Past
Leave
Fast
Pass
By

Pacing quickly
I do not feel the sick
Spinning night games
After dark

I called a thing what it is
Now I do not believe myself
Seeing my reprieve was in myself
And now I know no thing

Lest one true thing

This pierced me

Past the ache to heal.


Move 
Along
Leave
Me
Pass
By

Wisdom too profound
To be drowned by sour wine
On the beach
Promise breeched


You called my thing what it is
And the sting of iron nails
Impale what I promised
The one true thing

Should have

Likewise

Passed
Me
By

REFLECT

on the Words that God first gave to us. Meditate on the Truth that has made any of our words mean anything…

  • READ Psalm 39:9-13

  • READ Exodus 12:13

Strikes me as a powerful connection between Calvary and Passover and being caught mercifully and painfully in the middle. Thank you for this.

This makes me wonder what I could become too attached to, to look back towards. What pitiful reprieve could I hope to gain in a scholarly approach to the faith ...taking notes during a sermon... when held up to Christ enduring the cross, despising the shame.
