Hidden

I don't desire
For my shoes
To be swept off
Your porch
And tucked safely
Inside
Where peering eyes
Have no view
I don't desire
To be
Hidden away
As you mull over
My strengths
And weaknesses
And try to conclude
If I am a worthy risk
I don't desire
To be judged
And criticized
Because you are
Always right
And I am not
Afraid to admit
When I am wrong
I don't desire
To be a maybe
Or a let's wait and see
I am a YES
A declarative statement
To be made with enthusiasm
And pride…
You don't have to know that
But I certainly do…

Extraordinary

Words
Can’t explain this
Couldn’t create
Or erase this
God did this
I don’t yet speak His language
But I know it invokes a spirit to spirit
Communication
And I recognize
that it is happening
Right here
Between two imperfect mortals;
Stripped and bare
It defies my limited vocabulary
And my finite brain
But I sense it
And more will follow...
