A little wit, a little struggle, a lot of Jesus

Fire and water

By Tresta on Jan 23, 2015 07:26 am

The waters parted for you.

Split in two

Right down the path home, and you came back.

Came right.

Came around to who was waiting.

*

I waited.

*

The fire to burn you,

Never touched.

Never singed.

And you walked right through the flame

To me.

*

I gave the world -

All its cares and wares.

I gave it all to gather you up from the corners.

You came, you keep coming,

And it’s worth it.

*

Doubt and fear crouch

On stealthy haunches along the way,

And they say it’s in vain -

The way you strain,

The way you pull against the grain and the warp of this life, this death.

*

But you do.

*

And I wait but also,

I am with you. I am for you. I am in you.

And together in one yoke,

Together in one soul,

We pull a lighter load.
