Apocryphal

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  March 14, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS: Apocryphal

Beloved,

Speak to me again

Though Your voice is like glass

For my ears long to know You

Betrayed by limitations

Of this finite mind

That spreads banquet promises

Before a starving soul

I ache for colour

Or the taste of You

But You are the Air

And Light

And Thought

Formless and Vital

Apocryphal

Blind eyes witness 

To the Invisible Christ

Silent and slain

Awaiting Redemption

Yet You refuse to tell them

As I writhe in the agony

Of what is not Known

And this lust to speak the Unspeakable

Oh King of Kings

Cut out my tongue

Let the world stand mute before You

For all worthy things are already spoken

Every sacred word has been said

Scripture exhaled by Your Holy Breath

Your mouth filled with Salvation

I long to Kiss You

To know Your Flavour

To lose myself in Your Love and Rage

For I belong to You

Exquisite Master

Have Your Way with me

I am done.

Amen.

Thank You, Michael.  It's been an incredible journey.  I Love You

You Are

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  March 7, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS: You Are

Beloved,

You are my Devotion

My lifetime Love

The Endlessness

The Meant-to-be

And the relentless Never-was

You are my Comfort

My Longing

The Source of all my fear

My Ecstasy

My Agony

The Way the wind plays with my hair 

You are the Sleeping Seed

The Way that bark twists on ancient trees

The pounding Heart 

The dying Breath

The Space betwixt and between

You are the riotous Colours

The Fragrance 

And the Taste

The Appetite

The Hindsight

And the Saving Grace

You are the Circumstance

The Unknowing 

And the Known

The fleeting Glance

The Second Chance

And the path that leads me Home

Thank You.  I Adore You.

Amen.

Calamity

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Feb 29, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS: Calamity

I am not a whisper

I am the name of your God

Called aloud 
At the Armageddon

Thunder rolling over

And through your bones

Like a nuclear wave

Annihilating  you

Sweeping across your surface

Leaving it barren 

Lifeless

And still

I am not a broken heart

I am the tears wept 

At the grave of your lover

the Anguished One

That seeks relief

Burrowing holes in your soul

And your mind

The One who's conscience

Knows nothing of tragedy

But thirsts for a Returning

A surrendering 

That can only come 

From the agony

Of what is lost

I am not the answer

I am the unasked Question

That haunts you in the night

And consumes your thoughts 

That steals from you 

And leaves you lonely

I am the Threat

And the Monster

Your greatest fear

Your greatest loss

Look me in the eye

Let me shake you

For I am the weight of the world

Lift Me up

Carry Me

Do you care enough to bear Me?

Hold Me in your arms

Rush upon the blade

For we are exalted here

I am the Calamity

Let Me wound you

Fall in Love with bleeding

Let the depths of you discover Me

And so then shall I set you Free. 

Amen.

The Wave

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Feb 22, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS: The Wave

Beloved,

Teach me how to Love You

For I am overwhelmed 

And afraid

Revelations of Your magnitude

Seen through the eye of a needle

I am crushed beneath You

Your Universe rolling over my hands and my mind

Paralyzed 

And so in Love

Unable to draw breath

For the air is saturated with Your majesty

My mouth sealed by Your Holiness

Called upon and longing

I am gone

Cut in two

My contents spilling out in front of me

While I take inventory for the task at hand

And know what I am not

Haunted by Your Ever- Presence

You will not look away

My image reflected in Your ocean eyes

I cannot stand this unEarthly silence

Carry me away

I am the particle 

You are the Wave

Echo off of me

For I am hollow

And long to be filled

With Your sound

Repeating Your name 

Through these endless tides

Again and again

Always

In All Ways

For all Time

Amen.

Oracle

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Feb 15, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS:  Oracle

Beloved,

This day is Yours

And everything in it

For I have come to worship here

I have heard of Your wonders

And the Sovereignty of You

Even from the mouths of Your adversaries

Look at how they gather around You

Their souls reflected upon their unsuspecting faces

Aghast by Your Glory

Shaken

As am I

Made breathless in the air around You

I long to be the earth beneath Your feet

That I may carry You and know Your cadence

To be the sun that lights Your raven hair

And warms Your rare and graceful form

You are Exquisite

And I am in Love

These profound things that bind us together

We are the Oracle

And the Prophecy

Long before You are even Known

I shall chisel Your name  at the entrance of the tomb

And wrap You in the shroud

I shall die for it

But I will not care

For my dust will settle around You

Sifting in between Your bones

Taking on Your form

Filling in all my open spaces

Until...

We are finally

One.

Amen.

Who You Are

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Feb 8, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS:  Who You Are

Beloved,

I am in Love with the world

Because I am in Love with You

I know tenderness

Because of Your fingertips

And beauty 

Because of Your grace

In Your wounds

I have studied compassion

In Your isolation

Remembered the All

Your heart has become my Mercy

Your motive, my soul

In Your Joy

I am the giver

In Your giving

I am the Joy

In Your voice I am the glorified

In Your hands, the slain

Your name is my crucifix

Your Light, my life

And all that is left of who I am

Is because of Who You are.

Amen.

Let them see, Michael… let them see.

Our Song

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Feb 1, 2016, 9am P.T.

FOCUS:  Our Song

Beloved,

You are the Universe

And the world fades away

It’s details scattered and spread

Across Your vastness

Lit up like snowflakes against the night sky

I see everything

Layer upon layer

Once Indistinguishable in number

Now catalogued and filed

I begin

Examining each fragment 

Through your microscope eyes

Like a scientist

Meticulous and precise

Sifting through a hundred-million 

Perfectly-placed particles

Until You swoop in through the window

Like a great bird

Casting my resolutions into the wind

And lifting me off the ground 

Eons of study and mathematical order

Lost to the flutter of Your glorious wings

Whirling with You

They take on Your rhythm

As You spin them into Your melody

And there am I

At their centre

Source from which they came

Threads entwined between our fingers and toes

Weaving us into Holy Composition

I, the notes

You, the Score

Our Masterpiece is written

Inscribed across the empyrean

Sealed within the archives of time

Where it shall lay silent

Waiting to be discovered

By the soul who holds the instrument

And longs to finally play

Our Song...

Amen
