Dawn Poem by Elaine Oxamendi Vicet

Dawn

Clear and Crisp

Inhale….
A breath of fresh air.

Smell that sweet aroma
Of rain

Look at the earth
How it welcomes it
Some flowers how their heads
In adoration

Others lift their faces
In sweet praise.

The Glory of God
Is stupendous
His mercy knows no bounds.

How wonderful it is to be able to recognize
The Master.
How much more to Love Him-The Almighty.
All praises be unto Him!

……… The passage of time brings two words together
One in flesh, the other spirit
The two wrestle
And tousle
Life’s journey a seemingly endless struggle....

The air is tight
The moment now
A body rises and makes its way
Feet move
Knees bowed
Numb to those
That are around
Numb-yet knowing
The moment is NOW!

Scenes flash of a past
Present and only moments ago
And pray not of a future
Scenes of pleasure, lust, pain
And joy
Scenes of the flesh wrapped
In praise.

Eyes closed she now visions
Light
Bright
Brilliant
Beautiful and
Indescribable
Eyes still closed
She hears
Music, melodious
Harmonic
Smile.

Now she feels
Her body feels
Her body floats
She experiences
The magnitude
Of space
Deep, engaging
-float

Now fly
Fly amidst
Fly, fly, fly amidst
The heavenlies.

Awesome beauty
Awesome and liberating

The brothers had laid hands on her
She responded to the altar call
Weighed down with sin
She knew early that morning when she woke that something would be different today.

Many tears had fallen
As shame and pride fell freely with
Every drop
Tears that cleanse and set free
Free and stripped, unabashed laid bare
Bowed as the brothers pray.

The Glory of God is Stupendous
For he chose me
A sinner to set Free!
How wonderful it is to recognize
The Master
How much more to Love Him-The Almighty.

The prayer now over
Hands removed
I walk on clouds
As the mist clears
I see no face
I recognize no one
The people bowed beside me
I cannot feel
I am wrapped in God as he couches me
As He embraces me
Comforting and forgiving
Liberated.

Scales removed I now see
It really is as simple as A, B, C,
A cknowledge
B elieve
C ommit

God’s word
No magic
No trick
No jest nor joke
Simple yet difficult

But we are not alone

All praises be unto HIM!
