To be emptied of
imperfections
pounded and stirred,
strained fine as light
through scarlet mesh,
translucent
open
to become,
yielding
to receive,
cupped to be
intimately filled,
Spirit oozing through this
heart so delicately spun
it seems a voice will
shatter it
to dust,
from which it’s claimed,
scooped and pounded and
stirred by Him
Who hovered over the deep,
speaking order into Life
mosaic of creation,
wild imagination
each a necessary piece
of all,
yet incomplete
until He comes,
fullness of GOD
without whom
I.
Am.
Nothing.
formless and void,
unable to absorb
Living water
or light,
till He hovers,
breathing life
bleeding grace
across this barren heart,
cupped to receive
Life…
not meant for one,
but all
to draw
this thirsty, wayward world
HOME.

Absolutely beautiful, Cindee! And, oh so wonderfully true!

Do you ever tire of us telling you how beautiful are your words and photos?
We never tire of seeing them. Thank you, Cindee.
Awesome poem Cindee! I really like it!
Beautiful poem. It takes skill to make this subject come out right without sounding mushy and you definitely hit the right night. I liked the light and airy feel to it.
i love msaic of creation…maybe even just the word mosaic, it carries such symbolism for me…oh i am ready to go…smiles…
nice….love the submission and openness there in the middle you really capture the spirit in this….and glad you have joined us on this journey at dverse as well…thank you. smiles.
Beautiful! I love “Strained fine as light.” This poem is light without being at all insubstantial — probably because of all the great physical detail.
Beautiful write!
This is clear in its lucidity and depth of belief. Your joy is overwhelming in its authenticity and sincerity. Thank you for sharing itbwith us.
THE WAY you describe the Great Spirit, God thrills me::
“Who hovered over the deep,
Speaking order into Life”
And this understanding of every THING being necessary to everything else in the Universe, it is SO right on the mark!
“Mosaic of creation
Wild imagination!
Each a necessary piece of all…”
It would be a fruitful-and-fun hour in a Starbucks with you, talking about God. You have a special gift of understanding, which IS within the reach of everyone. If only that curtain would be removed…..
PEACE, Cindee Re!
Beautiful, Cindee.
Cindee–all of your work is gorgeous–it would be impossible to pick ‘the best’–but this is remarkable.
thanks for sharing again.
A joy to read and see, uplifting and beautiful.
Lovely to revisit this ! Beautiful .
Each line unfolds its own revelation and the whole is consummated in the gorgeous photographs of the dark pink azaleas. Gorgeous!
