For one reason or another, my ear has been drawn to rap, hip-hop, poetry, and other music that seems guided by a primal rhythm. During my college years, poetry played a huge role in my self expression. I’ve got a notebook filled with poems that I sketched in response to a variety of emotions. Anyways, I’d like to give myself back to that art again. I think – since Friday is a slow day for blog reading, thus making it “safer” to be myself – I’ll start posting some new and old poems on Fridays.
Here is the first. I penned this in April 2005.
God in the Wind.
God in the waves
bigger than me
unchanging; relentless
moving, swaying, growing, swelling
unchanging
sometimes calm, sometimes restless
unchanging; relentless
just, gracious, jealous, loving
moving, yet a pillar
clear, yet mysterious
unchanging; relentless
Man, God, Spirit
Lion & Lamb
Beginning & End
Unchanging; Relentless
