Non-Perfectionistic Blog

I have been told not to hold off blogging any longer due to perfectionistic tendencies, so here you all go. I never did like this kind of disjointed poetry - probably 'cause I'm not too good at it - but I had it laying around for quite a while, and it was on hand.

Now I'll feel like a louse for not coming up with something specifically for you guys. ;)

Kiss the sun, alight upon stars

Dance weightless steps on a weightless terrace

Bathe in the warmth, come alive in life

What we expect, what we imagine,

We anticipate, we delight in,

The Way of Christ appears to promise.

Roll up the sleeves, dive deep in the mud

Search for priceless pearls fallen into the mire

Following the Light, the Source of the shine

A path for oppression

That unclean find redemption

Numb from the cold, yet consumed by the Fire

Feel the cut, become bloody and bruised

Dodge good intentions that swarm like hail

Shameful intents like showers of steel

Kiss the grass, darkening sight

Get picked up, run back to the fight

Provide the fall with an inability to fail

Enter in doubt, murky waters swim

Barbs fall thick about one pierced by his own

Hear the echoes of a Paradise not far gone

Strive to gain; turned, but not by the try

Spin like the earth, open face to the sky

Dash the muck from your eyes, washed by rain unknown

Kiss the Son, alight upon stars

Dance weightless steps on a weightless terrace

Bathe in the warmth, come alive in Life

What we expected, what we imagined,

We anticipated, we delighted in,

The Way of Christ fulfills the promise
