Soul-Expanding

The Blip 

By: the iHope Poet

When the big things are little 

and the little feel big, 

when the waves of sheer longing 

make your heart feel like lead,

and you don't have a reason 

to be stuck in your head;

but you  do, and you are 

since you're lost in The Blip.                                                     

It was just a few moments 

in the grand scheme of things,

and it ended so quickly, 

so it's hard to believe 

that it happened at all, 

but you know how you feel. 

And it doesn't feel good 

to be lost in The Blip. 

You don't blink for the fear 

that you'll lose all the proof 

of the challenge you're facing, 

the pain you've lived through. 

It consumes you, it changed you,

short-lived though it was, 

and you cling with your might

to hold onto The Blip. 

In due time, you remember 

there is rest to reclaim 

through the grace of the One 

who has suffered the same. 

Then, embraced in His love, 

filled with pure, refined joy,

your whole soul is expanded 

coming out of The Blip.

Falter

By: the iHope Poet

"Awake, and Rise!"

The angels cry;

and though I try to stand,

my mortal frame gives way to sleep,

I cannot lift my head.

The time has come

and so they beckon

those who long to bless.

My heart's so willing, yet I'm weak

in matters of the flesh.

My head will bow

without its strength,

that's when I plead for grace.

Vision falters, legs collapse,

But I'll still seek His face.
