stepping out (& in)..

 

---

So I invite you to participate

within my world, surrounding, & inside

my virtual reality relate-

-ing not as just my friend whom I’d confide

in; but also Creator of the lot.

For that story about this world and you

admits the worst, bring's out the best we’ve got,

and makes most sense of process, life, and truth.

And now I want to de-program myself

from living as my godless nature wants -

and I see your great grace in giving health

& insight, choice in how my growing’s gone

so, you let me participate within

your own creative project, this whole world,

and this one self within it where you hurled

me, what an honour. What about my “sin”?

(My “falling short”, my less than ideal ways,

my immaturity, self-centred-ness,

my lack of want to integrate, display

some more of your commitment just to bless.)

I know it's here within me, lurking still,

and trying by its weedling to control.

The leader that you picked has showed how will

I ever step out, then take up what role

you have for me within your new cre-a-

-tion. And it's stroke of genius does the job

of pointing out a new and living way:

take up - my cross, my king’s desires  (don’t rob).
