December 7-9, 2001

Collisions and confusion start the day
Followed by stress and sharp words.
Rescheduled calendars are not enough
to bring about reconciled lives
or repentant hearts
of renewed minds
but you have to start somewhere
or at least that is the lie I bought into.

Determinism drives me toward the goal
to overcome the drama of the day
attempting to manipulate space and time
through vehicular salvation
as if I possessed god-like powers
which weren’t corrupt
by the very tinge of self
that drives me to such folly in faith.

Contorted control ends the day
but I am sickened by my social motives
reanimated info is not conversation
between either God or man,
rather a waste of grace
and a loss of love given
to those who needed wine from water
but can’t receive it from a native son
even if he obeyed by offering it.

Still condemned confusion will not mark this day
regardless of wounds or weaknesses
for hope is not held in the works of the flesh
but in he who overcame flesh
with truth in spirit
to live in our lives
for through this great mystery, will he not bring
all things to the working of his holy will.

Heb 11:1 KJV
