Ever faster

Hey God.

Thanks for giving us hope
To make us softer

For a life
That lets us falter

For love
To go running after

For a chase
That's worth the laughter

For fights
To forgive one another

For a choice
To make you master

Of our lives
That are saved
From disaster

In knowing that
You
One day
Will come back
Ever faster.

Faded

She stares out from within
The four framed corners
Holding the grey oil paints
That show her sitting in a chair

Waiting with her hands
Under her chin 
Helping keep her head up

Then comes a brush stroke
That drops a bright
Teal and yellow lilly
On her lap
What colours!
What boldness!
Where is this flower from?

This sudden blessing
That shows the girl
That all she knew is
Faded in comparison
To the bold love
That awaits
Beyond the grey oil
On the framed canvas
Marked by mortality

She stares at the lilly
So beautiful and obvious
A stark contrast to the
Dull world around her

She looks around
Clutches the flower
Defying the strokes that
Bound her to the chair
She peels herself away

And jumps out of the canvas
Into the very world
The lilly is from

Professors

Professors can be found
Expounding on critical issues
Rejoicing in learning
Guiding many to the critical truths
In their field of expertise
In the subject that they love
That they teach
As their profession- an avenue to profess
What they love most
What they know most
What they trust most
As the truth
For others to hear.
My profession
Will always be
Jesus Christ
No matter my vocation
My vocal chords
Will forever profess
The name and praise of Jesus
