Who Are You?

~ annekern
  • images-2
  • God takes us down dark paths, because God is light
  • Burning Bush,
  • Who are you?
  • When land-fills over flow
  • And our oceans die
  • We are at our own ruin
  • Where are you God?
  • Why do you not intervene when nations slaughter nations
  • And the innocent suffer
  • Suffer beyond our imagination
  • Where are you?
  • We do not listen
  • We over speak to you
  • Babbling on
  • We over flow with our own ideas
  • Babbling on and on to you, O God
  • Instead of emptying
  • And seeking to be filled by you, God
  • our wants and
  • petty needs occupy our minds
  • If we stood before the bush
  • Would we stand in awe
  • Would we fall prostrate
  • Would we explain our status attempting to justify our lives
  • Would we weep for our lacking
  • Would we weep for the slothful destruction of our humanity
  • Would we be different
  • We simply do not look for the enflamed speaking bush
  • For God is present and calling
  • In Peace and Justice and
  • Love and Hope
  • After The dark night of the soul , Light comes
  • And the burning bush does not consume
  • But Spurs us into active silence
  • Emptying of self
  • And prostrate filling
  • Of wisdom
  • Come lord Jesus, come
  • In your presence, we are forever changed
  • Re-member your people
  • Come Lord Jesus, Come
