POEM: ICE DANCERS 12/02/04
~ To those who are learning to lay down their lives and love ~

 

.... Parents and children, churches and sheep, friends with friends, husband and wife, prayer partners, bosses and managers, teams of all kinds....

Have you ever met such a pair as these?
Wrestling for answers to put them at ease.
In heaven we laugh and cry as they turn
Watching and waiting to see what they learn.

In and out through the stride of their lives,
Trying to find balance and settle their strife.
What they don’t know about this tug of war
It’s not with eachother, but with themselves a sore.

Like mirrors of reflection they are in synch
Still wrestling for answers in what they think.
To heaven above we see dancing on ice
Whirling and gliding in holy sacrifice.

What they do not see with their hearts in motion
Is My pure character in utter devotion.
With a span between them they swirl side by side.
Space and time will help as they learn to abide.

Then coming together he lifts her in the air.
She stretches to heaven with Words to declare.
They yearn in their reach and cling for their balance
As they seek Me for poise through intimate stance.

In distance or touch, their hearts are the same.
They contend for what’s right, to separate shame.
This is My uniting, My work, and My love.
Wrestle not with each other, or Me from above.

You can not run from a heart that is pure.
I’m melting you together in a pool of cure.
All over the world the ice does melt.
As you yield to Me all that you have felt.

Your answers were not in making things work,
Grappling with each other and things that lurk.
As you tangled, your spirits rose in the sky
Losing your peace and groaning with sigh.

You grounded your mind-sets to rest in My plan.
Yes you died dead, to become a free man.
But I resurrect all planting that is Mine.
That you bare fruit for My glory to shine.

Whether business or church or life inbetween
It’s life in My Spirit, in a walk that is seen.
Heaven and earth merges for My touch
Let go and let Me use you for such.

Don’t play games in exchanges or apart.
Simply accept this uniting is My start
Of a team that will function to My heartbeat
I will use your blend everywhere you meet.

No longer wrestle against lives devoted.
My Spirit reigns with My DNA coded.
Learn to relax as you live in symmetry
I will heal your feelings of lost dignity.

You are predestined and set up from Me
Rest as you walk into your destiny.
The future brings joy as you see the harvest.
Of all that you’ve covered waiting in the nest.

Don’t meddle trying to fix another’s heart
Instead trust Me that I know what I start.
My flame of love in My servant’s waiting
Will spread My fire, from character not abating.

Put confidence in Me and trust each other
While you offer prayer for one another.
Identities come from what’s real inside
From loving sacrifice that can not be denied.

Let the ebbs of life come and go with the flow
As you glide out and in to share what you know.
From the rhythm of skaters that dance on the ice
I will multiply your unity and your sacrifice.

Ps 50:5 NKJV
"Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice ."
