Sabbatical 2018
Prayers & Poems
____
Sabbath and rest
amplifies identity
but it also
amplifies insecurities
voices I've learned to ignore
successfully avoiding
those toothless committees
but they seem much louder here
in solitude those conversations
with people dealing with sins
that have passed down to the second,
third generations
in various stations
of my ministry and my mutations
every office had them
humble confessors
to vomiting men and women
every tier, every stage
of this journey
from my twenties
onto my thirties
those practicing passive violence
the fatherless,
going through their unscripted,
turbulence
I've heard them all
I hear them here
I am tired Lord
but
I hear you saying,
Be still,
and
do not fear
