Time To Be

Time To Be

Psalm 119.73-74

 

Creator calls the day into being.

Spirit rouses all into the day.

Word Become Flesh gives a new way of seeing.

Almighty One presides over creation’s way.

 

What marks your virgin point of life?

Does eye, ear, skin, bladder call out in the dark?

Have you a still place ‘mongst churning strife?

Where resides faith’s everlasting mark?

 

Each cycle seems to have a beginning spot.

Resting bed usually a comfort for the night;

Every body an ecosystem, alive, including deaths rot.

Creator provides sustenance, life’s very might.

 

Our task relates to the being Creator has made.

Each created one a joyous note in life’s symphony.

Attending the Conductor, a music score played,

Sinful separateness always results in cacophony.

 

My beloved, look about, find what Spirit does enchant.

Fearlessly follow into times ticks granted ahead.

Know your blossoming self, a gift God does grant.

Historians, commentators parse out your history read.

 

Being brings truth incarnational, none can deny.

Cloth your body, mind, spirit, soul in true garments;

Take no fake fabrics or uncomely raiment’s, causing sin’s sigh.

Rather equip with Spirit’s help, peace, justice’s armaments.

 

Tread softly this day’s path.

Gently accept the self you are.

Steer clear of judgment, wrath.

 All need Creator keeps close not afar.

 

Awake dear soul, brilliantly announce this day your being.

Take no fear about your nest’s strength or image.

Trill out the song of life, your plumage a joy to the seeing.

Word Become Flesh, our redeemer lives, age to age.
