Wedding Poem

The uniting of hearts
Surrounded by friends and family
Is a magical, beautiful thing

Affirming love
Affirming respect
Affirming unity
Affirming salvation

This is what God wants with
Each individual

A time will come when
Every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
Jesus is Lord and lover

Then there will be a wedding celebration
As big as the universe
With streets decked out in gold
And the gates of the city pearly white
With a feast more incredible
Than you can imagine
With music and dancing
So magical and powerful
That is breaks bonds and sets captives free
With guests that have just met
Yet know each other in the deepest way
The nations gathered, but language is no barrier

Love
Respect
Unity
Salvation
Till death do us part

Wait...what is death again?

Western Moon

The moon is so huge
The sky is the color of the
Blue between dusk and dark
Wisps of cloud are lit up grey
By the light of the moon
Shining so big
Pearly white on all of us.
We don't see it
Wandering aimlessly
From lamp to lamp
Seeking the artificial light
We have learned to live by
Firelight replaced by florescent
Fake and sickly
Compared to the forgotten moon


This is the western world
We have created truth to live by
"do what feels good"
"survival of the fittest"
"all truth is relative"
False lights that guide our way
To hopelessness, emptiness,
Constant dissatisfaction,
To a world where our lives are propped up by an economy that will always waver
A world where trees have to be saved and water comes in plastic bottles
A world where your appearance counts more than your substance
A world where we spend $5 on coffee forgetting $5 could feed an entire village
A world where the poor and distressed are given band-aids and not a healer


We wander aimlessly from fad to fad, color to color
"black is beautiful" "go green"
What we need is true light
All of the colors together united
All of the peoples together unified
All truth together united
We need light
We need the author of light
