Meditations

I have been holding out on posting until I finished composing something that utilizes what I have been learning in my poetry class this semester. Since this has been slow to materialize, I have in the mean time, some scattered lines on a similar theme that I arranged into a format: problem, turn, and resolution.


In this life you will have trials.
My yoke is easy, my burden is light.
Sell what you have and give to the poor.
My yoke is easy, my burden is light.
Take up your cross and follow me.
I will lead you and you shall not want
when you fall into various trials.

The better potter fills the bumpy bowl
but
The stronger potter breaks the bowl
and spins another new.

Pain is stronger than blessing
but
The Blesséd is stronger than pain

So strengthen my pain
to bless me with weakness
that strengthens the blessed.

Take me and fill me
or
Break me and spill me

My cup runs over.
