I HAVE GIVEN YOU LIFE by Louise Jones

I HAVE GIVEN YOU LIFE
In the begining God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was empty a formless mass cloaked in darkness, and the spirit of God was hovering over the surface... 
THEN GOD SAID !!
In you i have breathed life,
I have created you in my image, i have created in you, the ability to create
GO CREATE !
What is in your heart ? DO IT
What dreams do you have ? DO THEM
BE BOLD, BE BRAVE, BE COURAGEOUS, BE CREATIVE, BECOME ALIVE
IMAGINE
It all starts in the imagination 
Think deep, what do you see ?  DREAM BIG, Be a dreamer of dreams
You will be all i created you to be
DANCE FOR ME
EXTEND YOUR WINGS,
STRETCH THEM TO THE LEFT,
THEN TO THE RIGHT,
ITS TIME TO TAKE FLIGHT,
FLY, FLY ON EAGLES WINGS
EXPAND INTO THE NEW
FOR YOU I HAVE MANY THINGS,
THERE IS A NEW PLATFORM TO DANCE IN AND UPON,
NEW CHOREOGRAPHIES, NEW DANCES, NEW DANCES, NEW PLATFORMS,
GO, GO ALL THE WAY
DONT HOLD BACK GO ALL THE WAY...

An prophetic alpine rhyme for the divine 2009

In the age-old prophetic tradition of developing a rhyming tagline for
the year we have just embarked upon I felt impressed by the Lord to
declare this proclamation into the heavenlies:

2009,
the year of divine
dining on limes
where we won't be confined to just one prophetic rhyme
cos its time to outshine the porcupine
and spark up the turbine
and smoke a few woodbines (or maybe not, not in public anyways 'cos
passive smoking is a not benign),
its the year of the grapevine, hairline, clothesline, and vulpine
waistlines
the envy of einstein
where we mime divine guidelines with high necklines
and confine canines to the moonshine.

May 2009 be an alpine experience where we streamline the outline and
get on the mainline
and consign bovine tasting snacktimes to the sideline
and shine, shine, shine.

Happy new year!

A few stray lines...

These are lines from unfinished, unpolished poems scattered across my
sketchbooks...

A fire burning,
a place of learning,
A Scriptorium where we eat the Word,
where prayer is always heard.
A stairway to the stars -
a refinery for heaven's oil
to overflow and fill these earthly jars.

Unwrapped

I wrap these words
around my thoughts,
trying to be heard
looking for a glance, a touch, 
hoping for a word -
The laughing stock passes me by
as I reach out with a sigh - 
and cry on the inside
to be understood.

King David's Pad - The House of Dad

There is a new breed 
a spiritual seed
Rising to take the land
Standing on the banks of Jordan
Faith in heart and Word in hand

Joel is there and Moses too
Kicking off their shoes
Elijah and the prophets all
even Balaam's mule

Here we are assembled
a house of praise and prayer -
In our midst a fiery pillar
Our God whose name if There!

This is David's place
a house of Grace
where prayer saints lift their hands
where Jacob seeks God's face 
and worship warriors
make their stand.

Blood stains on the lintels
the veil lies on the floor
a new and living way is opened
sin and death will reign no more
Music, colour, movement, rhyme
this house is free, released of time

...so David plays a soft note as we all begin to sing-
The Bridegroom looks with fiery eyes
and on our finger bestows a ring
Betrothed we bow
and sense His flavour
Eternity is the air we savour...

Cancellation & Returns Policy

Should you choose to cancel your subscription to 'Salvation Daily' at any time, you are free to forfeit your redemption and return to the dogs vomit or the pig's filth (2Pet 2:22) and wallow in eternity gnashing your teeth in desperate regret. Alternatively you may continue your subscription free of charge, receive one hundred fold for your labours and in the world to come eternal life, and receive the earth as your inheritance.

Heaven's Return Policy

As follows:
As the days of Noah were; in the twinkling of an eye; when least expected; with lightening from East to West; with a loud trumpet blast; attended by a train of angels and a host of saints; with Word in mouth and scarlet robe; to sit upon the throne and subdue every resistance.

In the light of this your best Policy regarding the Return is to watch and pray, that you may be ready - fill your lamp with oil and watch!

The Invisible Ones - An Ode To Underground Travel

The invisible ones sit
And stare,
Pretend, above all else
That no one else is there.
Two more stops and I'll hop off,
Back into the land of the living.
Life underground
is so peculiar...

Are we nearly there yet?

are we nearly there yet?
The cry came from the back seat
How far have we got to go?
How many miles? How many feet?

are we nearly there yet?
And can I play a game?
Maybe He’s not coming
And nothing’s really changed.

are we nearly there yet?
In the twinkling of an eye
The car halts! The balloon pops!
And lightening fills the sky.

are we nearly there yet?
Could be hours, could be days
There’s no way of telling how,
Could happen in a moment
In fact it could be…
