all the poor and powerless


“hallelujah ripped through my veins
I heard the hammer drop
My blood in the rain
Sing hallelujah came like a train
when all is lost, all is left to gain”


That moment.
Peace breathes his first, emerging from fallen womb.
 Even brokenness brings life:
He uses even brokenness.
most unlikely child-mother brings forth Son of God.
That moment.
First cry pierces darkness.
Foreshadows final cry that will shatter the same.
In a tiny barn peace opens eyes once. for. all.
A bed made of straw cradles back wrapped in cloth
Tiny scratches on new skin
Scraps of cloth clean blood of life
33 years
33 years
Casket of wood and nails cradles bare sacrifice
Lesions of life rip deep
Blood of life
Cleanses me.
That moment
.the world is chaos.
babies die
mothers weep
But in that moment
Oh cave of Bethlehem
Peace is born to a world in need
And all cry
Hallelujah

Rest In Him:

Dear, sweet Maggie. Your life had meaning, you were precious and so loved.
