Me and Mine
Privacy fence
no sidewalks
attached garage
personal entertainment center
frenetic schedule
half acre plot
individualized
living.
Lie of autonomy
deceit of self-sufficiency
delusion of self-righteousness.
Buy your way out of
need.
Endless amusement
pushes reality out of the way.
Never known
never knowing
never stepping beyond what is
comfortable
pleasurable
enjoyable
predictable
safe.
Door closed silence,
shrunken community
of me and mine.
Thinking I can do
what I was never designed
to do,
live
all by myself.
Legacy (in honor of my friend who doesn't even realize what a beautiful legacy she is leaving)
It's impossible not to
somehow
someway.
I will leave a
trail
behind me.
I will leave
footprints
for others to follow.
Footprints of
relationships
values
character
worldview
worship.
Footprints
of some kind of
glory.
May my trail point
others
to the glory
that can only be found in
You.
