Today I got up with you on my mind. First thing, instant and constant. I start to pray for you but my words are stiff and don’t come easy. The words are stifled by feelings of anger to deep to shake by the morning dawn alone. So I sit and wait for direction. I sit in the dark, I anchor myself on your side of the bed, your spot well worn from your body nestled in snug. The quiet fuels my anger it ignites even more unrest in my soul. I want to move but can’t. I want a remedy, a resolution to the mystery of us. Years well worn intense and passionate. Heavy and deep engulfing us as in fire.
My heart searches for the answer and yet God is silent. Silence can bring bliss and silence can bring agony. This silence brings agony because I want action. Yet, I am still. And then, I focus my attention on her. She is at peace oblivious of my need for action. Rest is all she knows now, sleep is steady. The light rises and peaks through the blinds and rests on her face. And I see you in her. You each share the same face. She is the feminine embodiment of you. And I can’t help but smile. My heart softens as I search your face. Your eyes. Nose. Mouth.
Peace prevails and dowses the anger. The mystery of us, revealed in a female form. She is love. The love we share. She rests in the place where she began. She takes us in with each breath. Two who became one. She came from our togetherness. Love made in God. Revealed to us in perfect timing.
And somehow it makes sense. Years well worn intense and passionate. Heavy and deep engulfing us as in fire. Refining fire, I pray. I may never fully understand you nor you me. But together , He takes the very best of us, intertwines and creates new. New life created in love and for the sake of love.
So today, I pray Lord recreate Love for the sake of Love. I pray that you allow me to reflect your love for him toward him. Let him search my face today and find that I look just like you.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...
