The Signmaker

                                      The Signmaker

Emptiness…is where the real is,

Don’t run from it,

Don’t solid-fill it;

Steer by it, as by the North Star

Make it your center,

Your skeleton,Your bone, your rock;

Punch through the empty center,

And make it your axis.

Very early in the morning

Long before daylight,

He left the house to a lonely place

An empty place…where He prayed.

“Make us a sign” the skeptics said,

Make us a sign that in forms us

One that reveals who you are

If you claim to be God.

Make us a sign of your power.

Do us a demonstration;

Walk on water … again,

Save us from pain and death.

And for Christ’s sake

Don’t let us be alone, and lonely;

Our strength comes from without

So don’t abandon us to ourselves.

“The Kingdom is WITHIN”, he said;

You are called to SIGNify this,

For God is Love,

Love without, is Love within.
