Hungry healing
Lingers at altars
Holy
Come forward
It’s not as scary
as it feels like at first
Prayers
Like incense
Immerse me
Raise my hands
With praise
Warm loving
Hands prop
Me up
From falling
To my grave
I’m made well
The rest
Of the world
I will tell
Urgency in
His loving
Affection
In their eyes
Not hateful
Malice
And signs
Of condemnation
But hope
Affirmation
Gracefully
Placed in
The hands
Of a loving God
Cherished
By the Father
Filled with
Love from
The cloud
Of witnesses
And angel
Kisses
And celebratory
Welcoming
Home
To a home
I just now
Discovered
For the first
Time

Forced Compliance Not Necessary
Some people knew this would happen. The chips in our heads, I mean. Everyone laughed. Isn't that funny? The crazy part: even the conspiracy nuts had a mobile phone. Everyone walked around with the "chip" glued to their hand, eyes glued to chip.
