“HEADS or Tails”

| Laura Lee Bonde

having one mind
the mind of Christ
mysteries revealed
never hidden

knowing Him
to such a degree
of living WITH Him
eternally

never wanting
never needing
darkness
to survive

having been

I can tell you
Light prevails

no more waking
unknowing
no more passing out
to sleep

no more selling
what was His
no more lying
to get it right

flip the coin
until it lands on Him
and choose to live
on the other side

or pretend to
how do we come to love each other
or pretend to

the time we invest
matters
and when there is no time
is one forgotten

not as a stripper
but when I first started dancing
for Him
has it changed?
does it matter?
as I grow closer
if that’s even possible
will the movements change
or is my dance
my dance
in the arms of Him
Who twirls me in His Love
