summertime slow





and I will be ready
when you come for me

to go down

by the sea

breathing deep
of the slow

and 
hugging the warm

breezes stiff of salty air
horizon deep
blue kissing blue

as the orange ball unfurls
from it's place on high

going down 

so slowly

the magnificent 

beckoning twilight

swirling colors
across the expanse

stars appearing
in deepening blue

easing the hurry             

in summertime slow

just can't wait

 


 
my girl and I
caught a flight
and chased
the merry blue
into the clouds
and out again

laughing together

and landing

discovering
all things new
swirling
in our head

because

always

always

catching a flight

and

time away

changing us
into better
for having

autocorrected

away from ourselves
our mundane

into

the depth of others
colliding with our worlds

bringing

perspective
inspiration
relationship

and just can't wait
to catch another

into the merry blue

and out again

Everyday ordinary

 


Chasing after
in the everyday ordinary

beauty

where
Glory revealing itself.

And me snapping

and being

amazed
happy
content

in the midst of broken.

Because
the things of this world
can break
our hearts.

But God always

in the work
of
transforming
redeeming

and making beautiful

what is.


 







 
 


 
 
 

Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer . . .
