yesterday
very early in the morning
before the things of the day really began
a laser penetrated and burned away
a growth on my cheek
although hardly visible on the surface
it was said to be deep
and dangerous
like an iceberg
the part not seen
hidden beneath the surface
was where the danger lay
and so for a few days
I am walking with a visible wound
looking just slightly beaten up
while all around me
are those whose body may flourish
but at the same time
their soul withers
those who do not fit
where they are going
because they are still dressed
for where they came from
those still dwelling on the harms done them by man
thus amputating from their mind
the power of dwelling upon God
and I think of the laser of the Holy Spirit
how we need this white fire to roar through our lives
burning out what is superficial
frivolous
unimportant
leaving a core of love
we can still fly injured
given a little love
