Take Captive | Poem

Take captive the rain

Listen deep to the sound

Take captive the moments

That won’t always be around

Make marks on paper

Take mental photography

Of the where’s, what’s and when’s 

In these earthy days

Take courage oh you people

Seek goodness in the day

Choose celebrating over scarring 

Each human you interact with today

Oh kindness would you waterfall

Drench these holy hours

Teaching the young and aged 

Of the goodness in the journey

Take captive today

Turn down the noises

Make space for creations melody

It’s bursting with praise

Put design to form

Use those hands to create

Look deep and high, close and far

For what needs to communicate

Hope climb that hill

Keep going as you slip

The destination peeks high of glory

So push limits while breaking skin

Take captive these things and more

For each scene seems an endless shore

Take captive creation

For Yahweh is heavens renown
