while i wait part 4: more than a body

 

She's more than a body. 

Watch me walk, watch me stand,

I'm not at all ashamed, it's promise, not chance.

A little praise stomp makes the earth shake,

Ya girls' holy hollers of praise in battle bring the earthquake.

Body crafted reverently with grace and care,

Love and kindness in her stare.

Brown skin, blessed by the sun.

I make others give pause at a confident woman who doesn't run.

I ain't sorry,

That I'm much more than a body ody ody, baby!

● 1 Samuel 16:7 – 'Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' ● Psalm 139:14 – 'I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.'

*****

Man may look on the outside, God is more concerned with the heart, its the character of a soul that brings honor.

While i wait part 3: woman that is me

 

Woman, that is me

I'm not the norm,
Not a gentle storm,

I walk like thunder,
My presence fills the room,
no hinder.

I'm a bright light in a dark world, you see?
The grace on my lips,
The jiggle of my laughter,
The tremble of praise on my breath.

My joy shines bright when I walk,
No apologies, let them talk.

My soul doesn't whisper,
She roars louder.

Hearty appetite for the holy, and even bigger heart,
My inner being a work of art.

I make no apologies,
And you ask for none.
I fall on my knees before the king, coming undone in prayer.

War marks on my skin,
I trace them in wonder and grin.

Dark skin kissed, scorched by fire like burnt bronze,
Shine in the daylight.

A laugh, loud and free,
Unmistakably ME..

You prayed for this, the honesty, the reverence for our king, the soft heart and gentle spirit. Something you've never known you needed.

I dream of a love so pure.
Of a man's unhesitant hands, strong and sure, taking mine.

Him slowly exploring the depths of my soul, not my body.
No shame in being ourselves, he thinks I'm an odyssey.

He'd like my laugh, and the smile upon my lip,
He'd long to drink my laughter in, take a savory sip.

He can look beyond just what the eyes can see,
He'd look deep into my eyes, and yes, considering my imperfections and still see the worth in me.

Walk with me, boy, and watch this.
My life is a garden inviting you in, I am a woman holy, redeemed.

He wouldn't shrink that I wasn't made to be dimmed.
Not meant for my faith to be contained.

I was born open and free,
My confidence says loudly, woman, that is me.

● Proverbs 31:25 – 'Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.' ● Song of Solomon 4:7 – 'You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.' She More Than the Body ● 1 Samuel 16:7 – 'Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' ● Psalm 139:14 – 'I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.'

Part 1: Poem 1: the showdown, love come down 

The Showdown, Love Come Down

I walk slow,
Nothing could prepare me for this day.
awestruck wonder, neither of us knows what to say,
Just know that now, finally," I belong to you”, as we say I do.

You stand tall before me.
Your heart is ready to be,
Your soul cries, I belong to thee.
Come closer and, with open eyes, see.

It's not just a wedding of husband and wife,
Trust not strife,
But a baring of soul,
A holy union is the goal.

I placed the ring onto your finger on your hand.
Heaven leaned in,
You exhaled praise,
and prayer.

And that's when I felt it,
The shift in the room, the Holy Spirit Presence,
And all of heaven is a witness. of the marriage of man and woman.

Do I want you? You ask softly.
Yes, but only in the covenant, I whisper back gently.
So there we stood before God, no longer as two but one in soul and spirit.
We were prepared for this.

Please do remember, I'm HIS woman before I'm ever your girl,

HIS daughter, before I am to be a wife and mother in this world.

You say you understand,
You just want to be a worthy man, my man.
And that you are a prince, a son to the king, first, before my husband.

I smile in knowing and say, I understand.
This is the final showdown, love came down,
Heaven approved, with God's stamp sealed.

● Genesis 2:24 – 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and they shall become one flesh.'
● Song of Solomon 2:16 – 'My beloved is mine, and I am his.'

When love is done decently and in order, aligned to heaven, Heaven answers.
