Caught In...Cross Fire Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

Caught In...Cross Fire



Nursing
Offered seeds in arbor
Carrying crosses
Is a solid harbor
Heart on sides
Securely barred
But for one opening
To celestial Home
Flinging wide
To Kingdom come
In bloom
To many-headed scars

Unshakable surrender
Into His chisel...
Radiant, of beauty scars,
A vertical being,
Scarred yet unmarred
Not robbed by
All horizontal mesh
For healing power
Flows boundlessly,
Perpetually from
Immaculate Flesh...

Cultivating
Offering seeds in arbor
O Blessed Cross
Is a safe harbor
To wipe
Tears profuse of Blood
Flowing with Love's flood

Evolving orderly
Is intimately tied
With the Blood of
The Immaculate Offerer,
Defeating enemy -
The ferocious murderer
In carrying crosses
Finding firm harbor
Encountering
Fruits plentiful
In one's own
And others' arbor
Flowing with
The flood of Blood...
Going through water and fire
Wholesomely in love...
Caught in Cross Fire...
Bleeding with Him...
Bearing pain for Him...
Suffering in Him...
Caught in Fire -
The Blood of Love
The flood of Blood...
Armed, protective,
Mighty flood...

Nonetheless, I truly appreciate the kind and full of substance messages for through such neighborly support you have a part in God's imperishable riches, and also in serving and glorifying Him.

Being caught in Cross Fire should be one's only desire. Enduring the Fire of Our Cross determines our eternal salvation.. Remarkable poetry that is truly On Fire for Christ. Wishing you God's speed and many blessings. Ciao

Indeed, the greatest miracle begins to take place when we surrender to God's chisel, and that includes carrying our crosses with joy, as you so powerfully expressed in another gem of yours! Love it when you stressed that the most healing power is in His Immaculate Flesh - the Holy Eucharist! Amen! ! ! He is waiting for us in each Tabernacle - how lonely Our Lord is these days! Dr. powerful insight that evolving orderly always is tied to Christ's Blood! Brilliant! God bless.
