foggy view
longing heart
open your eyes
home is near
Nancy Delgado Dec 2015
spiraling downward, with a knowledge of self alone
my Beloved captured me from the self made grave
my heart longed for an escape and the mystery of what came with death intrigued my curiosity
You knew this, You made me
offering thee Perfect escape by the only Risen One-
You took my hopes and failures,
welcoming me daily to the escape only The Lamb can provide-
into the warmth of the Son and away with the mystery of the night stars i go, holding hands with Life- finally breathing freely, dying to myself daily.

we are like the mighty wind that stands before us tonight so embrace it while you can, hug the lightning, make the rain your friend
and you'll see that the sun will shine brighter than ever before.

held in one hand as the other hand controls unseen galaxies
the tallest trees are prone to longing for they know the sky is Home.

we seek to observe yet long to be sought
tell me how does this and the grand mystery interlock?
tell me of that one great story of how the author is in constant pursue of his novel characters
tell me of that Artist that loves to create and make with the whole intention of knowing His painting fully.
the story of the Giver who majestically pursues without ending..
Nancy Delgado Jun 2015
heavens ardent flame touches my lips
with your holy truth you send me out at once
this is unlike any other remedy
this is life itself
turning you from the fatal road
welcoming you from death into reality
proclaimed by faithful, weakened creatures of
Him who is perfect alone, Jesus.
Nancy Delgado Oct 2015
on the road for various hours
i've lost count
You remain

my midnight star
my sunlight

constant in my absence
You remain

i cling to these maps
when my Beloved's hands are extended towards me
move every mountain away,
Your light is all my soul craves.
illuminate this path
oh i ask for patience to see
in Your unstained time-
although limited to me-
You've already planned it all.
help me see this is all that matters...
to be in Your hands.
Nancy Delgado Feb 2015
Unknown precepts
Untamed lines
You draw out for every eye
My spirit hides in dwelling lies
Scared to see this heart of mine
Tangled in your mystery
I have come to see
That it is he who has shaped me
To heavily seek my disbelief
In hopes and prayer that it may diminish and
From it
A great melody may come to be
You alone see me and that alone troubles me
Yet in the in betweens it is you I wish to see for eternity
Nancy Delgado Mar 2015
Wondrous nature 

Yet so damaged and broken

Still, You choose to re-construct the broken concepts of grace unknown

I reach out into the sky, beholding the stars that shine so eloquently
So effortlessly, oh how will it be on the day I meet eternity?
Oh, have you got eyes to see?
See thee interesting Story unfold across ancient galaxies, the root of all our being
Truly we are eager for a New song, unaware that the Melody in the air is our revival and that every spark of inspiration comes from the same One who collects our tears in a bottle.
Won’t you look up? Stretch your arms up and see, we are not so distant from our stars.
They are even now but a mere foreshadow of what awaits those who behold and know they are in Eternity’s hands and were never really their own therefore bestowed thee art that nature's Maker so freely gave for it reminded them of the gift they undeservingly held within.
Look up, Eternity is near.

waiting is my morning cup of coffee and ink is splattered on my bedsheets yet,
there aren't many enough words to explain waiting

a feeling of wanting to tear your own skin to a meditation of glancing towards the stars above.
the in-betweens are mere sites of canvases that, for the most part,
have been created by man's foolishness dressed as a genius luxury yet i try not to give them a second thought for their fancies flee and my contentment tells of an Eternal.

push me in if You have too- may i fall into the river of unending mercy at once-
but may it be You who brings me, may it always be You who sickens me with love and yet, refreshes me with warmth.

walking amidst unknown tongues
seeking familiar souls
until you find home in the garden
not guidance towards a future
for it takes the process of walking back to meet your sunshine
birds singing the mystery of your heart
do not disregard it
listen
it'll be more than alright
Nancy Delgado Oct 2015
give me the faith that pleads even when it is denied of any peace and rest,
like the women who supplicates but for the very crumbs left for the dogs-
or the one who knew healing would come with a mere touch of Your garment
keep me forever at Your holy feet- smiling at the very miseries that i live through while on my way,
yet i ask for help to even extend my arm towards my King and for surety that herein is life itself, at last, a breath of fresh air.
Nancy Delgado Dec 2015
though this basket of abundance has been handed over to me
i flee and look for other containers
yes, perhaps a cup could fill my longing- a mere cup of something that promises only for the journey that takes me back
for they all do this, every single one of them.
oh- for how long must i keep doing this, if my treasure is mine already?
where has He gone now? His flowers do not have the joyful scent to them anymore and His fruits are no longer seen anywhere... but the Son still shines- there's still the moon over me, accompanied with the many stars... His children- precious promises.

I want to witness and be fully present when Your thunder arrives, the thought of it excites my soul.

I want to break out the window of intellect and become infinitely lost in You. 

Your beauty surrounds me and wraps me up, taking me to a place of deep adoration and complete silence.

Just by writing this it shows my attempt to try and obtain You with language but the least I can say is thank You.

My heart yells out a beautiful symphony out to You Father, that only You understand and noone else knows its structure like You do for You constructed it.

You brought music into it therefore my brain functions in such a way that I find myself often wanting so desperately to write how grateful I am for every second of life You give me but, it is not enough.

I stand lost in my mind most of the time, swimming in my thoughts of praise, in awe of all You do.

The mystery I love is You.
I want to sink in it.
Wander and find.
More blessings are to come and I am standing with open arms, heart and mind to try to conceive them. And grow deeper in love with You.

blanketed by Your grace
it is Your Face I behold
as the wind in me removes these red wool gloves
enabling me to finally and truly reach into the unseen,  
an illuminating eternal community,
where all lies scatter as I behold and know
that I'm Home.
Nancy Delgado Aug 2015
A longing soul thinking to be ready to see face to face yet is being remade since day one that it was branded
my fabric is being reconstructed by Excellent's hands that calm the waves and send lightning all at once this soul of mine struggles to see these sunsets in itself but regardless it is not my sentiments that have eternal meaning but Eloi's promises. Given to receive to merely give in abundance for I did nothing to gain the brimful Reality. Merciful Son is my morning song and evening medicine. For now, a bruised reed and smoking flax - holding on tightly to bleeding Love.

my mind has been a tempest waiting to be unraveled lately
take out all the leaves if you have too, full of melancholy
my justification is mere overwhelming fear of staying with this crippled misconception of grace unmoving yet, here i am, a walking contradiction- if anything, yet you call me your sister, your bride
please pull out all the proud and shining lies
make me more like the One once upon that tree that brought me to life
all i have is you, Christ, triune joy.
i breathe because of you.
Nancy Delgado Jun 2015
wrap me in sheets of grace
that i may breathe in the Son's love and exhale joy freely-given.

let my days consist of constant self-forgetfulness and full consciousness of Thee,  Eternal God.

may i learn to receive grace and cling to it for every second i am prone to leave it for a pursuit of making myself known yet- it is the very thing keeping me alive.

without grace, i am not.
Nancy Delgado Jun 2014
distant flame on the road
an imitation of home
elegantly seeking to be known
droplets of rain pour out into the depths of my soul
to awaken the eternal realization
that had never meant more in words
finally
"I love you"
an honest confession of admiration

— The End —
