"I say to myself, I will not mention His name, I will speak in His name no more. But then, it becomes like a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones, I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it." Jeremiah 20:7-10

Woodpecker
The woodpecker
knocking so insistently
on the tree branch,
reminds me of you, Jesus.
Just like the woodpecker,
you knock insistently
at my heart,
asking to be let in
so that you may
dwell inside.
Like the soft wood
of the tree, I will
open my heart to you, Jesus,
so that you may live
within me forever.
Amen.
