A poem on my lips
A lyric in the air
A monumental This
A spirit to be shared
A whisper of the heart
A chance to clear the mind
A readiness to start
A voice too strong to hide
A breath soft to the touch
A line lit through the spine
A rest so deep in love
Aligned to some old time
Teach me to be
in the world as it is,
as my friend once said,
that I often forget:
One way to know
that God is present,
is to see the highs and lows
in each moment, and
still be here
to tell it.
