As the thirsty ground
lies open to the rain,
So I stand, unclosed,
Vulnerable and willing
Offering my heart.
As I stretch my
too-tight body
Against the cramps of
life
So I relax into love
And the knotted places
smooth.
As I sing to myself in
the daily tasks of life
So may we sing together
Not harmony,
But counterpoint.
As my breath catches
At the world’s sharp
beauty,
So I see your glory,
Amazed into gratitude.
As I learn to pray,
Halting between dust
and wonder,
So I hold you fast
In the breathing of my
soul.
