church is not a go to place
but a space
where you are off stage
being
the beauty of creation
celebrating
home

church is not a go to place
but a space
where you are off stage
being
the beauty of creation
celebrating
home

In the cycle of death
beyond time and space
a light
boldly sings
an essence of forever being
and my soul remembers why I am.

Can you read without listening to the words?
Can you see without hearing thoughts?
Ignorance protects.
Love opens.
Time to bow to the listening side of our hearts.
Hearing something ahead
songs of those with voices only
nothing to touch though reaching deep
Fearing the fall
knowing nothing but the view
of love from inside out
in this place.





Each wakening comes with that moment we rise

To know the beat of waves in rhythm
stripping, striking stone to sand
gasping breath and fear together
pushed and pulled in chords of love.
startled wakened in a scream
threatened breath
strangled dream
yet i lay me down again
a soul to keep
from terror ends
finding morning’s choir of love
hymns of peace
with eyes of God.

with a call and response litany among the usual flight of birds

except geese in formation against the wind directly pointed
while the Lutheran’s sanctioned bell begs their ordered migration.
Is is Sunday.
It is the day the trees dance in 1st position to know the Sabbath’s touch
