new creations / come along

Easter 5 – Year A

new creations
come along regularly

once we thought
statically
in the beginning
was everything made

with this settled
identify your place
settle in
sit and settle

even so along the way
hearts are troubled
uncertainly bubbles
toils and troubles

disappointed expectations
entitlement gone awry
focus is lost
belief is shaken

until a new word
and a new creation
is promised
and prepared

with this reorientation
we can get back to work
forgetting beliefs left behind
we do get back to work

living works that work
the work of belief
beyond belief
compassion anyway
