never forget

Pentecost - Year B

promised

a spirit of truth

implied

current disconnect

process

broken isolation

realized

return to community

and so we progress

through wind and fire

to experience 

a lack of sin

in the face of 

intentional dialogue

a resurrected revelation

“life is good”

an abundance of thanks

keep us focused

pointing connection

with a better future

still hidden

yet underway

discrimination put down

discernment enjoined

even so never forget

there’s more to bear

beyond correcting wrong

is building aright

while fearfully caught

a door is unlocked

voices are raised

ears are engaged

deeds are shown

lives are connected

even so never forget

there’s more to bear

our beloved clay

so us so now

holds many shapes

unto a new day

through an astonished past

and bewildered present

hand in hand

we sculpt next steps

into a mysterous mountain

and a deep blue sea

to listen together

to what will be
