Words

Pentecost +2 - Year C

when finished with words
there are yet
deeds to be done
lives to be engaged

would that words
were all there was to do
intended lingua franca
has fogged movement

at some point words
fail to get what we want
and we are left with intention
incarnate in going for help

yet a word remains
let there be
and we do
and it is enough

this being word
called relationship
offers hope
and consolation

whether a word
goes forth or not
we are always
homeward bound
