Deep Sighs

Year B - Pentecost or Energy to Witness

May 24, 2015

     deep sighs 

the caustic nature of society
in which we reside
is concentrating

the greater the danger
the more we barricade
the more connections decline

no — not a new story
we lock one another away
to do a fetal position rock

for whatever un-reason
life returns — for a while
reconnecting severed connections

until we again forget
dreaming together
and dream alone

a lone dream is nightmarish
no one to wake us
dry isolation

bone separated from bone
out of breath
all fall down

a wind and a fire
join in conflagration
unstoppable

all is ash
until a rain
a new-green shoot

describe it
to all about
until we see together

a mercy unexpected
one size fits all
ahh, sigh, mmmm
