during awakening,
and being more alive in the eternal
we grasp time together.

These times allow us with God,
to come,
go abide with knowledge;
we are passing through,
journeying
with what is given.
That is the renewing sigh of gift.

The season is changing as we
come
to the end of Pentecost,
knowing the
risen Lord.

New living members grow
among the spirit’s times,
we in quiet pray:
present growing light,
illumine us.
We are in these bodies
that are
flesh of man and woman
as before time itself;

we know the ancient,
and feel our humanity.
Before Pentecost flies to end,
raise your hands, like a prayer.

We stretch our limbs, having communed
as if the words were Biblical.

Enlarged, we know there is everlasting coming.
