Breathe
I hear the Holy Spirit whisper
as I try to figure out
what it is I am feeling
Anxiety?
Excitment?
Grief?
Fear?
I am trying to catalogue
Natural Disasters
Wars
Politicians
Name-Calling
Which let’s be honest God,
the last two are the same thing
(usually)
Now this violence
Breathe, I hear God
And I think about
how my family,
where allergies and asthma runs prevalent
says joking
but not
that breathing is highly
Underrated
Breathe, says Jesus
laying down a pillow
Inviting me in
to take sanctuary
to rest
But I don’t have an answer
a solution
I haven’t even figure out
how to tell the story
of what is going on
In the universe
and how to relate to it
all
God nods
And I nod
and sigh
and my eyes begin to droop
And I realize
that God knows all of these things are important
Breathe in: God will see to the humans
Breathe out: It’s ok not to have the answers
Amen
