Breathe in: God you are with Me
Breathe out: Be with me God
It is a serious thing
Oliver
Comma
Mary says
To be alive
On this fresh morning
Is a serious thing
Because we know the world
is still broken
But listen a bird is singing
the sun breaks through the cloud
And the children are asking
Impertinent
and true questions
that break through the mire
Startling a laugh
because evil is ridiculous
and life is breathlessnessly
wonderful
We are seriously alive
taking in the pneuma
That refills our souls
As I remind myself that
asking for help
is a hope-filled
Community affirming act
And that repair
Respair
Resurrection
is what I believe after all
Most days
