"Why did God make me a little girl?"
She asked as they crossed the bridge,
"I should have been a dolphin, you know, "
Her six year old pondering caught us
And twirled us around in our minds.
"I could swim and jump up high,
And never get sick,

Camouflage

Hiding is sometimes
The only way to survive,
Just to live in the world.
She keeps a migraine ready
Ready as a fawns' spots
To conceal herself
Not wanting anyone to see
Where she really is.
He keeps to himself behind CNN,
The noise of the news...

In the moments of first discovery
When everything is new
When all the world is in renewal
And hope covers life like dew
YOU appeared in lightness
YOU walked up with love
Presenting the triumph of heaven
Clothed in mercy from above

"He descended into Hell..."
Our Savior, Christ
Left Heaven and earth
To descend into
The fiery pit.
For what?
No. For who.Us.
There, with outstretched
Arms, Once again
He beckons,
Come, from our hurt,
Follow Him, from our
Torment, shame, and fear...

An old disquiet threatens to return
Taunting unsettling
Like a stick stirring the pool
So unfold the wrap
Open the blanket
Spread the shawl wide
Draw the quiet
Pull in the warmth
Snuggle in joy inside

Quietly You lay there
In the darkness of the tomb,
Descending into death,
Facing our fears,
Settling the debt,
Paying the price in full,
Ascending again,
Emerging into light,
Claiming the victory.
There in the night
Of our souls

dark the day
they took your life
and nailed it to the tree
dark the day
that saw the end
of what we wanted to believe
not for our will
You came to earth
but in pity
and in love
dark the day
You looked above
"It is finished"

(because of this beautiful mystery, a gift of faith)
before the cross
before the nails
before the trial
YOU knew
That we would need the light
The truth
the way
Before the fishermen
before the baptist
before nazareth
YOU knew
what we could not

in the particulars of the quietude
that woke me
i stilled my noisy mind
to feel this blissful empty
thrilling
and spilling
around
pooling
at my feet
now
suspended airborne lightness
I Am
