Awakening
to the ways you move
through the throngs
of the world:
now, becoming the poetry
of the trees
scrawling the emblazoning
parchment of morning;
now,
the quiet folded places
we are opening
from the deep pages of dreaming;
now, the light
bearing
the hand poised
and the letter pressing down;
now, in these words
between their bright wings
of meaning
and the dark unknowing
where you are dropping
Your love notes
onto the laps
of our becoming.
Cynthia, I had a huge smile by the time I got to the end :) To me, this reads as another ars poetica, though it is more than that, surely. It is beautiful. I enjoy the repetition of "now," and then the different examples of The Lord coming into our lives in his own way. The last two stanzas are fantastic: I love "where you are dropping Your love notes onto the laps of our becoming." "the laps of our becoming" is fascinating. You are so adept at the use of metaphor, I don't even realize I'm reading figurative language unless I look for it, specifically. Bravo! What a gift... Can't wait to read more :)
