Migrations

Deepen in us our love for you today,
  so that in all things we may find our good, and the good of others.
– Lord, lead us to the truth.
                                                      Universalis Prayer

                                                   The migrations are making their 
                                                  patterns across the soul.
                                                  Bright wings, whatever they may be,
                                                  are opening their
                                                    minions 
                                                    above the murmurrations 
                                                 of the deep beneath, the urgings of life 
                                                 and the old damper of death,
                                                 where, we begin gathering satchels of light   
                                                 to carry into
                                                 our stark season;
                                                   where, we feel our way along  
                                                   the worn, caved
                                                 walls of unknowing;
                                                 where, ancient hues of herds are running still; 
                                                 where, we touch the lines of navigation 
                                                 and rest;
                                                   where, God waits
                                                   on laps of stars.

  2. Cynthia, the prayer sets this poem on the path to truth: the Love we live is a dying to self. The journey we make, the birth, to death, to rebirth, to dying, cuts a pattern across our own souls as we traverse the obstacles along the road. When we read the natural world closely enough we see what God lays out for us, even us Human Beings. All the while we think we are alone. But you remind us that "God waits on laps of stars," rests in the past light of our present day, of our future glory. Thank you for sharing this!
