Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...
Jeremiah 1:5
You have begun your incarnation here.
You are being beautifully made
from the splendorous dust,
the silence
of your mother's womb,
the abundant allowances of love.
You are on your way
and already
we welcome you:
the earth and its fullness,
noisy with heaven,
our disheveled love.
We hold you now in our hearts' light-
haven from all dark
onslaughts through time.
For our days here are like the grassy fields,
a brief flowering
the wind passes over,
and the place we are
will know us no more
except by love,
the long song we enter into,
the gracious song
God is singing us through.
Beautiful, utterly, absolutely beautiful. I loved every gentle line, most of all - our disheveled love - that is indeed the way we love.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Caitlynne Grace! Good to read your generous comment while I attempt to get back into writing and blogging once again. It is so good to hear from my friends again after so long. I continue to miss Nancy Shuman and her beautiful words and shimmering spirit. May she be in joy now and forever. God bless....
DeleteI actually could understand some of the poem and also loved the "our disheveled love" description. Enjoyed the read.
