Pentecost Poetry – she-walks-with-many-names

June 12, 2011

 

she walks with many names
through wind and flame
breathing passion
in water and light
graceful in the frolic of glory

mothering
she comforts diverse hearts
awakens and dwells
among the deeper wells
within
rests and soars
along the driving current
wherein
she speaks with many tongues
to divine and portend
a whisper of hope
with renown and acclaim
the conviction of love again and again

O, her mystifying ways
O, her succulent allure

the barest scent
you can discover
as the gentle breeze
caresses your face
as the gale force
batters your body
breathing new life
with the quickening
of living transformation
where the living liquid
flows forth
one Spirit
one Body
one Lord
