Intersection

Like air breathed and

heart awakened

Leaves fallen, crumpled and torn, fading to soil

fingers of earth bursting in life.

Like tides that bring abyss secrets,

glass rolled in sand and smoothed with salt.

Like elderly kisses and

embering scrapbooks

scraped kneed memories of when

the world fit into a mantle's frame.

Like crushed perplexed abandoned

Struck down

But not destroyed

is the braid of faith

The rope

Eternal

The You and the me

Oh sweet and scary intersection!

Faith that comforts and

Faith that disrupts

Thunder and seedling

Tornado and sunset

Personal mystery

I

Find You

In the heart beating and letting go

And life feather-drifting

to a place I cannot hold onto it

while I am left bare clothed in grace
