Darkly Sparkling

Darkly Sparkling

(“Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16)

The world is darkly sparkling,
mystery and delight.
Your soul is dancing starkly,
filled with holy light.
The day breaks like crinoline,
sometimes like silk.
The day rests upon the hillside,
sometimes milky and unseen.
The world is faintly breathing,
a baby at rest.
Your soul is pleasing saintly,
royally dressed.
The day grows like reunion,
sometimes like solace.
The day rests upon the ancients,
sometimes afire and unchanged.

The Spirit finds
every breath another reason
to unveil the connection of all things.
Every morning aglow,
every evening bestowing rest
like magic strands woven from
soul to soul,
friend to friend,
this world and the next,
the context full of original blessing.

The world is riverly streaming.
