Listen to the power radiating from the mouth of God!
They speak and we know their voice.
They are a tsunami, a gasp, a blanket,
a breeze, a whirligig, a rainbow,
unexpected wildflowers on a hill and rays splitting clouds.
Rejoice in the life, the growth, the passion,
the sacrifice, the healing, the love.
Open wide the heavenly gates and the earthly doors
to let the vast glory of incarnation
envelop creation in light and call the wounded home.
This was written as part of National Poetry Writing Month 2021, sparked by the April 18 sermon given by Scott Austin at Artisan Church.
