Holy Move
Oh Father, lift me up. My spirit's low,
And lead me to your pasture soft and warm,
Away from treacherous shoals and labyrinth's woe,
And darkness, smothering will to static forms.
Oh Father, spur my spirit toward the fields
Of light and rest and peace, sweet action's womb.
Produce momentum, in energy do seal
My essence. Repel the vacuum, inaction's tomb.
Oh Father, bind my conscience to your Love,
And fire my will to melt with Yours, then seat,
Me in Your wisdom's throne. And Holy Dove,
Enfold me in Your wings; the void defeat.
Cruel resignation, statis and delay,
Are vanquished by Jehovah's Will and Way.
And lead me to your pasture soft and warm,

The Fields Are Frozen Now
The fields are frozen now.
The seed cannot be sown.
I walk for miles along this barren, snowy plain to see no life:
No squirrels digging up nuts
No groundhogs popping up from their burrows
No wolves or wildcats slyly hunting game
No black birds flinging themselves against a blasted sky.
All is white.
All is silent.
All is profound.
Does the ground wait for spring?
Wait for the softening sun's rays to blazeon comfort and care through the cold hardness?
I think not!
The ground is because it is, not because it thinks or hopes its being into is.
Like me now.
I am and cannot think my being into is or hope myself into becoming.
It happens.
We cannot wait for Spring, the ground and I.
Spring must wait for us, to recover ourselves.
We cannot count lonely days toward resurrection,
Just labor on to fields of cold.
The seed cannot be sown.
