"The road to enlightenment is long and difficult, and you should try not to forget snacks and magazines."

Grace

 

Grace

 

pool newly made from morning rain,

murky brown and burnt umber

it halts my onward march

I stop to consider the way round

 

brush and bush lay right

hectic stream lays left

both lead somewhere

playing for time to make my choice

 

I crouch before it

wondering if I dipped

fingers into its stillness

would I be rebaptized

 

into the ancient creation

layer upon layer of life

brewing, bubbling in this

sudden fen

 

God's breath still moves

across the waters

pulling from chaos

this sacred pause
