Close to You

Poem

Jun 12, 2023


Spread-out-like-tent Sky,
Sun-adorned, shining-smiling bride,
Galilee tints, blue, soft,
arms-open-wide, welcome-Breath,
hospitality-immaculate, spectacular,
room to move, space to hear,
water ripples washing over feet,
aqueous sounds whirling celebrate the
center of Love, afire,
orchestrating dance of deathless Life,
a resurrection, grand display I often miss
in cramped places,
among filled-up spaces,
while Glory is moved into a corner or basement,
maybe just walked around, or on, or over.

I pray to do as Jesus, walking beside
Galilee Sea, a favored place. Why?
To breathe, to be,
close to You.
