Child of God
When you feel like
You
Are
Flying part/blown apart by (fill in the blank)
Ground yourself in the earth dear heart
Ground yourself in the earth
Lay upon our common rock
Gaze upon our common sky
Breathe in His life/breath
Deeply
Purely
Keenly
Let Him re-form you once again dear heart
Let Him re-form you once again
Feel His life restore/recreate you
Feel His power bare
His wild divine space/place of wonder
He can
He does
He will
Slung low Shining bright November moon Good night
Diamonds Diamonds A thousand tiny diamonds A thousand tiny diamonds Greet the dawn
Courageous amid the cacophonous chorus Of geese getting ready to flee The little muskrat swims bravely on Intent on its purpose And free (me too i smile me too) Thanks for sharing your strength With me Thanks for sharing With me
Let me look in wonder At You At the things you do Let me stand amazed Let me step lightly into Your mystery Your grace
One wee bird A nod from You I see you I love you I’m here
i rise small reluctant sorrowful discouraged downhearted and out the window spy a hummingbird thank you poppa you knew just the thing sent at just the right time to strengthen me i hope you found some sweetness there my little one my little one amongst the flowers fading thank you for sharing your sweetness with me now fly fly away
Good morning you Your sweet tiny tweet Pulled me from my office To the front room window To find you Common little tree swallow Uncommon and precious to me I see you I do
Oh Full Moon (Man in the Moon) I used to believe You were watching Me Looking down with love (or at least benevolence and compassion) Looking down On my simple little life Seeing me (And smiling) I used to believe (Who am I kidding) Still do It’s true Shine on Shine on Me
Geese cry Blackbirds sing Children scream unfettered free Crows caw Magpies chat Wind whips dry winter grass Frogs croak I laugh Perfect Spring Perfect Dance
