Her Leap

Letting go of the branch
her wings hardened after unfurling
shaking off the dust, the earth
the shell of her cocoon

Her step, her leap
into the breach, by choice
choosing to share, to fly
to share God’s holy message

Seeing the wings opening
high above the lectern
sharing God’s holy recipe
our hope for new life
