we are beings of air, of
light
free of shape, of
substance
unbound by the chains of
flesh
sloughing off the shell
of our skin
lifted from the earth
we dance in the highest
heaven
light bodies released
as butterflies from cocoons
in shimmering brilliance
the Spirit within us
our true essence,
reflecting God’s light
Love lit within us
interwoven, revealing
we rise, in union
swirling, twirling,
one body, one vine
our eternal provision
light bodies interwoven
we dance in the Love of
God.
