the breathing of the Spirit

the musings of eternity
the whisper of the divine
the breathing of the Spirit
from our lips, our pens
hearing the urging
the urgent message
sharing, a vessel,
a conduit only
not holding the message
smooth sided, glazed
to be filled to be emptied
to be poured out in love

when I shared with Larry some of the poems the retreat inspired, he said, in part, “May you continue to befriend the Silence and listen to God.”
