Her Leap – v4

Letting go of the branch
Her wings hardened after unfurling
Shaking off the dust, the earth
The shell of her cocoon, its protection

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

Seeing the wings opening
High above the lectern
Sharing God’s holy recipe
Our hope for new life, her own
