like taffeta of frost – v4

Like taffeta of frost
fabric of light
brocade of sheer fibers
cool mist descending;
presence falling, bright
weightless cloak
the Spirit’s calling to You.

For the Holy Spirit
Your love, Your essence
to bodily come down
to fall down upon us
offering us blessing;
Oh Spirit, descending,
fall down on me.

Fill this simple space, my heart
this place made sacred
set apart from the world;
holy fire fall quickly (urgently)
come down upon me;
Let me feel Your presence;
Spirit alight upon me.
