light bodies interwoven – v8

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.
