for all the broken years
raw air searing the surface
your shining face coming up for air
all i can remember is
your joy
raging raucous jubilence
indomitable, relentless spirit
bounding out of bed
before dawn
to charge the day
a virtual resonance
singing LIVE LIVE LIVE
precious friend
all those broken years
have given way
seamless life
unfrayed
untorn
resilient
radiance
of untarnished life
all that you have raged for
emerges like a fresh faced child
leaving in your wake
a beautifully etched path
not crumbs
indelible highway
leading out of dark
you with your offering
running to forgive
convinced ever of goodness
calling out
just like Elisha*
refusing to be left alone
without a blessing
calling out
with your
unquenchable voice
“i want a double portion of goodness.
i know there must be some goodness.
give me a double portion of this goodness.”
dear friend
years give way
your face shines
resplendent fiery spirit
light spilling everywhere
singing
i see
i see
o dear sweet, sweet loving Father, Mother God
i see!

“What if the old dragon should send forth a new flood to drown the Christ-idea? He can neither drown your voice with its roar, nor again sink the world into the deep waters of chaos and old night. In this age the earth will help the woman; the spiritual idea will be understood.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy
“A great sanity, a mighty something buried in the depths of the unseen, has wrought a resurrection among you, and has leaped into living love. What is this something, this phoenix fire, this pillar by day, kindling, guiding, and guarding your way? It is unity, the bond of perfectness, the thousandfold expansion that will engirdle the world, — unity, which unfolds the thought most within us into the greater and better, the sum of all reality and good.” Mary Baker Eddy
