the space between

______________

remembering the
daughter she never knew;
today is another anniversary of
the day she was removed…
from her womb, from her life,
but never from her mother’s heart.

asking questions like what color
are her eyes? does she look like me?
wishing she could hug her girl
and ask for forgiveness;
who knew? a mother died too.

holy places revisited

We’ve celebrated Easter…Pentecost is coming! 

 

burning bush in desert place

holy ground tread with bare feet

temple built as sacred space

where heaven and earth did meet

 

virgin’s womb a holy space

where divine entered our world

fishing boat or grassy place;

when Jesus spoke, truth unfurled

 

upon the cross where he stayed

hanging between sacred space

in the garden where he laid

death couldn’t silence holy grace

 

holiness we now receive

spirit fire from heaven’s hand

wholly people who believe

God’s house gathers from all lands
