I feel the divine
There is a fire that burns within me
Lit by the felt love of those who held my hand
I hear their voices in my ear
Singing songs from within their heart.
I taste the juice and bread
A mystery to me but more
A sense of feeling someone with me
Somehow pouring love into my heart.
Tears come to my eyes uncalled
Joy and sadness comingled
I stand in line waiting
A voice speaks and a hand touches my head
All at once, I am overwhelmed
A presence so close so intimate
Takes hold of me and carries me away
My body falls and my spirit soars
I am no longer alone and afraid
I am held closer than any lover could
My body rests my heart beats faster
I am loved and not rejected
I am chosen to be bride and groom
A sacred uniting of all that I am
Neither male nor female but both
Giver and receiver at the same time.
I rise like Jesus from the tomb
Resurrected and indwelt by that holy presence
No longer separate from the divine
At one with all creation
And the Incarnation begins again.
