Holy Saturday Adoration
Sometimes I
feel the need to return to you
something
that shows my gratitude;
for I feel
Your grace upon my life
and see your
care through everything,
even in past
and future realms.
I am stingy
with my gifts, refraining from song
because my
notes do not lilt as sweet as I want,
refraining
from poetry
because
smallness overcomes me.
I have
received your talents
but put them
in a jar, out of sight,
my hands
clasped tight,
rotating my
thumbs round and round,
thinking how
I might spend them.
Ego gets so
stuck in sparing.
Let me drink
of the cup of abundant blessings
and fill out
the flesh of this human life.
In this
chalice are all the wondrous things
You ache to
do through me.
On the point
of this pen,
worlds wait
to manifest.
Beloved,
dare I request?
Do You call
me Beloved, too?
Is this
arrogance? Does it please you?
Surely, I
live in the midst of Your Heart.
What does
this mean but that Beloved is my name?
What other
name can witness to Your Womb?
Is there
another Word that can make me exist?
Who knows
how to pronounce me correctly?
You are my
Father, Child, Lover,
resplendent
Light that wafts as One,
but in my
soul, something more intimate,
something
personal warms my blood.
I heard You.
You said it,
Beloved, dear,
witness and
bear My truth.
Love endures
every trial,
and walks
unscathed from ancient tombs.
I shut out
every perception.
I want
nothing except Your kiss.
Soft lips
brush my half-moon eyes
And
consecrate my sight.
I turn from
self to innerfolds,
to a crevice
in the cleft of Lily’s breath,
sliding
between layers of bedrock and boundary,
so quiet, my
ears are like a salamander,
my breath
like a tortoise respiring in the depths.
I am patient
for the moment I love above all else.
Now.
You
pour
in
to
me.
