In a state of love, of grace
joining the Spirit, our brother
following the call of our creator
shepherded, guided on our walk
in union with the trinity
going the way of the cross
Seeking to be his servants
the children of our loving God
the facets of his love for us
revealed in so many ways
like cascades of living water
washing down over us
Wanting to share, to the whole world
to reach out, to the ends of the earth
that all would drink from these springs
refreshed, redeemed by our savior
led by the Spirit’s teachings
caring for our neighbors
bringing us home to God

“The mission of our church is to follow God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit,

& earlier poem:
————–
In the Three
The dance of love
three faces, manifestations
together one, in relationship
equal, sharing, abiding
connected in ways
we cannot understand
a glimpse of meaning
God is love, not merely loving,
God is father, son, holy spirit
each love, loving, one another
symmetry, dancing, singing,
laughing, love divine
