PENTECOST  2020

Gone Holy Spirit ….

It seems like the in and out

of breath has left our lungs –

and we are speechless –

has fled our sails –and

we are stuck on this side

of the lake – has  been locked

and hidden in our upper rooms –

with plywood panels boarding

up our windows ….

Come Holy Spirit ….

Wind - Holy Breath of God –

Fresh Air – wherever you are -

breathe into us – Genesis us –

RUAH  us – rush into us -

fill us - so that  we

can shout out new words ….

Fill our sails so we can head

for new shores  …. Open our windows

so we can look out at blue skies beyond us.
