JUST  NOW

 

Just now: that’s all we get.

Just now.

We forget on purpose.

We try to slide away

from what we promised.

We lie lies we call something else.

We get stuck in the mistakes

the regrets and the what if’s.

We get caught up in the plans

we never put into practice.

Too many words take over.

We forget that some people

listen, remember, are well

aware of what is going on just now.

We're not.

MOTION

 

Show me some motion

and some emotion as well.

Show me you’re alive.

Do some kicking.

Tell me some history –

a story or two.

Where have you been

since the last time I saw you?

Better and fuller: what have

you been doing since

the last time I saw you?

SING IT

Sing it as she said

and burst open

the heart of God.

Hear God's laughter

and God's clapping,

feel God's wind

and God's breath

see God's joy 

in creating us all.

Then depart

going out 

knowing it's

all worth it.
