Gathering


By Jonathan Hunter-Kilmer

leaves listen for the whisper

trees grow and die for light

twigs snap to interrupt You

the murmur of birds'flight

the egg left startled mother

life's urge to flee and find

a predator-free moment

a coat for suited clime

You need no such nor give it

but show me to accept

to use the flameI'm given

to see, purge, warm collect

about me what You tell me

I need to live in You

bride clothed in charity grace

Your passion I pursue
