present


by Jonathan Hunter-Kilmer

drop by drop

distractions pass

leave senses free

to scent

to see or touch with outstretched heart

whatever You have sent

I steam and soak

in You confined

spread

opened

broken

mass

of blood receiving

molded

fleshed

with everything You ask

the perfume of Your breath

and song

in whisper silent torch

that strains my soul

You play

I roll

ecstatic in the force

that made me

universe

the spark

the fired star

I breath, Beloved,

I am

engulfed in joy

because You are
