Featured Poem:
Song From the Road
Long on this journey
Long in these shadows
Far from the only home
Low all our hoping
Deep the undoing
Just the forsaken road
Voices we dream of
Echoes remember
We all together there
Heaven was once
Our song to be singing
Hearts’ every word
In wonder and joy
I am how your heart discovers
All the hopes that sleep in you
I am every silence calling
I am Fountain I am Meadow
I am every secret door
Sing your ships into their harbors
Sing them bring them heal them home
Murmur every holy river
I am Harvest I am Blossom
I am leaves around your soul
Come from the shadows, into the gleaming,
Dawn of the day in us;
Open our lives to everything growing–
How shall we say this grace?
World we are watching, world we are,
Keep us in life with you.
How do we answer? How do we know?
Love bring us closer. Mercy us home.
I am how your heart discovers
All the hopes that sleep in you
I am every silence calling
I am Fountain I am Meadow
I am every secret door
Sing your ships into their harbors
Sing them bring them heal them home
Murmur every holy river
I am Harvest I am Blossom
I am leaves around your soul
