What is present for you now?
Blessed is he who believes
blessed is he who listens, who hears, who breathes
in the Spirit and the essence and the
present
of your presence
like honey, dripping
from satiated lips
of praise, pure and pleasing
a pleasing aroma

What is present for you now?
Blessed is she who can sit with you in
this place
and with open arms and open heart
wrap both around
and gaze into Your face
and breathe
and wait
listen
listen and wait

What is present for me now?
Peace
peace
some worries
but peace that can only and always come
from sitting at your feet like a child
as a child
wait

What is present for you now?
I hope
joy
peace
Things better than the words that describe them
I hope
I wait.
