Out on the Horizon

Out on the horizon
beyond light’s bend
and the water’s end
all will transcend

Dive

Break the waters

Splash the tide

Float the surface

Survive

Waters swirling

Torrent subside

Breathe the surface

Reside

Wine from Water Flows

Wine from Water Flows
(John 2:1-12)

Empty vessels
Strewn about
Eager anticipation
Alongside emptiness
Without

And then the Wine
Flowed
From the Water
Divine

Religion and ritual
Fade to celebration
The best saved for last
Abundance and grace
In stark contrast
