So much is offered

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, November 29, 2009

So much is offered to us

simple men and women that we are
free grace
so much love
so much tenderness
warmth gentleness sweetness
lips like honey
electric sparks touch in passing
luscious words that make us smile
even laugh
our lips need to speak that love back
lest it pass away and fade
unnoticed and unloved in return

Our hands need to pass along
that spark

as frail and faltering as they are
lest it die and fall to ground
unredeemed
when we pay homage to
the love we’ve known
gifts we’ve been given
we return kiss for kiss
God’s lips upon us
and the world’s heart beats
strongly lusciously mightily
like a ripened fruit so sweet
it hurts to taste the nectar
