quiet night

snow
hush

blanket of
still
covers us

i partake
of
You

we drink
deeply
this
communion

cup overflows
joy rush in
sorrow no more

You hold me
fast.

unexpected revelation

dead kernel of popcorn
inside my chest
fled

brilliant glowing thing
reverberating life
came

free now

breathe

old deadness
popped out
gone

free now

breathe

what a trade
my death
for
Your life

doing
nothing special.
these things come

unexpectedly.
i am not afraid

free now

breathe
