Poetry list
a glimpse of heaven
when love and flesh
are one we cheer
and whoop and weep
with joy unless it’s the
wrong flesh apart from
consanguinity flesh is
holy created by the
mystery of love yet in
our freedom we deny its
compulsion and beauty
its greater freedom and
inner light it is the
bond of faith that
completes transcends
transforms and lets
in the meaning that
eludes our selfish ways
we have so much to say
and do but rarely with
fidelity and love as the
overwhelming drive in all
things moments then
melt into eternity and
the routines of duty
and drudge spin into
the whirling glory of
the angels’ music and
the tremulous ecstasy
of union with the One
