Poetry list
puzzling or dazzling
A poem for Pentecost
the pieces don’t fit
together in the
picture I am trying
to assemble perhaps
I can force the puzzle
or dissemble the
pieces aren’t really mine
but I don’t want to
share for fear of
losing the moment
and the outcome
the jigsaw is my
solitary problem
and a bigger picture
will only be possible
when I am overtaken
overwhelmed in spired
breath in the wind
and breath that
touches blows glows
takes fire in joy and
glory with beauty and
power creating healing
leading singing
dancing today
in eternity
imperceptibly piecing
together our lives
and world not as a
puzzle solved but
a fragmented reality
loved into the
song of heaven
a view with a
room for all
