Circling God

The spiral relationship
draws us toward God
nourishing our souls
filling our emptiness
that we might circle
out into the world
and not be shattered
by the brokenness
we encounter there

We can bear hope
riding the ridges
of the spirit’s back
the way may look closed
the lines impenetrable
but in truth
the space Gods needs
to slip into our lives
and the distance
we need to bridge
is thin as breath
