Celebration of Wind and Fire

Celebration of Wind and Fire Celebrate the unseen face of God’s eternal Spirit Embracing all before creating light; Action word of the eternal dance Hovering over the chaotic genesis of creation; Leading exiles out of exile through empty seas with fiery pillars Feeding wanderers hungry for heavenly bread at dawn; A living shadow pushing away the shadow of separation Planting salvation’s seed deep within the sanctuary of a young girl’s yes; Wearing the face of a dove descending on the Word Leading anointed redemption into the empty desert place of prayer; Driving wind and flames arriving on a festival morning When fearful souls stood up to speak the languages of the world gathered; Raising up a new tower of adoration reaching Heaven’s ears Uniting with eternal words no longer babbling; A fire, that never burns, burns through dust of days long past and now Still hovering, descending, overshadowing, and dancing; A sacred nudge delighting in coincidence Filling up the thirst that gnaws for serendipity in surprises; Inspiration birthed by the invisible hand of holy mischief Inviting ambivalent, wavering, steps to roads of rightness in quiet whispers; Lowering mountains, preparing highways now made straight, For pilgrim’s feet gathering flowers in wild wastelands; Caressing, prodding, in moments of a-ha ever evolving - Timeless mentor of universal innovation; Handiwork of the restless holy leaping up in wild fire When old hearts dream dreams and young eyes see visions; Laughing, dancing divine whimsy pirouetting through stars and galaxies Never the same when touched by the Spirit dancing. 12/2/19 Original Contest: Holy Spirit Chantelle Anne Cooke
