We Are Born

We are born and born
and born again…
there is no death outside
the human fiction;

We write our destiny…
in letters of flesh and
blood--nourished by
the Spirit Immortal,

Our prayers are incantations
reaching into the infinite
to excite and extract
the archetypes of all
that is, and all that can
become—drawing from the 
living realm of breathing
possibilities--

We are more than we
can imagine—and never less
than the image our God
and creator….
