Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy . . . 1 Peter 1:8
Sweet longing comes
I kneel down
filled with an aching empty
I have not seen him who comes
who's silent hovering
consumes
Who names all my hunger
and pours himself in
Inexpressible
I love
as he sees
Inexpressible
as he opens joy
in me
I will sing for the veil that never lifts/I will sing for the veil that begins, once in a life time maybe, to lift/I will sing for the rent in the veil/I will sing for what is in front of the veil, the floating light/ I will sing for what is behind the veil—light, light and more light/This is the world and this is the work of the world. ~Mary Oliver
