teach me to be,
to reflect light
as the moon reflects the sun,
as a puddle
on a grey day
picks up an unexpected shard
of light
and highlights it
in rainbow hues…
+
teach me to be still,
to wait for your work
of grace,
to neither to strive
for it,
or to fake it,
but simply to allow
your being in my being…
+
teach me love in sorrow,
joy in pain,
new life in death,
resurrection possibilities
in every ending,
fresh power in each beginning…
+
teach me,
and let me be
yours…
