Union


Today I was a bird, singing the song
   Creator gave me to sing.
I was a tree, bearing fruit nourished
   by roots deep in God’s soil.
I was a brook, babbling and sparkling
   in the sun, making its way
   naturally, beautifully.

Today I caught fire. I was all flame,
   fully alive in the flow of grace.
One hundred percent who I was created
   to be,
      like bird, brook and tree.

Today I knew union, not in ecstasy,
   but in living completely surrendered,
   bursting with the gifts of my true self
   the way a fully ripe grape bursts between the teeth.
