by Debra Wendt

Into silence
chaos
breath awaiting
the heart overwhelmed
discontented
wonder – 
a light encounter catches and holds;
consciousness of good
remembered
voiced
an intentional reflection
in accordance with;
we want to embrace good
know steadfastness
experience life as it is meant – 
quicken
root of Jesse.
