The Spirit Arrives
The Spirit arrives on its own time.
Waking to notice the presence
of a meandering holiness,
simply means your hour has come.
There is love sparking everywhere
like a live wire thrashing around.
Yet most of us choose not to see
this wonderful world ablaze in love.
Whenever it happens for you,
rejoice in that sacred moment
the Spirit sets your heart on fire
and your fear is consumed by the flames.
