Receiving

One transcendent moment,

an awakening

an awareness

a beauty

that is far beyond normal reality.

a gift

that is given

without reason,

rhyme or song.

where heaven

stoops

and embraces

our fears

and our failures

with

mercy,

forgiveness,

grace

and love.

and the glorious revelation?

we have nothing to offer,

nothing to sing

nothing to say.

with empty hands

and hollow hearts

we have only one

part to play.

we receive.
