Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit
There is a cathedral inside my heart
a holy space, a sacred wall
Where You dwell
i invited You
to inhabit the
scorched places
Holy Spirit
My Maker and i
In Union
He has consummated me
He has crucified the rough places
He has crucified the cruel places
He has crucified the twisted paths
and the roads that led nowhere
He has crucified the lust that used
to hunger to be filled
only to discover an emptiness
afterward

Holy Spirit
i invited You
to inhabit the haunted
specter within
to inhabit the places
of fear and wanderlust
the years that spun
themselves into oblivion
i invited You to join my pain
Remember that i am only a grain of sand
on an endless shore
Remember that i am only a drop of
water in an ocean

Teach me to sing new songs
Teach me to speak new words
Teach me to love as a child
Teach me to bury my sorrows
inside You
Cover me with the feathers
of Your grace
Teach me to believe in a place
that is real
not the illusion of a reality
that is disintegrating

Oh Holy Spirit! teach me joy
overflowing
to dance with tambourines
in the silence

Teach me to dream the infinately impossible
