Living Psalm 126
Lent 5 (April 3, 2022)


I had a dream.
I had a dream I was dancing.
And my body’s usually awkward.
But this time I flowed
with the music
in rhythm.

Other bodies joined
all around me—different
steps but elation effervesced,
and we laughed, all of us hearing 
the sound of Soul’s music
keening and calling.

I’d cried
for my being’s failure 
to meet expectations put on me
in so many ways, but now 
my dreams remember
Home is here.
