Oblation

1. Thanksgiving

I pray the prayer

embedded in my neurons

each atom’s refrain

to its forming by the Maker

2. Reunion

a gentle puff of breath

escapes my lips

blessing the chance encounter

of planets orbiting different suns

3. Surrender

a posture intrinsic

as each flower’s

seeking of the sun

each birdsong

on each new day

4. Fusion

each small step

impossible under gravity’s thrall

we traversed the universe

empowered by Love

5. Completion

thanks to the One

who created everything

united in the holy

paradox of life in death

Love the elemental

fusion of heaven and earth
