peregrine

another poem about breathing
breathe on me
breath
of God
that would be nice
I think Aslan breathed on people
and they were affirmed
to
exist and even have a calling

though maybe
existence
was enough

to know that God love me
for me
but
no
I should
do something
too
as I’ve wondered
and I’ve wandered

like the song

and like the song I wonder
while
wandering
why Jesus had to die
and
did he wonder
too
while he was wandering

well
we’re here
Jesus
Spirit and God
and me
without standing or power

a world to cheat
as well as to say hello
	hello
	maybe the start of cheating
and
what is my place
when it seems I have no place

I am God’s
I’m sure
though God be angry with
my performance so far
and
yet is love
Jesus and Spirit
too
to help

I want
to trust
I hope
