Lavender

The bumble bees and I

are drawn to elongated

crowns of lavender flowers

on erect emerald stems.

Only in a world in which

souls can rub up against each other

could you find such creation –

enticing to all the senses.

Let me be here in the physical –

To feel,

to smell,

to see,

to hear,

to taste the knowable,

to intuit the Great Mystery.

Might these alluring blossoms

and these yielding insects

be evidence of our Godliness,

and that every living thing

is a mated aspect

of Heaven?

My body says, “yes.”
