Genevieve Howard has a new book of poetry that is on the edge of being published. It will be entitled Take, and one of those sixteen poems received a third-place award at the recent CORE arts expo. Take Heart is good for anytime, but especially this week, as we contemplate the mystery of God pouring out for the creation through Christ and a graced reciprocal motion by which we may pour ourselves out the same.
take heart
a day since i felt you.
a day of drizzle and no umbrella,
a day of roads and no destination.
i hunger for your bread then
scold myself for being hungry.
i listen for you but hear
only wind dividing wheat fields,
rain pattering on rooftop.
i look for signs but see
only grain, oven, bread,
mouth.
it rains. i descend into the river.
am i floating or sinking?
oh! i am dissolving
into you, my beloved.
i am the song, the salt and the stone.
you are the wind, the water and
the way.
