slow flakes/my favourite things

slow flakes
light flakes
drifting weightlessly
covering

covering where pain and tears
were yielded
all the fears
given up

traded for

Eucharisteo

Thanksgiving

now the snowflakes fall
whimsically
where they may
with laughter
and lightness of heart
covering
filling the holes
pain made
the emptiness
sorrow dug
the chasms
fear chiseled

The giving of thanks
Eucharisteo

Snow flakes
His grace
falling
filling
making whole
where emptiness lay
now filling with joyous laughter
overflowing tears

because He has given everything we need
there is no more left
than
Eucharsiteo

giving of thanks

I have come back
like the leper
to give thanks

and I go away

rejoicing
full
weeping
complete
cleansed

like Janet said...slain

but whole

snowflakes
falling ever so lightly
His Grace
covering

my favourite things
