Chalice
October 22, 2009
Breathed from Creator Father, work of His hands
See me – child of dust.
Earth thought and red clay molded by Spirit Word:
Mud Woman – lungs full of sound of life.
Wasted by sin, shattered – I am child of ancient curse.
Ripped from the cross of Christ, in perfect time
See me – child of birth and being.
Earth quenched and satiated with sacred blood:
Stone Warrior – sin price paid with love.
Death is defeated, denied – I am unfettered, shriven, free.
Refined by fire, endless gift of Holy Spirit
See me – child of truth and light.
Earth perfected in fiery passion, pressure, grace:
Diamond Vessel – Bride of the living God.
Delivered in purity, renewed – I am complete, broken, whole.
