POETRY

Deep Breaths and Sighs

“Deep Breaths and Sighs,” read by Maura H. Harrison.

Hot spots of stained-glass light flare up and blaze
The altar — brilliantly — articulating
All the mosaic tiles, illuminating
The Lamb. His perfect pale and lucent grays

Lighten and fade as clouds cover the pane —
Fleecy full breaths and subtle shading sighs.
The Lamb, alive before adoring eyes,
Gazes with revelation, holy vane,

A look that knows our names. We’re seen. We hear
The Father’s ever-finding “follow me.”
We feel alive — deep breaths and sighs — and see
Our tessellated souls, brilliantly dear.
