stretch

I have waited for Spring

steady light spreading

days long, bright

snow chased away

when rains fall hard

cold retreats

yet as my bones

thaw, parts of me

remain hard, frozen

creativity stiff, ice crusted

words, like tender 

muscles need to 

stretch slow, steady

so I shall begin

training, a writing fitness

routine, day by day

making myself accountable

to Him, and to others

spirits in community of warm

I ache for the melting

Beginning on the 1st of May 

I will join Sandra Heska King and others

working our way through Dave Harrity's book

Making Manifest

On Faith, Creativity and the Kingdom at Hand
