Whither Wind

Whither Wind
John 3: 5-8


Born of the Spirit.
Mystery wind-light
shines in your eyes
as from a wise place
both present and distant

words flow in your breath
on musical wavelet inflections

you breathe when I breathe
as you listen

your answers, when I ask,
not paint-scrapings from broken glass,
but uncoiling vapours
that rise unfamiliar
from deep wells
of wise and untroubled thought

Born of the Spirit.
I see you here
I have always known you
not always this way,
but whither wind?

I hear you now
I feel you, and you move freely,
stirring my dry leaves

my eyes follow you
across this sacramental table in wonder
where are you going?
all within reach
your presence enfolds
my grasp cannot hold
already I miss you.
