zugunruhe

a restlessness is stirring
deep down within
birthright of migratory unease
and the taste of original sin
an anxious syndrome emerging
the fruit of deceit inbred
but God has another trajectory
new Life for us to tread

wafting scent on the breeze
restive if not rare
rife with expectation, we cannot bear
courage in the anxious grip
of a Living Spirit’s care
yet on the run again
God in search of us
such an evanescent love affair

this constant migration
when will it ever end?
or are we transitory forever
a seasonal portend
but Hope is ever steady
Son of Man to descend
redemption and mercy
in the remission of sin

Creator and Redeemer
He seeks and dwells in persistence
giving some meaning, some purpose
for our shared fragile existence
an encounter with the ancient message
as we take flight all together
the mark of beauty
and an unseen tether
