recitare: rush through


O Elusive and Captivating Spirit
take hold of me
like a well-worn saxophone
press Your lips to me
play and moan
Your jazz and blues
embrace me, O Living Music
rush through
as i become your wind instrument
in both laughing song and sad lament
set us all up as Your
orchestra of delight
sparking to ignite
the grace
to embrace
a world curled in fright

Steve, can I have your permission to use this prayer poem on my daily prayer blog (bobhostetler.blogspot.com) next Sunday, Oct. 18? I will, of course, give proper attribution.

Thanks.
