Feather on the Breath

Hildegard's Gift

 

 

Lighter than air,
Lifted out of time and place
I am Hildegard's feather
Suspended on the breath of God.

The liturgy shifts my spirit
Sifting heaven and earth
Into a space shaken, compressed;
A supernal dimension
Where the Trinity dances;
Holographic motion in perpetual charity;

The Incarnation woven through Time,
Poured into chalice and bread,
Broken for me,
Blessed be He.
