Relaxing

Outwardly still, inwardly slowing 

looking on

Grateful for imagination

Reality alive in my minds eye.

The trees are standing pillars of water 

And cars moving fires 

Birds - mostly wind 

Fish - wet miracles 

Stars? 

Holes in the knotted coherence of things

like humans maybe


My friend called us all Sentient Meat 

As we looked on at the airport

I loved it, for the scale of the thought

I laughed out loud

The laughter was real

but the phrase a bit hollow

Felt like a downgrade of our bodies grace

A forgetting of the spirits flame at our core

I was told Chesterton said

'The angels can fly because they take

themselves lightly'

I sense yet cannot express the relevance 

Not with any elegance 

Though, let us remember we are human

amongst all the fun.

Someone summed up Jesus with one word

'relaxed'

Which could just be the human version of

light
