After we’ve pulled our boat’s anchor out of the stars
and reinserted it in the now-calm sea
We’ll laugh at the sweat glistening on our arms
and gratefully pass the bottle of joyful relief
and mind-numbing forget
Fullness. From our individual boxes of fear
we will soar and join hands, laughing faces
unmasked, droplets of song appear and disappear
and dance freely in the most unexpected places
Will we have lost our mind
Fullness? After we return our ship to its course
will we remember what we have learned, or forget
to put each other first, and to remember the Source
of all the good and bad that we have ever met
the One from Whom comes all fruit
Fullness? May it be that we will retain the gifts
COVID-19 inadvertently gave us
And if our vessel ever again begins to drift
off course, will you remind me to thank and to bless
and to avoid my careless sin
Fullness?
