Emmanuel
You who
Lived and
Breathed and
Walked
in and amongst
our creatureliness
(our messiness our smelliness our smallness)
Breathe
Your Life
Into
my messiness
my smelliness
my smallness
Today
I wait for
I welcome
You
Peace bringer
Life giver
Divine One
Deliverer
Redeemer
Blessed restorer of all things
Your voice
Your voice
Is the one I want
Only
Speak
your servant
is
listening
